More villagers from a Banthey Mean Chey town have fallen ill after drinking toxic water from a local pond.

Provincial Clinic Director Dr. Chhum Vannarith says about 50 more people have exhibited symptoms from dizziness to vomiting to lethargy and have sought treatment.

No deaths have been reported from the mass poisoning, which affected more than 400 people in Malay town last week. The source of the supposed toxin has not yet been found, but health officials say tests have been sent to Japan and results are expected next week.

Prince Norodom Ranariddh’s new party has formed a committee to help control a massive protest expected in the near future.

Norodom Ranariddh Party officials say 10,000 protestors, many of them party members, will stage a protest against the Phnom Penh Municipal Court before the April commune elections.

Prince Norodom Chakrapon will head the eight-member committee. The protest stems from allegations that Prince Norodom Ranariddh sold the headquarters of his old party, Funcinpec.

Yep, that is Khmer Krom for you.
Eventhough they are mostly Yuon,
they bitch about Yuon, when in fact
they hate communist government.
They are nothing but idiots and
troublemakers.

The way things are going on in Cambodia, nobody can't rule anything in or out. All possibilities must be looked at. It's too easy and convenient for some to cyber-bully others...

Of course, 8:18AM hates KK because they have lived under the Yuon occupation for so long and recognised all the Yuon tricks. He fears KK would tarnish the image of his mother country by exposing all the dirty secrets of the Yuon government to the world. It's understandable from his standpoint.
