The parliament on Monday postponed discussion on three agreed minutes of Thai-Camobida joint boundary commission to Wednesday as many opposition MPs are queuing to grill the government over the issue.
The parliament opened the session as planned on Monday but the session could not continue in the afternoon as many MPs wanted to join the debate and the Senate is scheduled to use the floor.
Defense Minister General Pravit Wongsuwan could not provide sufficient and clear information when an opposition MP questioned about Cambodia's construction of roads in the Thai-Cambodia disputed area.
The parliament president Chai Chidchob decided to postpone the session to Wednesday to allow the minister to prepare more information and many members to have chances to debate in detail.
