Noppadon slammed for blaming temple on previous govt

(BangkokPost.com) – Democrat party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva slammed Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama for distorting information by claiming that the previous Surayud Chulanont administration had pushed to support Cambodia’s registration of the temple as a World Heritage site, not himself.

Mr Abhisit said he checked with information from the Foreign Ministry and found that the claim by Mr Noppadon was misleading.

Mr Noppadon claimed that the Surayud government had supported the listing since last year.
Mr Abhisit said Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej and Mr Noppadon must be held responsible if the Unesco approves the listing of the ancient temple.
