”Thailand started the war”... The true identity of the beauty pageant winner who shed tears
The winner of a Cambodian beauty pageant has made political remarks criticizing Thailand for "stirring up conflict," sparking controversy.

The Thai government is of the opinion that the agreement cannot be implemented because "hostilities have not decreased sufficiently," but Cambodia is considering taking its own prisoners.
They are urging him to be released as scheduled.
