No proper reply was provided to opposition MPs who demanded that the government provides the exact location of border posts no. 184, 185, 186 and 187, all of which are located in Samrong commune, Chantrea district, Svay Rieng province. Instead, the Council of Ministers provided a terse attack on those who questioned the government.

In a letter sent to Heng Xamrin dated 24 February, Xok An, the minister in charge of the Council of Ministers, indicated that, for this case, the government provided clarifications both in writing and verbally to the National Assembly, as well as through various information, and in particular, the government sent sVar Kim Hong to clarify the National Assembly on 24 December 2009.

Based on the facts above, Xok An said that even if the government tried to explain several times already, the SRP MPs act as if they did not know, did not hear and they continue to dwell on the same subject. This annoys the work of the government which is busy in resolving problems with neighboring countries.
