The Anlong Veng deputy district governor indicated that a private company plans to provide between $1 to $2 million to develop the former Khmer Rouge village, located in Oddar Meanchey province, next to the Thai border, into a tourist zone.
The Anlong Veng region was a hot battlefield in the past, and it also serves as a grave for the former KR leaders: Pol Pot, Son Sen, Ta Mok. The plan to transform this region into a tourist zone was in the work for a long time already.
Nhem En, the Anlong Veng deputy district governor and a former KR soldier and S-21 photographer, told RFA this Saturday about the name of the Siem Reap-based company that wants to fund the development of the former KR village: “The company belongs to Mrs. Em Sophary, she is a jewelry store owner in Angkor city (Siem Reap). She is cooperating with me, she has the money and owns a number of lands, and I have a document, together, we will (re)construct Anlong Veng …”
Nhem En added: “… and she plans, along with me, to drop $1 to $2 million to form a conservatory in all the former KR region in Anlong Veng. First, on my side, I want to build a museum, I want to re-organize Ta Mok’s house, Ta Pol Pot’s house, the graves of Ta Pol Pot, Ta Son Sen, and Ta Mok. In summary, all of them, I will create a conservatory out of all of them, and turn them into a tourist zone.

Massive Hydroelectric Dam: Let Thais' plan go through, the Southern Vietnam will go dry. Let me tell you from the Ecosystem point of view, when the Mekong water decrease--the Sea water will rush in the Mekong delta. The Vietnamese who depended on the fishery and water for rice fields. Ah Youns will die and go starving, and will to Cambodia begging for Foods.
Khmers can give ah Youn a hammer on the heads! LET THAIS' HYDROELECTRIC DAM GOES PLEASE. Cambodia will not be effective as much. Khmer watch out Youns will eat your dogs!
What will Thais build next? Is it possible for them to build a Nuclear Power Plant? Remember Chernobyl in the Ukraine?

I believe it is wrong to benefit any thing out of sufferings.If that benefit is to relieve any social deprived victims then encouragement should be praised.
Organisation such as RED CROSS should look at this proposal, not a private compny to build its empire by disgusting plan.What a heck of privatisation.Unbelievable.
