OPPOSITION leader Sam Rainsy has announced that he will file complaints with foreign institutions accusing neighbouring countries of violating international law by encroaching into Cambodian territory.
Sam Rainsy came under fire from Cambodian and Vietnamese officials for uprooting border posts in Svay Rieng province during a Buddhist ceremony on October 25. Villagers claimed the Vietnamese had illegally shifted the posts onto Cambodian soil.
Speaking from Paris, he said his personal act of defiance was meant to bring the alleged Vietnamese incursions to light.
"I have now collected enough documents and witnesses to show that neighbouring countries are violating Khmers' land," he said.
"So I will file complaints about this to international organisations."
He did not say which organisations would receive his complaints, but added that the alleged Vietnamese acts were a violation of the 1991 Paris Peace Accords, to which both countries are signatories.
According to local media reports, Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung took the issue up in talks with Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Men Sam An in Vietnam on Tuesday, describing Sam Rainsy's action as "subversive".
Vietnamese embassy spokesman Trinh Ba Cam said on Thursday that Sam Rainsy was free to file a complaint with international bodies, but that this would not prove the Vietnamese had acted wrongly.
"We do not care about his complaint," he said. "What he did was known to everyone. We have nothing to say."

4:38 PM,
Are you Khmer or Yuon ???
Yuon strategies are using khmers to be crazy with Thais, and then Viets encraoched our territories from the south and east.
Hun Sen had said by himself that over 100,000 Viet troops are being inside Cambodia.
Are you deaft or blink ???
BBB
Is it your act of loving Cambodia by allowing Vietnam to take Cambodian land in the bright daylight?
You must be a real nationalist!
Amazing!
Hi 4.38. I am Khmer but i just want you to see the situation carefully. Currently we are having the problem with Thailand, we need VN to support us. We will get back to solve problem with VN sometime later after finishing Hun Sen time.
Stop your fucking Sam Raingsy action. It is not the right time to do this.
Khmer in PP
Good on you,Lauk Sam Rainsy !

Me and other survivors after 18 03 70 ,We saw Vietcong and khmer rouges,they killed each other,they killed people khmer without any justice,and we had some friends and families were killed especialy they had killed our Buddha that existed since centery.We heard Sihanouk BlaBlaBla from Pékin.
It's time that Sihanouk must come and tell what happend between 1970-1980.We also ,we will come and tell what ,we have seen...etc
We thank to Mr Bernard Hamel,Mr Marcel Lemonde,Brad Adams and others Journalists that want the real peace for Cambodia.
Sihanouk let enter Vietcong in 1970,by these places ,after that all were destroyed.We khmer ,we built all monuments for our Buddha and other God,not for Ho Chi Minh or Mao.
we lived with Vietcong after 18.03.1970 until 1980, we knew all

YES, WE HAVE CONFLICT WITH THAI, BUT NOT BECAUSE THAI ALONE, BUT BECAUSE OF HUN SEN AND THAKSIN PERSONAL INTERESTS OVERLOADE THAN COUNTRY INTERESTS. DO NOT TALK ABOUT VIETNAMESE ENCROACHMENT NOW BECAUSE WE NEED HER HELP TO FIGHT WITH THAI, FIRST, THEN WITH VIETNAME LATER. IS YOUR IDEA GOOD?
FIGHT WITH THAI LET VIETNAM INVADES, INVADES...
AT THE END,WE HAVE TWO REASONS FOR STOP FIGHTING WITH THAI BASED ON, FIRSTLY OUR LAND ALREADY INVADED BY VIETNAM, SECONDLY FIGHTING FOR WHAT WHEN THE WHOLE TERRITORY ALREADY CONTROLLED BY VIETNAM. SO, YOUR IDEA IS FOR NOTHING AT THE LAST.
BEING A LEADER MUST DEVOTE FOR THE WHOLE TERRITORY NOT ONLY WITH THAI. WE ARE LIVING AS A MEMBER OF UN AND WE HAVE PARIS ACCORDS AND LA É COURT. WHY NOT WE USE IT?
FINALLY, HUN SEN IS FIGHTING WITH THAI NOW IS NOT FOR CAMBODIA. INSTEAD HE FIGHT FOR HIMSELF, THAKSIN TOPPLING THAI MONARCHY AND VIETNAMESES CONTROLLING CAMBODIA ECONOMICS ADDITIONAL TO POLITICS CONTROLLED.
YOUR IDEA LIKE SIHANOUK WITH HO CHI MINH. FINALLY, WHAT SIHANOUK GOT FROM HO CHI MINH WAS NOTHING AND CIVIL WAR.
Go for it SR! It's not late. Try to use our experts for help.
We are serious questions about the ability and intelligence of Sam Rainsy to become the next Prime Minister of Cambodia. Sam Rainsy continues to demonstrate its political behavior immature, childish, and extremist.
He must go to receive treatment in a hospital Psychatrie.
Poor sam rainsy.You are realy stupid!
Sam rainsxy, it is not in politic that you have to do career, you're very bad in politic, but you have to make a career in comedy with the role of clown because it is more successful for you.
Poor Sam Rainsy.
Congrat.t0 Mr. Sam Rainsy, Job Well Done. We need more Khmer like yourself sir. Thank you so Much..
When he stands up for soverighty of the nation then you said Sam Rainsy is stupid.
Yes, HUN XEN and his CPP is very intelligent because he can serve Vietnames well even he think he need to sell this country out.
The Royal Government of Cambodia has to undergo a medical consultation Sam Rainsy to check if his mental state allows him still to do politics.
A medical consultation for employment is required in all major modern countries.
Because it is dangerous to allow a mentally ill to govern us.

Understand about your feeling the Vietnamese politic throughout the kingdom of Cambodia. But please be realistic.
Cambodia with Thailand :
We Khmer felt, Thailand play game with us and always wanted to invade our country, just the Preah Vihear temple.
The fact : Preah Vihear and their surrounding clearly belongs to Cambodia.
Now again and because of one Man, Mr Thaksin, Thailand makes trouble and want to have a war with Cambodia. Thai used the wrong time. The world laugh about the Thai baby's behavior.
Cambodia with Vietnam:
Khmer people did not felt, we get attack from the Vietnam soon.
The fact are:
1-Vietnam and not the Thai saved the Khmer live from the Khmer Rouge regime.
2-The Cambodian government trusted the Khmer Krom more than the Khmer Loeu or Khmer Surin.
The reality, all Khmer Krom born have the right to have the Cambodian nationality and same right as Khmer born in the Kingdom or overea's Khmers. The Khmer Krom always wanted to stay Khmer.
What about Khmer Loeu or Surin ? will someone able to give me an answer.
To all the people who blame SR, I do not see any reason why you insult him? Please, SR is mentally ill because he defends VN to take land from Khmer?
i want to see Thai invade Cambodia with force and push Vietcong out from Cambodia!and replace the current regime with SR...and new KR will rise once again...
Where is big mouth hun sen?
Where is the cpp supporters on this subject matter?
Beside the youn are thickskin/muk krass. They cheat, steal, kills and want to continues.
Khmer all around the world should pick this issue and protests about the violations and demand for justice and an end to this ecroachment by vietnam.
Good and Evil are making love with Khmer people. Khmer people still love them both. They like mixing salt and sugar as it is tastier for them.
BBB,
u are a retarded.
u must have been dropped too many times.
SR is viet! CPP is Thaicong!
KR will rise once again! to destroy the Vietcong. kill them all!

Sam rainsxy your political vision that is the outcome of the Paris Agreements of 1991 which is the political factions and armed clashes vision is completely outdated and archaic compared to the political and economic context of Cambodia kingdom today in 2009.
This vision of political factions concerned only opportunistic politicians and their supporters and activists.
This vision of political factions do not interested the most Cambodians today.
Today the vast majority of Cambodians want for the kingdom of cambodia a modern state, peace, social development, economic development, job for all, good wages, a better life for all and a politic of good neighborly relations with neighboring countries.
And the political line that you carry is obsolete and no interest to anyone except your fans.
Do not take people for idiots.
Sat rainsxy your attitude is completely stupid and immature.
Dear Mr.Sam Rainsy! you are so brave which don't have any political party leader did it like you now.
This is your turn to become to very very good leader in Cambodia. It not Hun Sen any more. It too long for him and now we became a crazy man, because he appointed the prisoner to be his assistant.
Now, all of Cambodian in the whold cambodia and around the world they have been look ing up to your activities and fully support to you.
Yes! I know that some the dog like BB which has been posting their opinion in this blog, I think are allso KVAK like Hun Sen. he don't know any thing about Youn took everything from Khmer since 1975.
Sam Raisy this is your turn! to be a reall Khmer leader.
I hopefully that justice can come true soon. and all bad gay in Cambdia they are going to met SADAM HUSSEN soon.

Careful with the complete hold more and more strong of china, Cambodia could become the next Tibet
Only the dumbs and the blinds can not see the ways in which Hun Sen and his cliques are selling out Cambodia in the name of 7 January, 1979. If you are really Khmer,then I suggest, you go and live in Kampuchea Krom for a change. Then, you will learn something. All of the Viets or Viet-Khmers will do their utmost to turn Cambodia into another Kampuchea Krom. They knows it is just a matter of time, the process of moving East has started many decades ago and eventually, it will complete its course. There will be more Viets than Cambodians to a point of no return.
Dear Mr. Rainsy,
Your action can only be seen by every Khmer everywhere as brave and patriotic.
Don't be intimidated or deterred by threat from Vietnam or its pupets. Continue with your work to challenge the yuons and Khmer everywhere, including CPP members, will openly or secretly support you.
It's now the right time for you to open a "communication channel" with China. You'll find out that China is your best and effective ally against the yuon threat. You should the opportunity now before your opponents do.
Hi all,
Far East had been bitten in half already. I blamed ah Yuon 110%.
Laos been took over already. Ah Yuon mother-tongue are being taught everyday in Laos and Cambodia, because Hun Sen said so.
when people look at the head of Mr. Hun Sen, Mr Chea Sim and Mr. Hensamring, they resemble the Khmer race pure.
When we look at the head of Sam rainxy , it looks like a bastard
(chinese- khmer or khmer -vietnamese or thai_khmer ) but he does not
look like the khmer pure race..
The connection between the Chinese mafia, Chinese colonies in Cambodia and the Chinese Khmer people is also a threat in the long term to national security Kampuchea .
10:07 PM
Stupid your comment. Chinese Khmer are 100 % Khmer since the our King Jayavarman VII. time. Well educated Chinese Khmer are 100 % Khmer.
Kang GUEIT euiv alias Duch is sino khmer.
Pol Pot was also sino khmer.
Nobody has forgotten what these 2 criminals with Chinese assistance have destroyed Kampuchea and the Khmer people pure race.
The Sino Khmer influenced by China all the time trying to push the Khmer pure to make war with Vietnam for to destroy the Khmer nation to easily colonize completely cambodia.
Because when there is war the Sino Khmer all fled abroad as Sam rainsxy and let die Khmer pure because Khmer pure race are too poor to go abroad.
Sino Khmer are a real threat to national security of Kampuchea.
The Sino Khmers are descendants of Chinese immigrants came in Kampuchea that are not pure Khmer ethnic.
disagree most mix Khmer Chinese always consider themselves as Khmer..and loyal as khmer.
Currently YOUN is telling Hun Xen to cause more trouble with Thai so YOUN can steal more Khmer land.
Because while Khmer people is focusing on Thai issues the so call friendly YOUN neighbor is robbing our Khmer people in broad daylight.
Keep pushing for international attention SRP! You are doing a great job.
The Khmer ethnic people is friends with Vietnam. In the history of Kampuchea, there was a Khmer king who married with a princess of Annam.
The Vietnam and China were historic enemies , these 2 countries hate each other.
Face to Vietnam, and Thailand, our former King N. Sihanouk approximates the China to better defend the kingdom of Kampuchea.
If sam rainsxy wants to help Kampuchea and the royal government, he must use his special relationship with Thailand and especially with his friends Abhisit Vejjajiva to help the Kingdom of Cambodia to defend Preah Vihear and not the provocation on the border to the east the country.

4:38 PM
You stupid punk! you don't know jack ass...go fuck Soy Sopheap's ass....fool!
9:51 PM
He surely does not smell like your mother's pussy...hahahahah
go ahead SR we will fight with both of our neigboring at the sametime, now a day we have international court to sue and we have UN for help we are the poor country and very small if thai and viet come to fight us at the sametime the UN will help us probably our land will be biger than now a day, ah kwack hun do not care about combodia people he care only himeself and his familly, look at the way he reply to the bangkok post and other media, he is not talking about our land and our poor people. he interested only his power he will kill any body who are again him who matter what he do right or wrong.
probably this is the time khmer take kampuchea krom back from vietname and khmer surin back from thai land if we could use map from Bumma as our map and we could ask franch help for these because france not combodai why france give khmer krom to youn why franch decided to give khmer surin to thai franch is not khmer just some one we ask for help so they have no right to give our land to no body so we could chase thai people back to china mountain. and youn back to champa land only.
To many Cambodian who are concern about border issue with the thai is not a concern to me, because thai has rule of law govern their country. Yes they do try to steal our land, but I am so concern about Hun Sen and ccp cronie and eastern theif more than thai, because Hun Sen and eastern theif they don't respect rule of law, they say one thing and they the other. That's why we Cambodain concern more of Viet-theif, and for MP Samrainsy is the same while Hun Sen give hugh amount of land to the Viet,plus move the border marker further, further inside Cambodia, they (Hun-Viet) keep silencing in the east. This is one reason why MP Samrainsy need to expose this kind of violation act by eastern theif need to be expose to the world, and we Khmer must not silence anymore we need to aggressively defend our motherland we must couragously protect our nation and people. Mr Samrainsy know just that. We must expose the theif and stop these act of violation against khmer villager especially who live by the border who went through many plight situation by suffering from eastern theif, these villager are suffer from eastern thief should also take the eastern theif to the international court also,in order for khmer to live in peace, because the thief like for us to be silence so they can continue to steal without interrupt. Khmer need to live in peace without the thief terorize us. It about time MP Samrainsy who are so brave,who understand the suffering of Khmer villager by the thief, that's why he need to bring this matter to the
international expose of the eastern thief violation of paris peace accord,and bring justice to khmer people and nation so we all should appreciate what MP Samrainsy did for our country and khmer people, in the end Khmer will rise and the theif subside.
khmer love khmer.
Let me laugh and roll out loud at the VietDumbese Ambacocksucker in Phnom Penh. The person said that what Mr. Sam Rainsy did is known by everyone. But but what about the YOUN thieves' act of trespassing into the Cambodian territory? The whole world knows that the YOUN thieves are world renown land thieves of Cambodia's territory. That is why the YOUN thieves love to do it very stealthily. Lol. Look at the way the YOUN ambasucker speak: "We don't care..." Lol. The YOUNs have to be reminded time and time again that they don't belong in the South. The YOUNs need to get off Khmer territory and go back home to the North. Lol. Sam Rainsy will kick the YOUN Azzes at the world court this time. This time YOUN land thieves are exposed. The YOUNs thieves they like to do think stealthily. The world needs to know this fact about them YOUN land thieves. Stop stealing more of the Cambodian territory. Stop jumping the Cambodian fences, you YOUNs. Lol. Go home and stay in your own home.
1:47 AM
You are absolutely right. Hun Sen just planned the plot with a fugitive Thaksin only to divert the story from the Viets taking the land from us.
To day sam rainsy party is completely marginalized in the Cambodian political scene after losing all elections against the CCP 1993,1998,2003,2008,
And his crusade in the world to cancel the 2008 elections was also a total failure. The international community remained indifferent to his initiative.
Because international community is not dupe of his approach.
To day Sam rainxsy has no more resources politics then he plays the politics of the worst. Now day, sam rainsxy plays the division between Khmer, draws up communities against each other, the sabotage of government politics on Preah Vihear by supporting his Thai friends, the political factions and armed clashes vision against the Royal Government's politics. This vision of political factions and armed clashes concerned only sam rainsxy and their supporters and activists and do not interested the most cambodians today because cambodians people is not dupe of his approach.
Provocation of Sam Rainsy on the eastern border with Vietnam is his last political resource to exist on the Cambodian political scene today. His party is doomed to irreversible decline in the future.
Sam rainsy is a false patriot khmer.
what Sam rainsy tries to defend is not the true interests of Kampuchea, but he tries to defend his political career and his political future and the political future of his party.
Anyone can see that future political sam rainsy is well finished.
Sam rainsy, Prime Minister of Cambodia kingdom has become increasingly an illusion and fiction. Sam Rainsy is a mediocre politician, a bad strategist and strategically he is a immature since the 1st day he started in politics in Cambodia.
It is now time to think about creating a new more credible political opposition in Cambodia for 2013.
Sam Rainsy has no quality and talent to become the next prime minister in Cambodia to replace Hun Sen. Nobody believes in his chance one day to replace Hun Sen. we must stop wasting time with a line and a political strategy doomed to decline. The sam rainsy political strategy is a strategy guaranteed to fail face to CPP.
Provocation of Sam Rainsy does not affect the good relations of friendship, brotherhood and cooperation in all fields between the Kingdom of Cambodia and the Republic of Vietnam.
khmer and thai should help each other to push the youn to the dai viet.
