Indonesia, as the ASEAN Chair, was appointed to become observer, ensuring the avoidance of further arm clash in the border of Cambodia and Thailand following cease fire agreement pledged by high level staffs of the two disputing countries in the region on Feb. 19, Indonesian Foreign Affairs Minister Marty Natalegawa said on Tuesday.
Speaking on the sidelines of an informal meeting attended by foreign ministers of ASEAN member of states, discussing solution to end clashes in Cambodia-Thailand border, Marty said that the appointment on Indonesia as the observer team was under the requirement of both disputing parties.
"We will place our team members in both sides, in Cambodia and in Thailand. They would cooperate with authorities of the respective countries, ensuring both parties restrain from arm clashes," Marty told a press conference, flanked by all of ASEAN countries' foreign affairs ministers plus ASEAN Secretary General Dr. Surin Pitsuwan in Indonesian Foreign Affairs premises here.
Marty added that his office would send memo to the related ministries in the country to prepare the modalities for that noble task, saying that deployment of the observer team in both countries would be conducted as soon as possible.
"Among the institutions we told to prepare their officials in carrying out the task was the Indonesia armed force. Together with officials from other institutions, they would monitor, observe and do the reporting about the ongoing situation on the ground to Indonesia as the chair of ASEAN," Marty said.
According to Marty, the appointment on Indonesia as the observer team was unique since it was requested by both feuding countries and would be placed in both countries respectively, not in a particular enclave.
The cease fire on the arm clashes in Thailand-Cambodian border area, commenced in Feb. 4, was resulted from Indonesia-brokered peace talks held in Phnom Penh and Bangkok on Feb. 7-8 and endorsement from the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) in its meeting attended by Marty on Feb. 14.

Just keep very close eyes on Thailand side and do not worry much with Cambodian side, we respect international law better than Thailand...Cambodia is poor and we will never dare to fight with big and powerful country first?? The big and powerful country is the one who keep threaten and intimidaing the poor and the weak country....
Usually the big and powerful country is the one who keep threaten and keep bullying the poor country...by flexing their muscles, showing off their new jet fighter planes, tanks, modern weapons...I urge Asean leader not to worry much on poor country like cambodia, we never start fighting first, only protecting ourself!
Why do Kos Trol, sea and lands proximately over 10 000 km2 have been lost to Vietnam by who treaty? Why don’t Cambodia goverment transparencies explain to Cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?
Cambodian armies are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 and what's about over 10 000km2 of Cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian armies you are decide the fate of your nation, Cambodian army as well as Cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?
Kos Trol, Sea and lands over 10 000km2 have been lost to Vietnam by who treaty at 1979 to 1985 treaty! Treaty! Cambodian army at front line as well as all Cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are Cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protect a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group rather in the real name of protecting Khmer nation?
Cambodian army at front line suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition, their families have no health care help, no securities after they die but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning with young girls message, have super health care from oversea medical treatment, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make Cambodian people suffer everyday as Cambodian people know already.
Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that result lost over 10 000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why don't they transparency inform all Cambodian and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't include Kos Trol (Kos Trol size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen and bigger than Singapoor with heap of great natural resources) in education system in Cambodia.
Look at Hun Sen families, relatives; friends are billionaires, millionaires where do they get the money from if we all just get out of war with empty hands? Hun Sen always say in his speech Cambodia just get up from war, just get up from Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% innocent Cambodian people are so poor struggling with living every day.
Smart Khmer girl Ms. Rattana Keo,
