According to Bangkok Post online, the National People's Assembly of Thailand has filed the complaint to National Anti-Corruption Commission on Thursday, leaving the latter to decide whether the prime minister neglected his duty as he failed to identify Thailand's marine boundary to the Cambodian government, which is drawing up an agreement with a French company on oil drilling in its offshore block 3 in the Gulf of Thailand, an disputed area.
The accusation followed a letter by the group on July 30, which was forwarded to the prime minister through the Government House complaints center by Chaiwat Sinsuwong, the assembly Secretary-General, and Admiral Bannawit Kengrian, chairman of the assembly's committee for monitoring the use of state power.
In the letter they urged the government to act against the agreement being made between the Cambodian government and the French oil company Total.
Bannawit had said after the letter that the assembly also submitted a protest letter to the French embassy in Bangkok. He said the French ambassador admitted the area was under dispute.
He had warned at that time that Abhisit would be charged with neglect of duty if he failed to act on this matter in seven days.
Phnom Penh is reported to be drawing up an agreement to give Total rights to look for oil in its offshore block 3 in the Gulf of Thailand. And a provisional agreement was reached in mid-July when Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen was in Paris, according to Bangkok Post online.

There it is, Thailand is on a move to stall and block Cambodia's path." We must not let Cambodia have anything, because having anything for Cambodia is a threat to Thailand's wealth." Said Secretary-General and Admiral Bannawit Kengrian. Haaahaaha.. Thailand is very laughable.
Cambodian government must fight hard to get what is ours- borders and sea.
