Not a grain of truth in sand export claims, says Cambodian Government (sic!)
The Royal Government of Cambodia has reacted angrily to malicious and misleading claims by an international trouble maker that sand-dredging operations in Cambodia are causing widespread environmental damage.
A cheap and rubbish report from Global Witness claims that Cambodia is exporting vast amounts of sand to Singapore to help the city-state dramatically increase its landmass; and that the dredging is posing a huge risk to Cambodia’s coastline, threatening fish stocks, local livelihoods and endangered species. The claims has been also strongly denied and rejected by the Government of Singapore.
But Cambodian Government spokesman Khieu Kanharith said the Prime Minister of Cambodia, Samdech Hun Sen, had announced a blanket ban on sand exports last year. “There is also a ban on sand-dredging near islands and eco-tourism areas, deep water regions and in zones with large numbers of fish stock.”
A small amount of dredging was permitted to serve local demand and allow the passage of ships through over-silted areas, he said.
Global Witness has also claimed that two Cambodian senators, Mong Reththy and Ly Yong Plat have secretly been awarded sand extradition licences.
But Mr Reththy has responded by openly acknowledging he has a licence to export sand. But he denied shipments had ever been made to Singapore. “For a start it’s not the sort of sand that meets Singapore’s standards. But in any case, I have not sold any sand, not even one kilogramme. I don’t know where Global Witness gets its information from.”
Pech Siyon, the Director of the Cambodian government’s Department of Industry, Energy and Mines in the southwest province of Koh Kong, said sand-dredging operations in his region had stopped since the Prime Minister’s ban on sand exports.
Cambodian government spokesman Khieu Kanharith dismissed the Global Witness report as politically motivated. “Their reports are always exaggerated far beyond the imagination and attack the Cambodian Government in order to try and bring political benefit to one of the smaller opposition parties,” he said.

Young Hor is No doubt that he is a son of Viet minister working in Cambodia.
last UN conference confirms that Hor Nam Hong is a very viet origin, working in cambodia for the benefit of vietnam.Therefore this young Hor is the only reliable mechanism in barking against the truth.
Cambodia and cambodians have been robbed by these, but it won't be long the reverseable affect will destroy these.
Praise for people power!!!.

I hope this isn't true because whatever we have is very important for our people, so please think twice before we sell anything it all. E.g things can be reproduced is good for business like fish farming, vegetation, pine trees etc. Aust

Why don't I see all Khmers in a country not to rise up like Thailand? If they want to have a better future they need to stand up get rid of corrupted, dictatorship government out from power. All Khmers outside need to tell their brother, sister and relatives inside to stand up now before it's getting to late.

Under the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime, no criminals that has been committed crimes against journalists, political opponents, leaders of the Free Trade Union, innocent men, women and children have ever been brought to justice.
Khiew Kanharith , Hor 5 Baby Boy and alot more from CPP have to bark for their boss in order to have their jobs . If GW didnt do a good job , they could have been fired long time ago.
i don't blame bora for losing confidence with global witness. in the past, gw was bias against cambodia for whatever reason, and they also tend to exaggerate their report as a result of this bias inclination. so, having noted that trend, bora has the rights to criticize gw; nobody is perfect, you know. gw had been ruining cambodia's reputation for too long; maybe now they changed their way a little bit, but they still have to gain back khmer people's trust, too, you know!
I thinks SRC OR KIM SOKHKA party have to broken the law in order to kick CPP party out is not, cambodia still a commusih country so why somrangcy and kim sokha waiting for ...! you think khmer people in cambodia can stand up to fight with thier right the only thinks is all khmer party like SRC or KIM SOKHA have to broken the international law and kill hun sen THAN we review all THE CPP PARTY PROBLEM and we going to supot SRC so do it now sooner the batter just do what ever you can to kill HUN SEN ,SOK ARN, HOR NANG HONG,HORM YINGTIENG ,KHIEV KHAGARITH AND SO ON believe me international community no one listen HUN SEN enymore a lot of tecknology out there it easy to kill them orther why don't blame international community just kill them (looked it that in AFRICA last year just some armfoce can kill dectator prasiden than international will help you so do for your own people and for your country to get all old communish leader than we who ( vietname or china that who was kill khmer people during the khmerouge
Dear All you have to know that "Meayeat Neak Doek Noam Khmer keu mayeat kh-nhom ke" not for all but most of them. They have no initiative to lead the country without somebody pushing from the back. The big boss always calls them to VN to evaluate their action, to correct their mistakes add more tasks or direction where to go. .... I think we can not avoid becoming part of VN like Champa, Kampuchea Krom and Laos.
What supposed to happen it will happen. We have been tired enough for fighting, we have to live under Yuon. Becos Khmer leaders and their social clans always suck Khmer blood. Now the poor become poorer the rich become richer and richer ... one day there will be a revolution for survive.
Pls appreciate what Hun Sen has been doing. He really khows what is wrong & right ... I think may be he is under oppression.
Have a good weekend
