Thai ‘Yellow Shirts' return to demand Paetongtarn's removal after leaked Hun Sen call
Hundreds of protesters gathered in Thailand 's capital on Saturday to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, part of the brewing political turmoil set off by a leaked phone call with former Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen. Paetongtarn faces growing dissatisfaction over her handling of a recent border dispute with Cambodia involving an armed confrontation on May 28. One Cambodian soldier was killed in a relatively small, contested area. The clash set off a string of investigations that could lead to her removal. Protesters held national flags and signs as they occupied parts of the streets around the Victory Monument in central Bangkok.

Are migrant workers the real glue cementing Asean-GCC ties?
The second Asean -Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Summit and the inaugural Asean-GCC-China Summit, held in Malaysia from May 26 to 27, marked a significant step towards deepening ties between Southeast Asia and the Gulf. Advertisement While interregional cooperation is often framed in terms of energy, trade and investment, the bedrock of this relationship is increasingly shaped by people-to-people connectivity, anchored in labour migration, religious devotion and growing financial linkages. As fast-growing regions, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the GCC are forming bonds as much through daily human interaction as through strategic interests. In 2022, the combined workforce of the six GCC countries – Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) – was estimated at 32 million. Of these, Gulf nationals accounted for just 5.8 million, or 18 per cent, while more than 26 million were foreign workers. Although comprehensive and up-to-date data on the total number of Asean citizens working in the GCC is limited, available figures highlight the Gulf's significance as a destination for Asean labour migrants and a key source of remittances. 01:47 Chinese Premier Li Qiang hails first-ever three-way talks with SE Asia, Gulf nations Chinese Premier Li Qiang hails first-ever three-way talks with SE Asia, Gulf nations Saudi Arabia , the largest country in the GCC, employed about 726,000 Filipinos, 175,000 Indonesians and 164,000 Myanmar nationals, according to its 2022 census. The UAE , the second largest country in the region, hosted about 780,000 Filipinos last year. Kuwait, though smaller in size, is still a popular destination for migrant workers, with more than 223,000 Filipinos living there as of 2024. Most of these migrant workers are employed in sectors such as domestic work, healthcare and construction. Recognising the structural importance of these labour flows, Asean and GCC member states have increasingly sought to institutionalise protection mechanisms through bilateral agreements. For example, the 2017 labour agreement between Saudi Arabia and the Philippines set standards for recruitment and employment practices to ensure the rights and welfare of Filipino workers. Advertisement Indonesia , which imposed a moratorium in 2015 on sending workers to Saudi Arabia amid frequent cases of abuse, is now preparing to lift the ban by the end of this month. This development follows a renewed agreement to strengthen worker protection, including a minimum wage, health and life insurance, and digital integration of recruitment data to monitor irregular practices and improve oversight. These moves point to a clear trend: labour governance is becoming central to Asean-GCC cooperation. Both sides are shifting from ad hoc arrangements to a more structured approach focused on rights, protections and shared responsibility – a sign of a more mature and balanced partnership.

The unprovoked shooting by a Thai soldier on May 28 that led to the tragic death of a Cambodian soldier occurred near Techo Morokot village in Preah Vihear province, close to the historic Preah Vihear Temple, in a sector long administered by Cambodia. It is one of four zones administered by Cambodia but still subject to Thai claims despite clear legal foundations. Cambodia responded to this tragedy not with escalation but with restraint and principle, proposing that both nations submit the matter jointly to the International Court of Justice (ICJ). When that offer was declined, Cambodia chose to proceed with the ICJ independently, openly and in accordance with international law. The ICJ exists precisely to adjudicate such disputes. Cambodia's decision to approach the ICJ is not about reviving historical grievances or fanning nationalist flames. It is about preventing further loss of life, safeguarding regional stability and strengthening the rules-based order in Southeast Asia. The people who live along our shared frontier, Cambodians and Thais alike, are the ones most directly affected. When tensions rise, cross-border trade suffers, livelihoods are disrupted and fear takes hold. The ICJ has ruled on this frontier before, and Cambodia respects that process. In 1962, the court determined that the Preah Vihear Temple lies on Cambodian territory, relying in part on a map drawn by French surveyors in 1907 and later formally acknowledged by Thai officials, who have used this map without objection for years. In 2013, the court reaffirmed Cambodia's sovereignty over the temple and clarified that it includes the surrounding area necessary for access and protection. These legal principles continue to guide Cambodia's peaceful approach today. Advertisement Notably, Cambodia is not producing rival maps or engaging in political grandstanding. We continue to rely on legal norms and remain open to technical cooperation in non-contested areas.
