Cambodia is reported to have raised a national flag over Wat Kaew Sikha Khiri Sawara, after earlier destroying a controversial sign - sparking a new controversy over the disputed border area.
The flag was reported to have been raised after the contentious stone tablet with a message that the area belongs to Cambodia was demolished on Wednesday to great fanfare.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, when asked about this matter, said: "If this is true, the flag must be removed."
He said it was agreed by both sides not to put up any sign showing ownership in a disputed area.
However, Mr Abhisit said he did not know whether and where the Cambodian flag had really been raised.
Asked whether what happened during the past few weeks can be raised at a meeting of the World Heritage Committee, the prime minister said:
"Of course, we will have to report problems to the World Heritage Committee to let it know that if it wants to proceed with the management of an area in dispute, tension and serious conflict would follow. This would contravene the objectives of having a world heritage site."
Preah Vihear temple has been declared a world heritage site under Cambodian management by Unesco. Thailand has opposed the decision arguing that there will be problems managing it as long as the dispute over the land immediately adjoining it remains unsettled.

STOP BLAIM OUR LEADERS THEY ARE MASTER THE ART OF WAR THAT YOU
CAN TRUTH
Warfare is the greatest affair of state, the basis of life and death, the way to survival or extinction. It must be thoroughly pondered and analyzed. therefore, structur it according to evaluate it comparatively through estimations, and seek out it true nature.
as you now knowing that our leader task is (Unity)couses people to fully in accord with the ruler, they will die with hime, they will live with hime, and not fear of danger, and as we all clearly see our leader in general he has encompasses wisdom, credibility, courage, strictness, and they do understand the law for military organization and military discipline very well.
As you have heard " The war Win or lose befor we ever fought" or another words " Evaluating the Enemy, subjugating the enemy's army without fighting is the true pinnacle of excellence" if you understand that then you will never going to blaim our leader for what stratergy he been used. The basic statergy in warfare are focuses upon manipulating the enemy, creat the opportunity for an easy victory, and then applying maximum power at the appropriate moment. Avoiding strong forces is not cowardice, but wisdom, for it it is self-defeating to fight when and where not advantag, like Sun Tzu the art of war" all of you should have one of this book" he said,One who knows when he can fight, and when he can not fight, will be victorious. One who know themself and know the enemy will not be endangered in a hundred engagements.
as we clearly see Initial estimations our gov't does are gain more advantage to the nation , wasn't it right?
The greatest military commander they all are always has frequently thought and identified solely with the commomt strategy " Deceit and Deception" the stratergy they will be using it in any warfare. warfare must be viewed as a mater of deception, of constanly creating false appearances, spreading disinformation, and employing trickery and deceit. when imaginatively created and effectively implemented, the enemy will neirther know where to attact nor what formations to employ, and will accordingly be condemed to making fatal errors. How Deception does it like this if the eneny got out number numerious of forces full of streng, we aviod them and wait until we creat chaos or weakness in enemy first. if the enemy united couse them to be sapareted, attack where they are unprepared.
go forth where they will not expect it, if we found ourself or estimated we are in advantages posistion destroy them.. these are the way military stratergists are victorious. they can not be spoken of in advance. as all of you have seen the USA lost ware not in veitnam but in Washinton DC, In direct batle US army power will seek to victory in evry cambat, but the press and the people in Washington they opposing war, they demonstrate and kept on put pressur on Gov't to withdraw the US troops from Vietnam. now you clearly see war win or lose is not about military power it about deception, using our braind, dosn't it?.
