A reliable source of information contended that Vietnam recently built a road that intruded more than 10 kilometers deep into Cambodian territory of Mondulkiri province. Cambodia's Border Affairs Commission [CBAC] headed by Var Kim Hong that plans to soon go to the border to inspect the situation of the border markers installing process has had no reaction to this report. Moreover, the provincial authorities seemed to be trying to cover up this news, an act that has generated varied opinions because this is not the first time that Vietnam has bulldozed land and cut roads into Cambodian territory.
[Opposition MP] Son Chhay said that the Vietnamese authorities frequently built roads along the border, some of them straying deep into Cambodian territory. The construction work has been going on day and night, said the MP who personally witnessed these activities of the Vietnamese authorities. Son Chhay went on to say that the road building activities that encroached into Cambodian territory were in full swing in the provinces of Mondulkiri and Ratanakiri. MP Son Chhay said that he used to seek intervention from the government, especially from Var Kim Hong's CBAC but has received no positive responses as nothing has been done to stop these encroaching activities of the Vietnamese authorities.
It is claimed that the provincial authorities, especially Deputy Provincial Governor Keo Han--who reportedly crosses back and forth between Cambodia and Vietnam two-three times a week--have been trying to cover up these road bulldozing activities in Mondulkiri province at this time. This has elicited more suspicion because the local authorities who are aware of such incident should have reported to the specialized department so that the latter would also be aware of what was taking place at the border. However, Kev Han instead has pretended not to know anything while it is reported that he has been making frequent trips to Vietnam but has feigned ignorance of what was going on.
The CBAC chairman said that Cambodia had plans to install the border markers with the Vietnamese side along the borderline in the country's northeast encompassing the provinces of Mondulkiri and Ratanakiri and this operation at points already agreed upon would be completed by the next dry season.
CBAC Chairman Var Kim Hong affirmed that two teams of CBAC technical experts will be dispatched to Ratanakiri and Mondulkiri provinces in December this year.
"Two teams will go to Mondulkiri and Ratanakiri. We have set goals for them to achieve. If one team encounters any problem in one place we will change its objectives.. . and let the other team take over. Besides, what we have already agreed upon we will complete it in the coming dry season," said Var Kim Hong.
In September 2007 the Cambodian and Vietnamese border commissions reached agreement with each other and succeeded in planting five border markers along the border of Ratanakiri opposite the Vietnamese province of Kontum.
Li Sovannara, commander of the border defense battalion of the Ratanakiri provincial forces, confirmed: "We have managed to plant only five markers, No. 17 to 21. On our side these markers are in Andong Meas district and on the Vietnamese side they are in the adjacent province of Kantum."
The CBAC chairman, however, did not specify how many markers are remaining to be planted or when they are going to be planted between now and the next dry season. However, he affirmed that there were some disagreements that have stalled the process, especially regarding the locations of the border markers at the international border gate in O Ya Dav district, Ratanakiri province, and at Dak Dam in Mondulkiri province.
Son Chhay, president of the National Assembly's Committee No. 5 from the Sam Rainsy Party quota, also affirmed: "We observed that Vietnam was building a road along the border around the clock when we went there in January earlier this year and that this road trespassed upon Cambodia. Because of this we are very worried that the marker planting in these two provinces would be problematic because the planting was made without the participation of the National Assembly's commission and some national media. There is suspicion that the operation might not be correctly carried out."
Cambodia started planting historic border markers with the Vietnamese side for the first time in September 2006 at the international border gate of Bavet in Svay Rieng province as part of a project to install more than 300 markers along the 1,270-kilometer borderline with Vietnam. So far, according to Son Chhay, only 20 percent of this operation has been done.

This is Why! I wish all of those Mother F's current government would just die, and let people more freedom to protest against such arrogant and invasion. The governor of the provincial should be slashed and mark the blood at the boundary.
Ah Youns chong rai!
Ah HUN SEN REGIME CHONG RAI YO NIS!!
WTF, This is free road for us, you idiots. 10km worth about $1.5M.
Thank you, brother (Yuon)!!
Long Live the great Vietnam, and God blesses you for your generosities!
A changrai 10:20 AM that is free road for your mama!
Please go walk on it when they are done with it. It will be great for you. Thws. Sdosh tuk mod dak a kbod chiat. uh nah vey, muy nis chia a bonkob te. Kom mok tvo klun khmer, mot a-eng suiy cheng aich chke kmian a-nar chol chod sdab te!
We are hopeless for Hun Sen government to confront will all wrong doings of Vietnam. Cambodian current Sam Kok leaders: Hun Sen, Heng Samrin and Chea Sim cannot betray their promises with Vietnam (their forever boss).
In order to continue exploiting Cambodia, Vietnam help remain reputation for these three leaders in front of Cambodian people through the propaganda of economic cooperation and mutual assistance.
But in reality, like MP Son Chhay investigate, the road building is a plan of Vietnam to violate more land in Cambodia. It is also in the case of triangle development in Golden Triangle area that Cambodia gave full rights to Vietnam to operate their own land.
Cambodian peoples have to change Hun Sen or these 3 sam kok leaders have to sacrifice their power for the sake of full independence in Cambodia.
KY
Wrong, 11:23, this is just a stupid political scenery. Everyone knows we are building interstate highway everywhere. No big deal.
Calm down, 10:37. No one have been shot, alright.
KY
You have been voicing out quite a fair bit for the interest of our people.You have expreesed that the current government needs to be voted out, seriously we have to find way to assist with upcoming election.
Also,external pressure from international community is vital
while cambodians now are more aware of undisirable exercises of power of current government.Lobby for more involvement from international human right and the world Bank is crucial. A push for commitment of our king to fullfil duty of care according to prescribed national constitution is so important, if cambodia is wished to remain kingdom.
Hoping to get these three SAM KOK to change perception of ruling is hopeless because Cambo-VN treaty has been illegally extended.

Sure Neang Sa, we should not only bark, but we have to act out and unite we remain strong.

You are stupid not to understand international law that border requires white zone, so when VN build such road on Cambodian border line, the white zone must move inside Cambodia far.
If you are not looking for interests for Cambodian nation, you should shut up your mouth in here.
I am not a kind of selling my head to any body including SRP, but I say it from bottom of my heart as a Khmer younger generation.
KY
Nope, building road on the white Zone or gray zone doesn't move anything because interstate road supposed to cut through all zones, you idiot. How else would anyone travel across the border without road.
12:56PM
You are not Khmer because this reality you still see that Youn is good with Khmer. The road is building inside VN, not for Cambodia, but it is near the line of the white zone.
But when Cambodian authority neglect to oppose VN's project, it means Youn Var Kimhong is agreeing this encroachment.
KY
Oh well! Cambodian national interest is falling on deaf ear again!
AH SVA KIMHONG never seems to know anything regarding Cambodian sovereignty!
AH SVA KIMHONG continues to play deaf, stupid, and all the above! So AH SAV KIM HONG doesn't know how talk or know anything anymore beside running around like a headless chicken to please the Vietcong master and to confuse Cambodian people as if he is going to do something?
Don't worry AH SVA and one day the best technology in the world will be used to verify every square inch of Cambodian land and borders and this time you will be called upon to talk and if you don't a hot coal will be poured down your fucken throat until you talk the truth about the Vietcong aggression on Cambodian sovereignty!
All eyes are on AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave mother fucker and AH SVA KIMHONG S.O.B! No peace to these mother fuckers!
Oh zip it, will ya (1:07). You always resort to name calling whenever you lose an argument.
Anyway, You are paranoid over nothing here. As I've said, interstate road supposed to go through States, can't you see that? If what you said is true, then if Vietnam should extended this road to Thailand, then they would divided us in two. Now, what type of bullshit is that? I would never worry about road. However, if they were to build their residential housing in the gray zone, then that would be a concern. Do you see what I am getting at?

Hun Sen's Leadership: border land & Cambodian younger generation
Dear Beloved Countrymen,
Today is the second anniversary of the extension for legal control of Vietnam over Cambodia legalized by a group of traitor leaders installed by the Vietnam in the 1979, i.e. the Supplemental Treaty signed by Hun Sen on October 15, 2005 which in its spirit to validate the 1985 illegal treaty back to life.
It is the day that we must remember and witness as long as we live from generation to generation that our territorial integrity and sovereign are sold to another country by our leader.
However, I personally never recognize the present day leader, Hun Sen, as the leader of Cambodia. In my eyes, he is just an unconstitutional leader, a traitor and an untruthful person.
This is because he has come to power constitutionally wrong by amending the national constitution for his greedy power by means of the packet vote after national election in 2003.
With his unconstitutional Prime Ministership, he irresponsibly and authoritatively signed the illegal Supplemental Treaty on 15 October 2005 with Vietnam in order to validate the 1985 illegal treaty which violates the spirit of our national constitution and the 1991 Paris Peace Accord and with this he does undermine our national independency.
In order to get the public trust, he always keeps saying that all the Treaties signed in the 1980s do not make Cambodia loses her land, yet Cambodia will gain land from Vietnam through them because Vietnam are pity on us. However, he never keeps his promise and dare to face the reality. He politically never accepts any offer of evidences from our nationalists, scholars, and our beloved people who live along the border who witness the daily invasion. And more importantly, he never keeps his word. I do remember that I asked him to bet life with me in the case of territorial integrity in October 2005 after he signed the illegal Supplemental Treaty 15 October 2005 with Vietnam and take this opportunity, I would like to tell him that the bet is still valid and I do urge him to accept it in order to bring about the truth and bring back national unity, full independency, and pride as a Nation, otherwise I will never recognize him as a Cambodian leader or my leader forever but just a traitor and an untruthful person.
Let’s morn together and condemn this act of Hun Sen!

For those that are arguing that the VN is not tresspassing into our land should read again.
Read between the lines. It is said that the Road and Marker are inside our land. Which means the VN is inching their way into our Motherland.
If the marker was in VN turf and the road is inside our land, then that would not be Tresspassing. But because the Marker is inside our land, that is tresspassing.
I advise everyone to read carefully before responding.
Cambodia has a clear define border marker since 1953 which Cambodia got her independent from France! And why do the fucken Vietcong have to sign the border treaty of 1985 for what and all the subsequent supplement border treaties with AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave while Cambodian people still living under the Vietcong occupation?
The White Zone is the Thaicong and the Vietcong invention! Cambodia does not have White Zone! I repeat that Cambodia do not have the so called White Zone! There is no such thing as the fucken White Zone!
It is too bad that the fucken Vietcong and the fucken Thaicong want to use their fucken roads and their fucken highways as their border markers!
Well, the French can't decided our border. They are not our boss. We'll make our own decision here.
To 2:25AM!
Fuck you Vietcong bitch! Your Vietcong slave government has made many stupid decisions over and over again at the expense of Cambodian sovereignty! What is wrong with you! A few Vietcong slave fools try to make the dumbest decision for 14 million Cambodian people? Hell no!
All of your fucken stupid decision can be overturned and all the fucken roads and highways built by the Thaicong and the Vietcong can be destroyed and move to the right location as stated in Cambodian map of 1953!
Cambodian map of 1953, my ass. That is why we nearly lost everything, remember?
who is "we"? what "we" are you talking baout, fool? There is NO "we".
you are youn trojant. You are a khmer-youn who completely sold your head to yuon. Go double check with your mother, mee khmer-youn kbot chiert!!
