Original report from Phnom Penh
18 August 2009
On a tour through Southeast Asia where he has already secured the release of an American in custody in Burma, US Senator Jim Webb said in Phnom Penh Tuesday he wanted to see “more American investment in Cambodia.”
Webb, who met with Commerce Minister Cham Prasidh and opposition leaders and was expected to meet with Prime Minister Hun Sen, is on a five-nation swing through the region.
Cambodia was only recently taken off a US trade blacklist of Marxist-Leninist countries, paving the way for more private investment.
Webb, a Democrat from Virginia, is chairman of the East Asia and Pacific Affairs Subcommittee.
The Foreign Relations subcommittee oversees regional organizations such as Asean and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation.

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."

For those who wrote long sentence like a whole book I will not have time to read it. Make it short and understandable. If you could write well I would suggest write a book. This a smart person would do.

Don't be so selfish, Cambodian people need a lot assistant from donors, investment countries to help develop infrastructures, education, economy, social lives, jobs.
New Phally
fucking u.s get the fuck out of my country I don't fucking need the usa fucking goverment!! you nothing but a fucking trouble maker! cambodia now have peace and stability then you think, fucking samrainsy and all of these opposition too! fucking american can't even help them seft right now, gang, drug, thug, economy, education and everything else is fucking up in the usa today! so please get the fuck out of cambodia you america son of bitch!!
FYI, the US helps only Vietnam not Cambodia.
Jim Web dumped his American wife to marry the Vietanmese woman and he switched from Rep to Dem, because he knew the Dem would have won. Now he is here in SEA because the DAMS in China, and the Vietnamese are paranoid.
Does Jim Webb know the Vietnamese took Khmer's resin plantation in Kg Cham? Does Jim Webb know the Vietnamese took control of electricity and telecommunication in Cambodia? Does he know the Vietnamese come to take all product like rice and money from tourists who visited Angkor Wat from Cambodia?
Cambodia has not been freed from this Vietnamese expansionism since in 1600's, yet.
I thank King Sihanouk for choosing China as a friend. It is a great strategy that China controls water. Chinese can become Khmers and loves Khmers but Vietnamese are evils.
The war of pol pot in 1978 against vietnam is not the war between khmer and Vietnamese. But a war conducted by Communist China against the vietnam by using the khmer territory and the blood of the Khmers. Pol pot who passed military alliances with Pekin was constrained and forced by the Chinese to do the war against vietnam. Because China does not tolerate that a pacified vietnam, reunified challenged him.
But the Khmers were not stupid. The Khmers Rouge did not fight the Vietnamese ones as believed the Chinese. The Khmers rouge chose to flee after a fight pretence. In a week, the war is finished to the big damn of Pekin!
The Chinese and the Vietnamese ones are and will always be hereditary enemies since the birth of the Vietnamese's country . They never stopped being done the war.
The Khmers and the Vietnamese ones are not hereditary enemies, even themselves they arrive that they do not agree and fight beetwen them as the thais and the Khmers in this moment. The hate of the Vietnamese to the Khmers's country are the work of the Khmers of Chinese origins who consider that Cambodia belongs for them and that they must follow the political xenophobic and racist of the Chinese of the ethnic group Hans to the Cambodia against the Vietnamese their hereditary enemies.
The Vietnamese are too arrogant people but when they are about to be drowned by China's DAMS, now they blamed China. The Khmers of Chinese decent are more faithful to their own country, Cambodia than the Khmers of Viet decent who betray their own Country, Cambodia.
New Phally,
I am happy to see you are getting smarter and wiser.
You are right Camboia needs to play games with both China and US.
But don't forget to tell your boss thay Jim Webb just dumped his American wife and married the Vietnamese woman who vows to fight China's Dams. Don't forget to ask Jim Webb "Mr. Senator. Were you blind when the quiet invasion in Cambodia by your wife country, Vietnam?"
With the Chinese businessmen and the corporations of Chinese business to Cambodia hide themselves sometimes Pekin's secret agents. Their missions to Cambodia this is to destabilize politically the khmer kingdom, to divide the Khmers, while exploiting and while propagating the hate of the Vietnamese of the Khmers of Chinese origin. Because the CPP is an ally of the vietnam the hereditary enemyof china.
Pekin is alway afraid of the constitution in south Asia the independent and nationalist countries and anti-colonialist Chinese.
The parties of khmer oppositions that did not well understand the strategic game conducted by pekin lost without stop of the elections and instead of helping their country to rebuild itself take a politics of opposition sterile and of confrontations with the government and that has harmful consequences on the economical development of the khmer country. The SRP and The royalist party are they able to escape and go out victoriously of the traps stretched by the Chinese strategists?
Pol Pot was victim of the strategic game of the Pekin's stategists against Hanoi. The opposition party SRP goes to follow the example of Pol Pot?
The pure Khmers are not Anti-vietnamese. The Khmers of Chinese origin of the ethnic group of the Hans that come to colonize the country of the Khmers are racists and of the true Anti-vietnamese as Duch the director of S-21.
Vietnamese are feeling guilty for trying to destroy Cambodia. Everyone who born in Cambodia are Khmers, but the Khmers of Chinese decent are more faithful to their own country than the Khmers of Viet decent. That's the facts. Now you see what comes around goes around?
Why did not your bastard Khmers of Viet decent try to protect the country and stop siding with foreigners like Vietnam to destroy your own country? It didn't matter your parents or great ..great parents were from Vietnam, Cambodia is your birth land, but you chose to betray her. Look what is going to happen? BLOOD and BLOOD. Let's al be dead by the DAMS of China as long as those KHmers of Viet decent keep spying for foreigner Vietnam.
Cambodia belongs to all the Khmers. All true khmer patriot has the duty to denounce and to prevent that Cambodia does not become a clash land between Chinese and Vietnamese. And the war between Chinese and Vietnamese does not do to flow the khmer blood. let us avoid the errors of the past.
welcome to cambodia, america. please help build airports and highways in cambodia. god bless cambodia.
5:54 AM,
Our ancestors created the nation for us and whoever born in Cambodia are Khmers. But our Khmers of Youn decent many of them betray their very own land, Cambodia and look up to the foreigner country like Vietnam as their own. That is why we are so destructive. I prefer to die under China's DAMS instead of letting Viets to destroy us.
7:30 AM,
America is broke, only China who is the world richest. America still owed China trillion of dollars that's why American are here to isolate every nation from China. It's all about power and money they all want.
Uighurs, the Muslim people of Central Asia, were once the inhabitants of Turkestan.
Today, the Chinese were annexed by the colonization and forced Sinicize of this country now called Xinjiang, This people suffer daily persecution and racism of the Chinese of Han ethnicity.
The racist riots caused by the Han Chinese against Uighurs Muslims must be avenged by all Muslims. Khmer Muslims should feel solidarity with their brothers Muslim Uighurs and have to attack the interests of the Chinese in Cambodia.
TIBET is the same thing, and is now a province of China.
Vietnam has undergone a Chinese colonization of nearly 10 centuries before to regain its independence.
Chinese settlements that serve the interests of Beijing, are numerous and ubiquitous throughout Southeast Asia, this is a good reason to be very vigilant for all Asian nationalists towards China .
7;24PM.
People won't by your strategy while million Vietnamese crying for help through this petition.
Khmer people will recognize that you may be Vietnamese. Don't post anything against China in here because Khmers love China and because Vietnamese made them to.

Yes we need to free the Muslim country, Champa that the Vietnamese took it. Cham should be freed from Vietnamese.
All Muslims nations must rise against Vietnam and retake Champa back.
