“I just want to ask you [authorities] whether you're at peace when this happens within your area of responsibility and your carelessness.”
A leading rights activist says last week's deadly bridge stampede and the authorities' response to it reflect a poor safety and security system that needs addressed for large events.
In order to avoid a future disaster, Cambodia must now focus on safety measures, including building structures, training of security teams and safety exits, said Thun Saray, president of the rights group Adhoc, as a guest on “Hello VOA.”
The Diamond Bridge stampede left 351 dead and 395 injured at last count, one of the worst disasters in decades, and authorities, including Prime Minister Hun Sen, have said no one will be held directly accountable.
A government investigating committee said the stampede was caused when thousands of people panicked on a swaying suspension bridge, leaving victims trampled and asphyxiated.
“We don't want to say who is right or wrong,” Thun Saray said. “But this is an experience for which we have to examine our preparedness so as not to have such an event in the future.”
Callers to Monday's program demanded to see more responsibility for the fatal disaster.
“As a Cambodian, I want to make sure that the lives of my countrymen lost in the incident do not go in vain,” said caller Sok Pheary, from Phnom Penh. “I just want to ask you [authorities] whether you're at peace when this happens within your area of responsibility and your carelessness.”
Thun Saray said Cambodia was not ready to push officials to resign over the incident.
“Our country does not have a culture of accountability as in civilized countries,” he said.

The State of
Cambodia is a
ghost state or
a ghost house,because
no one is responsible for
the ghost Diamond Island
bridge.This bridge doesn't
build in Cambodia,it builds 1,000,000
miles below
Cambodia state.
This is why you Khmers have such idiot leader like Hun Shin, keep voting for him next time, your stupid Khmers.
Hun Sen has more Crimes than any other in Cambodia.
His Crimes Such as :
1)- Brought Yuon to Invade Cambodia.
2)- Created K-5 plan.
3)- Bombast in front of the old ASS.
4)- Coup D'etat 1997
5)- Koh Pich Murder
All these crimes are enough evidences for International Prosecution.
I ask all khmer to file International lawsuit against Hun Sen for his "Axis of Evil" on Khmer People. And make The CASE "OO4" for KRT. backed by United Nation.
អាឆ្កែកញ្ជះយួនបីក្បាល ហ៊ុន សែន, ហេងសំ រិន, ជាស៊ីម
បើគ្មានសមត្តភាពទេ ល្មមចុះចេញពីតំណែងទៅ ទុកឱ្យ លោកសម រង្ស៊ី នឹង លោកកឹមសុខា ធ្វើវិញម្ដង។
REGULAR KHMER PEOPLE ARE HELPING THE VICTIMS INSTEAD OF THE SECURITY
IN CHARGE. NOW WE KIND OF UNDERSTAND WHY THE AUTHORITY CANNOT PROPERLY COUNT THE NUMBER OF
DEATHS OR WOUNDED.
Put Tom Neay: Hoon Xen will be killed in 2012 by the people. All Cambodia will rise up to make this Put Tom Neay happen.

ជម្ងឺប្រវត្តិសាស្ត្រ
ខ្មែរស្លាប់អត់មានអ្នកដឹងឮ
នេះជាជម្ងឺក្នុងសង្គម
ស្លាប់រាស្ត្រតូចតាចរួចអ្នកធំ
គេកែនប្រជុំថាទោសគ្មាន ។
ពីដើមរៀងមកអ្នកខុសរស់
គ្រាន់តែដូរឈ្មោះរស់នៅបាន
ដូរស្រុកដូរទេសអត់តាមដាន
ខ្លះរស់សុខសាន្តរហូតស្លាប់។
ប្រទេសទាំងមូលគ្មានអ្នកត្រង់
សុទ្ធមារយាទបង់ ប៉ិនចំណាប់
បោកប្រាសអ្នករស់លស់អ្នកស្លាប់
មិនមានចងចាប់មន្ត្រីណា ។
ខ្មែរស្លាប់ម៉ឺន សែនលានក៏ដោយ
ក៏មិនស្ដាយក្រោយ ឬខ្លោចផ្សា
អ្នកដឹកនាំត្រូវគ្រប់ហេតុការណ៍
អត់ច្បាប់មាត្រាណាចោទបាន ។
ជម្ងឺនេះធំណាស់ខ្មែរអើយ
ល្មមភ្ញាក់ខ្លួនហើយពីសម្រាន្ដ
ទារសិទ្ធិសេរីគ្រប់ៗប្រាណ
ទើបខ្មែរសុខសាន្ដនៅគង់វង់ ។
