<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">January 31, 2011</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">By <b>Mark Hachman</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><b><i>PC Magazine</i></b></span><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Google and SayNow, a startup Google acquired last week, have teamed up to allow <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><b><i>tweeting by phone</i></b></span>, with an <b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">ear toward those on the ground in Egypt</span></i></b>. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Users can dial one of three phone numbers: <b><i>(650)419-4196, +390662207294, or +97316199855</i></b> to leave a voice mail message, which the SayNow voicemail servers will transcribe into a Twitter tweet, using the #Egypt hashtag. The idea is to <b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">allow those without Internet service, as in Egypt are, to be able to communicate</span></i></b>. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">People can also listen to the tweets by dialing the same numbers, Ujjwal Singh, cofounder of SayNow and AbdelKarim Mardini, a Google product manager for the Middle East and North Africa, wrote in a blog post. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"We hope that this will go some way to helping people in Egypt stay connected at this very difficult time," the two wrote. "Our thoughts are with everyone there."</div><a href="" name="more"></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Google quietly acquired SayNow last week, a company whose technology was one of the selling points of Soulja Boy's "Kiss Me Through the Phone," a 2008 hit that included the phone number (678) 999-8281, which connected to a SayNow server with voice mail and other message features. According to the company, Soulja Boy could also connect live to callers. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The SayNow technology was also used as part of a "wakeup call" sent to ESPN's 1.6 million Facebook fans. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Last Tuesday, company founders announced that the company had been acquired by Google for an undisclosed amount. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"We are thrilled to announce that we have been acquired by Google," co-founders Ujjwal Singh and Nikhyl Singhal wrote. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Since 2005, we've explored fun and entertaining ways for people to talk with each other. Through the web, smartphones, and even land lines, our products brought communities together through the power of voice. And as Google has some of the best voice products in the world, we believe combining forces with the Google Voice team will let us innovate in new and unexplored areas." </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The two SayNow co-founders declined to comment on the company's product plans.</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">The chief priest of a pagoda in Preah Vihear province was arrested on charges of spying for Thailand after writing down the license plate of an RCAF vehicle that witnesses claim <b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">held a confiscated Buddhist statue</span></i></b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Chuk Som, police chief of Choam Ksan district’s Kantuot commune, said today that Toeun Pheap, 33, was arrested after writing down plate numbers of RCAF tanks, personnel carriers and trucks that were stationed at the Svay Chrum pagoda.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sao Yath, representative for villagers in Svay Chrum village, said that at his request, <b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Toeun Pheap wrote down the number of the car that removed the Buddhist statue from the pagoda</span></i></b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">He said <b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">the provocation was related to the authority’s order to local villagers in early January to leave their houses</span></i></b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Many villagers in Svay Chrum refused orders to leave their property to make way for tourist and commercial development projects led by Preah Vihear National Authority</span></span></i></b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“It is just <b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">an accusation to put him in prison and force people to leave the village</span></i></b> after we refused their deadline to vacate,” Sao Yath says.</div><a href="" name="more"></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“We do not serve Thailand. We wrote down a license plate to file a complaint, but the authority is using this to accuse us of wrongdoing and pressure us to comply with their orders,” Sao Yath says.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A police officer who refused to be identified said today that tanks, personnel carriers and military trucks have been parked in Svay Chrum pagoda for two days.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">He said that officials from the province and military officers came with cars and trucks to remove the Buddhist statue from the pagoda.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Police chief of Preah Vihear province Mao Pov said the monk is being detained at the provincial police headquarters for questioning.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“General So Nal was accused of collecting the money from those who wanted to work with the police. He was released because he has agreed to return all the money to those who he collected it from,” he said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<blockquote><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">“Cambodia reserves its legitimate rights to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.”</span></b></blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">Cambodia says it will not remove its flag from a pagoda on a disputed piece of land near Preah Vihear temple, despite a request from Thailand.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Foreign Ministry said in a statement it would not comply with a request from Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to remove the flag from Wat Keo Siha Kiri Svara.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Both sides claim the land surrounding the pagoda, which was also at the center of a prolonged military standoff that began in July 2008 and only ended a few months ago.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Foreign Ministry called <b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">the “demand” for the removal of the flag “insulting”</span></i></b> and said <b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">recent Thai military exercises near the border were “clearly provocative.”</span></i></b></div><a href="" name="more"></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Cambodia reserves its legitimate rights to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the statement said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The latest row follows the removal of a controversial placard on the border purporting to mark the place where “Thai troops invaded Cambodia” in July 2008 and withdrew on Dec. 1, 2010. That sign has been replaced with one that says, “Here! Is Cambodia.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cambodia lays claim to the Keo Sikha Kiri Svara pagoda via turn of the century maps and conventions between France and Siam, the former name for Thailand. The pagoda was built by Cambodians in 1998 on land claimed by Cambodia. For its part, Thailand has said in the past it disputes the maps used by Cambodia and demarks the border according to its own surveys.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><b>Pich Samnang, VOA Khmer</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Phnom Penh Monday, 31 January 2011</span></span><blockquote>“They have their own capital, or can borrow more money from commercial banks.”</blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">One recent afternoon, farmer Hem Preoung was discussing what to do about a small wooden barn full of paddy rice with a group of other farmers.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The 62-year-old farmer is a member of the Preah Theat village farm association, in Kandal province’s Kandal Stung district. For the past five years, she has kept 15 kilograms of harvested paddy rice in the small barn as a kind of bank.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“In the past, we didn’t have enough to eat,” she said in an interview. “But now we save our paddy here to improve our standard of living. The more we save, the better paddy we’ll get.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Paddy rice, or unprocessed grain that which comes straight from the field, is a vexing question for Cambodia’s farmers and economic policymakers. Not only do farmers not earn as much as they can from it, but<b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"> the nation has so far been unable to capture and produce it for a high-value product</span></i></b>.</div><a href="" name="more"></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Along with 25 other families in the association, Hem Preoung earns about 20 percent interest on her paddy deposits once she decides to withdraw her grain from the bank. And there are five “paddy banks,” as they are called, in the district.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">She can borrow seeds from the bank for seed plant or to feed her family, paying 20 percent annual interest herself, avoiding high-interest loans or low-price sales through middlemen.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">That’s a change from the normal way of doing things for many farmers, who account for about 80 percent of Cambodia’s population. Typically, a glut of paddy is sold at low prices during harvest time, when farmers are also expected to pay back high-interest loans made during the growing season.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Chhay Meng, a program manager for Caritas Cambodia, who has helped farmer associations set up 17 paddy banks in Kandal province, said these innovations help prevent the whipsaw effect of middlemen and also regulate the flow of paddy to neighboring Thailand and Vietnam.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nationwide, there are thousands of paddy banks across 18 provinces, according to Cedac, a development NGO. The number is growing as Cambodia looks to produce an abundance or rice for export.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Still, an estimated 70 percent of Cambodia’s paddy surplus finds its way over the borders, according to the Economic Institute of Cambodia. That’s because Cambodia lacks the capital and capacity to buy up the surplus of its own farmers. That informal outflow costs the country millions of dollars in added value, such as the husks.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In its monthly economic outlook for January, the institute suggests the more formal adaptation of the paddy bank system as a means to solve the problem, helping the government reach its goal of greater exports. The government wants to see a million tons of milled rice exported by 2015. In the first 10 months of 2010, it managed less than 380,000 tons.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Noeu Seiha, the EIC’s research manager, said many NGOs are helping farmers set up paddy banks, but these small-scale projects cannot handle the surplus. More formal, larger banks are needed to handle the massive surplus from farms following the harvest, he said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“When farmers have an abundance of paddy rice, they don't have to hurriedly sell their grains,” he said. “They can deposit their paddies with these banks, and if they need money, they can borrow from the banks to pay their debts or for their own uses.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The government has plans an “open paddy market,” where farmers can deposit rice in a community storehouse and withdraw it for sale during months of high price, said San Vannty, an undersecretary of state for the Ministry of Agriculture.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The government also hopes to stake more capital with millers to help them absorb paddy from farmers, he said, but he declined to specify an amount.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But the government so far allocates only $36 million, just 10 percent of what’s needed, to buy up paddy surplus. About $20 million of that is provided as loans to rice millers, said Sun Kunthor, president of the Rural Development Bank.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“We just provide them some loans as an incentive to invest more in this field,” he said. “They have their own capital, or can borrow more money from commercial banks.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">For their part, rice millers say they need more capital to buy the paddy and more modern equipment and facilities to produce and store high-quality rice.</div><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">By <b>HANNAH ALLAM</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><b><i>McClatchy Newspapers</i></b></span><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">CAIRO -- In the fight to save his embattled regime from a popular revolt, U.S.-allied President Hosni Mubarak's administration has <b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">severed the phone and Internet, rounded up journalists, closed banks and dispatched riot police to beat back protesters</span></i></b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">On Monday the government <b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">halted all trains</span></i></b> throughout the country to <b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">prevent Egyptians in outlying provinces from joining throngs of protesters</span></i></b> in Cairo who are planning an audacious march on the presidential compound Tuesday.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As Mubarak resorts to a measure deemed extraordinary even by the standards of Middle East autocrats, demonstrators pledged to keep up their rebellion until the president steps down. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Each of you here today, bring three more tomorrow!" an activist yelled into a bullhorn in downtown Cairo's Tahrir square. "<b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">If you love Egypt, you will come!</span></i></b>"</div><a href="" name="more"></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mubarak reshuffled his Cabinet on Monday, keeping most of the old guard in palace, Omar Suleiman, the former intelligence chief who last week was named Mubarak's first ever vice president, told Egyptians in televised remarks that the government will conduct talks with opposition groups and take immediate steps to address unemployment and other economic concerns. Suleiman didn't mention other key issues such as emergency law, corruption or term limits for the president, who has been in power for 30 years.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The thousands of anti-government protesters in Cairo's Tahrir square immediately shouted down Mubarak's Cabinet appointments and focused on drumming up a million-strong crowd to march Tuesday to the presidential compound on the edge of the city.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Such a provocation leaves the Egyptian military in a bind. So far the army has cultivated its image as the protector of the Egyptian people, but blocking such a march would jeopardize its popularity. A senior defense ministry spokesman appeared on TV to reassure Egyptians that the military wouldn't turn against the people, a statement the opposition interpreted as a green light for Tuesday's risky trek to Mubarak's doorstep.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"The military respects the protesters' legitimate demands and has not and will not use force against them," Maj. Gen. Ismail Etman said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Your armed forces, who are aware of the legitimacy of your demands and are keen to assume their responsibility in protecting the nation and the citizens, affirms that freedom of expression through peaceful means is guaranteed to everybody," he said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mubarak's most notable appointment Monday was Mahmoud Wagdi, a retired police general, as the new interior minister. Wagdi replaces Habib el Adle, who is widely detested by Egyptians for the heavy handedness of his security forces. But there were few other new faces; most of the ministers were the same close Mubarak associates, including Defense Minister Field Marshal Hussain Tantawi and Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">When the news reached protesters in the square, there was laughter and incredulity. To many in the crowd, the reshuffling of the same men who ruled Egypt for three decades was a sham. The Mubarak era is over, they insisted, adding that they are prepared to force him out if he doesn't go in peace.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"He's like a cornered rat, trying to stay in power. He's trying everything, but people are just not buying it," said Hala Shukrallah, a longtime anti-government activist who joined the protest at the square. "He has no legitimacy, no credibility, so whatever solution he comes up with is refused."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Shukrallah, 55, a Coptic Christian, belongs to a Communist women's group. She marched alongside bearded clerics from the Muslim Brotherhood - young men and women who carried the Egyptian flag and ordinary families with children in tow. The atmosphere was carnival-like, but under the close watch of soldiers.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"It's amazing. It feels like all kinds of Egyptians are here, all ages all categories, said Dina el Kholy, 49, a member of an environmental organization.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">For now, Egyptian protesters are united in the common goal of Mubarak's ouster. If that can be achieved, however, opposition parties will begin jockeying to fill the power vacuum of a regime that once seemed immoveable. No one knows what kind of political order could emerge from this crisis - a chastened and reformed Mubarak administration, some sort of unity government representing the various opposition factions or leadership with Islamic leanings.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A loose coalition of opposition groups is conducting talks, activists said, and so far the only name put forth as a possible spokesman for the mass revolt is Nobel Peace laureate Mohammed ElBaradei, the former U.N. nuclear chief, whose return to his native Egypt galvanized fellow dissidents.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">ElBaradei has his own detractors, including many protesters who consider him aloof and unrepresentative of Egyptians because of his long tenure abroad. Others consider ElBaradei an acceptable interim figure if for no other reason than the lack of an alternative.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"We hope he can be looked at as a transitional figure," Shukrallah said. "I think he, and others perhaps in some non-partisan coalition, can keep this unification."</div></div></div>welcome vedioshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14300447879199062366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819583038596140040.post-14555920234237864012011-01-31T23:55:00.005-08:002011-01-31T23:55:34.733-08:00<h2 class="date-header">Tuesday, February 01, 2011</h2><div class="post"><a href="" name="7418833654894179028"></a><h3 class="post-title"><a href="http://ki-media.blogspot.com/2011/02/thailand-takes-stand-on-pagoda.html"><span style="font-size: large;">Thailand takes stand on pagoda</span></a> </h3><div class="post-header-line-1"></div><div class="post-body" id="post-7418833654894179028"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">February 1, 2011</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">By <b>SUPALAK GANJANAKHUNDEE</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><b><i>THE NATION</i></b></span><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Thailand yesterday officially demanded that Cambodia remove Keo Sikha Kiri Svara Pagoda and the Cambodian flag flying over the structure from the disputed border area around Preah Vihear Temple, while reaffirming its vow to resolve boundary issues through "peaceful means".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Foreign Ministry issued a statement maintaining its claim that the Buddhist pagoda <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">erected by Cambodia in 1998</span></i></b></span> "is situated on Thai territory".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The statement was issued days after Phnom Penh rejected Bangkok's request to take down the Cambodian flag from the pagoda. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Phnom Penh insisted last Friday that it had the legitimate right to fly its flag over the pagoda, which it claimed was on its territory.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The area of 4.6 square kilometres adjacent to Preah Vihear has not yet been demarcated because of the overlapping ownership claims.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The area was delimited in line with the Franco- Siamese treaties of 1904 and 1907. Cambodia claims that the Franco- Siamese joint commission produced a series of maps from 1905-08 to indicate that the area in question is Cambodian territory.</div><a href="" name="more"></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thailand, in the statement yesterday, said it did not accept the France-made 1:200,000-scale map to determine the boundary line. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cambodia argues that the International Court of Justice, when it ruled on the Preah Vihear case in 1962, used the map as a basic document to make the judgement, which says "the temple of Preah Vihear is situated in territory under sovereignty of Cambodia". </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Phnom Penh said the memorandum of understanding on land-boundary demarcation signed by Thailand and Cambodia in 2000 also recognised the French map as the legal basis for boundary surveys and demarcation. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The border conflict has become a thorn in the side of the Abhisit Vejjajiva administration after the yellow-shirt People's Alliance for Democracy raised awareness of the issue among the public. The PAD accuses the government of ceding Thai territory to Cambodia ever since the MoU signed in 2000, during the Democrat Party-led administration under Chuan Leekpai, recognised the French map.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">They called on the government to scrap the pact and use force to evict the Cambodian community from the area, along with the pagoda. Hundreds of PAD supporters and one of its splinter groups, the Thai Patriots Network, are camping out in protest around Government House. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thai Patriots Network member Samdin Lertbutr yesterday sued Abhisit, Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban, Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwan and Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya for alleged criminal misconduct in causing the loss of territory.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Thai Patriots Network has insisted that it has proof that the property belongs to Thailand.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Abhisit urged the protesters to share their information on the boundary with the government, rather than protesting and trying to force him to follow their way.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"We have the same goal to protect the national interest. I wonder why we don't share the information. We have a different stance because we have different information," he said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The yellow-shirt demonstration as well as news of the deployment of heavy military hardware to border areas has exacerbated tensions in the relations of the two countries.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cambodia boosted troops in the border area near Preah Vihear after a report that the Thai military would hold an exercise.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"They [Thai troops] are doing manoeuvres and we are also doing them - that is why we need to send tanks and other weapons to the border," Cambodian Military Division 3 Commander Srey Doek was quoted as saying by the Phnom Penh Post. "Our armed forces are on alert."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Abhisit said he did not want to wage any war with Cambodia. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"The two countries retain their same old stance on the issue to protect their respective rights but both sides insist on settling the problem by peaceful means through negotiation," he said. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Foreign Ministry in its statement said Thailand was committed to resolving all boundary issues with Cambodia in accordance with international law through peaceful means under the framework of the Thai-Cambodian Joint Commission on Demarcation for Land Boundary (JBC). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The determination of the boundary line in the area of Preah Vihear Temple is still subject to ongoing talks under the framework of the JBC, it said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Abhisit's government also needs to provide assistance to release nationalist Veera Somkwamkid and his aide Ratree Pipatanapaiboon, who go on trial today in Phnom Penh. They have been detained on the charge of espionage.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The two, together with five other activists who have already been convicted and released, were arrested on December 29 while inspecting the disputed border area near Sa Kaew's Ban Nong Chan. Their colleagues from the Thai Patriots Network, who are to be in Phnom Penh today, want to ask the court to delay the decision, as they will submit more evidence to prove that the two Thais were arrested on Thai soil. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The neighbourhood in Sa Kaew is also in a grey area but Thai authorities said that in this case the yellow shirts had strayed too far beyond the frontier line claimed by Thailand.</div><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><b><i>Bangkok Post</i></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: xx-small;"><b><i>EDITORIAL</i></b></span><br />
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">Cambodian authorities are being unhelpful or even provocative by extending the issue of their national flag in a disputed border region. The attempt by Phnom Penh's foreign ministry to turn the issue back on the Thai government is a rather cheap ploy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is unresponsive to the elementary and understandable request by Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva for Cambodian authorities to remove national standards from a border region that is legally disputed and politically tense.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">From the government's statements so far, it appears that a temple is at the heart of the flag issue. The Keo Sikha Kiri Svara pagoda was built more than a decade ago. It predates the controversial memorandum of understanding which is a flashpoint at the yellow shirt rallies. It also is older than the contentious 2001 application by Cambodia for Unesco to list Preah Vihear Temple as a World Heritage Site.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There is a rather insubstantial wooden arch at the end of the temple grounds, above which are two Buddhist flags, and a Cambodian standard. Another flag is painted onto the entranceway.</div><a href="" name="more"></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">For years, authorities have either ignored or been unaware of the Cambodian flags. Conveniently, Mr Abhisit has just learned the temple was flying the Cambodian flag. The revelation came immediately after last week's issue of the stone tablet proclaiming "Here! is Cambodia" and complaining of "Thai invasion".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mr Abhisit is certainly right that these bits of Cambodian nationalism are completely out of place. There is no excuse for provocative displays anywhere near the 4.6 sqkm territory claimed by both countries.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is interesting, however, that the issue of these flags and tablet arose just as three anti-government groups began street rallies. The yellow-shirted People's Alliance for Democracy, its offshoot the Thai Patriots Network and the Santi Asoke sect continued to maintain semi-independence. They are united against the Thai foreign policy towards Cambodia.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is, indeed, national policy. The disputatious MoU dates back to the Chuan Leekpai government in 2000. Various negotiations and agreements have continued through every government. But the protesters blocking public thoroughfares around Government House believe the policy will result in ceding Thai territory.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mr Abhisit knows it will not. Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya, once a firebrand speaker at PAD rallies, knows this, and so does the rational Thai public.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The stone tablet and the flags have given Mr Abhisit a chance to show strength in standing up to the Cambodian government. Without altering agreements and treaties, the prime minister has still been able to show considerable gumption in his demands that Cambodia smash the tablet and, now, remove the flags.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cambodian forces smashed the offensive stone tablet after Thai complaints. That gesture deserved, and got, credit.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But now Cambodia's foreign ministry has considered Mr Abhisit's demand to haul down the flags, and the answer is hardly serious. Mr Abhisit (the Cambodian officials say) is conducting military exercises and making demands that are provocative. Translation: Mr Abhisit is right but sometimes we have to appear tough, too.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is a problem that Cambodian flags fly at or near disputed territory and they should come down. Mr Abhisit, however, likely could achieve the desired result through diplomatic channels rather than the media. Relations with neighbours are too important to be affected by street rallies.</div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">1/02/2011</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><b><i>Bangkok Post</i></b></span><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">The Thai government has renewed its demand for Phnom Penh to remove a Cambodian national flag flying over a temple on disputed land near the border, and is also now pressing for the temple itself to be dismantled.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The demand was included in a statement issued Monday by the Foreign Affairs Ministry amid reports of troop build-ups by both countries along the border.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Thailand maintains that the 'Keo Sikha Kiri Svara' pagoda is situated on Thai territory, and demands that Cambodia remove both the pagoda and the Cambodian flag flying over the pagoda," the ministry said in its statement.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on Sunday came out to assert Thailand's sovereignty over the 4.6 square kilometres of land on which the ancient Hindu temple of Preah Vihear is situated.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The statement prompted a fierce response from Phnom Penh, which <b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">labelled the demand as "insulting and unacceptable"</span></span></i></b>.</div><a href="" name="more"></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Both Thailand and Cambodia claim ownership of the border area.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Foreign Ministry said Monday Bangkok was ready to settle the disputed border line through peaceful negotiations. However it would not accept Phnom Penh's assertion that the 1:200,000-scale map used by Cambodia forms the basis for determining the boundary.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile, the Phnom Penh municipal court will continue its trial today of two Thais arrested by Cambodian soldiers on Dec 29 for alleged illegal entry into Cambodia and espionage.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Foreign Ministry spokesman Thani Thongpakdee said the Phnom Penh court would continue hearing the case against Thai Patriots Network coordinator Veera Somkhwamkid and Ratree Pipatanapaiboon at about 7am. He did not know if the court would hand down a verdict right away.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A co-leader of the Thai Patriots Network, Chaiwat Sinsuwong, said yesterday the two Thais would insist they had been arrested on Thai territory.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">He said he had a document from the Foreign Ministry showing that the ministry agreed with Cambodia on the coordinates where Mr Veera, Ms Ratree and five other Thais were arrested.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The document gave Cambodia the edge in its legal action against the Thais, he said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Prime Minister Abhisit said yesterday the government tried to have Ms Ratree returned to Thailand at the same time as five other Thais on Jan23, but she chose to defend herself in a different way to her compatriots. Ms Ratree is the secretary of Mr Veera.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mr Abhisit also said he was concerned that negative remarks by People's Alliance for Democracy figures about Cambodia could affect assistance for Mr Veera and Ms Ratree.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">PAD supporters Samdin Lertbutr and Tainae Mungmajon, who were arrested with Mr Veera and Ms Ratree, filed a lawsuit with the Criminal Court yesterday accusing the prime minister, his deputy Suthep Thaugsuban, Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya and Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon of malfeasance and of taking actions that might cause the loss of Thai territory.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The lawsuit states armed Cambodian troops arrested their group of seven Thais on Thai territory in Ban Nong Jan of Khok Sung district, Sa Kaeo, on Dec 29.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mr Abhisit, Mr Suthep, Mr Kasit and Gen Prawit took no action against Cambodia at the time and told the media the group had travelled a kilometre into Cambodian territory.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The ministers also allowed the Cambodian court judge to convict the seven as illegal immigrants, which was tantamount to accepting Cambodian sovereignty over the area in Ban Nong Jan, the two men told the court in their application.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Criminal Court will hold a preliminary examination of the case on May21.</div><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The border dispute with Cambodia is driving a wedge between Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and military leaders.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mr Abhisit is demanding that Cambodia remove all national flags from Wat Kaew Sikha Khiri Sawara.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The prime minister considers the 4.6-square-kilometre area near Preah Vihear temple, on which Wat Kaew Sikha Khiri Sawara stands, to be part of Thailand.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Military leaders believe Cambodia's earlier agreement to remove two stone tablets at Wat Kaew Sikha Khiri Sawara which carried claims of ownership of the area should be taken into consideration by Mr Abhisit.</div><a href="" name="more"></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The first tablet labelled Thai troops who had been stationed in the zone as "invaders", while the second was engraved with the statement: "Here! is Cambodia".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Cambodian government agreed to remove both.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mr Abhisit's latest demands are akin to "unrelenting" pressure on the Cambodian government, Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon said yesterday.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">He said the flags issue was "trivial".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"The temple put up the Cambodian national flags [not the government]," Gen Prawit said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Cambodia has already agreed to destroy the marble tablets at Wat Kaew [Sikha Khiri Sawara]. <b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">What else does [Mr Abhisit] want from them?</span></i></b>" </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The defence minister asked the media to avoid presenting reports that could lead to conflict between the two countries. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">He also urged political groups not to exploit international affairs for their own gain.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">An army source said Thai military leaders were unhappy with Mr Abhisit for making such demands without asking for information from the armed forces.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"<b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">[Mr Abhisit] seems to want to ease political pressure [at home] at the same time as building up his image to look stronger than his Cambodian counterpart, Hun Sen</span></i></b>," the source said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"However, those who are placed in difficult situations are us [soldiers]."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The source, who is stationed near the disputed area, said <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">local army officers had not yet told the Cambodian soldiers to remove the national flags from the temple</span></i></b></span>, although they have inquired about who erected them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Lt Gen Thawatchai Samutsakhon, the commander of the 2nd Army in charge of the eastern provinces bordering Cambodia and one of army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha's close friends, said the prime minister might have his own reasons for his displeasure over the Cambodian flags, but insisting that they be removed would meet opposition.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Cambodia is not a 'child' that we can order to do whatever we want,</span></i></b></span>" Lt Gen Thawatchai said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Moreover, we just demanded that they [Cambodia soldiers] destroy the tablets, which they agreed to do."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Tensions along the eastern border have risen since the stone tablets at Wat Kaew Sikha Khiri Sawara were erected.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Thai army has mobilised troops and heavy war weapons along the border in Kantharalak district of Si Sa Ket province, although it claims this was part of regular military training. The Cambodian military responded by mobilising troops, armoured vehicles and rocket launchers to reinforce its outposts.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The tension led to a visit to the disputed area last Friday by Hun Sen's 33-year-old son, Brig Gen Hun Manet, in a bid to map out battle strategies for the Cambodian military.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Gen Prawit is playing down the reinforcement of troops by the two countries.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"We [Thai soldiers] are ready to fight to protect our land, but don't worry: The relationship between the Thai and Cambodian military is still on good terms," he said.</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Military commanders from Cambodia and Thailand held meetings along the border today in a bid to defuse a spike in military tensions, a military official said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In recent days, Cambodia has deployed infantry, tanks and heavy artillery along the Thai border in response to a demand from Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva that Cambodian flags be removed from Wat Keo Sekha Kirisvara, a pagoda close to Preah Vihear.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A Royal Cambodian Armed Forces official based at Preah Vihear, who declined to be named, said today that military commanders based at Phnom Trop and Ta Thav met to affirm their positions and damp down tensions.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“The situation is fragile, as troops from both sides are on alert,” he said, adding: “We have reinforced our troops only for defending our territory.”</div><a href="" name="more"></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The official said that during the talks, Thai commanders asked why Cambodia had moved troops into border areas.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Cambodian commanders said the movements were in response to Abhisit’s demands for the removal of the flags, as well as the apparent Thai plans to hold military exercises close to the border.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“We will not allow them to enter Cambodian soil to remove the flags,” the official said. “Thailand has added troops and heavy weapons along the border and we have acted in kind.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Srey Doek, military commander of RCAF Military Division 3 based at Preah Vihear, declined to comment.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thai Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon said today that the fresh deployments of Cambodian troops and armour in border areas adjoining Sisaket province were no cause for worry, the Bangkok Post reported.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“I believe there are no serious problems on the Thai-Cambodian border,” Prawit said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“The Foreign Ministry should be able settle the dispute through talks.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The military talks come a day ahead of the trial at Phnom Penh Municipal Court of Veera Somkwamkid, a high-profile Thai Yellow Shirt activist, and his secretary Ratree Taiputana Taiboon.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The pair were part of a group of seven Thais who were arrested for trespassing on Cambodian territory in Banteay Meanchey province on December 29.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The group reportedly travelled to the border to “investigate” the demarcation of the countries’ shared border.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Information Minister Khieu Kanharith, who met with Yellow Shirt representatives today in Phnom Penh, confirmed that Veera will face court today.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">By <i><b>DAILY MAIL</b> REPORTER (UK)</i></span><br />
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">Three top Khmer Rouge leaders made a joint appearance before a UN-backed war crimes court today to seek release from custody as they await trial for genocide.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">'Brother Number Two' Nuon Chea and ex-social affairs minister Ieng Thirith looked frail as they sat in the courtroom with former head of state Khieu Samphan.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are strong concerns that not all of the defendants, who are aged between 78 and 85, will live to see a verdict.</div><a href="" name="more"></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">They are accused of war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and other charges under Cambodian laws in connection with the deaths of up to two million people between 1975 and 1979 as a result of starvation, overwork and execution.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Lawyers called for their 'immediate release', claiming their detention was illegal because they had not been brought to trial four months after their indictments were issued.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Jasper Pauw, defending, said 'there are no conceivable reasons to keep Nuon Chea in custody'.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A pale Ieng Thirith, described as the 'First Lady' of the Khmer Rouge, left the courtroom as soon as proceedings began and waived her right to attend the hearing.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nuon Chea - who wore sunglasses to protect his eyes from the light - suffered a dizzy spell and was sent to the court's detention facility on medical advice.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fellow accused Ieng Sary, the regime's foreign minister, did not attend the hearing. His lawyers claim he was too ill to spend full days in court.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">All four defendants have been detained since they were arrested in 2007.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Prosecutors dismissed the call for their release and said they could try to escape the country or exert pressure on witnesses if freed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Andrew Cayley, prosecuting, said: 'The passage of time has not diminished the impact of these crimes.'</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A ruling on the request will be made in mid-February, but they are unlikely to be freed because of the uproar it would cause in Cambodia.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Chab Chhean, 60, who lost 12 relatives under the regime, said outside court: 'The court must not release them because they abused the people so much.'</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The trial, the tribunal's second, is due to start in the next five months and is expected to be lengthy as all four leaders dispute the charges against them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It follows the landmark conviction in July of former Tuol Sleng prison chief Kaing Guek Eav, known as Duch, for war crimes and crimes against humanity for his role in the deaths of around 15,000 men, women and children.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The court, which does not have the power to impose the death penalty, handed Duch a 30-year jail term - but he could walk free in 19 years because of time already served.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Both Duch, 68, and the prosecution have appealed against the sentence.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Led by 'Brother Number One' Pol Pott, who died in 1998, the Marxist Khmer Rouge regime emptied entire cities in the late 1970s in a bid to create an agrarian utopia.</div><br />
