That'is a very good idea !
Why you fight for them ?
You should even not listen to them..
You eat shit in the jungle and
they eat king food at town..
You sleep on your rucksack and
they sleep on their down pillow..
And you, you kill eachothers ?
Don't believe anything Thai thieves say and do.
Well! If the Siem thugs want to cover their naked aggression on Cambodia buy using sport to fool the world and I don't see how it can help solve the real problem! The Cambodian must not be fooled easily by any simple act by the Siem thugs because naked aggression is naked aggression which will lead to more conflict!
Don't play sport to prolong the conflict but play sport to end the conflict!
