No problem of region’s status despite 2001 MoU

In light of growing concern over the island’s inclusion in a 2001 memorandum of understanding ( MoU) with Cambodia regarding the management of assets in the overlapping claims area, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra said there is no denying Koh Kut’s status as a sovereign territory.

While there is no issue about the region’s status, the PM admitted that the questionable MoU may be formally revoked without Cambodia’s contract.

Her confidence echoed Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul’s new note over the planet’s position.

” As the interior minister, I confirm that Koh Kut truly and completely belongs to Thailand. The area is regarded as a district of Trat by the devoted Thai people who reside that, according to Mr. Anutin, who also cited a number of imperial orders and legal documents that show that the island’s ownership is generally accepted.

After observers made the point that if the file is used as the starting point for discussions on the management of aquatic resources in the clashing says area, the Thai government risks losing autonomy over Koh Kut.

The MoU, according to Defense Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, is not intended to facilitate the management of sea assets in the Gulf of Thailand and is not related to Koh Kut.

He claimed that any potential discussions on joint sea passions between Cambodia and Thailand does need to include the delimitation of the maritime border between the two nations because the MoU was no revoked when the Abhisit Vejjajiva management came to power.

The Abhisit administration, which includes leaders and members of the current government coalition, had reportedly agreed in principle to revoke the MoU on November 10, 2009, according to Sontirat Sontijirawong, head of the Palang Pracharath Party ( PPRP ).

” These parties include]what is now ] Bhumjaithai”, Mr Sontirat said, in an apparent reference to Mr Anutin, the current leader of the Bhumjaithai Party.

” I would like present coalition parties to confirm their intent to cancel the 2001 MoU to defend the nation’s passions”, said Mr Sontirat, who is a former power and commerce secretary.

Suriyasai Katasila, a former representative of Women’s Alliance for Democracy or the yellow jerseys, said there are attempts to discredit reviewers of the 2001 MoU as patriots.

He claimed that such maneuvers will only polarize the country and wo n’t help it.

Mr. Suriyasai noted that Koh Kut is not the subject of criticism, but rather the promises that Cambodia’s negotiations with Thailand revolved around overlapping sea resources.

There is absolutely no question about Thai rule over Koh Kut.

There is no problem Koh Kut area belongs to Thailand, the internal minister said on Monday, but Thailand never unilaterally revoke the controversial 2001 tools memorandum of understanding with Cambodia.

He was responding to demands from conferred groups, including some academics and the Palang Pracharath Party, to renounce the deal because he believed it would put Thai independence at risk over Koh Kut, a boundary island in Trat state. &nbsp,

He claimed that Koh Kut was a part of Thailand without a doubt.

” As the internal chancellor, I confirm that Koh Kut truly and completely belongs to Thailand. There are devoted Thai residents who reside that, according to Mr. Anutin, who noted that it is recognized as a city of Trat.

There should be no ambiguity about Koh Kut’s autonomy. There were papers, including a royal order, which testify to the public understanding that Koh Kut belongs to Thailand, he said.

According to deputy prime minister and defense secretary Phumtham Wechayachai, the 2001 MoU relates to a overlapping claim area in the Gulf of Thailand with Cambodia. Koh Kut was no involved, and the Memorandum had not been revoked while the Abhisit Vejjajiva state was in power, as some had claimed.

He added that the government would demand that the discussions include demarcation if there was a discussion about mutual marine interests.

Mr. Phumtham stated that he disapproved of any Koh Kut proposal to shift the border.

He claimed that some of the coalition’s former leaders and supporters were involved with the Abhisit government at the time.

These events included Bhumjaithai, Mr Sontirat said. The Bhumjaithai Party is led by Mr. Anutin.

According to Mr. Sonti, who is a former power and business minister,” I would like current alliance parties to ensure the intention to withdraw the 2001 MoU, as they did in that past cabinet,” in order to safeguard the national interest and stop conflicts of interest involving any significant and capitalist group.

Tiny participation for common sessions

The National Human Rights Commission ( NHRC ) will receive a petition from the Thailand Consumer Council (TCC ) on Wednesday, citing shortcomings in the way public hearings are conducted and infringe on people’s rights.

Itboon Onwongsa, assistant secretary-general of the TCC, said the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s third revised version of the town plan also lacks common awareness and commitment.

” That was against people’s right”, he told members in a conference on the” Justice City” held by the TCC on Saturday.

We have closely examined the Bangkok area plan’s design, and we have discovered numerous issues that still need to be resolved, such as traffic congestion and flood. Everyone has the right to voice their opinions about the new plan in Bangkok, according to him, and there are more than 5 million persons there.

According to the law, public hearings and open engagement are required for the area plan’s preparation. However, the BMA has failed to adequately explain the effects of its area program, and its public hearings were sparsely attended.

The TCC requested more individuals attend its trials in a letter to the BMA, but the BMA did not respond. As a result, TCC may question the National Human Rights Commission to act.

Supattra Nakaphiw, a part of NHRC, said she immediately agreed with the complaint that the review of the Bangkok area pan perhaps offend people’s rights, such as the right to information, the right to participation, the right to a healthy environment, and the right to property, specifically the right to housing.

We will examine whether the Bangkok City Plan’s formulation violates women’s rights. If we find there is a infraction, we will send it to BMA to get options”, she said.

Pornprom Okuchi, associate director of the Subcommittee on Real Estate and Housing under the TCC, said 21, 776 people took part in the BMA’s public sessions from 2017 until the present, out of Bangkok inhabitants of 5.4 million people.

” That’s less than one per share. According to him, this is unethical information for public hearings on important city planning projects, including the revised city plan, which will add 148 new roads and 200 new canals.

Atavit Suwanpakdee, president of an expert panel to the Industry Minister, said he has been keeping an eye on the BMA’s town plan. He discovered that the most recent edition of the Khu Bon Water Plan has not yet been included in it.

He claimed that despite the government’s claim that the Khu Bon was a liquid engagement place in Bangkok’s northeast region capable of holding up to 870, 000 million square meters of water, it had vanished.

In spite of the fact that 130-rai of land was designated in 2022 as a kaem ling ( monkey cheek ), several housing estates were constructed by private companies.

” The water retention program has been prepared for property eviction, but the place has been allocated to housing projects. I’ll be interested to find out if the program is actually included in the town plan. If no, I will post this subject to the National Anti-Corruption Commission”, he said.

A member of the Klong Toey district’s population, Thaweethong Latthong, claimed that the community had given up four significant temples to create Bangkok Port and relocated four significant ones from the area.

By requesting that the 26 Klong Toey areas receive 20 % of the port area immediately, we would like to take part in the 4th Bangkok City Plan’s draft.

We would like to have some of the area for our folks so we will have safe places to visit home, he said,” since we learned that a percentage of the interface will be allocated for an entertainment complex job.”
