As it was done every year, the 12 Khmer Krom associations in Cambodia will commemorate of June 4, the loss of Kampuchea Krom in front of Wat Botum pagoda in Phnom Penh.
On June 4, 1949, the French colonial administration transferred the ownership of this province (Kampuchea Krom) to Vietnam. According to Ang Chanrith, the executive director of the KKHRO NGO, the municipality, the Ministry of Interior and the Royal Palace gave the green light to this demonstration. “The king even sent us $2,000 to prepare for this ceremony commemorating the memories of Cambodians who died during this painful period,” he stressed. Yoeung Sin, the leader of the Khmer Krom Monks Association, added that the king will send Princess Sisowath Monipong Pongneary to act as his representative (during the ceremony). The organizers expect to see 4,000 people participating in the event. Ang Chanrith said that this will also be an opportunity to renew the call for the release of five Khmer Krom monks jailed in Vietnam.

Dear Heng Soy,
Could you explain why the Commemoration will be June 4th while on January 4, 1949, the French colonial administration transferred the ownership of this province (Kampuchea Krom) to Vietnam? Why don't we choose January 4 instead of June 4?
Good luck to all my beloved Khmer people.
I think the typer is wrong with this, not January 4..of course they will celebrate in June 4.
Good for all Cambodian people to commemorate this lossing day. Our current Cambodian government can enjoy this commemoration if this government is independent from Vietnam.
We have to understand that commemoration is not striving to take back those lossing land, but to instruct Cambodian people about their past history in order to be aware of present and future.
So I wish our government should support and participate with this important commemoration on behalf of an independent state.
We will commemorate this important day; and we are still good friend with neighbor especially Vietnam.
Dissagree, we got too many holidays
here already. We'll never get out
of poverty with too many
commemoration's days.
Dear All,
Our apologies for the typo error. The correct date is as you all pointed out is June 4.
Thank you again,

The fucken Vietcong will always try to make Khmer people forget everything about the brutal Vietcong oppression, but the fucken Vietcong kept forgetting that even with time painful memory can't be forgotten by Khmer people!
All the fucken Vietcong will be remembered for all the brutality they have done to the Khmer people!!
Actually, from seeing how ah Khmer-
Yuons behaved over decades, I
thank God for the French giving
back everything to Vietnam.
Otherwise, it will all be
destroyed by losers.
