[Thai] PM sceptical of Hun Sen's proposal

It is still too soon to talk about signing a ceasefire agreement with Cambodia, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Thursday.

Mr Abhisit was responding to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen's proposal for Thailand and Cambodia to sign a permanent ceasefire agreement witnessed by other members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or the Asean chairman, when Asean foreign ministers meet in Jakarta on Feb 22.

"We were not the one that started to fighting. It is still too soon to talk about signing any agreement, he said.

"Thailand said from the beginning that we were not first to open fire. We did as what other countries would. That is, when we are fired at or attacked first, we fire back. We have the right to protect our sovereignty."


Mr Abhisit reiterated that it is the two countries in conflict must hold talks, but said Asean can act as a facilitator.

Asean is not in the position to get involved in the matters to be talked over between the two countries, he said, adding that Hun Sen's proposal is still not clear.

The United Nations Security Council on Monday called for a permanent ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia, and that they negotiate an end to their dispute.

Not just IT, Finacial planner, Accountant, Pharmacist are hard to get a job at Australia, now.

Most people that I know finish degree in commece ( Financial planner ) is so hard to get job in that field and the salary is shit less than $42 000 before Tax. Yes senoir financial planner may be get about $75 000- 90 000 but they must be at least 15 years of experinced that have no failure record truck in financial firm.

Young people at Sydney study at university here like so show off each other that their degree earn 100k per eyear but that untrue in real world. Nobody will pay you and your degree 100k if you can't earn for $1000 000 to the company.

Cheers to all cambodian kids that have university degree in Sydney. Stop show off each other like that face the real world it's better.
