Victim’s families complain that they did not receive the promised donation

Translated from Khmer by Soy

During the accident involving almost 1,000 dead and injuries in Koh Pich, several news media, including private and state radio and TV stations, have announced the amount of donation given to the victims.

The government promised to provide to the family of each deceased victim 5 million riels ($1,250), the OCIC development company also promised to give $1,000 to them, King Sihamoni and King-Father Sihanouk announced that they will give $200 each to all the dead victims, and the city of Phnom Penh will give half a million riels ($125).

For those who were injured, the OCIC development company promised to provide $200 for each one of them, the king $100, King-Father Sihanouk $100 and other institutions have also announced that they will provide donations as well.

However the family of the deceased and those who were injured claimed that they have not seen any of the donations announced yet because, as of 25 November, they still don’t know where to go get this donation.

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.

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.

Why Hun Sen says one thing and do the other.

Because Hun Sen is a puppet of Yuon Indochina Federation.

In case some of you live outside of Cambodia in some western countries, you may understand about all the paper works.
It is always the bureaucracy work.
The victims will sure receive all the donations, after having fulfill and clear all the documents.

Let's the scam being! There will be big scam over this tragic event eventuated, Any organisations in side as well as outside of the country must be controlled and audited to ensure transparency and ensure the money reach the victims family as intended. No doubt there will be plenty of money flowing in but I hope we all learn from experience when the official unashamedly take advantage of the tragic event such as 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,

Ouk Savbory,

how many families complained that they haven't gotten the money yet? Don't make the assumption. Are you a reporter? What newspaper agency?
List the families that haven't gotten the money yet.

All they need to do is get the picture and death certificate and they can go to the city or their "pro-tean-poom." In fact, have them call up the t.v. station such as Bayon, CTN, or others and I'm sure they all can assist to it.

my friend's nephew died in the Kos Pich tradedy and he did get the amount that was promised. All they had to do is bring the picture and death certificate to show the city and the money will be given. He got it the day he went to get the corpse.

U got a few people complained cuz they don't know where to go and you're going to write this up and make everyone looks bad?

4:33AM. That kind of mentality is what cause people not to donate. People like u who is tight on giving and so u do whatever u can to prevent others from donating too. So u come up with this so to make yourself feel good for not donating.
