Vox Populi: Cambodia must take zero tolerance toward Thailand

Anonymous said...

Thailand make a wise decision by jumping without UNESCO having to vote Thailand out in the case of mis-behavior,UNESCO simply save million of dollars if Thailand withdrawn its membership from UNESCO,the heritage site in Thailand simply low grade and not worth of paying.

Thai PM Abhisit's statement admits there was damage to the temple. Cambodia has been the occupant of the temple, so if the Thais did not damage the temple, who did? Either the Cambodians shelled themselves or perhaps the mysterious men in black. It's appropriate to admit it, if you did something wrong, please accept the blame and get on with making things right.

Thailand should learn to know what is right and what is wrong and the threatening behavior of Thailand is unacceptable or simply threatening and intimidating is or a way of life of bandits whatever genetic Thais people process from their ancestors. This is a civilized world, it's simply not acceptable and the Thais have to accept it.

Abhisit said that only the next government can choose either to withdraw from Unesco or stay, so it looks like he is pulling a fast one here. By stating he pulls out, he makes himself the hero in the eyes of Thais for not bowing down to the International community. But, he shifts the responsibility to the next government to withdraw or stay.

If, let's say, Yingluck wins and she decides to stay, Abhisit could take that decision as a rally cry that she bows down to the international community and violates Thai territorial integrity by going along with Cambodia's plan.

He is taking credit but not the responsibility and could be setting things up for future political offensives here.

Thailand is entitled to withdraw its membership from UNESCO , but when the Thais want to re-apply for its membership with UNESCO, UNESCO has to ponder the Thai past threatening behavior and the spoiled brat attitudes.

The disorder and schizophrenia of the current Thai government is the mental illnesses from which about one fifth of our population suffers. Thailand's government disorders can be unreliable and exceedingly disruptive in the neighboring countries. In fact, common personality traits such as poor judgment, quick temper, incoherent thought and loss of motivation may be symptoms of a mental disorder.

The wisest thing to do, whenever we read or hear any claims from Thailand, is to try not to believe them immediately.

Recently, I have gone through a lots of Thai and Cambodian websites and very few will fit into my category as good journalism.

Credibility is everything. Retain your independence, be skeptical, not cynical. Don’t mortgage your integrity. It’s like virginity, once you lose it, you have lost it forever. Don't be the loyal member of any party or group.

Stop living for others, avoid temptation, life is not all about money. Let your reputation never be under question. It’s true, it’s possible to earn decently and live honourably as a journalist.

Work for fun and the satisfaction, the rewards will come on their own. Don’t fall for cheap praise and don’t be stalled by even cheaper criticism.

There’s nothing more boring and dreadful than goes through the same pangs and pangs as the other websites have done.

At least I praise Khmerization for not following the other websites' footstep, that open the opportunity for the Thais to attack Cambodia.

Thailand is doing this to avoid to pay for the compensation of the damages they caused to Preah Vihear temple.

Preah Vihear Temple was built by Khmer king. To claim for it by Thai government is just doesn't make sense for all any UN's bodies.

Cambodia should fight Thais in the ICJ, the UNESCO and in the battles for its breach of UNSC principles.

Cambodia should press on with the cases such as Thai troops shelling on the temples, using banned weapons; cluster bombs and poison gas on Cambodian troops and the cost of the war both in finance and human suffering .

We Khmer had enough with Thai nation in the last 400 years. We lost so much land to them. It's time we must take zero tolerant policy toward this nation.

The land surround the temple must be taken back for all cost.All Cambodian commanders and politicians should not rest from fighting if the land is still occupied by Thai troops.

We can live without Viet and Thai for a thousand years.

Remember, they burnt alive to kill our brothers and sisters last year. We all should feel those pain if we have to be a nation. They were our beloved brothers and sisters. They were a part of our flesh and our soul. We will not let this go without justice.
