Asean credibility at stake amid soaring Thailand-Cambodia border tensions: analysts

Asean risks a fresh blow to its already dented credibility if it fails to de-escalate tensions between Thailand and Cambodia , analysts have warned, as a deadly border skirmish and a political leak threaten to trigger broader regional fallout. Advertisement 'A full-blown border war between Thailand and Cambodia will damage Asean's credibility,' Abdul Rahman Yaacob, a research fellow at the Lowy Institute's Southeast Asia programme, told This Week in Asia. 'The regional organisation is already under fire for being perceived as not effective in dealing with the Myanmar crisis.' Since its founding in 1967, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations has been credited with helping avoid conflict among its members. But that legacy now faces a critical test, observers say, amid a weeks-long stand-off following a May 28 clash that left one Cambodian soldier dead – the first fatal border flare-up since 2011. Tensions intensified after a phone call between Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and former Cambodian leader Hun Sen leaked on Wednesday, revealing informal efforts to calm the situation. In the recording, Paetongtarn referred to Hun Sen as 'uncle' and urged him to disregard a Thai military commander, saying: 'He just wants to look cool … but in truth what we want is peace.' 03:41 Thai government hangs by thread as leaked phone call shreds PM Paetongtarn's credibility Thai government hangs by thread as leaked phone call shreds PM Paetongtarn's credibility The leak triggered political backlash in Thailand, where critics accused Paetongtarn of undermining the military and appearing overly deferential to Hun Sen. The uproar led to the withdrawal of a key coalition partner and intensified scrutiny of the Shinawatra family's close personal ties with Cambodia's ruling elite.

Thai PM meets army commander in bid to save coalition

Thai PM meets army commander in bid to save coalition Paetongtarn Shinawatra speaks with Lieutenant General Boonsin Padklang in Ubon Ratchathani province as part of an effort to save her job. Photo: Reuters Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra held make-up talks on Friday with an army commander she criticised in a leaked phone call as she struggled to defuse a crisis threatening to topple her government. The daughter of billionaire ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra and in office for less than a year, Paetongtarn is facing calls to quit or announce an election as anger flares over the call with former Cambodian leader Hun Sen. Her main coalition partner, the conservative Bhumjaithai party, pulled out on Wednesday, saying she had insulted the country and the army and leaving her government on the point of collapse. She suffered another blow on Friday as reports emerged that another coalition partner was threatening to quit unless she stepped down as prime minister. The crisis has sent the Thai stock market plunging to a five-year low and comes as the kingdom struggles to fire up its sluggish economy, with US President Donald Trump's threatened trade tariffs looming. Paetongtarn, 38, visited troops in northeast Thailand on Friday to patch things up with Lieutenant General Boonsin Padklang after she was caught disparaging him as an "opponent" during the call with Hun Sen. Boonsin commands Thai forces along the border with Cambodia, where a long-running dispute flared into deadly clashes last month, and Paetongtarn's criticism of him drew accusations of disloyalty from right-wing nationalist critics. Paetongtarn said after their meeting that the matter was settled. "It went very well. I've spoken to the commander and there's no longer any issue," she told reporters. For his part, Boonsin said "everything is normal". The meeting with Boonsin followed a public apology from Paetongtarn – at a news conference flanked by military and police chiefs – on Thursday as pressure on her mounted. Paetongtarn was criticised as being weak and deferential in the call with Hun Sen, a veteran politician known as a wily operator, but her comments about the army commander were potentially the most damaging to her. Thailand's armed forces have long played a powerful role in the kingdom's politics and politicians are usually careful not to antagonise them. The apology and apparent reconciliation with the army commander may not be enough to save Paetongtarn's premiership. The departure of Bhumjaithai has left the government's coalition with a razor-thin majority in parliament and losing another partner would likely see it collapse. There was a glimmer of good news for Paetongtarn on Friday morning as the conservative Democrat Party pledged to stay in the coalition. However, Public broadcaster ThaiPBS reported that the United Thai Nation (UTN) party, which has 36 seats and is now the biggest party in the coalition after Pheu Thai, is considering quitting. The broadcaster said UTN was going to issue an ultimatum to Paetongtarn: either she quits as premier or they withdraw, bringing down the government. (AFP)
