Opinion by M Johnson, Bangkok

Dear Sir:
Regarding “PAD acting like a cry baby: Kasit” (January 27, 2011) Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya criticises his former allies the PAD yellow shirts for their calling for a tougher line by the government on the Preah Vihear border dispute with Cambodia and claims that he hasn’t changed his position since the time before he became a minister. He also says it is “inappropriate to invoke international relations as a bargaining leverage to advance a domestic political agenda”. He also calls for common development of “rich resources in the sea,” presumably referring to oil and gas deals.
Actually, your story is an example of the reason why the PAD has been criticising Mr Kasit and the Abhisit government.
Mr Kasit says that he has not changed and that “The Abhisit Vejjajiva government is not prone to use force nor to insult the neighbouring country” but in 2009, he himself was quoted as calling Hun Sen “a nakleng.” In 2008, he was quoted as calling him a “thug” on the rally stage of the PAD.
