Thereafter, Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya announced that Thailand may tear up the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Thailand and Cambodia on the overlapping maritime territory between Thailand and Cambodia, as it was signed by the former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra in 2001, who may reveal relevant information to put Thailand at a disadvantage in future negotiations. After all, the overlapping maritime territory is known to be the home of a lot of oil and natural gas.
In addition, Deputy Secretary General to the Prime Minister Dr. Panitan Wattanayakorn echoed Foreign Minister Kasit that the move was necessary to protect the country's interests. Dr. Panitan's support of the decision put even more weight behind the move, eliminating many doubts Thais may have had about the decision.
Out of patriotism, I (M.R. Preediyathorn) initially supported the Government's decision.
