PHNOM PENH, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- The latest statement by the sub-committee for urgent settlement on the Diamond Island bridge accident Thursday morning revised the death toll figure of the major stampede to 347, a big drop from the previous 456.
The statement, signed by the chairman of the sub-committee Ith Samheng, who is also the minister of social affairs, said the previous figure of death toll was incorrect due to some overlap in the statistics.
This is a major amendment for the death toll figure of 456 provided by the same sub-committee Wednesday afternoon.
By 00:30 a.m. on Thursday, after verification, 347 were dead in the stampede, of which 126 men and 221 women, said the latest statement.
It also revised down the injury number from 755 to 395, saying the latter was based on the statistics by the hospitals.
Earlier the Bayon TV, owned by the daughter of the Prime Minister Hun Sen, reported 755 people had got injured in the stampede on Monday night, the final day of the Water Festival.
The tragedy occurred as thousands of people tried to flee a bridge connecting the mainland of Phnom Penh and the Diamond Island due to rumors of bridge collapsing.

Your Majesty Samdech Ta former King Norodom Sihanouk,
Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen,
Thank you for your both kindness and understanding.
What we need is prevention methods, not to let this type of accident happen again in the future.
It also makes me very worried to see so much alcohol allowed to enter or be produced in our beloved Kingdom of Cambodia? What about “ YA BA “ and other types of DRUGS from Thailand and Vietnam?
Can His Majesty Samdech Ta and Samdech Hun Sen stop all sorts of drugs coming to Cambodia? The accident may not be related to drugs and alcohol but just some thing that I could not sleep peacefully from now on to the future, in the names sake of true Khmer citizen.
Can Samdech Hun Sen kindly ask all 5 million Vietnamese illegal immigrants to peacefully return to Vietnam, so Koh Pich will not be too crowded more and more every day, every month and every year to come.
All Vietnamese illegal immigrants can easily come in and settle inside Cambodia even though they already have their own country Vietnam.
When Cambodia is too crowded, definitely we Khmer people can not go to settle inside Vietnam, can we?
Please Vietnamese, you said you came to rescue us from Pol Pot, and you don’t want to return home, it is not right according to 23rd October 1991 Paris Peace Agreement, can all of you go back to your country now.
Vietnamese illegal immigrants, you see because 5 million of you are inside Cambodia, it makes us too crowded and we wasted our lives at Koh Pich without good reasons.
Your Vietnamese Communism expansionist mind in Cambodia, is to give an excuse to China mainland to occupy your Spratly Islands, Parcel Islands, the whole of your Eastern sea border and perhaps the Northern border sooner or later.
5 million Vietnamese illegal immigrants in Cambodia, please go back home to defend your country from Chinese mighty economic invasion.
May I pray to God and the Lord Jesus Christ that those who have lost loved one will be comforted.
My condolences to all the victim's family.
Regards,
Kulen Monorom

Does Hun Sen tears at Koh Pich stampede memorial is real or just crocodile tears?
If Hun Sen really care for Khmer people and the Country after Hun Sen shed some tears at Koh Pich stampede memorial let wait and see whether Hun Sen has sincere condolences for Khmer people at Koh Pich bridge stampede victims the following must change and happen:
1.The victims of Koh Pich bridge stampede must get financial assistance as Hun Sen promised.
2. Any kind of land eviction must provide appropriate compensation for the people.
3. Boeung Kak residents must get appropriate compensation.
4. Higher salaries for working Khmer.
5. Hun Sen must stop using forces brutally against peaceful demonstration.
6. Hun Sen must stop influx yuon immigrations to Cambodia.
7. Hun Sen must finish his mandate as Prime Minster and resign.
Will some of these above happen after Hun Sen crocodile tears at Koh Pich stampede memorial on 25 Nomvember 2010 today.
No need to wait and see none of above will not happen because Hun Sen can not make any decision of doing any of above because his master yuon will not let these happen in Cambodia.
Most Khmer who know their own real history know that why Yuon installed Hun Sen and Khmer Viet Minh in 1979 for?
It all about Indochina Federation to kill and put Khmer and Lao people and Khmer and Lao countries under Yuon yoke.
So Hun Sen tears shed at Koh Pich bridge stampede memorial is crocodile tears.
Hun Sen has killed so many innocent Khmer as fellow:
1. K-5 plan.
2. Hand grenade attacked in 1997.
3. Peaceful demonstration against vote cheating in 1998.
4. Dey Krahom eviction.
5. Boeung Kak eviction.
6. Killed Mr. Chea Vichea, Mr. Ho Sok and many , many more Khmer.
7. More innocent Khmer people being suffered, and Killed straight after Hun Sen Koh Pich bridge stampede memorial.
So the answer is obvious , Hun Sen tears is faked tears.
