Rainsy to face fresh charge in border row
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2010

The Phnom Penh Post
THE government has again gone on the offensive against opposition leader Sam Rainsy, saying he will soon face charges of falsifying public documents in order to support allegations of Vietnamese territorial encroachments.
Var Kimhong, Cambodia's chief border negotiator said at a press conference on Monday that the government had lost patience with the Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) president and his "exaggerations" about the situation on the Vietnamese border.
"The SRP is not confused about the situation. Their purpose is to twist our work and criticise the government very strongly," he said. "This is a national betrayal. The government will sue him again on accusations of faking public documents." He did not mention when the charges would be laid, saying only that the case had been forwarded on to government lawyers.
Last month, the SRP posted on its Web site what it described as "unprecedented evidence" that Vietnamese border markers 184, 185, 186 and 187 were placed well inside Cambodia's legal territory as defined by French and American maps.
On January 27, Sam Rainsy was sentenced in absentia to two years in prison and fined 8 million riels (around US$1,927) for joining villagers in uprooting six temporary border markers in October. The villagers said the markers were placed in the rice fields by Vietnamese authorities.
On Monday, Var Kimhong also challenged Sam Rainsys claim that Vietnamese border officials had uprooted the four posts in response to the SRP’s allegations, saying they had excavated certain sections of the border in the course of the joint demarcation process. "The Vietnamese did not pull up the posts because we have not planted any posts yet … If Sam Rainsy has evidence of this, please show us," he said. "We cannot tolerate him anymore because we have already explained to him about this."
SRP spokesman Kimsour Phirith rejected the government's allegations against Sam Rainsy, saying the threat of charges was merely an attempt at "weakening" the opposition. He also said that if the government wanted to eliminate criticisms that it is turning a blind eye to Vietnamese incursions, it should allow impartial observers to scrutinise the placing of border posts.
"To show whether or not the planting of the posts was legal or illegal, the government must allow border experts and civil society activists to attend the border demarcation," he said.
Kimsour Phirith added that although the party did not have photos of Vietnamese officials in the act of uprooting the border markers, it had collected testimony from witnesses along the border.

2. Sva Kimhong can not answer to the question asked by SRP MP
3. To satisfy his master (Youn)
If anyone can aswer this question more Please?
ah slap tayhoong sva kimhong ah kbatjet ah lok khloun ah choymiay
May God takes ah swa kimhong life, and his associates whom involving give land to yuon vietcong.
Wow, Hun Sen and Cpp are working overtime in their attempt to once again paint the truth with more and more lies. Suing Mr. Rainsy to exposing the truth!
Svar Kim Hong's action ....
" This is a national betrayal".
ah sva kimhong ah kbatjet
Var Kim Hong needs to proper advice on this issue. My view, not H.E. Sam Rainsy that betrays our nation; in fact, H.E. Var Kim Hong himself that is betraying our country.
I ask the Cambodian government consider this thoroughly.
Peking, China
R-Var Kim Hong's head needs to hit by my shoe.
ah sva kimhong a kbatjet lok deiy khmer taov youn
Hong kim va that his name he is 100% vietnamese don' you known that.
CPP members have proved that they commited treason, they had stolen Khmer lands for Yuons and now they jail Khmers who denounce that treason.
In some countries in the world, persons who betray their people, betray their country, serve their ennemies are recognized by laws to be executed.
. In 1623, Chhey Chetha II married a Youn daughter, and as consequences, this stupid Khmer king allowed Youn soldiers to have Youn administration in Prey Nokor.
. Now, Ah Khbot cheat Hun Sen, does everything, including oppressing its own people to cede final Khmer land to Ah century enemy Youn. Ah Pleu mouy nis deserves death penalty, assassination, and 600 year imprisonment.
Cambodian government is headed by Viets, Hun Sen and his bang is condemned to work until his death by the Viets. for the problem of territorial integrity, Hun and his bang do not care. Hun Sen cling to the electric chair Viet.
ល្បែងនយោបាយមិនទាន់់ចប់ទេ
សូមរង់ចាំមើល តើខាងណាឈ្នះនៅទីបពា្ចប់?
All CPP + Mr. sVar Kim Hong are the one that betray(ed) our country!!
Why keep blaming or painting all the false and lies on H.E Sam Rainsy!!
Oh God, please strike these CPPs guys soon.

Mr. Sam Rainsey should stay in Europe until this thing gets better. It not worth it coming to Cambodia only having to go to the Kangaroo court. You stay in France and you fight from there. Remember King Sihanouk. From 1970 until 1980, that was 10 years. From 1980 until 1993 that was another 13 years. It took him 23 years to turn thing around. So don't expect any fast result. You're alright. Many Cambodian believe in you. 2 to 3 millions of people, that is substantial. As day goes by, that number isn't getting smaller. So keep fighting and don't give up.

National betrayal? Treason? When you do thing in favor of foreign country, you commit national betrayal. Look at what Mr. Sam Ransy and Hun Sen are doing. Sam Ransy is protecting Khmer territory from Viet and Hun Sen is protecting Viet's interest. So who betray the nation? People, please judge
Svar Kimhong is Vietnamese that's why he's working for the Viets. Don't people know that many people in the CPP government are ethnic Vietnamese? Vice Prime Minister, Sok An, you know what that means if Hun Sen should ever die and I hope he does, the next person in line to take his position is Sok An which he himself is an ethnic Vietnamese and working for his boss, Hanoi. Don't get it twisted, most of these crooked CPP are ethnic Vietnamese and there are many millions more in our motherland, Cambodia. If you are really Khmer, the next time you visit Cambodia, look around you and you will see the faces of Viets everywhere, speaking their language and playing their music like it's their country but Khmer Krom can't even listen or watch TV without the Yuon spying on them. Disgraceful CPP government!! Vote for Sam Rainsy!! It's the only right thing to do!!
cowardice and crooks always defense injustice. They make what is wrongs right.
Those are the type that even betrayes this family, not just nation and people.
When Youn stole Khmer land, Khmer government sues his own people who try to protect it. What's a joke of Khmer stupidity?
Var Kim Hong is looking for the cofin or funeral that is waiting for him in the near future. He is hanging himself. This guy has no brain and accept the urgly job that involves stealing Khmer land for Youn. He will see his future in prison or death sentence for his acting.
How is his stupidity?
Go and sue SRP. If they want to sue SRP, SRP should tell them that "The place to sue me is international court of justice". Then, countersue them by defaming SRP by billion of dollars. Don't forget take Youn to the court too to be fair.
This fellow Sva Kim Hong's capability is so weak to deal with the issue.
You must be removed from your post by the evil of spirite border posts that you have planted in Khmers'land.
you don't need to remove sva kimhong i think sva kim hong need to be shot dead because he is kbott chiet.or punished by god like hok longdy.
Do ma they look like brothers! ah Vietnamese choymaray their mothers are hookers!!!!
Look at the picture and read what he critisized Sam Rainsy, can any one believe that Ah Chhke Var Kimhong is Khmer-born national working for Khmer nation? If so, please prove it. What he meant by saying Sam Rainsy "betray the nation"? In fact, Sam Rainsy is working to protect Khmer nation, gives land back to the Khmer people. If Ah Chhke Van Kimhong is Khmer-born, does he understand that? From what I search on him, Ah Chhke Var Kimhong is 100% Yuon citizen who can speak and write Khmer. But the truth is he is working for Viet and serves Youns.
Why Ah Hun Sen can't wake up and see any thing? I am sure Ah Hun Sen knows and sees every thing about Ah Chhor Yuon's land encroachment, but he is deep into his secret promise with Viet in 1979 that can't be backed out and especially he has Yuon's spy on his bed, BUNRANY HUN SEN that can't let him make any move for Khmer but to serve Yuon's interest or his head will be cut off from his body, otherwise.
All Khmer, please wake up, and wake up NOW! This is a very serious matter!
Khmer WA
It's about time to call all khmers and young khmers generation to stand up and fight Hun Sen regime. Let all millions Khmer to remove Hun Sen from power. I urge all khmers inside MUST to stand up and we will support you from abroad and will ask the international to support too. Let fight for basic human rights and democracy. We can't let Hun Sen's regime and his gangster to ruin the country.
It is sounded like CPP is a really Khmer Rogue style of government. Instead of making a border committee of forming many differences group they kept on insisting that SRP is betray the country. This is very crucial and harsh to labeled SRP of betraying the country. Where, what and when did the SRP betrayed the country?
This is very KR style of killing or jailing people.
This is a YUON's tactic to kill Khmer.
A Sva See La-hong from now on no more La-hong (papaya) for you to see !!! hun will sen you snol dey for you to see if you make a wrong move. I beleive you are deserve to see snol dey next to hok leng dey.
Var Kim Hong is our puppet, he will receive our order before his speech, to please our master Vietnam Hanoi or will remove from the government, our staffs must obey our master Vietnam Hanoi as living god also.

2:02AM,
That was a good comment brother!
It is so true for a crossed-eye person to only see one side and not seeing another side.
Good one!!
8:44PM,
You only can see a few inches in front of you just like most Khmer people in Cambodia.
If Mr. Sam Rainsy don't seeks foreign help you think Cambodia can depend on you and most people there? Pathetic!
You are the type do nothing about it but sit, watch, waite and blame. Without Mr. Sam Rainsy and SRP and people abroads, you and people in Cambodia are much worst then it is today. If you don't dare to stand up for your family and your nation the lease you can do is stop critics those who try to help.
Cambodian people living in Cambodia need to open their eyes, ears and mind to stop critics and blaming to those who living abroads that try to help. Especially SRPs. Cambodian in Cambodia should thanks them for their time and dedication. They have nothing to gain but in most case spend more money out of their pocket. Especially funds that are needed to support some victims in addition to the funds that support SRP in Cambodia so they can continue to fight for the people and nation.
8:44 PM, Useless mother-fucker! People like you make others loose interest of helping. Stop pretending to be smart and knowlegable IDIOT!
8:44PM is a frog in the dark well. Can't see the brightness and the horizontal of the field. He can only see the rim of the well.
A frog in the well!!!
8:44 PM, You are an idiot! When American bomb Cambodia, the person to blame is AH-HANOUK. If you know your history well then you can not totally blame on US. However, the bomb did not kill millions of Khmer at the time. Stop giving false information.
If Mr. Sam Rainsy don't seek foreign helps then you suggest that he should ask you to help instead?
Disgraceful! Idiot individual!
I just want to throw-up when I read this article. What is going on this logic.
Let give them a taste of their own medicine in 2012.
Peace!
Death to puok Ah refugees who don't support their country!!!!!!
4:30 AM,
GOOD LUCK TO ALL KHMER ABROADS WHO WASTE TIME, EFFORT AND MONEY TRYING TO SUPPORT SCAMBODIA!!!
SCAMBODIA IS ROTTED BEYOND SAVABLE.
ah sva kimhong totul luy py youn bangkol promden mouy bos banchokchey youn aoy pilean dollars american ahnis kbotjet kou yoktaov pioukar aoy reas khmer diang
He is a Vietcong nationality, a hanoi
pest who if he doesn't do this, Hanoi will put him in the gas chamber.
Oh my God!! national betrayal Mr. Svar Kim Hong!!! What planet are you from? You can't say that if you are Khmer, but you are totally Yuon. You are right, Mr. Rainsey betrays Youn interest.
He is ah Sva for sure. He likes to eat Yuon Pho noodles for sure. Ah Sva Kim tayhorng will be taken to hell for sure.
