I bet all people in those images if they are from the floating village - Chhnouk Trou of Kompong Chhnang or Chong Khneas of Siem Reap are not Khmer. They are Yuon.
I've been there a few times.
These people had polluted the lake for so long...
To get rid of Youn or so called Hanoi live illegally in Tonle Sap, just release a lot of crocodiles to eliminate them one by one. Otherwise, they won't go anywhere. Hun Xen allows them to stay in Cambodia, but Hanoi tries to persecute Khmer Krom. They don't allow Khmer Krom the right of their homeland. What is the stupid Khmer/Hanoi leader he is?
khmer people should start building nice, permanent homes along the water fronts and all the river. i think water front property is so beautiful, you have the water, the river breeze, not to mention the beautiful scenery, etc,... wake up, people, make it look nicer!
Tonle Sap Lake were destroyed by these illegal Viet immigrants who lived on the lake and the bank of the lake illegally, they had polluted the lake and destroying fishs population, Viet came in by boats and fishing canoe from their country always to Siem reap town, the same way they did to KAMPUCHEA KROM LANDS..
When there a water, there will be the Viet and Their Shit are floating with them.
Take a looks at Prey nokor (Sigon) river the Viet filled up with shits, but there are no shame to these Viet.These people are from HELL and they are making it just exactly the same where they were came from.
Cambodian authority and fish, wildlife ranger must do something with these people, given them some rule regulation to obey! these people polluted everythings, cambodia needed cleans environment...
