Cambodian troops have removed and destroyed the controversial "Here! is Cambodia" sign on the disputed border near Preah Vihear.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva announced this morning that the sign, set in stone, had been removed.

Photographs later today confirmed the stone tablet had been shattered by Cambodian soldiers acting under orders.

"It's a good thing Cambodian authorities have cooperated with us," Mr Abhisit said.

Cambodia put the controversial stone tablet up after Thai soldiers withdrew from Kaew Sikha Khiri Sikha Sawara temple, on the disputed land around Preah Vihear, on Dec 1 last year.
