Hun Sen visit helps Thai land case — PM

Khmer leader’s actions support border claims

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen’s border visit will help Thailand press its case for ownership of disputed areas along the border, Abhisit Vejjajiva says.

Hun Sen’s remarks and actions during his three-day tour would be sent to Unesco’s World Heritage Committee to back Thailand’s claim to the disputed land, the prime minister said yesterday.

The area adjacent to Preah Vihear temple belongs to Thailand, he said. Hun Sen had tacitly acknowledged it was not Cambodian property, which helped Thailand’s case.

Mr Abhisit also insisted that Thai troops would not be withdrawn from the Ta Muan Thom temple in Surin during Hun Sen’s visit today as requested by the Cambodia premier.

Hun Sen has been touring the Thai-Cambodia border, including disputed areas.

The World Heritage Committee meets in the middle of this year to consider Cambodia’s application to list Preah Vihear temple and the adjacent areas claimed by both countries as a World Heritage site.

The International Court of Justice ruled in 1962 that the 11th-century Hindu temple belongs to Cambodia, but Thailand insists a 4.6 sq km tract of scrub near the temple is Thai territory.

Demarcation of the border remains unresolved and sporadic clashes have occurred between troops from the two countries.

Government spokesman Panitan Wattanayakorn said the Cambodian prime minister had accepted Thailand’s demand to send its representatives to join him during his visit to the disputed areas.

He said Hun Sen had followed international principle and agreements on disputed areas, whereby each side would send its representatives to join the other side whenever it enters a disputed area.

‘‘This mean Cambodia accepts that the area surrounding Preah Vihear does not belong to Cambodia,’’ Mr Panitan said.

Hun Sen visits Ta Muen Thom temple today. Mr Abhisit said Thai authorities would greet him there because it is Thai territory.

He turned down Hun Sen’s demand that Thai troops withdraw from the area for his visit.

Mr Abhisit said Hun Sen’s tour of the border was motivated by political interests in Cambodia and the World Heritage decision on Preah Vihear temple.

Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministry yesterday welcomed Hun Sen and confirmed that his visit would not affect legal claims over Thai territory.

‘‘The government has no objections if the Cambodian prime minister wishes to enter Thai territory,’’ it said in a statement.

‘‘However, the Cambodian side must first inform and request prior permission from the government.’’

Thailand will then send a representative to welcome him.

Hun Sen was near the Chong Bok border pass in Ubon Ratchathani yesterday but had his subordinates meet Thai authorities at the border.

The Cambodian prime minister was at the bottom of the mountain which forms the border between Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. He was there to open a road which is part of a project to develop the Emerald Triangle. The road stretches from the heart of Chom Krasan district in Cambodia’s Preah Vihear province.

In Surin, soldiers of both sides agreed yesterday they would remain in their camps when Hun Sen arrives near Ta Muen Thom temple today.

Col Adul Boonthamcharoen, commander of the 26th pararanger military regiment from the Suranaree Task Force, met Veera Somkwamkid, a leader of the anti-Thaksin Shinawatra People’s Alliance for Democracy, and asked his group not to cause trouble today during Hun Sen’s visit. Mr Veera led about 150 protesters to Ta Muan Thom temple.

The PAD opposes Hun Sen’s visit.

People's army idea goes nowhere

When we first heard the news of the formation of a "people's army" to fight against the present government and its military supporters, it sounded like it was the idea of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra himself. Now, it appears it was more likely the idea of some overenthusiastic supporters.

overenthusiastic – too interested in something or too excited by it

Chavalit rejects calls for a ‘people’s army’

POST REPORTERS

cy2Puea Thai Party chairman Chavalit Yongchaiyudh has rejected an offer from party member Panlop Pinmanee and army specialist Khattiya Sawasdipol to head ‘‘a people’s army’’.

Gen Panlop, Maj Gen Khattiya and a group of Puea Thai members travelled to Dubai on Monday to visit former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

Gen Panlop said afterward Thaksin’s supporters had agreed to set up ‘‘a national people’s army for democracy’’ made up of people unhappy with injustice, the lack of democracy and double standards.

They had chosen Gen Chavalit to be the supreme commander of the ‘‘people’s army’’. But Gen Chavalit yesterday rejected the offer, saying the army would be impossible to achieve and he favoured a peaceful approach to fighting society’s injustices.

The ‘‘people’s army’’ was seen as a bargaining chip to force the government to the negotiating table ahead of a key court decision on the Thaksin assets case on Feb 26. Maj Gen Khattiya said the government had until the end of the month to hold talks with Thaksin. If there was no progress, nobody could stop the ‘‘people’s army’’, he said.

However, after returning from Dubai, Gen Panlop admitted yesterday he had not been careful in his choice of words when talking about the issue.

He said the red shirts usually described themselves as a people’s army.
The idea of a ‘‘people’s army’’ was greeted with derision from key members of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship.

Jatuporn Prompan said Gen Panlop and Maj Gen Khattiya had only expressed their personal views. They did not represent the views of the red shirt movement.

He said the generals were not members of the UDD and the group stood by its use of peaceful means. It had never condoned violence.

The UDD had never planned to set up such an army, Mr Jatuporn said.

Chaturon Chaisaeng, a former acting leader of the now disbanded People Power Party, also rejected the idea of a people’s army as he did not think it had the potency to achieve political aims.

‘‘It is an idea from those who have no experience in fighting for democracy,’’ Mr Chaturon said.

Democrat Party spokesman Buranaj Smutharaks said the setting up of a people’s army was intended as a bargaining chip. Such an army would never materialise and would be rejected by the public.

Attention required

Anyone who has kids in schools knows they have their own society with their own fashions and fads. Most are harmless, but in a few cases, they can be very dangerous. That's why parents and teachers have to pay attention. Here is an example.

Kids in school overdose scare

80 students fall ill, rushed to hospital

POST REPORTERS

Abuse of over-the-counter cough suppressants at a Bangkok school is raising concerns about public education on drug use and the effectiveness of controls on drug sales by pharmacies.

About 80 students, most of them in Prathom 4 and 5 (Grade 4 and 5), at Wat Tha Phra school in Bangkok Yai district were rushed to three nearby hospitals yesterday after suffering drug intoxication symptoms such as nausea, irregular heartbeat and severe headache.

They were found to have swallowed vast quantities of small yellow pills which were identified later as cough relief tablets containing dextromethorphan.

Twelve who were sent to Taksin Hospital were in serious condition and had their stomachs pumped. Most of the students were in a stable condition and were discharged.

The students believed the tablets, which they bought for one baht each, had a wide range of properties — from smoothening the skin to making them smart to getting them high.

Taksin Hospital director Kittiya Srilertfa said initial tests showed the children had taken a cough suppressant which could have effects on the nervous system if more than the recommended amounts are taken.

School deputy director Benjamas Rodsutthi said the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration school was alerted to the drug abuse in the morning by a parent.

‘‘We made an announcement right away, telling the students not to take the drugs,’’ Ms Benjamas said.

‘‘But it was too late. Shortly after that the students fell sick.’’

Ms Benjamas said an initial investigation found the drug was introduced by a student in Prathom 6 who claimed to have bought the pills from a games shop near the school.

The substance is known to produce euphoric effects and hallucinations similar to those of controlled substances such as ketamine when consumed in amounts exceeding maximum doses.

Food and Drug Administration deputy secretary-general Viravan Taengkaew said even though dextromethorphan was not classified as an abusive substance it could have deadly effects if more than the recommended dosage was consumed.

She said that those who sell the medicine without permission would face criminal charges.

Malinee Sukavejworakit, Bangkok deputy governor for public health, said City Hall had asked schools under its jurisdiction to keep a close watch on drug abuse. She said the BMA would file a report with the Education Ministry so precautionary steps could be taken.

Jiraporn Limpananont, chairwoman of the Foundation for Consumers, said the incident reflected flaws in Thailand’s public education on drug use as well as drug distribution and control systems.

The state has not educated consumers well enough on drug use, especially on overdoses, she said. Even though drug use was part of the primary school curriculum, she said the process had failed.

There is also a loophole in the law controlling drug distribution by registered pharmacists, she said.

The law allows registered drug stores to operate with a pharmacist present for only three hours a day instead of on a full-time basis, she said.

Police yesterday took a games shop keeper opposite the school for questioning after reports the students bought the medicine from him.

Suwamit Montriwibulchai, 24, who admitted to selling the drugs to some students, was charged with selling medicine without permission. He said he only sold the tablets to high school, not primary school, students.

Mr Suwamit said he used the pills to treat himself and after a while he felt ‘‘rejuvenated’’. ‘‘I told my friends about this and I guess the words spread to the kids who came to the shop,’’ he said. ‘‘I sold the drugs for about two weeks and the customers kept growing.’’

Mr Suwamit said he sold the pills for one baht each and did not make any profit from the sales.

Police and FDA authorities yesterday raided nearby Sunny Pharmacy where Mr Suwamit said he bought the pills. They allegedly found a large amount of dextromethorphan.

The owner faces charges of selling drugs without the supervision of a registered pharmacist.

No victory yet in war on drugs

Last week, it seemed like Thai police were winning the war against drugs, seizing more than 4 million pills. From this story, it is clear the police themselves don't think that is the case. Read to find out why.

Few highs for drug busters

Wassayos Ngamkham
Anucha Charoenpo

drugs1Drug agencies are warning of a massive influx of methamphetamines into Thailand despite the recent hauls which have netted almost 4 million pills. Narcotics Suppression Bureau (NSB) officers seized 3.66 million speed pills, or ya ba, from Thursday to Sunday in separate raids in Bangkok and Samut Prakan.

The haul was the agency’s biggest in recent operations. And it expects more to come.

‘‘Now they’re [drugs] back again,’’ said NSB deputy commander Harnpol Nitwibul. ‘‘They are everywhere and the problem is unstoppable.’’

The Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB), another agency tasked with cracking down on illicit drugs, and army officials responsible for the North where many of the drugs enter the country echoed Pol Maj Gen Harnpol’s views.

‘‘What we’ve just seen is only the tip of the iceberg,’’ said Permpong Chaovalit, deputy director-general of the ONCB’s head office in Bangkok.

‘‘The ya ba situation is getting worse. Now we are on the defensive.’’

A source at the ONCB’s northern branch, based in Chiang Mai, said an influx of drugs across the border from Burma was expected to reach Thailand’s northern provinces on Chinese New Year’s day, Feb 14.

Bangkok is the main destination for most of the drugs.

The ONCB said 285 of 850 districts nationwide were being targetted by drugs authorities.

Drug abuse and the trade in drugs in those areas account for about 75% of all the country’s drug-related problems.

The worst districts are in Bangkok, followed by the central and northern regions.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has said he was worried by last week’s methamphetamine seizures.

Acting national police chief Pateep Tanprasert and Pol Maj Gen Harnpol were summoned to Government House on Monday to report on the three days of raids.

At the meeting, the prime minister gave his full support for the crackdown and said he was ready to give drugs agencies more money to continue their clamp down on the trade, Pol Maj Gen Harnpol said.

Burma is the biggest supplier of methamphetamines to Thailand, according to drugs agencies.

Most production plants are located just across the border from Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Mae Hong Son.

Armed ethnic groups in Burma are using the drugs trade as a quick source of income to buy weapons to fight the Burmese army, agencies say.

Clashes are expected to increase amid fears that Burmese government forces are planning a major offensive in the run up to this year’s general elections.

‘‘We have obtained information that ethnic minority groups inside Burma are speeding up their drugs production so they can earn more money to buy new weapons to fight Burmese soldiers,’’ Mr Permpong said.

In addition to Burma’s insurgents, the pro-junta United Wa State Army is believed to be a major supplier of drugs, according to the ONCB’s northern office.

The NSB, ONCB, border patrol police and Pha Muang Task Force said they were closely monitoring drug traffickers from Burma.

The ONCB is cooperating with its Burmese counterparts to keep a close watch on drug production along the border.

The main trafficking routes pass through 14 districts in the three northern border provinces of Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Mae Hong Song, said Pornthep Eamprapai, director of the ONCB’s northern office.

The region’s geography and porous borders made it difficult to effectively police all of the routes, Pol Maj Gen Harnpol said.

‘‘Nowadays it does not enter the northern region alone. It also comes through the western border and to the Northeast through Laos.’’

A source at the ONCB office in Chiang Mai said rail services have long been exploited by drug smugglers to transport drugs from the northern border down to areas such as Bangkok.

The absence of checkpoints along the track and a lack of rail staff to search passengers’ belongings make the system an efficient trafficking route, the source said.

‘‘It is not convenient to conduct a train search because you have to disrupt the whole train, and the drugs are smuggled in small packages,’’ he said.

‘‘The smugglers can throw away the packages and have them picked up later if they get wind of a search.’’
