On Tuesday, government official rejected a report published by The Bangkok Post claiming that Hun Xen will allow the opening of the border post at Preah Vihear temple after the New Year. Tith Sothea, mouthpiece of the Press and Quick Reaction Unit of the Council of Ministers, told The Cambodia Daily that Hun Xen did not raise this issue. Eang Sophallet, Hun Xen’s aid, said that he did not know that Hun Xen allowed the opening of the border gate sometime after the New Year during the latter’s meeting with Thai General Prayuth-ocha, the Thai army chief. Hang Soth, the chairman of the Preah Vihear National Authority, said yesterday that he did not receive any order to open the temple. He said that his organization did not hear anything concerning this issue.
