Abishit looking for Thai support in his attempt to steal Khmer temple?

[Thai] PM Abhisit urges Thais to support government on ancient temple

BANGKOK, August 1 (MCOT online news) - Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on Sunday urged Thais to support his government in making a detailed study of the disputed Preah Vihear temple to show the UN cultural body.

Thanking the public for its display of love for Thai sovereignty which he said led UNESCO’s World Heritage Commission (WHC) to postpone adopting the Cambodian plan to manage Preah Vihear, Mr Abhisit said during his weekly TV and radio address that his government would work hard during the next year to protest Cambodian actions.

Mr Abhisit invited Thais to join in studying the issue with his government and convey their findings to UNESCO and heritage committee members.

The WHC agreed Thursday to postpone adopting the Khmer plan to manage the temple until next year when it meets in Bahrain after Thailand threatened to review its membership and many Thais rallied at the UNESCO Bangkok office.
