IceNews (Iceland)
Six Icelandic women around the age of 20 were on board a two-storey pleasure boat which capsized near the resort of Sihanoukville in southern Cambodia on Thursday. All passengers escaped with their lives; but it is considered a miracle that one of the women survived; as she was locked in a bathroom when the boat went over.
The Icelanders have been travelling around Asia in two groups for the last three months. This was the first time they had all met up again and decided to take a pleasure cruise around nearby islands. There were 90 passengers on board, mainly Europeans.
After around an hour at sea, “One of us was in the bathroom and saw that the sea was coming in through the head and she somehow managed to get out,” one of the women, Eva Sigrun Gudjonsdottir told Visir.is.
Some people jumped off the boat before it had the chance to turn over. “I ran for the handrail,” says Gudjonsdottir. “There are very many people in a bad way after that, battered and with broken arms.”
Other boats in the area came to rescue passengers; all of whom escaped — and most without injury. Gudjonsdottir said the scene was one of sheer panic, with people screaming and frantically trying to find their friends.
The women have not been given an explanation for the boat’s accident; but foreign media have reported that it was over crowded and that it capsized because of all the dancing. Gudjonsdottir said, however, that nobody was dancing at the time of the accident. She added that little or no safety equipment appeared to be on board.
The six Icelanders are shrugging off their ordeal to the best of their ability and are continuing with their trip. Next they will visit Vietnam and Thailand.

KAMPUCHEA KROM AT A GLANCE
Kampuchea Krom is composed of 68,965 square kilometers, 21 provinces and municipalities, two large islands - Koh Tral and Koh Tralach, 171 districts, 1,368 communes, 14,778 villages, more than 13 million Khmers, more than 567 Buddhist pagodas and more than 20,000 Theravada Buddhist monks.
99% of populations are Theravada Buddhists.
The Khmer kings, governments, regimes and citizens have never relinquish (give up) this part of their country to foreigners.
Kampuchea Krom has been under an ongoing colonial control since her division from motherland, Cambodia.
June 4, 1949 is the date that the Khmer Kampuchea Krom citizens grieve. The Khmer Kampuchea Krom people have organized Buddhist Service annually to honor the fallen Khmer Buddhist monks and heroes, who sacrificed their lives for Kampuchea Krom and Theravada Buddhism.
Colonial France divided, ceded and transferred Kampuchea Krom to colonial Vietnam on this date. The freedom of Khmer Kampuchea Krom has been mostly stripped by the Vietnamese ruling regimes and governments since. The French colonial administration committed injustice upon the more than 13 million Khmers of this beautiful fertile land.
Justice remains elusive for Cambodia, Kampuchea Krom and her citizens.
And...The struggle to regain freedom and human rights by the Khmers in Kampuchea Krom continues as long as injustice commits by the ruling Vietnamese regime(s) has not produced a fruitful result.
Koh Tral (Tral Island)
in Vietnamese - Phu Quoc island
circa 1939 Vietnamese encroached and conquered
Koh Tral Island has an area of 567 square kilometers; about 62 kilometers long and between 3 kilometers and 28 kilometers wide. The island physically is located closest to Cambodia's Kep seaside city. Visitors can see Koh Tral Island from the coastline of Kep. It is about a 30-minute motorized boat ride.

Koh Tral Island must not be forgotten
By Ms. Rattana Keo
Why do Koh Tral Island, known in Vietnam as Phu Quoc, a sea and land area covering proximately over 10,000 km2 [Note: the actual land size of Koh Tral itself is 574 square kilometres (222 sq miles)] have been lost to Vietnam by whose treaty? Why don’t Cambodia government be transparent and explain to Cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?
Cambodian armies are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 on the Thai border and what's about over 10,000km2 of Cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian armies you are decide the fate of your nation, Cambodian army as well as Cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?
Koh Tral Island, the sea and land area of over 10,000 square kilometres have been lost to Vietnam by the 1979 to 1985 treaties. The Cambodian army at front line as well as all Cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are Cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protecting a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group but disguising as protecting the Khmer nation?
The Cambodian army at front lines suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition and their families have no health care assistance, no securities after they died but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning system with message from young girls, have first class medical care from oversea medical treatments, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make the Cambodian people suffer everyday.
Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that resulted in the loss over 10,000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why they are not being transparent and brave enough to inform all Cambodians and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't they include Koh Tral (Koh Tral size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen and bigger than Singapore [Note: Singapore's present land size is 704 km2 (271.8 sq mi)]) with heap of great natural resources, in the Cambodian education system?
Look at Hun Sen's families, relatives and friends- they are billionaires, millionaires. Where did they get the money from when we all just got out of war with empty hands [in 1979]? Hun Sen always say in his speeches that Cambodia had just risen up from the ashes of war, just got up from Year Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% of innocent Cambodian people are so poor and struggling with their livelihood every day?
Smart Khmer girl Ms. Rattana Keo,

Racist Bitch!
Ms. Rattana Keo's pussy is smelly like Koh TRal's fish source that Viet people make. Her husband drinks fish source from Ms. Rattana Keo 's pussy every day. He is living off her old pussy that smell like Koh Tral fish source. Racist Bitch!
7:21,
I am a real khmer who support Rattana Keo 1000%. What do you think, if you put yourself as a Cambodian. What do you think, if they treat your country bad as your country treat Cambodia? All Khmer know that Youn is very hypocrite to steal Khmer land. Khmer will never forget about the atrocities that Youn did toward Khmer since many hundred years. Watch yourself in the mirror, how hypocrite you are?
You don't know what is the real value. The way you talk look like an animal. You need to review your consciousness. Imagine you talk like that in front of the international world, they will never give you credit. You are showing that you are real cheap as a human being. Which interest do you read Khmer site? The interest is to steal khmer land.
Get lost.
I support u girl. all comments cursed is VN as well. U know if u go to VN all documents are clear before entering but VN come to Cambodia freely. Now they bring the whole family and VN radio and VN community in Cambodia why Govt still allow VN to Cambodia too much? For business people or worker come to khmer freely. I think should govt minimize VN minority to khmer especially now some VN become khmer citizen. in future, we are become under VN control. Friend is friend but nationality is the most important for every nation to protect their own people.
kppm radio (khmer people party mouvement radio has already started. Very good for all Khmer!

Smart, itchy and big hole Khmer widow Rattana Keo,
Hi guys,
Who want to F..k me, please come, but small penis is not welcome. Please don't confuse about I divorced my ex husband. The main reason is he has no skill and weak on the bed.

10:09 AM, I agree with you, my friends. Visiting Communist Vietcong websites is a piss-off. You could not add any comment unless you have a nice thing to say. Otherwise, you would be blocked permanently if you have an account with stupid Vietcong websites. I have been there, not rally a pleasant one!
I don't understand why Vietcong folks are in Cambodia and do anything they want except their disrespectful behaviors. It has happened similarly to the Vietcong folks living in the U.S., Canada, UK, and you name it. Vietcong/Yuon folks are so hypocrite and evil. Youn/Vietcong folks are always so rude and ignorant in the U.S., Canada, Cambodia, UK, etc. However, Youn/Vietnamese bitches and bastards could not be rude in Vietnam. Now, you know why!!!
10:09 AM, also they enjoy the freedom in Cambodia, the U.S., Canada, UK, etc because they like be bitching around like shits.
8:46 AM,
If you call her racist, so why are you in Cambodia illegally anyway? Go back to Communist Vietnam and enjoy your freedom of then Communist's hell!
