For those keep saying that Khmer Should unite together. I am very skeptical as I have seen these kind of pictures at all time. Do we need to unite with Hun Sen to create more suffering to these helpless people or we should unite to these helpless to revenge with all suppressors?
ReplyDeleteOnly one solution to unite Khmer. Stop creating more suffering to ordinary people. We need to respect their livehood and their freedom. If you want to buy their land, please pay their price accordingly. If you don't pay their price, stay away from them. Please do not use the excuse of development to destroy other people lives. It is a heavy price to pay. Karma will turn on you.
Soldiers and police are supposed to protect Cambodian citizen and are not the tool of the rich to suppress the poor.

ReplyDeletePeople, please rise up!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIn all democratic countries, the National government and local government must stay out from all commercial deals. They must act as inspectors to make sure that all developments are for last and are legally implemented. All properies deals should be dealted by buyers and vendors and their lawyers. Any public servant of any level who have acted in any dealt between vendors and buyers should be treated as corrupted officials should be arrested and send to jail.In this way, everyone will be more happier for their lives.

After visiting French, Phnom Penh governor(Kep Chuptema) wanted to turns phnom penh city, the capital of cambodia to a modernize city, that's a reason he went there to "Paris, French", people should understood and take the Gov't offer, i think in the future, O'dong, Kompong Speu gonna be Phnom Penh border line...
ReplyDeleteI supported Gov't for getting rid all of these slums, it's ugly and looks bad for our city, Phnom Penh is the CAPITAL OF STATE, just like Washington D.C...people should take goverment offer and understood....
ReplyDeleteTo 9:45AM and 9:50AM,
ReplyDeleteSince you support the Cambodian government so blindly, I have a question for you: your government wants to make the capital look like Paris or DC, why don't they obey the laws like the Frenchs or Americans do? Your government action destroys many lives, don't you think so? I personally think this CPP government is much worst than the KR. Your government chase only the poor and helpless out of the city, the KR chased everyone out of P Penh regardless they were rich or poor. Don't you agree?
Dictator Hun Xen did everything against the own people!!!
ReplyDeletePlease stand up against the dictatorships Hun Xen!!!
Again, it's easy to characterize this as the PM's doing, but Cambodia has a Land Law passed by both the National Assembly and the Senate. This land law is very comprehensive and based on the French civil law tradition.
ReplyDeleteThese people did not own the land they were living on and apparently failed to prefect their ownership as the Land Law allowed from like 1993 to 2003. So eventually the law of the land must be followed and the legal owner of the land acted to dislodge those there without legal title. What can be asked of the RGC NOW, is to issue a Prakas allowing the opening up of the period of time a unlawful possessor of the land that has lived on that land for the statutory period of 5 years, then can apply to obtain title (ownership of the land).

You're support Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime who is killing innocent Khmer peoples.
Please do me a favor don't ever tell anyone that you are Khmer, because you make Khmer peoples look bad.
I am very disappointed that not one of Khmer Rouge supporters have any comment about the six Khmer Rouge leaders summon by Khmer Rouge Tribunal court.
I am 100% agree with Areak Prey.
ReplyDeleteI was right.
The Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime never been to school,

No the pictures don’t speak for themselves; at least you are missing some important things here. I live right in this district (Russei Keo) and what looks like a case of land grabbing is in fact the expropriation of some illegal settlements. Those houses were built on a state property without any permits and the government never gave proper title deeds to those families because they simply built their houses where they should not have. Legal title deed or not, if you come from a developed country you know that is not normal to build a house one feet (30 cm) from a road without a construction permit, especially along busy road just after a bridge. They were fortunate enough to get faire compensations for their illegal settlement so that another bridge could provide some relief in this congested area. Most of them accepted so this does not look bad as it looks. They have received many warnings of evictions for many years and those you are crying the most are the ones who simply ignored all those warning until today. Some thought that because they were friends with some people working for the Government that they would get away with this. Cambodia is full of people who built their house on illegitimate lands and the authorities closed their eyes for many years. Now that they are doing some cleaning and road development human rights organizations are yelling. Of course they are many cases of land grabbing in Cambodia but showing pictures like this won’t tell all the truth about the ownership of those houses without titles deeds. Some of those houses where selling smuggled gasoline without paying a dime in tax and they were standing dangerously close to the road. I have a property along this road and like those people I was informed about the true rights of ownership for the land in this district and about the fact that some space must be kept for future development. I have listen to the authorities but some of those alleged owners just keep on claiming their rights for this land just because they have been here for 15 years. The reason why those alleged owners were attached to this land is because of the real estate booming in this district that raised the prices of the land. Those who pretend to be a victim in this case don’t care about their quality of life or about their neighbors. Their anger comes from their delusion: they believed that they should be compensated according to the market price even if their house was built on illegitimate grounds. They have bought lands and build houses without the approval of the authorities so it is normal that today they have to face an eviction. Don’t get me wrong, I hate Hun Sen and I am sick of all the problems that I have witness in this country for 7 years but the medias here a exaggerating some times.
ReplyDeletei don't think this is the case of human rights abuse. they are using the law to evict squatters, but abuse like a slave, etc..., ok; so, know the difference. if people fail to respect the law, how else is the police or authority to do their job but to evict them! hello! it could happen anywhere in the world, if people do not obey the law, really!

ReplyDeletein the USA, people or victim would have to get a lawyer to represent them in fight with authority. that's what i think cambodia ought to use, a lawyer, instead of victims fights and disobeying the authority because that's will always make them wrong by being disobedient with the law. hello! common sense, too, you know! wake up, people!
ReplyDelete3:12 AM,
ReplyDeleteThe Court system in the West is totally different from the Court system in Cambodia. The court in Cambodia always side with the powerful and rich. Have you heard a case about a group of poor landowners who sue the provincial officials for destroying the crops and building the fence around the poor peasants properties. The judge in this case jailed the plaintifs (the peasants) instead of jailing the defendants(the officials). As you can see in Cambodia justice is served only to powerful and rich people.
Yeah slums are ugly alright,get rid of them.
ReplyDeleteThen we can build a huge KTV like the one on sisowath near boden.
Gold aluminium cladding and a big flashing sign!
Do khmer women get exploited there-hell yes.
Much better than slums,eh!
Thanks 1:50 for your explanation.
