The oil belongs to us, not a cabal of cronies
After his lecture on Cambodia's economic future in Phnom Penh on Saturday, Thaksin Shinawatra has been looked at as trying to flatter Cambodians to gain benefit from them, according to a report by VOA Khmer: www.voanews.com/khmer-english/news/Infrastructu
It is obvious that not all Cambodians are happy under Hun Sen's rule; and that Thaksin's latest visit to the country has raised concerns about his intention to reap profit on the back of good relations between Thailand and Cambodia - especially the development of petroleum resources on the overlapping areas off the coast.
Thais should be as aware as Cambodians that every drop of oil in the Gulf belongs to them and posterity - not to any group of people to pilfer.
