Bangkok Post recently, 16/09/2009, reported of 200 police deployed from Si Sa Ket and nearby provinces to the area near the Preah Vihear temple to deal with the planned rally by yellow-shirt demonstrators. And the policemen will join with the military force stationed in the area to prevent the demonstrators going into the claimed area by Thai of 4.6 square kilometres land along the Thai-Cambodia border.
Yet another strange is that ”The policemen [Thai] were ordered not to carry weapons and prohibited from using force to deal with yellow-shirts”. The prediction is that this is a new trick by Thai government, they used these yellows shirt and invading Cambodia at the same time just like last year in 2008 when the temple was awarded as World Heritage site by UNCESCO.
The yellow shirts, of People’s Alliance for Democracy, declared recently to gather on September 19 in Si Sa Ket to demand the Khmers to move out of the claimed area around the Hindu shrine. Is it possible to do so?
The PAD’s planned march has alarmed army chief Gen Anupong Paojinda. He is concerned that 
if any trekker were to be "captured" due to step on the deputed area by the Cambodian soldiers, the incident would set off a chain of reaction that could have far-reaching consequences on national security and bilateral relations.
Cambodian soldiers and villagers had constructed houses and shops there long before the Thai troops started to make a "counter-presence". Cambodian occupants had taken root in the area since 1999, whereas the Thai soldiers have only gone into the zone in July last year.
Cambodian defense ministry spokesman Chhum Socheat said at least 50 police with dogs, batons, and tear gas have been deployed at the temple ahead of the demonstration.
"Our anti-riot police have been deployed to the border Preah Vihear temple in case the Thai Yellow Shirt protesters illegally cross the border to cause problems," Chhum Socheat told AFP.
"We will order our forces to prevent them from entering. We don’t want bloodshed to happen, but if they don’t listen to us, we will use our self-defense measures," Socheat said.
Thai army should take measures to prevent the protesters from getting near the claimed area since they all, People’s Alliance for Democracy, might appear provocative to Cambodian troops.
The international court ruled the temple belonged to Cambodia more than 40 years ago, but border over areas around the temple has becoming worsen when Thai soldier was stepped to Cambodia’s territory last year.
