"The PAD leaders said they have successfully put pressures and force the Cambodian leader not to enter into Thai soil."BANGKOK, Feb 8 (TNA) - Thailand's Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on Monday stood firm that his government would not give up the contested 1.8 square miles (4.6 sq km) area adjacent to the ancient Preah Vihear temple to Cambodia, saying the area which is owned by Thailand must belong to the kingdom.
He said the government would send a letter asking the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO)'s World Heritage Committee to review the map which Cambodia earlier submitted to it and would give a Thai opinion to the UNESCO committee.
The World Heritage Committee will soon meet to consider Cambodia's application to list the ancient temple and its surrounding areas contested by the two neighbouring countries as a World Heritage site.
Mr Abhisit said Cambodia has been trying to acquire the area for two years but his government would not budge and would not accept any disputed map submitted by the neighbouring country.
The International Court of Justice ruled in 1962 that Preah Vihear temple belongs to Cambodia, but Thailand holds that the 1.8 square miles (4.6 sq km) area surrounding the ancient temple belongs to Thailand.
Border demarcation in the area remains unresolved and sporadic clashes have occurred recently.
The Thai prime minister said the Thai-Cambodia border has returned to normal after Mr Hun Sen cancelled his planned visit to Ta Muen Thom temple ruins in Thailand's northeastern province of Surin.
He also shrugged off reports that Cambodia has changed the name of the village opposite Ta Muen Thom ruins as Ta Muen Village, saying the matter will not cause any misunderstanding nor confusion as Thailand can prove that the area belongs to the kingdom.
Meanwhile, hundreds of protesters led by the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) or the Yellow Shirts have dispersed after receiving confirmation that Mr Hun Sen had cancelled his planned visit and returned to Phnom Penh.
The PAD leaders said they have successfully put pressures and force the Cambodian leader not to enter into Thai soil.
Thai military personnel remain stationed at the Ta Muen Thom ruins and are closely monitoring Cambodian military movements. The area has been declared a restricted zone as the situation is considered risky.
The case has already been settled by the ICJ as of June 15, 1962.
ReplyDelete"In its Judgment on the merits the Court, by nine votes to three, found that the Temple of Preah Vihear was situated in territory under the sovereignty of Cambodia and, in consequence, that Thailand was under an obligation to withdraw any military or police forces, or other guards or keepers, stationed by her at the Temple, or in its vicinity on Cambodian territory."

Samdech Hun Sen and Royal Government of Cambodia must ask the ICJ to interpret and confer the court's decision with Thailand. There is NO need for bilateral talks and the presence of Thai military on Cambodian soil is naked agression.
The Royal Government of Cambodia must bring this case to the UN security council immediately, prolonging the case will only weeken Cambodia's position.

nothing to make a big plat of that siamese. vietcong own all Cambodia, can kill and exploit the whole Cambodia, vietcong own Angkor and everything but you cant even own a ruin Ta Moan and Prah vihear, why? Because you barbarians are too damn ass comparing to vietcong. Sooner vietcong will eat your heads too. So damn ass as you are siamese, vietcong will have no problem to destroy your damn ass race into dirt
ReplyDeleteIn case of Prasat Ta Moan Thom, this is the opportunity for Samdech Hun Sen to take this case to the ICJ again as Samdech Norodom Sihanouk once did with Prasat Preah Vihear in 1962.
ReplyDeleteH.E. Hor Nam Hong, Sok An and Cambodian legal experts must start and prepare on the legal process immediately. We can still use the Annex I map (Franco-Siamese map)for this case.
One day, Cambodia will sweep through the rest of Southest Asia to regain her 'lost territories' like Germany of Europe in WWII!
God, so to speak, has given us the greatest conceivable treasure and capacity and invited us to work it out in the worst possible situation. By this I mean we’re coming out of an animal ancestry, hence we have all those inclinations of vegetables and mammals. Our response to conflict... is the same as an animal whose property or territory is challenged by another. They don’t handle this by discussion but by fighting. Is it the right way for humans? It isn’t. Humans are designed to negotiate, collaborate, dialog, and forgive. This is the human response waiting to be expressed in society.

ReplyDeleteGood points...that means Thai already lost...and Abhisit is a loser...!!!
Thomas, if they can only talk and listen and being Buddhists as they are...these animals do not know the meaning of co-existence, they only how to steal from others. Do some research and find out where the original 'Tai' homeland was...according to Thai academia, it's Nanchao and possibly the Altai mountains of Mongolia! :-)
ReplyDeleteTo 11:32pm, The only barbarian race is Viet and Thai. Why do they want Khmer land for? Didn't we give you guys enough? Cambodia never want anything from Vietnam or Thailand but it's the opposite from those racist countries. Vietnam and Thailand are sitting on Khmer Empire's Kingdom right now, what the hell are you complaining about. We let you live in our country. You are suppose to be the host country so act like it.
ReplyDelete11:32 pm
ReplyDeleteBased on your logic, you are a moronic imbacile. Did you know that a majority of the Thai people have Khmer blood over the last 800 years? Did you know that much of the Thai culture and language was borrowed from Khmer? Did you know that your current King has Khmer blood?
hahahaha read well people before you reply to me
ReplyDeleteHun Sen should take all these border issues to world court. Tell them that even the provinces that adjacent to Cambodia's they are all belong to Khmer.
ReplyDeleteKhmer Chongvath Trat,
Yeah go to the UN once and good for all HUN SEN!!
ReplyDeleteWe need to reclaim all the provinces in Thailand if they kept insisting that the lands of 4.6km2 and Prasat Ta Moen Thom belong to them.
And ask them how come the name was named by Khmer????
PHNOM PENH (AFP)— Cambodia has accused Internet giant Google of being "professionally irresponsible" over its map of an ancient temple at the centre of a border dispute with Thailand, a letter seen by AFP Saturday showed.
ReplyDeleteThe Google map "places almost half of the Khmer (Preah Vihear) temple in Thailand and is not an internationally recognised map," said the letter written by the secretary of state of the Cambodian Council of Ministers, Svay Sitha.
He described the map as "radically misleading".
"We, therefore, request that you withdraw the already disseminated, very wrong and not internationally recognised map and replace it," Svay Sitha wrote.
The complaint was made as Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen was Saturday making his first visit to the 11th century Preah Vihear temple.
Cambodia and Thailand have been at loggerheads over their border for decades. Nationalist tensions spilled over into violence in July 2008, when the Preah Vihear temple was granted UNESCO World Heritage status.
Four soldiers were killed in clashes in the temple area in 2008 and three more in a gunbattle last April. Smaller flare-ups continue to be reported between troops in the area, with the most recent exchange of fire on January 29.
The border has never been fully demarcated, partly because it is littered with landmines left over from decades of war in Cambodia.
Relations between the neighbouring countries deteriorated further in November after Hun Sen appointed ousted Thai premier Thaksin Shinawatra, who lives abroad to escape a jail term for corruption, as an economic adviser.
The World Court ruled in 1962 that the temple belonged to Cambodia, although the main entrance lies at the foot of a mountain in Thailand. The exact boundary through the surrounding grounds remains in dispute.
I'm glad that Cambodian gov. said something to google. They need to ask and verify the map before posting them online.
ReplyDeleteCan't be unprofessional!!!
No wonder Chinese kicked "Google" out!!
ReplyDeleteGoogle is being bias toward Cambodia and sided with Thailand.
ReplyDeletethe siem pad thugs media is so distorted in the reports from the truth. they say everything in their favor only! go figure!

ReplyDeleteTo your stupid smelly arse 1:10 am
ReplyDeleteI just google and notice that Siamese/Thais were once Chinese and Khmer slave from Nanchao. They are so ashamed of their past and now pretends to be better than everyone and that their shit don't stink. Most of them are Ladyboiz and love to suck on White 'Farang' dicks. So shut the hell up and eat my shit, pussy face. If you are Siamese/Thai and having a bad time with your tiny dicks and smelly pussies, please consider us at:

Hun Sen must take this border issues to the world court regardless of YUON scare or not. Because our lands, sea borders has been shrinking dramatically.

If I was given a choice to kill between Hun sen and abishit and prefer put a bullet in the asshole of that fucken abishit. I hate him the bastard
ReplyDeletewow! thief won't return khmer lands!
ReplyDeleteBy all means pursue legal avenues to regain any Khmer territories/temples (Ta Moan Thom?) currently under Thai control. The Thais, however, having lost the Preah Vihea case at the ICJ are unlikely to co-operate through legal processes, and that is why they always insist on 'bilateral' negotiation - a delaying tactic designed to wear down the political will of their opponents. If pressed, they will likely put forward 'joint-development' proposals which, with their existing superior physical infrastructures such as roads and tourism logistics, will mean that Thailand can resume its pre-dispute position, taking the lion's share in future development of these areas.
ReplyDeleteIt is in Cambodia's interest to transform traditionally conflict scarred regions into zones of peace and development, but this should not override vital national boundary and integrity which must be clearly delineated and defended from further encroachments. Failing to do so will leave future generations with compounded and unfair burdens to bear. They could be your own children or grand children answering the calls of nationalistic duties.
Cambodia should learn from Laos who spent 2 years honing their military prowess, spending millions of dollars on military hardware in the process prior to their effective campaign to seize disputed Mekong islets from Thailand in the late 1980s.
Until such a time when territorial disputes can be amicably settled, Cambodia should be in a position to back up her legitimate claims with telling, concrete measures, rather than being bamboozled to no end with empty gestures from Bangkok.
Lives will be lost and people will be maimed in armed clashes, but just as our ancestors had been compelled to make these sacrifices so that we have a place still to call home, the sacrifice to be made by the soldiers and their families will not be forgotten by a grateful nation.

Wow. You people need to calm down. If the land dispute was settled already in 1962 like you say, then the Thais should just get out and leave it alone. Cambodia has been through enough don't you think? Just let them have the area. Boarder disputes can get out of hand if not dealt with. The UN should defenitly intervene before a war breaks out. That is the last thing that either country needs.
