Preah Vihear – A report from the border claimed that about 100 armed Thai troops entered Ta Moan temple last night. Also, the border situation in Preah Vihear is becoming tense again after Thailand sent reinforcement troops to the border area and demanded that Cambodia removes its flag from Wat Keo Sekha Kiri Svarak Pagoda.
A source indicated at 10AM on 28 Jan that Cambodian troops are on alert at Ta Moan and Ta Krabei temples in Oddar Meanchey province after Thailand sent additional troops to this region. The source added that during the evening of 27 Jan, at around 7-8 PM, about 100 armed Thai soldiers entered the perimeter of Ta Moan temple. These soldiers remained there for about 2 hours before they left after Cambodia insisted that they leave since their action is contrary to prior agreements.
Meanwhile, the situation in Preah Vihear temple is becoming tense again after Thai troops demanded that Cambodia removes its flag from Wat Keo Sekha Kiri Svarak Pagoda which belongs to Cambodia. However, Cambodia refused. The source claimed that up to now, there is no armed clash yet, but that both troops are on alert and are facing each other. Thailand also sent troops and large amount of weapons to the region which had problems in the past.

CAMBODIA, STOP BOWING DOWN TO THAILAND DEMANDS. Cambodia had already done enough to ease the tension with Thailand. It's not working. Enough is enough. Appeasement does not work when dealing with an aggressive neighbor like Thailand. This is a lesson Cambodia must always learn. Never ever trust your Thailand enemy. It will stab you in the back when the opportunity is given. Thailand is not interest in co-existence with Cambodia. It wants to make war with Cambodia. Cambodia must do whatever is necessary to stop Thailand aggression. As soon as Thai troops start advancing across that border, have no mercy for those S.O.B. Give them hell to remember.
Cambodia has been humiliated enough. We bowed down to Thai demands and threats twice in the last one week by removing the sign twice, which were built on Khmer soil. The area is a Cambodian territory, so no one, including the Thais, has any right to bully us and tell us what to do and not to do. Remember, a bully is always a bully if we allow IT to bully us. Thailand will always bully Cambodia if we let IT bully us. We have to learn to say no and I supported the government for saying no to the Thai demand that we remove the flag, which was flown over our territory. Just shoot the hell out of them if they invade the area again.
It is time to show Khmer tru color Hun Sen... Stand up or Shut Up..
