Please read:

"The government admitted it had overlooked issues of crowd control at the three-day event, which attracted some three million revellers to the capital from all over Cambodia.

"We were concerned about the possibilities of boats capsizing and pick-pocketing. We did well, but we did not think about this kind of incident," government spokesman Khieu Kanharith told AFP.

"The place is private, so they used their own security, and police only helped handle order outside," Kanharith said.
--------
YES I AM RIGHT to write this note for the readers:

First, please do not use the words: "THE PLACE IS PRIVATE."
To say that is to prove that Polices are not well trained yet.

National security is not private security.

The incidents may be happened more than two places at the same time. Polices and Military Polices as well as soldiers, marines must be ready to cope with at any places, any corners,at any rivers, especially at the big concert at the Koh Pich.

Patrol boats must be every where and ready to take action if being called. Helicopters should be ready, too.

Security forces must be well trained, be well trained and be well trained. But the majority of Polices at any corners from airport to sea port have been talking about to find money for their bosses.

More than two million people came to Phnom Penh for their big days of the year. Security must be ready to cope with all kind of unexpectable incidents. If you look at the video recorded on the bridge, there were no security on the scene yet. There was a mess and chaos at the scene.


It is lesson one. How is about lesson two ?

You fuck head..!!! You head is full of fucking political hatred toward CPP and the government, no doubt about that.

They threw water to help to reduce the heat...it increases hydration.

And there is no evidence that say any people was died of electrocution. Just rumours. All interviews with survivors broadcast on all TVs including BBC, CNN, Aljazera, etc. shows clearly that there was no one mention about electrocution, only rumours.

Save your fuck head and mourn for the loss with the whole nation at this time is better than... taking this opportunity to gain you ill intended political benefits.

We know your kind of fuck head well.

Don't be so fucking dumb about this tragedy.This is how it started.First, the fucking bridge was overcrowded with idiots fun seekers knowing that the damned bridge was so jammed like tuna in the can but willfully ignore the danger and cross it anyway,and then THE BRIDGE started to wobble a bit .All of sudden someone in the crowded started to yell that the bridge will be collapsed thus, create instant panic.In the panic situation ,people are running for their lives regardless and that created a giant stampede.And as result well see for yourself.......

2:48 PM,

Quoted from Phnom Penh Post:

A doctor at Calmette hospital, who declined to give his name, said after a preliminary assessment the principal causes of death among the victims he had examined were suffocation and electrocution.

Very sad to see the loss of lives; most travelled afar to have a good time in the city; all lived in the country where there is no planned resource for entertainment. Children would have looked forward to coming to this very special event and saved their hard earning money, just to be able to come.

All happened because the lack of planning in everything .........

People of the world don't understand Cambodia, and think Cambodians are stupid - the whole thing (stampede) was stupid and shouldn't have happened - they never live there, they will never understand. Just like they never understand the funds, that they've handed over to the country for helping Cambodians, hardly reached ordinary Cambodians. Millions have gone to personal accounts.

When will Cambodia be the place, where people feel safe to enjoy life just like most countries in the world?

I hope to live to see it happen, then there will be no more Khmers wanting to live overseas.

The trampede has shown once again how incompetent and irresponsible Hun Sen's Givt is!

Dear Khmer compatriot brothers and sisters,
I think this post is Exactly right!

I fill very sorry for the incident at Koh Pich that Khmer have been suffering again and again; I wish Khmer stop having the tragedies like this from now on. However, what I can see, if Yourn are still behind Hun Sen government, used Hun Sen ‘s hands to help killing Khmer in many different ways like that, Khmer never stop being suffered. This happening, at Koh Pich, is not the final tragedy for Khmer citizen. I do not believe that it is a real accident disaster; it has to have somebody plan to work on it to kill Khmer citizen for weakening us. If my view is correct, you will see Khmer will have a lot more tragedies than this in the near future. Therefore in order to stop something happen like this is to Pull Hun Sen and his clans out of the government (it does not meter how we do it) and change its structure and policies.

Well organized,good leadership,and useful management event are importent in this occasion ;put enough safety police troops(5,000 men )are not sufficient with 3,000,000 people at water festival in Phnom Penh.The safety guards should control people come and go in order into groups.The unarmed troops should not use fists,batons,pistols,water pipes,water hose shooters to our innocent people.Hun Xen,his officials,and police troops put to use the jungle laws.Our nice Khmer people are so frightened with threatening that are making them to run over each other.Many of them get fisted,gunned them with pistols,get beated with metal water pipes,and electric batons to beat them up like animals.The water hose spraises are causing electric shocks and burning them alive.How these stupid troops of police treat their own people like this?

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
