Cambodia goes on alert ahead of South Korean president's visit

Phnom Penh - Cambodian authorities have sharply stepped up security ahead of a visit by South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun, including sending more than 30 specially trained intervention police to the northern tourist town of Siem Reap, police said Wednesday. Roh is scheduled to attend an annual summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in Hanoi on November 18 and 19 before visiting Cambodia from November 19 to 22.

Roh's talks with the nation's top politicians, including Prime Minister Hun Sen, are expected to be aimed at increasing economic cooperation between the two nations. He is also scheduled to visit the Angkor Wat temple complex and inaugurate a cultural exhibition in Siem Reap.

The chief of the criminal police section at the Ministry of Interior, Mok Chito, said 34 so-called Flying Tiger special police had been sent to Siem Reap Tuesday to begin securing the area.

"They will ensure the security of people coming to join the visit and ensure stability," Mok Chito said.

Additional motorbikes, police trucks and weapons had also been sent, he said.

South Korea is a major donor and investor in Cambodia and has increasingly sought to strengthen bilateral relations with the impoverished nation in recent years.

HI KI-MEDIA AND ALL !

AFTER ONE WEEK OF TENSE AND RUDE DISCUSSION BETWEEN " THE PATRIOT & OWN SHADOW", OUR SURVEY CAME TO A FINAL CONCLUSION AS FOLLOWS:
1- ON KI-MEDIA PROFESSIONALISM OF CREATING AND REPORTING ABOUT POLITICS IN CAMBODIA:
-(i)FIRSTLY, YOUR REPORTS ARE RELEVANT AND CONFORM WHAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN IN THE PRESS ABOUT CAMBODIA POLITICS. THAT IS GOOD FOR ALL OF US KHMER LIVING INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE MOTHERLAND.
-(ii)IN YOUR TITLE IN ORANGE, YOU INTENDED TO SHOW YOUR POLITICAL PARTY' S CHOICE. IT IS NOT A PROBLEM BECAUSE FREEDOM OF BELIEF AND IT IS YOUR POLITICAL RIGHT TO SUPORT MR. SAM RAINSY' S PARTY.
-(iii) IN ORDER TO BE MORE PROFESSIONAL IN THE NET, IS KI-MEDIA LOOKING FOR A NEW DIRECTION?

2- ON KI-MEDIA READERS AND SUPPORTERS:

(i) WE CONCLUDED THAT MOST OF THE READERS AND SUPPORTERS LIVE ABROAD:US, AUSTRALIA, CANADA ETC...
(ii) DURING OUR ONE WEEK SURVEY, WE USED STRONG LANGUAGES AND WE APOLOGY IF WE MAY OFFENCE BUT IT WAS PURELY INTEND TO TEST THE WATER AND GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE KNOWLEDGE, EDUCATION AND CULTURE OF ALL OF US.
(iii) THE SURVEY SHOWS THERE ARE TWO CATEGORIES OF READERS:
- THE FIRST GROUP OF READERS ARE VERY SERIOUS ABOUT THEIR COMMENTS, VERY POLITE AND BALANCED VIEWS: THEY ARE CULTIVATED AND EDUCATED... BRAVO!
THEIR VIEWS COULD BE AS A LESSON FOR ALL AND THE SAKE OF THE COUNTRY. THEY ARE BRAVE AND PATRIOTIC. CAMBODIA IS PROUD OF THEM!!!!
- THE SECOND GROUP OF READERS ARE MORE OR LESS PATHETIC ABOUT GIVING COMMENTS ABOUT POLITICS IN CAMBODIA: TOO MUCH PASSION OF HATE BECAUSE OF POLITICS AND NOT ENOUGH MATURITY, EDUCATION, KNOWLEDGE AND CULTURE. THEY MUST LEARN ABOUT THE SOCIAL WAY OF BEING A RESPECTABLE KHMER WITH OUR OWN WAY OF SAVOIR-VIVRE, OF COURTESY AND KINDNESS. PLEASE TRY TO FORGET ABOUT THE NEGATIVE ASPECT OF LIFE ABROAD AND GET MORE IN CONTACT WITH THE PREACHING AND LEARNING OF BUDDHISM. YOU WILL BE MORE RESPECTFUL BY YOUR OWN ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIETY.

IN CONCLUSION, WE AGAIN APOLOGY FOR THE ONE WEEK SURVEY THAT WE CONCLUDED RIGHT NOW.

LONG LIVE TO CAMBODIA AND CAMBODIAN LIVING INSIDE OR OUTSIDE!

STRONG LINKS AND BONDS OF SOLIDARITY BETWEEN KHMER AND KHMER!

MUTUAL RESPECT FOR THE SAKE OF THE MOTHERLAND!

Yes! I do believe the day will come when AH HUN SEN own men will killed him just like AH DAP CHHOUN killed by his men too!

Some of AH HUN SEN's men that I knew always say that time is not right yet because there are so many Vietcong double agents in Cambodia when big thing happen and there must be an exit plan in place!

To the survey bastard! Why don't you take your fucken survey of Cambodian people in Cambodia and find out of how many Cambodian people like AH HUN SEN as their leader?
