Investigation results for Koh Pich bridge: a clear accident case [so claimed the government]

The tragedy on Pich Bridge was not a planned terrorist or a criminal case, and it was not the result of electrocution either, however, it was an accident due to panic and stampede. The deaths were due to asphyxia, dehydration and impossibility to move muscles.

This is the result of the investigation conducted by the commission in charge of investigating the tragedy on Pich Bridge on 22 Nov 2010. The result was presented during a press conference held at the Council of Ministers on Monday afternoon. The highly anticipated investigation result has been made public, but there is nothing new or different from what government officials have been trumpeting all along.

Xok An, the minister of the Council of Ministers and chairman of the commission above, indicated that funds received from donors will be provided to the victims through the ACLEDA bank for security reason.

Yesterday, Hun Xen announced that there is nobody who will be blamed in this case, it is a joint responsibility due to carelessness and underestimation of situation. Like Hun Xen, Xok An also claimed that this is a major lesson for future Water Festival celebrations.

The press conference indicated that the investigation on Pich Bridge is now completely closed.

Wow! the Hun's regime, when it comes to accountability...they are so efficient - case closed - nobody responsible - except the bridge itself - next thing you know the Mekong river is too shallow! Talking about zero tolerant toward responsibility!

វាជាការពិតណាស់ហើយ ដែលគេមិនអាចទម្លាក់កំហុសទៅលើជនណាម្នាក់ អោយទទួលខុសត្រូវក្នុងរឿងនេះឡើយ ព្រោះថា វាជារឿង ឧប្បត្តិហេតុ​ ដែលបានកើតឡើងដោយចៃដន់តែប៉ុណ្ណោះ ។ ហើយឧប្បទ្ទវហេតុ របៀបនេះ សោធទៀត គឺគ្មាននរណាម្នាក់ គេនឹកស្មានដល់ ថាវាអាចកើតបានទៅរួចឡើយ ។
មែនទេនទៅ នាអំឡុងបុណ្យអំទូកនេះ អ្វីដែលគេព្រួយបារម្ភខ្លាំងនោះ គឺអំពើភេវរកម្ម និងគ្រោះថ្នាក់លិចលង់ទូកឯណោះទៅវិញទេ ! សូមជ្រាបថា ទុក្ឋសោករបស់បងប្អូនខ្មែរយើង​
ដែលបានបាត់បង់ញាតិសន្ដាន ក្នុងព្រឹត្តការណ៍នេះ គឺរកអ្វីមកប្រៀប
ប្រដូចមិនបានឡើយ ។ យើងជាខ្មែរទាំងអស់គ្នា​មានតែការសោកស្ដាយយ៉ាងខ្លាំងជាទីបំផុត ។ ពេលវេលាចេះតែទៅមុខជានិច្ច ពេលវាលាមិនអាចថយក្រោយមកវិញបានទេ។ ដូច្នេះ ឧប្បត្តិហេតុដែលបានកើតឡើងនេះ​ គឺវាជា
បទពិសោធមួយថ្មីទៀតប៉ុណ្ណោះ ដើម្បីយកមកធ្វើជាមេរៀន សម្រាប់ការពារសុវត្តិភាពទៅថ្ងៃក្រោយ តទៅទៀត ។

Oh! come on revolutionist idiot!

Any who were in charge of services need to be responsible for the disaster for poor planning and negligence.

It is really childish to claim no one were responsible for the tragedy.That is only declared by the country with ignorant leaders.

"Unity"is a big word for all mankind,some leaders are able to lead,but some others don't.
If someone uses this word until
s/he keeps the word"justice"in mind.Keep this word in balance.
The "truth"is efficient one.
Be honest to yourself and to the other
people.Then follow the rules of good laws.So be kind
to yourself.The
others will follow you.The
unity,justice,
truth,and the
rules of good
laws become sacred words.
To win Hun Sen
and his gangs until we practice these four words efficiently.
Thank you for reading my blog.

The HUN SEN regime is clearly a BANANA REPUBLIC and a ROGUE STATE. WRONG WILL BE RIGHT; and RIGHT WILL BE WRONG!!! 347 of Khmer deaths and hundreds of injured was still nothing to the inhumane HUN SEN clan. Such a senseless and selfish acts by the HUN regime.
