The Cambodian government again asked the public to keep alert to prevent the upcoming peak of dengue fever, which has killed two people nationwide so far this year, national media said on Sunday.

"We are concerned about the outbreak of the dengue fever nationwide due to the rainy season started earlier this year, which fueled the spread of the epidemic," Chinese-language newspaper Cambodia Sin Chew Daily quoted the health officials as saying.

The number of infected cases has increased to 900 during the first four months, almost two times the number in the same period of 2008, according to earlier figure of the Health Ministry.

Moreover, it was spreading and more children have infected at the provinces of Kampong Speu, Sihanoukville, Prey Veng, Kandal and Kampong Cham since March, the newspaper reported.

Usually, children under the 15 years old were the most fragile group to be attacked by the illness, and some 71 percent of the contaminated cases are to be children, it said.

The government has called on the people to clean their water- saving tanks frequently, kill mosquito eggs in their tanks with pesticide, and sleep in anti-mosquito nets.

According to official figures, 407 children out of a total of 39,851 infected cases of minors died of the disease in 2007, a rampant year for the disease in the kingdom.

Firstly, my hat go off to all the Khmer compatriots, scholars, intellectuals, and the Khmers around the world in and outside the Khmer Empire nation, who's tirelesly to helps fought for Khmer Krom to reach our independent in the near future.

Secondly, this coming June the fourth Khmer Krom and Khmer around the world will commemorated and observed the lost of Kampuchea Krom 60th aniversaries. To all Khmer around the world, please help participates in this events by seeking the information from Khmer Krom representative everywhere in your community.

Thirdly, my respectfully goes to the team of KI-Media. So far your team had done a tremendous job for the Khmer benefits and keep up the good works.

Fourthly, to all Khmer abroad please bring back The Fourth Factions or Paris Peace Accord unity strategy models.In the early ninety the only Youn pullout from Cambodia because we Khmers had united. Back then king Seyhanouk had all the power, popularity and was incharged. Every body respected him from Khmer perspective and the international community perspective. If I were him I would use this power and popularity to declare to the world community that the Khmer people still under the supression, aggression of Youn and Seam. In doing so, his reputations and credibility will be installed next to the Great Khmer King Jayavarman VII.
In the case of Kampuchea Krom, if we use this exact models we Khmer will once again liberated Kampuchea Krom from the Youn iron grips.And possibly Khmer Krom can declare their independent or reannexed to Cambodia who knows.

Respectively your,

Khmer Empire
