Phnom Penh – In the afternoon of 09 Nov. 2010, about 20 representatives of the residents living in 7 villages encompassing more than 2,000 families have gathered at Preah Ang Dorn Keur (in front of the Royal Palace) to held a religious ceremony in which they burnt incense to put a curse on the [Shukaku] company which grabbed their land. The ceremony was held after the residents lost all hope with the government.

42-year old Kong Chantha who represents Boeung Kak residents told reporters at the ceremonial place that: “We have no more choice because our protest did not bring any result at all. Only the deity [can help us]. We are Khmer, only Buddhism can soften the greedy heart [of the company’s owner] and make them become indulgent to the residents. Right now, we have no other choice, we call on heaven and heaven does not hear us, we appeal to the earth, but the earth does not reply to us. So we only have this choice left.” She added that only the deity at Preah Ang Dorng Keur is efficient and he will make Samdach PM Hun Xen see the hardship of the people. May the deity make him come to visit the people whose houses have been buried deep in sand. We have nowhere to live now.”



Mrs. Ly Mom, a resident of Boeung Kak, said that the people believe Preah Ang Dorng Keur, especially the residents of Boeung Kak have 100% confidence that the deity will help them, because this is the most efficient deity in Cambodia. The residents promised to the deity that, should they be allowed to remain without being evicted, they will hold a yearly ceremony for the deity once the residents can live in peace.

During the religious ceremony, the residents prayed the deity to destroy the company which grabbed their lands, to take away the greed from this land-grabbing company, to make the company stop pumping sand, to make the company return to the negotiation table and provide market value compensation to the residents. The villagers plan to hold a demonstration against the land-grabbing company in the near future also.

To sad to see this situation. This area is an area that is chosen to side to SRP and voted for SRP in the pass. That's why HUN SEN ignores the plea of these people. I can't believe if Hun Sen already won why the hell he is cursing these people like that. Didn't he know that doing good is bearing good and doing bad is bearing bad!

Good deed will overcome bad deen soon,I hope.

Please help our Khmer people! Where is our Khmer heart and soul and Khmer Heroes???

To all the Khmer loving country people!!!

We need a sniper shooting at our father’s forehead..... That is the only way to get rid of him.

He thinks he owns Cambodia. We are his kids are so embarrassed when he talks like a barbarian or like a singing monkey on a tree.

Our mother is also making us ashamed of her skin bleaching, awkward jewelries wearing and flirting around...(my mother bun runny is seeing this hot looking 18 years old man behind my father's back - my father did not khow)

Please help us to get rid of them; we don’t want to be the Viet slaves.

HUN MANET, HUN MANA AND OUR SIBLINGS.

Boeung Kak Lake residents's tears and pain is shared by Khmer around the world.

Hun Sen must brought to the international court of justice for so many crimes he has committed against innocent Khmer people.

Hun Sen must meet a miserable end.

This is a kind of robbery not a investment project. Though this so-call development protect people shall get the proper compensation. But the robber actually is forcing people to leave their land and being paid by far lower price compare to the real maket price.

THE MOST EVIDENT OF THIS KIND OF SHIT IS 7NG CASE where people were forcing brutally to leave their home and the freed land is not being developed anyway but just fencing the land for football field with 5USD per hour. Such development is very shit. It's very shamefull to the the Human being.Only the dog's brain can think it's the development plan.


In fact those robber will get the land to sell to foreign company in order to get lucrative profits. Those robber are always use that ways to become an millionare over the tear of the poor family


Hun Xen is very competent to sell state and people's land and property in order to make hiself and his group's interest.

If you are the real good leader and competent don't use your talent to make money by only sell the state's property and land and borrowing money from outsie.

You have to be your own agent for change...Believe me they will never listen to you if you not show them that your are the force of change and you can make change happen anytime soon. So all together with your family, neighbors and friends organize a sit in protest on the street to show the world. If they move it to hurt you, the world will condemn their action and this can lead to some remedy that could benefit you.
If you afraid, scare, don't expect them to compromise with you... Do it..If you don't do it you'll loose your land anyway. You have every right to organize this protest for your own benefit. Rember nobody give you freedom unless you fight for it..

I wish the Cambodians would have an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. By this I would know that they have an open mind perhaps to receive the truth. Of course I'm speaking only to the internet audience.
