Dear Editor,

My attention has been drawn to your reporting of events concerning the temple of Preah Vihear over the past week. I notice that your reporters have referred to Preah Vihear as being "a disputed 11th century Hindu monument".

May I point out that the temple of Preah Vihear is not a "Hindu monument" but a Khmer sanctuary, built by Khmer kings and dedicated to Shiva theHindu god. Indeed, construction of the temple was began under the rule of the Khmer King Yasovarman I (889-910AD) and completed during the rule of one of his successors, King Suryavarman II (1113-1145).

It should be understood that for past Khmer kings, a sanctuary was first and foremost a cosmological recreation. Thus, the construction of Khmer sanctuaries in the form of multi-tiered Pyramids meant that the place was considered a sacred cosmic mountain. This was particularly noticeable in the temples dedicated to Shiva, because of the association with the god's mountain home, Mount Kailasa. A mountain or a cliff top location, as in the case of Preah Vihear, was always the first choice for the Khmer architects building these major temples.

The fact that Preah Vihear is a Khmer sanctuary and not a "Hindu monument" has been extensively acknowledged by most experts in Khmer architecture including in such books published in Thailand by Thai authors like Professor S. Siribhadra of Silpakorn University in Bangkok in 1992, Dr Dhida Saraya in 1994 and by the Italian author Vittorio Roveda in 2000.

There is no dispute over the temple itself but rather over surrounding land that is claimed by both Cambodia and Thailand. The temple has always been Khmer, except for a period when it was occupied by Siam from 1431 to 1907. In 1431, under the reign of the Siamese King Chao Saam Phraya (Boromrajadhiraj II) who ruled from 1424 to 1448, in what is known as the Ayutthaya period of Siamese (Thai) history, the armies of Siam defeated the Khmer armies and forced the evacuation of Angkor and the capital of the Khmer Empire was moved to Oudong and then to Phnom Penh.

The Siamese armies occupied Battambang, Sisophon, Siemreap-Angkor as well as Preah Vihear and they were annexed into Siam.

Nota Penulis:

Itulah dia kekuatan tentera Siam Islam yang berasal dari Kedah (senang cerita hari ini kira 'Melayu' Kedahlah) yang memerintah sebahagian besar benua nusantara dalam usaha mengembangkan Islam pesan dari Maharaja Sai Tee Sung hasil dakwah Saad Waqas r.a amanat dari Rasullullah s.a.w. Kisahnya (bukan sehari dua tapi sejak dari 23H iaitu 1400 tahun yang lampau) dipadamkan dari lipatan sejarah kerana peranan pemimpinnya yang menegak syariat Islam (refer UUK) dan jika tidak dipadam akan menjadi penghalang besar kemasukan pengaruh yahudi-nasrani-freethinker dan majusi ke alam nusantara. Oleh itu boleh dikatakan seruan Islam sudah sampai ke seluruh pelusuk dunia tidak terkecuali Tanah Jawi seawal zaman 4 sahabat lagi. Bagi mereka yang faham, semua gerakan dakwah zaman para sahabat adalah berasaskan pegangan tauhid yang mantap. Empayar Rom dan Parsi mula menerima seruan Islam seawal zaman panglima perang, Khalifah Abu Bakar As-Siddiq.


Siaran ulangan:
Siam Islam yang berasal dari Kedah hanya memerintah dari Ayuthia @ Shahru-Naoi @ Kota Baru yang dibuka kemudian dari Kedah sehingga tahun 1767M. Selepas kejatuhan Ayuthia kepada Sukhothai, Panglima Besar Siam, Khalifah Sharif Abu Bakar dan anaknya Po Chan Koya Long berundur ke Semenanjung Siam-Malaka iaitu tanah asal Merong Mahawangsa - banjaran Titi Wangsa yang menjadi tulang belakang kepada tanah semenanjung ini sebagai buktinya. Preah Vihear yang asalnya kubu Koya Long itu kemudiannya menjadi perebutan pula antara Thai dan Khmer.


Berikutan dari pengunduran itu terjadi pula perang Siam-Thai 1821-1839 yang diketuai oleh cucu Khalifah Shariff, iaitu Syed Alang Alaudin yang mendapat gelaran Panglima Bukit Gantang kerana mempertahankan kedaulatan sebuah Empayar Islam Benua Siam-Kedah bagi menghalang kemaraan tentera jutmajut kafir buddha Thai. Peranan itu kemudiannya diambil oleh Long Jaafar anaknya sebelum berjaya dibunuh oleh puak-puak Thai dibantu oleh puak-puak Freemason dan agennya seorang Siam yang menjadi Melayu iaitu Sir. SAH KCMG. Barulah padan kisah yahudi-nasrani-majusi vs Islam...
