JAKARTA, May 9 (Bernama) -- Asean leaders have asked Thailand and Cambodia to settle their border dispute through negotiations and in the spirit of Asean friendship.
Datuk Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak said the dispute drew the attention of the 18th Asean summit here and Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono as Asean chairman met the prime ministers of the two countries.
"We are convinced that Indonesia as chairman of Asean can be the facilitator to ensure that discussions and negotiations are the best way to seek settlement," the Prime Minister told Malaysian journalists here at the end of the summit.
On the request of Myanmar to take its turn as Asean chairman in 2014, Najib said that Yudhoyono would visit that country to make his assessment.
"We constantly encourage and ask Myanmar to continue its agenda of national reconciliation," he added.
On the application of Timor Leste to join Asean, Najib said that many of the leaders agreed because its location qualified it for membership in the grouping.
He said that Asean Foreign Ministers would take into consideration the capacity of Timor Leste and the timing of the application in light of the aim of establishing an Asean Community by 2015.
In the sidelines of the summit, Najib met Yudhoyono to discuss bilateral matters, including the heavy sentence passed on six Malaysian fishermen accused of trespassing into Indonesian waters.
"He has not received a full report, will receive the report, and will make the best decision possible in the matter," Najib said.

Get rid of Hun Sen or ask Hun Sen to step down.
Hun Sen and his CPP officials are not very effective leaders for Cambodia. They are just a bunch of cheaters, corrupted idiots, uneducated idiots, communist puppets of Vietnamese communist master in Hanoi.
Cambodia and people of Cambodia will be very peaceful with Hun Sen and CPP Officials.

Koh Tral Island must not be forgotten
By Ms. Rattana Keo
Why do Koh Tral Island, known in Vietnam as Phu Quoc, a sea and land area covering proximately over 30,000 km2 [Note: the actual land size of Koh Tral itself is 574 square kilometres (222 sq miles)] have been lost to Vietnam by whose treaty? Why don’t Cambodia government be transparent and 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 on the Thai border and what's about over 30,000km2 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?
Koh Tral Island, the sea and land area of over 30,000 square kilometres have been lost to Vietnam by the 1979 to 1985 treaties. The 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 protecting a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group but disguising as protecting the Khmer nation?
The Cambodian army at front lines suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition and their families have no health care assistance, no securities after they died but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning system with message from young girls, have first class medical care from oversea medical treatments, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make the Cambodian people suffer every day.
Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that resulted in the loss over 30,000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why they are not being transparent and brave enough to inform all Cambodians and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't they include Koh Tral (Koh Tral size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen and bigger than Singapore [Note: Singapore's present land size is 704 km2 (271.8 sq mi)]) with heap of great natural resources, in the Cambodian education system?
Look at Hun Sen's families, relatives and friends- they are billionaires, millionaires. Where did they get the money from when we all just got out of war with empty hands [in 1979]? Hun Sen always say in his speeches that Cambodia had just risen up from the ashes of war, just got up from Year Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% of innocent Cambodian people are so poor and struggling with their livelihood every day?
Koh Tral was a Cambodian island, and technically and legally, remained a Cambodian island until today.
