Yesterday, Rong Chhun, President of the Cambodia Independent Teachers’ Association (CITA), told The Phnom Penh Post that the visit of the former Khmer monarch to Vietnam – which shares a bitter history with Cambodia – is a rare opportunity. He said: “I think that the royal visit of the king to Vietnam, even though it is private, but for me, I want him to take this opportunity to raise the [problems of] irregular border post planting that lack transparency between Cambodia and Vietnam. We also want him to raise the issue of Koh Tral Island and the issue of the freedom rights of our Khmer Krom brothers and sisters, so that the [Vietnamese] authority does not restrict the rights of these [Khmer Krom] brothers and sisters.” Rong Chhun added: “Up to now, even though he is retired, he is still influential. If he uses his influence to defend our lands and sovereignty now, if he can raise these issues, it will be a good thing for Cambodia, this would be better than him visiting but not raising any of these issues.

agreed with mr. rong chhun's perspective.
Mr,Rong Chhun have good idea. We support your idea. But comrade Sihanouk is coward. He was youn slaves since he was young boy. We lost our land because of COMRADE sihanouk.
Hanoi' tactic is to over shadows the border issue with border poles.
Youns people are very materialistic! They have no limit of what right and wrong, but what they can gains.
May they gets the tastes of their own medicine from the north.
