Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen ordered soldiers based at Cambodia-Thai border to be on "alert but patient and calm" and to avoid any "provocative act."

In a statement released Friday after the weekly cabinet meeting, Hun Sen said that while Cambodia is seeing a positive move concerning the foreign policy of Thai Prime Minister-elect on restoring Cambodia-Thai relations, the military must stay alert, patient and calm and avoid any provocative act.

Phay Siphan, spokesman of the Office of the Council of Ministers said the premier delivered the order directly via video conference during the meeting to all military commanders at the border.


According to Phay Siphan, in addition to the order, the premier also advised the military commanders to stay in touch with Thai counterparts and to create good atmosphere through convening regular meetings and conversation so as to avoid military confrontation.

On Monday, Hun Sen hailed the success of Thai election and in particular, the winning Pheu Thai Party, and expressed his strong hope that relations between Thailand and Cambodia will be restored.

He said he is ready to work with the incoming Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra in bilateral and regional cooperation.

Cambodia and Thailand have had border trouble since 2008, and since then many rounds of military clashes erupted at the border near Cambodia's Temple of Preah Vihear, and near two other temples in the west, located about 150 kilometers away.

These two traitors names are "Xoy Sopheap and Xal" they don't serve khmer nation or khmer people at all. They are serving Vietnam nation benefit such as they don't dare to talk about Hun Sen treaties from 1979-1985.

The traitors names "Xoy and Xal" are like to confuse khmer people in Cambodia every day. They try to brain waste Cambodian people to confuse about the truth and the face about khmer real history. They do everythings in their power to confuse Cambodian people throught their TV show programs.

Xoy Sopheap and Xal are the real traitors. Cambodian people must don't forget their faces and their families faces. When the opportunities are coming Cambodian people will know hwat to do to these traitors and their families, relatives and friends.
