There are reports that Khmer Krom monks who attended the 61st anniversary commemoration service in Kampuchea Krom territory have been called in to question by the Vietnamese authority, reports Radio Free Asia.
Two Khmer Krom monks residing in a pagoda in Preah Tropeang (Soc Trang) province, said they have been called in to question by the Vietnamese authority after they attended the commemoration service of the 61st anniversary of the loss of Kampuchea Krom territory on 4th June in Phnom Penh.
Ven. Chea Rithy said that after he and another monk returned from Phnom Penh, they were threatened and watched and followed by the Vietnamese secret police. "The Vietnamese (authority) questioned us about our journey (to Phnom Penh). They questioned us about the commemoration of the loss of Kampuchea Krom territory. They asked which pagoda we have attended the service and whether we have attended any meetings", he said.
Mr. Taing Sarak, chairman of World Khmer Krom Federation in Cambodia, said if Vietnam is a good friend of Cambodia, he requests that the Vietnamese authority stop suppressing or persecuting or banning the freedom of expression of Khmer Krom and Khmer Krom monks any longer.
Mr. Yont Tharo, MP from the opposition Sam Rainsy Party and president of Khmer Krom Cultural Centre in Phnom Penh, has called on the Vietnamese government to stop suppressing and banning the freedom of expression of Khmer Krom people.

According to the history of Kampuchea Krom, the territory, which comprised 21 provinces of former Cambodian territory, was annexed by Vietnam, one by one. The territory was finally ceded to Vietnamese control by the French parliament on 4thh June 1949.

The Viet will pay for the high price for oppressing the Kampuchea Krom people especially the monks. Karma is inevitable and will appear soon enough before you know it.

Lower Cambodia became incorporated into Viet Nam HUNDREDS of years ago, not 61 years ago!
It began as part of a mutually-beneficial deal between Cambodian king Chey Chettha II(1573 - 1627) and the Vietnamese Nguyen Lords.

China will soon help our economy, we won't have more beggars on the street
Come on Khmer getting fast imotion, they very skill full on fighting and killing each other, we just painting their color and waiting to send over people into their land.
I went to Beijing in 2004 and I saw a lot of Chinese baggars. So how can China help Cambodia to clear the Khmer baggars fron the streets in Phnom Penh? China is not the heaven! Only Khmers themselves who cam build their country. So do not expect too much from foreign countries! Importantly Khmer have to choose the right leaders to lead the country.
The so-called Khmer Krom never existed, in your perversions you people are claiming land that does not belong to you. The UN does not recognize your pathetic existence. By the way the US and Vietnam are hammering out a nuclear agreement that would allow Vietnam the right to enrich uranium. Vietnam will become a nuclear state in 10 years. hoooraah
