"Never Doubt" by Dr. Gaffar Peang-Meth

Dear Friends,

I invite you to take about two minutes to watch a slide show I've put together on Youtube titled "Never Doubt." The slides illustrate a chronology of military events in northwestern Cambodia between 1980 and 1989.

I was present as a member of the Khmer People's National Liberation Armed Forces opposing Vietnamese occupation of Cambodia and personally captured most events on camera. The background music is provided by Dr. Kang Kem.

I hope you find the presentation informative, the photos and the quotes inspirational, and will feel that the time spent watching the slides was worthwhile.

Sincerely,

Gaffar Peang-Meth, Ph.D.

so, what? If Pol Pot didn't kill his own people, Vietnam had not reason to come. Don't just blame on others.

Thais would have already been in Phnom Penh if the majority of Khmers are not united

To X-KPNLF's members. I used to read the article by Dr. Peang-Meth, that the ideas is never stupid, but only the people are! I agreed with this point! Whethere the ideas behind the KPNLF or the Lon Nol regime ... it means well for the Khmer Nation, but the people in there were just stupid to carry out the good ideas. Thus, people come to know that ideas through the people that call themselves Lonalist or KPNLF-ist can no longer recessitate these back to life. What I see is you can keep the ideas, but changing name and there could be a possibility to lead a moverment again.

But personally, I wouldn't not support any violence to take over the regime and just to be replace with another regime (hope that Dr. Peang-Meth agreed on this). What I believe is that...in orhter to see the long last Cambodia peace for the nation and her people is throught building the human capcity/eduation...allow them choose there own destiny (but I can reassure you that this will be taking a long time); but again, as Dr. Peang-Meth said if you want to see a quick result plant rice, 10 yrs result plant trees, but if you want to see the result in a 100 yrs, plant/build human capital (educate people)....ala...too many lessons to learn...so little times.

BTW, Heng Soy...any comment on this youtube? If you can forward this message to Ta P-Long Beach, I'm still waiting for his weekly music...or unless you can contact Yeay Tep to ask Ta P-LB to sent her these songs...generation X miss the songs!

Is Kem Sokha still declare himself as KPNLF member? Or he prefers to be Mr. Hun's pupet?

All Khmers,

Don't be fooled up by Hanoi-Hun Sen's strategy.

Kem Sokha is 200 % Hun &Hanoi's puppet.

11:53 am,

Don't worry, many people know this already. Way back in the national lection in 2008, he said that he was going to win 51 seats in the National Assembly and read his lip not 1 and 5, but 5 and 1. Given all the people support him during the campaign, I thought that he would at least win 15, but insteat he only win 05! Than the question was ... where did he got all those money to support his campaign? Of course, it was only one strong man in Cambodia than can support him!! No doubt!! ha! ha! Of course, unless people are "stupid" enough to believe that KS got those money from the poor Khmer for his lavist campaign..than it is their stupiddity they remain to maintain the current regime...

Thank you for sharing this parable video of the past. True history is a collection of facts that we all should use for future references and make things happen for the best future.

Don't talk about unimportant issue.
Don't talk about garment striking.
Don't talk about a few acres land grapping.
Don't talk about people begging.
Focus on the big picture, the big issue of Vietnamese population expansion freely in Cambodia.

How are we going to do anything about this peacefully, legally without the use of violence against anyone???

Demand, Demand, Demand until the illegal Vietnamese floating village in Tonle Sap,in Phnom Penh and else where in Cambodia move back to Vietnam.

Demand, Demand, Demand until a new immigration law is put in place and legally enforce it.

If the immigration law is finally put in place by the government but a fake enforcement or not enforce at all, then you must demand, demand, demand until the government enforce it, until the illegal Vietnamese floating villages in Tonle Sap remove, until the illegal Vietnamese population in Phnom Penh and else where in Cambodia.

In any country, if any anyone enter the country illegally, the government of that country will deport these illegal people back to their orgin country.

In Thailand, in the USA(United State of America), in Europe, Canada, Australia and everywhere, they have immigration law and they enforce it strictly.

In Cambodia, we do not have immigration law to stop Vietnamese from entering and living illegally in Cambodia. In Tonle SAP, there are thousand and thousand of illegal Vietnamese multiplying on many floating villages. They build school and have their own security guards with machine gun protecting their own illegal Vietnamese in our Tonle Sap lake and rivers. The Mekong Rivers from Vietnam to Cambodia have no immigration safeguard. Illegal Vietnamese are moving back and forward from Vietnam freely on both land and Mekong Rivers. This illegal expansion, must be stop now.

In 50 years, Cambodia will be another Kampuchea Krom. That's the ultimate goal of Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh's dream. If they cannot rule Cambodia by force, they will rule by population expansion.

How do we stop this???
First step:

Demand, Demand, Demand. Rise up peacefully and demand, demand, demand the government of Cambodia to pass the immigration law and enforce it. You must follow up the enforcement to see if the government is really enforce it or not.

I'm not asking anyone to kill anyone. I'm not asking anyone to destroy our country. I'm not asking anyone to create chaos. I'm not asking anyone to chase tourists or investors away. I'm not asking anyone to deter the government reconstruction, rebuilding the country. I'm not asking anyone to attack any neighboring country. I'm not asking anyone to attack Hun Sen, Sihanouk, Sam Rainsy,CPP party, Funcipec or any party. I'm asking all of us Khmer to demand, demand, demand the government of Cambodia to come up with an immigration law and enforce it, strictly focusing on the illegal Vietnamese expansion in Cambodia. I'm asking all of us to think logically , intelligently using a friendly, none violent strategy to accomplish the goal to safeguard Khmer land and Khmer population.
