Google's irresponsibility

By Anonymous

To say that Google does not guarantee the accuracy of its map content is totally irresponsible. If they are international law abiding company, they should have at least follow the legal UN map of Cambodia, not a Thai unilateral map drawn up by Thailand. By using inaccurate map shows that they are taking sides. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse. Correction must be made immediately if Google is an honest company.

As far as the Thai accomplice, they are wrong if they think that they can use google map for their advantage in future land claims over Cambodia. We Khmer did it once in 1962 and we will continue to do it again when necessary to protect our beloved homeland from naked aggression.

Here is a site of Google Cambodia map: (Please zoom [+] to see the following areas)

http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=11.55,104.916667&spn=10,10&t=h&q=11.55,104.916667

NOTES:

1. Pay special attention to Prasat Preah Vihear area (4.6 km2 Khmer land is completely in the Thai side, not reflecting the world court decision on June 15, 1962).

2. Poipet area (Cambodian visa office, Angkor Wat entry gate and some casinos are now shown in the Thai side, the actual border is at the bridge and O'Chrov river near Rong Gleua market).

3. Prasat Ta moan area (showing at least 2 temples of the 3 temple-complex on the Thai side).

4. Kampot/Takeo-Vietnam border at Prek Krobao area (border now is west of the canal, which used to be the canal itself).

Other areas will be examined as well.

Based on these maps, it is undoubtedly that the Thai governement conspired with Google to have the incorrect online map in Thailand's favor. The Royal Government of Cambodia must demand correction per the internationally recognized map of Cambodia from Google. The Thai government should be condemned by the world community for its dishonesty and ill-will intention of aggression over Cambodian land.
