It's very difficult for a small and weak country like Cambodia to avoid an influence from a more powerful country. I would rather see Cambodia, if there isn't a better choice, to ally with China rather than Vietnam. Historically, Cambodia has been influent by these countries, and as a result has become their victim.

Sihanouk already is sleeping and eating with the communist China, while Hun Sen is sleeping and eating with the Vietcongs. Khmer Nation is still stuck between a rock and a hard place!!!

What is the hope for Khmer people? The hope is in the Khmer democrat camp, but who are they? I hope SRP + HRP is the answer to the absent of Khmer democrat camp.

Khmer Democrat camp must be formed in order to liberate Khmer Nation from the misery under the communist and dictatorial Hun Sen style of government.

My message to SRP+HRP: "Kill or be killed!" I see the free world is ready to assist the Khmer Democrat Camp, but Khmer Democrats lack the means to unite ourselves. Who is to blame but our failure to unite.

Democracy is no perfect, but still way better than communism and dictatorship.

Khmer Angkor.

Be friend with China is good for Cambodia. China is the new economic super power now. Even the US borrow money from China. So if we you are friend with the rich, he can extent his large resources to help you.

The US is paper tiger now. They can only talk but cannot do anything much.

China is investing big in Cambodia. They are building road, bridges, and Hydro electric dams all over Cambodia.

There is a saying,"the last buffalo always drinks dirty water." The US is way behind others in its investment in Cambodia. It is among the last fuffaloes; however, Cambodia is in China's backyard.

That's how superpowers draw their line.

This is an open letter to the visiting vice president of the People's Republic of China (PRC).

While investment from the PRC is welcome, some investments have caused too much pains to the Cambodian people especially investments in land dealing. The Union Development Group Co. LTD, owned by investor from PRC, has been awarded an economic land concession to build cities in Kirisakor and Butumsakor districts, Koh Kong Province.

Unfortunately, the concessions above include people's villages and farm lands, and lands which have private ownership. Despite this, the Company still wants to have all the lands, including lands in the villages. The Company (through a mysterious local committee) are taking the people's land without proper compensations. An interministerial committee (comprising province officials, district officials) has been established to document and pay compensations to the affected people. However, while people are being called one by one to meet the Committee, they do not know what to expect: the prices, and terms of engagement... They were offered, if they are lucky, fixed rates which they are unable to negotiate. The rates are different from people to people...The rate is a s low as US$250 per hectar... If they refuse to accept these low rates, they are threatened with law suit, forced evictions, ..Many people have accepted with tears...

Yet, a family is only given 5 hectars of land... beyond this, the land is either taken away for free or given extremely low compensation...It is not sure based on what law that a family can only own 5 ha of land?...?

Also, the people are divided to local people and people from outside! It is said that people from outside the areas who own the land there would not be given compensation??? The taken away of people land and local people Vs. people from outside the areas reminds me of the Kher Rouge Era...

Now people at Preak Smach Village, Koh Sdach Commune, Koh Kong Province are subject to the above treatments. All a decision is said to be made by a representative of a powerful eleite in P. Penh..who is directly involved in deciding rates for the lands. If any people dare to ask fro sometime to think, the offered rates would be lowered...This is part of the threats to weakend people's spirits...(Is this kind of development that Cambodia wants ..if it is not for people's interest..?)

People who own the land in the above areas are not against the development project, but would like to have the followings:

1. There should be a transparent process on the committee decision and prices for different kinds of land. This should be made known to people and not depending on an arbitrary decision by a secret committee or an individual..
2. That the price should not be as low as $250 per hactar at the very least ..(after all, it is the Company that wants the lands to start with...)...People are asking for at least $2,000 per ha...for the lowest price for a certain kind of land...
3. That there should not be a limit of 5 ha per family...?
4. That people are compensated by the actual size of their land....and that the Company or people in the committee shall not be allowed to take away people lands for free...
5. That there should be a clear mechanism in case of disagreements... Now dealings are being carried out with threats...
6. That the government of PRC keeps an eye on the activities of their firms in Cambodia...no exploitations should be allowed...

Samdech Hun Sen, people at Preak Smach village, Koh Sdach Commune, Kirisakor district, Koh Kong are very loyal to Samdach... They have voted for Samdech... It is very difficult to come to see Samdech ..as it is only through boats they could come ....Samdech may not know what are happending in the on-going process to take lands for the Union Development Group, Co, Ltd... Samdech is the people's only hope for fair compensation....

The above story is told to the author of the above message...

7:57 AM. I have the same opinion as yours.

9:59 AM. From the past history since the US set foot in SEA replacing the French, Kampcuhea Krom was signed to be part of Vietnam because the US wanted that part of KKK as its Military based, and the French did it for the US. We don't know for money or for some other agreements. Cambodia is too small and less population and has nothing to attract the US. The only one that may attract the US is to harbor Muslim terrorists. This is the only part the US may pay attention to Cambodia.

10:19 AM. We all rely on Karma, but we don't accept why Hun Sen's fate made him to be who he is now. We all have Karma and our fate lead us to be who we are.

11:05 AM. You blame on those Khmer leaders on all sides, but do you think you have the answers to solve the problems?

11:38 AM. I agree with you. Khmer say "Chol steung tam bot" or we have to adopt fast following the circumstances or we will die.

12:22 PM. I agree with you. For the US, Cambodia is nothing to them. IT can worry the US if Osama Bin Laden lives in Cambodia. Many conerns from US politicians that Cambodia could fall into terrorists' arms if they don't do anything to help Cambodia. That's all I read.

I wish the US and the west can do something to help Cambodia and to kick the damn Yuon out from causing troubles in Cambodia. That's all I can ask for. I hate the damn Yuon.
