Cambodian NGOs plan to organize a meeting to commemorate and to express the anger against the 2nd anniversary of the Thai invasion of Cambodia along the border near Preah Vihear temple which took place on 15 July 2008. One high-ranking government official welcomed the plan to hold the “Anger Day” against Thai invasion on Cambodia on 15 July. However, this government official also warned the NGOs not to profit from this occasion to serve the interest of Cambodia’s opposition party. Rong Chhun, representative of the Cambodia Watchdog Council (CWC) and President of the Cambodia Independent Teachers’ Association (CITA), announced that 15 July is the date for the Anger Day against the Thai invasion of Cambodia and that it will be held in front of the public park located in front of the old building of the National Assembly which now houses the Supreme Court. Rong Chhun said that at the beginning of July 2010, he will send a letter to the Phnom Penh city authority to inform about them on the commemoration of this date, although, this is not to ask for an authorization from the city.

Although we have the right to express our disappointment with the behavior of our Thai neighbor. I think the word "anger" is a little harsh to ear of the world; somewhat it sounds like Cambodia is the one at odds. So I hope we could change that world to "protect..." rather. Thanks for listening!

Can we also have an Anger Day over the quality of schools?? Can we have one for the fact that 1000s have lost their jobs in the garment factories?? Can we also have one over the massive corruption that has made some rich but most poor???

Can we also have one over the fact that politicians, trade union leaders and government officials obviously think we are stupid and they don't have any answers for what is really affecting the country: schools, jobs and hospitals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
