Thailand rules out ICJ, reaffirms bilateral approach in border dispute with Cambodia
This handout photo from the Royal Thai Government taken and released on June 11, 2025 shows Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra (C) inspecting a bunker during a visit to Kap Choeng District in Surin Province near the border with Cambodia. Thailand and Cambodia on June 8 reached an agreement to reposition their troops in a disputed border area where a Cambodian soldier was killed last month in a military clash, both sides announced. - AFP PHOTO/ROYAL THAI GOVERNMENT BANGKOK: Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has reaffirmed that the kingdom will not take part in proceedings at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over its border dispute with Cambodia, stating that a bilateral mechanism remains the preferred approach. "Thailand does not recognise the jurisdiction of the ICJ and will not participate in the proceedings. "The government firmly believes that the bilateral mechanism, reflecting the sincerity of both countries, is an effective and promising solution," she said on X, Monday (June 16). Earlier, Prime Minister Hun Manet confirmed that Cambodia had officially submitted its case to the ICJ regarding border disputes in four areas: Ta Moan Thom, Ta Moan Toch, Ta Krabei, and the Mum Bei area. Posted on his social media platform Monday, Hun Manet stated that Cambodian Ambassador to the Netherlands, Kimsour Sovannary, had handed over the submission letter to ICJ Registrar Philippe Gautier. Tensions between the two neighbouring countries escalated after a fatal clash on May 28 in Thailand's northeastern Ubon Ratchathani province and Cambodia's northern Preah Vihear province. The incident reportedly resulted in the death of a 48-year-old Cambodian sergeant. Both nations have been embroiled in a long-standing dispute over their undemarcated 817-kilometre land border. On the just concluded Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) meetings held in Phnom Penh, Paetongtarn said it progressed positively, despite some differences of opinion between the two sides. The two-day meeting, held after a 12-year hiatus, ended on Sunday. On Sunday, Cambodia has invited Thailand to jointly resolve their border dispute at ICJ describing it as the best option to end the ongoing dispute. Cambodian Minister in Charge of the State Secretariat of Border Affairs, Lam Chea, said referring the matter to the ICJ would ensure a fair and impartial solution to the border controversy. Lam Chea who co-chaired the meeting stated the four disputed areas would no longer be included in future meetings JBC. Thailand will host the next JBC meeting in September 2025. Meanwhile, Paetongtarn reiterated that the Thai government has never issued an order to close border checkpoints along the Thai Cambodian border. She clarified that current measures involve regulating the opening and closing times of checkpoints, as decided by the National Security Council (NSC), which has delegated authority to the military. The aim, she said, is to prevent potential risks arising from the movement of military forces and long-range weaponry used by the Cambodian side. "Temporarily adjusting checkpoint hours is necessary to ensure public safety. This measure may be revised if the situation improves," she said. - Bernama

Ganja resembling belacan, chocolate, and keropok lekor seized
KANGAR: Belacan, chocolate bars and keropok lekor — these familiar favourites turned out to be a cover for a pungent plot here. The drugs, valued at RM9,238, were found in the possession of a 21-year-old Thai national who was arrested while attempting to board the Electric Train Service (ETS) heading south from Bukit Keteri Railway Station. Perlis police chief Datuk Muhammad Abdul Halim said the incident took place at Bukit Keteri railway station after police received information regarding a Thai man carrying cannabis who was planning to board the ETS. "Based on the information received, our personnel from the Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID) of the Perlis police contingent headquarters went to the station and successfully identified the 21-year-old suspect. "The man was believed to be waiting for the ETS heading south, and upon inspecting the backpack he was carrying, we found 27 plastic packets containing green plant material suspected to be cannabis, weighing 2.98 kilogrammes and valued at RM9,238," he said. Muhammad said preliminary investigations revealed the suspect was paid more than RM1,000 by the syndicate to deliver the cannabis via the ETS. "The cannabis was shaped and packaged to resemble shrimp paste, chocolate bars, and raw 'keropok lekor' in an attempt to fool the authorities during inspections. "The supply is believed to have been sourced from a neighbouring country, with Perlis used as a transit point before being distributed or sold in southern states. "The suspect's modus operandi involved delivering drug supplies from Thailand into the country on demand, for a fee of RM1,500," he said. Following this, police arrested another suspect, a 25-year-old local man in Alor Setar, who is also believed to be involved in the drug distribution syndicate. "Initial drug screening on the main suspect found him positive for methamphetamine. A background check revealed he has four prior criminal records related to drug offences. "The total amount of drugs seized in this case could serve approximately 29,870 drug addicts," he said. Muhammad said the case is being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. The suspect has been remanded for seven days until this Thursday to assist with investigations.
