Nov. 9th is Independence Day in Cambodia. A country’s independence is supposed to allow its citizens to take care of themselves without outside interference. It supposes a certain degree of responsability, of compassion, of solidarity towards its fellow citizens. All nice virtues which are sometimes hard to find in Cambodia.

Exactly during the 57th ceremonies at Independence Monument gathering all those responsible for the Cambodian citizens, the eviction by Shukaku Inc. continues in the name of ‘development’. The company, backed by Chinese investors and belonging to Lao Meng Khin, Senator and member of the ruling CPP party, keeps on pumping sand in the Boeung Kak Lake, forcing inhabitants to dismantle their house, the offered compensation being ridiculously low.

Independence? From China? From money?

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.

Xmer has independent day but youn no, So Youn must work for their profit. Because those Khmer are slave of them, they kann do what they wanted. In pol Pot killing field they used the Name of Angka to kill Khmer, in Heng Sam Rin KOR 5 and now development . That is just the beginning for all Khmer, Kom Puchea Krom style will be come true near by the future. And the day for slave is coming already.

Every drop of Suon Sophoan blood is shared by painful feeling by Khmer around the world.

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.

It looks like the Lao Meng khin and associates,CPP have burried those citizens in Boeung Kok alive.

This is the results of voting for CPP or the CPP vote stealing?.
Whatever would happen,destiny is in everyone's hand.

We hope the world body will bring HS to court for his destruction and his killings.

We hope one day HS will meet his ending day from what ever he created for the destructions for Cambodia and her people.

We hope one day HS family will meet destruction like what he did to the Khmer's suffering.

Please GOD if you are existed May all the evils be defaced out of this earth.

Do not bless HS and his cronies
Do not bless HS's family.
Do not bless HS's power.

HS is a faked person.

I am sure that to the CPP and their supporters (foreign and locals alike) this is development. They enjoy their "prosperity" while everyone else is losing their homes, their earning capacity, their independence. What leadership would allow "development" to enrich a few who are already rich beyond their wildest dreams, while creating a class of poor people who will need to depend on foreing aid for generations to come? And let's face it, virtually all aid comes from outside the country. Those inside the country are too busy sucking more blood from the poor, they don't even know what giving back means.

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???

If the Cambodia don't wake up and kept voting for HUN SEN there will be more countless results like this.

Only your vote can remove HUN SEN!!!!

My suggestion is to burn down the new construction every time they build.

Kidnap Shukaku's owner and their family for ransom.

Kill the CPP's member one by one. Don't spare them.

People revolution needed in order to save Cambodia from Ah Hun Sen and his master, Youn.

Revenge and revenge.

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.
