A Self-destructive Trait


Alternatives Watch – 20viii09

A SELF-DESTRUCTIVE TRAIT

Cambodia clings to a trait that has proved to be arguably self-destructive. For whatever reason, Khmers fight it out among themselves to the end; yet, when facing foreign challengers they become submissive, if not passive.

There seems to be a need for prime minister Hun Sen to display his undisputed power by bashing his critics. His latest boast is that his army can take full control of Phnom Penh in just two hours, leaving his opponents no room to hide. The court he controls has sent them into hiding, exile, or forced dissembling apologies. His security forces are mainly for cracking down demonstrations and evicting the poor from their land targeted for redevelopment.

Conversely, he displays enormous tolerance to foreign adversaries. He agrees with Thailand that the border dispute is to be resolved bilaterally and peacefully, allowing it to drag on, if not inconspicuously escalating. On the eastern front, the border demarcation has been left to Vietnam who is willing to provide cartographical and global positioning system technologies, softwares, and installation of border posts. As a majority shareholder in a new joint commercial venture, Cambodia Angkor Air, Hun Sen has left the whole business operation to Vietnam who appoints all Vietnamese to the entire board of directors. Even the Khmer language is missing from the airline’s website, which contains only Vietnamese and English.

The mass murder of the Khmer people was so undemanding that it must have made Pol Pot feel invincible to the extent that he would treat his arch-enemy Vietnam with contempt. Perhaps the snap Vietnamese military campaign that ousted the whole Khmer Rouge regime within weeks serves as reminder to Khmer leaders to keep their brutality for their own citizens.

The internal hostilities in the Lon Nol republican regime signify the urge within the elite to defeat each other, even when facing external threats. Their continuous conflicts marginalised their effort to fight two fronts in the country: the North Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge troops, which made their downfall predictable.

Sihanouk also exerted his unequivocal power onto his people. He orchestrated the national congress – legally it represented no one and had no judicial power – to summarily convict and sentence his opponents to death. The image of the opponents being shot by firing squads was filmed and shown in movie houses throughout the country. While the persecution of his Khmer opponents was definite and decisive, Sihanouk’s vital foreign policies were essentially based on hope. He backed and actively assisted Hanoi in the Vietnam War only with a hope that, upon their victory in South Vietnam, the communists would respect Cambodia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. He had no ground plan to ensure Hanoi would honour its promise to respect and leave Cambodia out of its control.

This self-destructive trait is not limited to the above cases; the urge to beat their own kind at any price has been overwhelming for centuries. If there were some tolerance for Khmers and less blind submission to foreign adversaries, Cambodia could be pleasantly different.

How many tricks they have played in Cambodia?

Recent leaflets spread in Phnom Penh is really smart!

All these are considered political tricks of CPP government
to help Cambodia, or help Vietnam?
1. Supplemental border treaty in 1995, how fair of this mutual
treaty while Cambodia is too small and too weak?
2. Demarcation & border-pole sponsoring by Vietnam authority
3. Listing sensitive conflict of Preah Vihea temple with Thailand
to keep this status quo ongoing. Scholars asked questions “why
listing Preah Vihea for recognition of Unesco without valuing
the importance of ICJ?
4. Khmer Rouge trial of few leaders...ECCC has experienced
partiality criticism about its integrity and independence.

Now after Hun Sen’s public speech praised the presence of
Vietnam in Cambodia is to liberate, not to invade which he
affirmed ”this is the fact, this is the reality”.

August 18, 2009 leaflets of condemning Hun Sen as traitor and
Vietnam’s presence in January 7, 2009 as invasion occured. It has
been politically articulated by high police commissioner Touch
Naroat and explicitly intimidates opposition and all Cambodian
dissents.
Please, weigh, evaluate and measure this leaflets trick? Does it benefit
Cambodia or benefit Vietnam?

cambodia should have a law from now on that says no making treaty with youn and siem thieves, period, when cambodia is vulnerable due to internal conflict, etc! this way, the neighboring thieves youn and siem cannot take advantage of cambodia again! they have to wait until cambodia is at peace with stability and prosperity, then can treaty with cambodia be accepted. therwise, void them if they took advantage of khmer affairs! god bless cambodia.

Mr hun sen is a coward to make such unrealistic comments. There is no way that he can order his socalled cambodian army to take over phnom penh in two hours. this man is lying through his teeth. What a coward this man is. If he dares to do what he say he will be met with insurmountable obstacles on the streets of phnom penh. Millions of khmer people will take to the street to fight mr hun sen to defend their rights and liberty. Mr hun sen you are out of touch with reality.

You know what else is a self destructive trait? Gossiping about others like plenty of you do. Do you not have your own life to focus on? Do you have that much free time on your hand to analyze what Hun Sen does right or wrong?

A person that has something going in his life wouldn't have that much time to focus on other people's lives. Only those that has nothing going on for himself would spend that much time talking about other people's lives.

By this, majority of you who spend your time talking shit about other people are really pathetic and sad. And there are many pathetic and sad people on this site. Got nothing to do with their life so they spend their time talking shit about others and that is supposed to make them feel important or worthy of something.

Pitiful!

What is ridiculous is you lol. Millions of Khmer will take to the street? You must be one of the few idiots that have been brainwashed by your SRP master. Even the US presidential inauguration has less than a million people at the capital hills. How the fuck do you get millions of Khmer to the street?

A fucking idiot like yourself talks out of your ass all the time. Phnom Penh has about 2 million people. So the whole city would rise up and take to the street? We're not even talking politically possible, just talking logistically, it's impossible already.

Motherfucker, keep dreaming because that is all that it will be, dreaming until the day you die lol.

i could careless about the life of hun and sihanouk. whatever they do, did, and done about their lives is none of mine/our business.

Mi sompoeung lop, listen! this is about khmer national interest - people, nation, & country. these individuals were honored to lead the country - to bring peace, prosperity, and glory for the people and county. they have destroyed everything about the country - they had crushed khmer spirits "Khmer empire". in reality, norodumb sihanorouk is one of the low-life creatures on earth.

under sihanorouk, khmer people were made to believe that the sun was rising from the west! don't believe, ask your parents and grandparents (if they are still alive). i'm sure by now they should at least shade some lights about this norodumb.

go on, keep licking until the sun sets!

What the fuck does it matter? Like what you and your monkey friends have to say matters to anyone except yourself? People like you like to stick to your own kind and stroke each other cocks. Try not to ejaculate on your friend's faces, you faggots lol.

The reason why you morons keep posting shits is because it makes you feel what you say is of importance where in reality, it is another piece of garbage that no one would even read for real consideration. Only your own kind would read it and approve. That is why it's called mutual masturbation. You stroke theirs and they stroke yours. ;) so keep stroking, you anal drag queens.

The extremist political views of Ung Bun Ang is only feeding the minds of these clueless extremists and low class like this poster 8:12AM.

Pictures of the politicians shook hands with each others even with the enemies, are social relations with one country to another countries.

We the world are not animals, we have to engage even with the enemies like Youn in a diplomat manner.

Ung Bun Ang may be educated person but his ideology is too extreme to right. He will be the same as Pol Pot then at the end he will be killed by Youn like Pol Pot was.
When the country is under a quiet invasion by Youn, the extreme ideology will be a self destructive.

You are the only one here that make sense. When Arafat shook hands with the Israelis leader before any negotiation took place, doesnt mean that he was traitor to his country and people. Likewise, when Samdach Ta shook hands with Viet leaders doesnt mean that he has sold his country and his people out to the Viet. In contrast, Ah Hun Sen is a Viet dog installed to power by Viet to serve Viet interest. This self serving and power hungry individual could careless about Cambodia and her people. There is no comparison here.

Ah Ung Bun Ang is a Viet dog in disguise who like to smear Samdech Ta reputation.

Dog bless Cambodia

Tell us, the date/month/year when Youn left Cambodia since Youn and Siam joined controlled Cambodia?
We know Siam was defeated by French but Youn were installed by French to administrate Cambodia and Laos. Youn can enter Cambodia and take all products from Cambodia every time.

Youn have always been in Srok Khmer and they didn't need to ask our permission to enter or invade Cambodia. That's why I asked you to tell us the date of Youn left Cambodia.

At this century you still practice the barbarian, P'nong languages uncivilized and how can you blame Hun Sen? Look at your languages? Too low below shit.

How about Ung Bun Ang's behavior?

If Ung Bun Ang was Sihanouk back then before and during Cold War and after, what will he do?

Did Ung Bun Ang know today troubles have been carried from the past?

Did Ung Bun Ang remember Youn and Siam ruled Cambodia?

Did Ung Bun Ang remember if King Ang Doung didn't ask French for helps, Youn and Siam would had never left?

Did Ung Bun Ang know Youn used tactics to get back into Cambodia through French colony, then Youn becoming the 2nd online after French to rule IndoChina?

Did Ung Bun Ang remember since then Youn created "Youn Rouge" in 1900's and recruited Khmers and Laos to kick the French out?

Did Ung Bun Ang remember the King was born at the time French-Youn ruled Cambodia?

Did Ung Bun Ang know Cambodia, Laos and Kampuchea Krom're on the french map belonged to Youn?

Did Ung Bun Ang know Sihanouk was born and was chosen to be a teen puppet King under French-Youn controlled?

Did Ung Bun Ang know Mao Tseng Tung threated Cambodia for flirting with the US, then Lon Nol regime popped up with the US, and so new Khmer Rouge popped up with China?

They did then did Ung Bun Ang know Youn have never left Cambodia?

Does this extremist far right Khmer, Ung Bun Ang know that the Vietnamese have been living among us Khmers and we didn't know who or who?

What is your fucking solutions Ung Bun Ang instead of blaming the King and other Khmer leaders?

Did Ung Bun Ang read how the Youn killed the entire Chinese army along with their own Youn at the valley near red river?

Now does Ung Bun Ang understand China used this similar strategy to drive Vietnam to hell by her DAMS? If China cannot stop these barbarians Youn from destroying Cambodia by force why not controlling water?

Now your turn you bastard Ung Bun Ang? Tell us what is your war strategy besides fucking and bashing the King?

These far right extremists don't believe diplomat manner such as shake hands should be adopted, they think when we meet our enemy Youn we should cut their throats.

UNDER AGE CHILD SEX

ACID ATTACK ON TAT MARINA
Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime had committed acid attack.
"On December 5, 1999, Tat Marina, age 16, was severely disfigured in an acid attack in Phnom Penh. The attack was allegedly committed by Khun Sophal, the wife of a senior government official, Svay Sitha, because she was angry her husband had a sexual relationship with Tat Marina. Neither Khun Sophal nor those suspected of being her accomplices in the attack were brought to justice. Intense media publicity compelled the Phnom Penh Municipal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Khun Sophal for attempted murder, but the police claimed that they could not locate her, although journalists reported that she was living at home as usual."

TORTURE AND MURDER ON PRAK SITHA WHILE IN CUSTODY BY MISNISTRY OF INTERIOR OFFICIAL
Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime had committed torture and murder.
"On the night of January 16, 2003, a street youth named Prak Sitha was beaten to death at the Ministry of Interior (MOI) headquarters after he was arrested and detained by off-duty MOI officers on suspicion of theft. His body - bearing numerous injuries to the head, torso, arms, and legs - was dumped at a Phnom Penh pagoda the following morning by ministry officers, in violation of police regulations regarding deaths in custody. No criminal charges were filed in connection with this death. In December 2004, the case was cited by the UN secretary-general's special representative for human rights in Cambodia - who stated that Prak Sitha died at the ministry "following beatings by a known police officer" - as an example of a "consistent and continuing pattern of impunity" in Cambodia."

Mean Sokchea was detained by the police overnight but was then released, allegedly after intervention by Hing Bun Heang. Put Samphor's family received US$2,700 from Mean Sokchea, and the police told them that their daughter was shot while authorities were chasing robbers."

What a silly story? People are getting smarter this day through the internet they communicate with each others. They learned from reading, watching news and from histories then they analyze. Your opion is yours, but it does not mean you are right.

If leading a nation is so simple like fucking each other in bed, every nation would have not faced war or faced destructions at all.

If those Varaman Kings were not too busy fucking thousand of the Apsara topless women, but begun to build the nation like China does its Dams, the empire was not easily collapsed.

The empire was already collapsed since those fucking Varaman Kings enjoyed their Apsara topless.
Why blame King Sihanouk who was just born under the French-Youn controlled?

Is Jayavaraman 7 really powerful?
Powerful in what? His son screwed up the empire and so were the rest of fucking Varaman Kings. I don't see how could those Varaman Kings were good in governing the country besides collecting all young girls and hang them up on the wall for those sex offenders (Varaman Kings) to enjoy.

Vietnamese keep their country shut, no news to outsiders, who know how many million indigenuous were burned alive by the Viets if the Viets also killed their own people?

You don't have to show your support for the Viets indirectly, many Khmers knew.

You know why Khmers hate Viets too much? Because they are barbarian expansionists.
