Source from Bangkok reported that on 28 August 2009, in front of the Thai government building, about 60 Thai extremists led by Tolsitsumvong called on the Abhisit’s administration to cancel all the temporary agreements with Cambodia, and they also oppose the pullout of Thai troops from Wat Keo Sekha Kiri Svarak Pagoda located near the Preah Vihear temple. This demand was made because they believe that if Thai troops leave this area, Thailand will lose 4.6 square-kilometers of land due to the return of Cambodian people and troops to live back in this area. This handful of Thai extremists also opposed every agreements that were concluded in the past, and they are waiting for the Thai Parliament to ratify it (their disagreement) only. Cambodian observers believe that this is a crazy action, and that this is not the Thai people’s stance, but it was only that of these mindless people who are blind to history. This condemnable action takes place when the border situation in Preah Vihear temple has improved, but these extremists are fueling nationalism instead.
