The 62nd Annual Kampuchea Krom Loss Memorial Buddhist Service occurs on June 4, 2011 marking the darkest period in the history of the Khmer nation, where colonial France ceded Khmer Kampuchea Krom territory to colonial Vietnam to continue colonizing her until today. Since that time Kampuchea Krom territory has been carpeted with flesh and blood of Khmer men and women in an ongoing struggle to preserve the Khmer race, religion, art, culture, literature, language, and a magnificent tradition.
In order for Khmers to remember their history and express their respect and know the bravery of their heroes, the Khmer Kampuchea Krom Community around the world annually organizes a Buddhist Offering Ceremony to 1,949 Buddhist Monks since the new millennium (2000) to commemorate the day colonial France gives Khmer territory to Vietnam and to honor the heroic Buddhist monks, heroic monarchs, heroes, heroines, war heroes and heroines, and fallen armed forces personnel.
In order to organize a successful historic ceremony as in past years, the organizing committee would like to appeal to Your Venerable, Buddhist monks, you and compatriots to please give your support by making your contribution, in any forms and money, in according to your generosity.
Your support and participation as well as our compatriots are profound gestures of respect and gratitude upon our heroic Khmer Buddhist monks, heroic monarchs, heroes, heroines, brave servicemen and women and fallen compatriots.
A highest representative of His Majesty Norodom Sihamoni, King of Cambodia, will preside over the ceremony on June 4, 2011 commencing at 7:00AM to 11:30AM at a public garden in front of Wat Botumvatei in Phnom Penh, Kingdom of Cambodia.
The Organizing Committee would like to express our appreciation to Your Venerable, you and compatriots for your patriotism and donations. May you achieve the four blessings of the historic Lord Buddha: Longevity, Brightness, Healthiness and Strength…infinitely.
Thank you.

SPECIAL BRAKING NEWS!
Hun Sen wants to keep the Preah Vihear conflict going because he wants the Thai to kill all the Khmer Rouge soldiers inside the RCAF. He doesn't trust the KR. He fears a military coup the longer the Khmer Rouge Trial continues and the conditions in Cambodia are getting worst.
This is an inside information!

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 30,000 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 30,000km2 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 30,000 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 every day.
Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that resulted in the loss over 30,000 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?
Koh Tral was a Cambodian island, and technically and legally, remained a Cambodian island until today.
Smart Khmer girl Ms. Rattana Keo,
I wish this group would disappear from the face of the earth. All they do is create another group to divide up the human resources from KKF who is working diligently to bring justice for the Khmer-Krom people.
This divide and conquer tactic has been in used for since time immemorial. If one follow this group closely, all they do is repeating what KKF does.
What's surprise me most is that the leader Thach Setha is in Phnom Penh and he is freely and safely travel all over Cambodia. Compare to the Khmer-Krom monk who led one of the protest back in 2007 got his throat cut and buried the next day.
Now the question is why is Thach Setha untouch by the YUON?
Have you all heard any news that Thach Setha or any members of his group got any harassment from the Xen or the Youn government?
Please do check out your sources and verify my claim.
One last Big question is, Why does the United States would not issues Thach Setha visa to come in?
Miss Nokor Phnom
He is a secret YN agent sent to Cambodia. All the people in the contact list went to Vietnam freely without any problem.
I don't how stupid Sam Rainsey is to keep in his party.

Forget about the island. It is history. It is now Vietnam's. You can have your children's children claimed it, but it is insurmountable.
Again, the island is no longer belonging to Cambodia--this is the fact.
Please take care of what you already have, and stop worrying about something that you don't have control over it.
Folks,
Don't send your money to this group.
They are scammers.

Your pee splash to your feet!!!
Be careful.
Hey 6:08am, could you explain a little bit more on your thought? because people have different interpretation.
Miss Nokor Phnom, did you know that Thach Setha is band from the US because is was involved with human trafficking that's why the US band him from setting foot in its' soil.
If anybody else know more information regarding this matter please share but only facts not rumors.
Just drop by and leave some thing that I know.
