All evils are being able to live together. They have honored to each other just like divide but their people are living with a condition worst than animals in a western country. They sucked bloods and sweats of their people for their high profile lifestyle. They are all criminals of the 21 century

Look at the picture of looser. No wonder why some many Khmer die under the Khmer Rouge and the Viet invasion. You got Sihanouk who have no fucking idea what he doing and still is!.

He endose people in Pyongyang, just look at the picture you know they are 'Kookoo' in the brain like all of his sons too. Every country move toward growth and development this clone move toward perimitive time even better, Hun Sen with his Viet boss is moving Cambodia to years minus -25...soon -30 there is nothing left for the next Khmer generations.
The only tree/log available is in Hun Sen's house all Khmer should go and chop it down for firewood now hence to reduce their fuel cost.

Thanks for a brief laughing period. I think that was a real cute joke!


O.K: from the body language:

The man in the middle seem to say " what are you two standing next to me for? or do I look like you? and should I finish you two off or what?"

From The King & Queen " We just understand Diversity better and we didn't see any thing wrong with it. See the smile?... :)"

O.K, King and Queen, I hope that a few months in Siem Rap would do you some good thinking and hopefully you get some better news from free press around the World. If you both know well, you should know that North Korea people are in a very serious trouble of food and supplies shortage of all kinds. They live close to Hell right now.

If you see what I see, PLEASE SAY SOMETHING AND DO SOMETHING. It might do some good for the sick man in the middle as well. Soon or later, he won't have any North Korean people to rule over.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

VIETNAM INVADES KHMER
The official vietnamisation of our Northeastern provinces

September 8th, 2006
We publish below an article of Cambodge Soir of September 7th, 2006, entitled « Five projects of barrage on Sesan » (Cinq projets de barrages sur le Sesan).
This project is led by vietnamese engineers. Then this project will be materialized by vietnamese companies. Then the electricity will be transferred and sold to vietnamese Electric Centrer which would resell back their electricity to Cambodians, with a "cheap" price !
So the Ministry of Commerce, seems to be Cambodian, in the person of its Secretary of State Ith Prang endorsed a study made by vietnamese engineers. Why hydroelectric stations will be built in Vietnam and not in Cambodia ? So it will be Vietnam a boss of our electricity. According to Ith Prang, Vietnam would sell us the electricity without making the slightest profit ?
So this project is completely vietnamese and financed by the Cambodians on Cambodian territory :
1/. Led by vietnamese engineers and paid by the Cambodians;
2/. These barrages will be built by vietnamese companies with the vietnamese staff, and financed by Cambodians.
3/. The hydroelectric station will be implanted in Vietnam built and managed by Vietnamese and financed by the Cambodians? So Vietnam will be a boss of the Cambodian electricity production. While geographically this electricity belongs to us, Cambodians.
4/. It is necessary to be very naive to believe that Vietnam will sell us the electricity produced in Vietnam less expensive than to Vietnam. Presently Cambodians on our Eastern borders, pay the vietnamese electricity the double of the price in Vietnam.
5/. This project will begin only in 20012 or 20013, that is when Japan will have completed the highway construction which connecting our provinces of the Northeast with the vietnamese port of Da Nang.
6/. Why put the study of this project into the hands of the vietnamese companies and not to companies a little more independent from vietnamese interests? Are there people independent from vietnamese interests in Cambodia ?
Conclusion : It is curious to notice that Cambodian politicians sensible to defend the national interests of Cambodia, seem to ignore these problems of the vietnamisation of Cambodia in term of economic and territorial matter. Our members of parliament, on the other hand like giving lessons of democracy to the others, while they vote the laws to self censure and to look on internal affairs of the family.
We also publish below opinions of our fellow countrymen on these incomprehensible votes by politicians sensible to defend “Democracy” and “Liberties” by word and by opinion and individual.

Five projects of barrages on Sesan
Five hydroelectric barrages could be built from 2012 on the Cambodian side of the river Sesan, in the province of Stung Treng, according to the results of a preliminary study made by vietnamese experts ordered by the Department of Commerce. According to Ith Prang, Secretary of State of this ministry, this study led for one year allowed to identify five sites convenient to the installation of hydroelectric infrastructures, for a total production capacity estimated at 818 megawatts. « It does not mean that all these barrages will be built », clarifies the State Secretary, who asserts that only "some priority projects" will be held first, at the conclusion of a detailed study. This one will begin in the days which follow, according to Ith Prang, and should analyze at the same moment the economic stakes and the environmental impact of such infrastructures. The biggest project concerns the construction of a barrage of a power of 420 MW, for a 611 million dollar cost. Four others would have capacities of 180 MW, 90 MW and, for both more modest, 64 MW, in respective costs of 387,164, and 114 million dollars. « Once the detailed study ended, the vietnamese could participate also in the construction of barrages, asserts the State Secretary. If everything is well, the first constructions could begin in 2012 or 2013. » The energy produced by these barrages would then be forwarded and sold to Vietnamese power plants which would resell in turn « electricity in the Cambodian provinces, with cheap price » adds Ith Prang.

Social Morality Misguided and a sad Indicator
I can't help feeling hurt that Cambodian lawmakers were so preoccupied with social mo­rality that they rushed and passed a Law relating to people's private lives rather than dealing with many of the other more serious issues. Immediately after three months in recess, the National Assembly should have prior­itized far more imp­ortant legisla­tion, such as the anticorruption law, the freedom of information law and others, which constituents and the international donor community are anxiously waiting to see. Worse to have a law to regulate individual morality is a shameful indication that Cambodia is not civi­lized and that its social morality is too low to be restored by any other means than the law. One parliamentarian defended the law saying it would help reduce corruption, as government officials are acquiring money dishonestly to lavish it on their mistresses. While I am glad this was acknowledged, I wonder why the parliamentarian didn’t address corruption directly. Singapore and Heng Pov are both very successful in addressing corruption, but presumably neither has an adultery law. Their success must at least partly be due to strong systems of accountability and trans­parency. Are we now going to make another law to criminalize children who disobey their parents by skipping classes, gambling or spending nights out with their peers? Having a law to regulate our morality and private lives is like using rods to guide a chilk!. Sok Barisoth, Phnom Penh

Again, SRP Succeeds at Disappointing
OPINION- Letter to the Editor
It seems more obvious than ever that Cambodians ought to look beyond the Sam Rainsy Party for their savior, (“SRP Admits 10 Approved Controversial Law,” Tuesday, page 13). The vote for the law - which curbs lawmakers’ right to free speech - by 10 of 24 SRP parliamentarians is a blunder with significant implications. It is incomprehensible that oppo­sition lawmakers voted for a bill that effectively legitimizes the illegal arrest last year of one of their MPs, who also happened inconceivably, to support the bill. It seems retirement security was in their minds when they voted. It is disappointing to see such a young, energetic party already contemplat­ing a comfortable lifestyle after poli­tics. One SRP parliamentarian argued that the devastating Article 5 of the bill could be amended later. He is absolutely right, unless the opposition would want to keep it if they were in power. This is another sad episode rein­forcing a negative perception of the SRP. Bun Buno, Australia

Dear fellow 9:25pm

You probably right, but I still think that if anyone can bring " A Gold Resume " of The West or The US to North Korea it must be them or China or South Korea. They are in its closest cirle. Even President Bush agrees that South Korea could make adifferent by convincing North Korea back to the negotiation table. Yes, they can or may be they just not smart enough to figure out or just like you said, they don't have it.
and Why Mr. Kim only want direct attention from Mr. Bush? what is the big hold up?
Can he understand that only bad people want to negociate secreatly? Mr. Bush deosn't want that. He wants the whole to know to know what is going on and dealing with North Korea openly. Can we blaim him for that?
