(SGT-HCMC) Kien Giang Province has submitted to the Prime Minister a plan to develop a thermo-electric plant in Kien Luong District to ensure sufficient power for the province and especially Phu Quoc Island in the long term, officials said.
Chairman of the southernmost province Bui Ngoc Suong told the Daily yesterday that he proposed the Government to allow Australia’s Ensham Resources to build a thermo-electric plant on Hon Chong Island in Kien Luong District.
The thermal power plant, with a designed capacity of 1.000MW and worth US$1 billion, should be completed in 2010, and should be developed under the Build-Operate-Transfer or Build-Operate-Own forms, he said.
Provincial authorities also proposed the central Government to enlist this power project in the national strategy for grid development and gas consumption in the 2006-10 period, paving the way for Ensham to develop the project effectively.
Suong told the Daily that the developer would increase capacity of the power plant up to 2,000MW in the long term after 2010. The project will help generate extra electricity for the country’s increasingly huge demand for electric power to fuel economic growth, continued the chairman.
Kien Giang authorities have met officials of ministries of Industry, Planning and Investment, and Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) to find solutions for boosting electric supply for Phu Quoc Island, which is poised to become a huge tourist paradise of the country..
In the near term to 2010, Phu Quoc will continues using power from diesel-fired plants. In the long run, however, Phu Quoc will need power supply from the mainland, according to authorities.
Two options are being weighed, one aiming to build an underground cable line 45km long to transmit electricity from Ha Tien to Phu Quoc, at an estimated cost of US$135 million, and the other being to supply Phu Quoc via the line from Vietnam to Cambodia.
Private power projects are currently encouraged in Vietnam because demand is far outpacing supply. Given the rapid growth of the economy, national authorities have shown concerns that the country will face a severe power shortage in a few years’ time.

KHMER PEOPLE IS IN WANT OF
A KHMER DEGAULLE
TO THE LIBERATION OF OUR COUNTRY

Declaration of general de Gaulle published in France in the clandestine papers on, June 23rd 1942.
The last veils behind which the enemy and traitors plotted against France have now been torn down. The issue at stake in this war is plain to all Frenchmen : independence or slavery. It is the sacred duty of every man to contribute all he can to the liberation of our country through the invader's defeat. There can be no solution and no future for us except through victory.
Yet this gigantic ordeal has shown the nation that the danger threatening its existence does not come solely from outside, and that victory without courageous and thorough internal reconstruction would not be real victory.
One moral, social, political and economic régime, paralysed by corruption, has abdicated in defeat. Another, arising from a criminal capitulation, is drunk with personal power. Both are condemned by the French people who, even as they unite for victory, are massing for revolution.
In spite of the fetters and gags of slavery, a thousand tokens, coming from the very heart of the nation, allow us to glimpse her desires and hopes. In the name of France, we proclaim these, and affirm the war aims of the French people.
We want our country to recover everything that belongs to her. For us, the end of the war means the restoration of complete integrity to France, the Empire and the national heritage ; it means that the nation must once again exercise absolute sovereignty over its own destiny. Any usurpation, whether from inside or beyond our frontiers, must be destroyed and swept away. As we mean to make France once again sole mistress of her fate, we shall likewise see to it that the French people alone are masters of their destiny. At the same time as they are freed from enemy oppression, all their internal liberties must be restored. Once the enemy is driven from our land, all French men and women will elect a National Assembly, which, in the full exercise of its sovereignty, will determine the country's future.
We seek retribution for every blow which has been, or is now, aimed at the rights, interests and honour of the French nation, and intend all such dangers to be eliminated. This means, first and foremost, that enemy leaders violating the laws of war to the detriment of French persons and property must be punished, together with the traitors who co-operate with them. Next, it means that the totalitarian system which incited, armed and hurled our enemies against us, as well as the systematic coalition of private interests which, in France, has worked against the interests of the nation, must simultaneously and for all time be overthrown.
The Vietcong will do everything in their power to win including stealing, using their wife as hooker, and playing double agents...The Vietcong have no concept of shame and remorse for their action!
Never let these Vietcong have a peace of mind as long as the Vietcong continue to have ambition toward Cambodia and Cambodian people! Free the Khmer Krom now!!!
Not free only the KHmers of Prey Nokor but all those in Srok Khmer as well.
Who will lead us for the final victory?
Neither comment nor protestation from Cambodian leader anymore about matter.
WE ALL SLAVE TO THE VIET CONG A HELPELESS, WEAKESE SLAVE JUST NOT BE KILLED BY poL pOT.
wHERE WILL WE FIND STRENG TO FREE OURSELF IF THE HOLD WORLD untac BELIVE WE ARE FREE NOW?
