Border dispute lingers

Thai PM has swung into the Preah Vihear dispute and blasted the Cambodian media for printing 'unfounded' allegations concerning the Thai army, reports TNA at Mathaba.net.

Curiously the examples cited have not found their way into the coverage offered anywhere else in the global media.

Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra vigorously denied Cambodian reports that Thai troops had fatally shot a Cambodian national, and that the press was making up stories out of a desire for fame.

Mr. Thaksin insisted that the governors of the two provinces concerned – Si Sa Ket in Thailand and Preah Vihear in Cambodia – now come to an understanding, and that Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen be asked to help ensure the understanding of local people.
