The Cambodian Confederation of Unions (CCU), which regroups the Free Trade Union of Workers in the Kingdom of Cambodia (FTUWKC) and the Cambodia Independent Teachers’ Association (CITA), issued a request to garment factory owners to pay the final salary, as well as their additional supplementary income to the workers who died during the tragic accident in Koh Pich bridge on 22 Nov.

Rong Chhun, CCU President, indicated in his letter sent to Van Sou Ieng, the chairman of the Garment Manufacturers Association of Cambodia (GMAC) that the accident which took place on Koh Pich Island on 22 Nov led to more than 300 deaths and several hundreds injured. Among the victims were 28 factory workers who were members of WTUFKC, and 33 of them were also injured.

The CCU asked Van Sou Ieng to intervene so that administrators of factories where workers have died or injured could receive their last pay and that this money be handed to the victim’s families so that they can organize the funerals or pay for their medical care.

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
