PM calls meeting to help 7 Thais

Bangkok Post

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva called an urgent meeting late Monday afternoon to discuss ways to expedite the release of the seven Thai border-crossers now being held at Prey Sar prison in Phnom Penh.

Mr Abhisit said he will meet with Deputy Prime Minister overseeing security Suthep Thaugsuban, Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon and Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya.

Foreign minister's secretary Chavanond Intarakomalyasut said the ministry hoped the seven Thais would not face extra charges.

The ministry would weigh up the situation before reporting to Prime Minister Abhisit about whether he should to make a direct phone call to Prime Minister Hun Sen.


The secretary said all seven detainees were allowed meetings this morning with relatives who travelled to Phnom Penh last night.

The seven were arrested by Cambodian soldiers on Dec 29 while on an "inspection trip" near a disputed border area in Sa Kaeo's Aranyaprathet district adjacent to Cambodia's Banteay Meanchey province.

The Cambodian court charged them with illegal entry and illegal trespass on a military zone. The two charges carry a combined maximum penalty of 18 months in jail.

I smell war.

We, Thai people, will, under any circumstances, protect OUR national sovereignty whether through diplomatic channel or military means, and-- rest assured -- your stubbornness and arrogance will be defeated by the will of our people.

The DECISION is YOURS! Make it wisely.

the question is when the Thais will ever wage a war with its neighboring Cambodia. But don't expect it, soon there will be one as you idiot wish for it. Cambodia always welcome a war with Thailand, no matter at what cost. Shooting Cambodian innocent boys would not consider to be superior unless a real war could be started.

When Cambodia given one man drives the country,he is not just a strongman he is also a hardman to work with. Strongman Hun Sen's decision to keep these seven Thais as long as it could. I dont think Mr.Hun likes the diplomacy much. His orinal is communist brainwash. I can see the dark cloud in the sky for sometimes. When will it be the clear sky.

Just a bad idea from some stupid Thai. But welcome to Cambodia and this is the way we Khmer will come together in case Thailand want the war with Cambodia.

It is about our country, "Cambodia." The Khmer around the world, included the opposition parties will fight for our country.

To all Ki team and SRP company member and all Cambodian, shall we look to the future and visualize to see our Country Cambodia, do we have any hope or believe that Sam Rainsy will he be tough, strict, and discipline enough to lead us to victory?. So far was Mr. Sam Rainsy absolutely saying, acting and fighting for Khmer against Yourn and its slaves? Was he, Rainsy talk and act heart to heart to remove Hun Sen for the oppressing Khmer and absolutely willing to help to serve and die for Khmer? Now is time, for us clearly see, Rainsy he went to Viet border right at the time while Thai waging war to kill us he intentionally stop ah Yourn and ah kbot jeat Hun Xen from stealing our land.
MR. Sam Sarry left tone of money for Rainsy, he lived tope wealthy in Franc since he was very, very young, His father was highly educated and was doubted Kbot jeat by corrupters and low educated people, Japan kick this gangster out, Rainsy got good education, he use to be a finance mister 1993 to 1994 and we knew at that time was the worst of the year that Cambodia export to the maximum of logging, Rainsy he provided licent to cut the trees, and he Rainsy order million of passport that Hun Xen proclaimed out of date, the stupid can't used it, Hun Xen also claimed, He Rainsy appointed tax collectors with huge some of moneys in exchange for the positions, Now we clearly see Rainsy was badly, badly corrupt. But he so poor compare to a young nephew of ah Hun XeN! Can you see how corrupt ah Hun Xen and family are?

He, Rainsy lead mass demonstration in 1998, he lead hundreds more demonstration against abusive lawless Garment factories, 73 was closed within a years later, He call on international to stop direct donation to the corrupted hunger Cambodians government of ah Hun Xen. Now we all absolutely understand Sam Rainsy is trying to stop dirty trick of ah Xhmer from growing evil. Ah Yourn and its slaves make Khmer weaker, weaker, and weaker then they will create anarchy in our society for the people to hate each other, Ah Yourn are trying their best to make Khmer poorer, poorer and poorer.

Ah Kwack Hun Xen and thugs cheat a lot of money from us, it never enough for them, He Rainsy family will do everything possible to stopping the corrupting wealthy, and gain power to serve all Khmer, was Rainsy’s family are pure Khmer? Does he care about Khmer or money and power? Thousand of Khmer are much smarter than Rainsy why we need him, because Rainsy he’s really, really love Khmer. Why not we share ours Talent now, why wait, and is he alone strong enough to dealt with Viet-Yourn, if that why we cannot be separated as, Khmer ???. Let kick ah Yourn ah Siam choymaray, ok Mike.!

5:30pm, Bring it on fools! War over 7 stupid assholes??? I doubt that's going to happen. Khmer should use the same tactic like you savage Siam, "shoot within entry." Would you prefere that or have those idiots locked up? Better alive than dead, right?
