26 December 2008Thailand Outlook Channel
The former Foreign Minister has asked Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to express a clear opinion on whether his government will reclaim the rights over Preah Vihear Temple as suggested by the Democracts while still serving as the opposition party.
Former Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama said he is unhappy with the stance of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva over Preah Vihear Temple as his recent actions regarding the matter contradict what was promised when he served in the role of opposition leader.
Noppadon has disclosed that he assigned a representative to submit an open letter asking the Prime Minister to ensure whether his government would act on its policy to reclaim the country's rights over Preah Vihear Temple and its surrounding areas.
The Foreign Minister also urged Abhisit to clarify his approval of the L-7017 map while serving as PM's Office Minister in 1998.
Noppadon said Abhisit's approval was regarded as an approval of the borderline shown on the map, but Democrat later stated that it could not be used to determine the boundaries.
The matter will be also debated by two Pheu Thai Party's MPs Jatuporn Promphan and Chalerm Yoobumrung .
He also expressed concern regarding the conduct of new Foreign Minister Kasit Pirom particularly pointing to his remarks relating to leaders of neighboring countries.
Noppadon cited Kasit's comments about the Cambodian Prime Minister made on the rally stage of the People's Alliance for Democracy, saying they were disrespectful, and suggested Kasit readjust his outlook and think carefully before taking any further action.
The former Foreign Minister believes he will be cleared of the alleged violation of the Constitution's s Article 190 and 157 currently under investigation by the National Anti Corruption Commission.
