Even Hun Xen NEEDS to READ KI-MEDIA: Once again, the Cambodian government is accused in recent weeks of shutting down KI-Media because it published an article claiming that Hun Xen suffers from lung cancer because he smokes cigarettes, however, Hun Xen reacted by saying sternly that he does not have lung cancer and that he continues to puff cigarettes. Hun Xen added that those who will die first is not him, but it is the KI-Media group which looked down on him.
Because a number of Internet users cannot access the KI-Media website in the past, some believe that this website is shut down by the government.

A high-ranking government official claimed that the government has no plan to shut down the KI-Media website because this site criticizes and attacks the Cambodian government leaders and high-ranking government officials. The official indicated that the government needs to read and follow up on various critical information and that it is important to preserve the freedom to receive information, freedom of expression and freedom of the press in Cambodia (sic!).

The claim was made by Khieu Kanharith, the Xmer minister of Information, during the World Press Freedom Day on 03 May 2011 in Phnom Penh which was attended by the president of the journalist association, UNESCO representatives and about 200 information students.

Khieu Kanharith, who is also the government mouthpiece, said that KI-Media is useful for the public and the government as well: “Accusing the government, we did not shut down KI-Media, but if it is blocked, it is another story, but when it comes to shutting it down, we don’t shut it down. Don’t ask us anymore, the government’s goal is not to shut it down and I need to read it also, so I may know what they are doing, their activities.”


SRP MP Mu Sochua said in reaction to Khieu Kanharith’s claim that KI-Media website is still inaccessible during the past few weeks: “We know clearly that a government official sent an email ordering Internet Service Provider to block this website.”

Pen Samithi, the president of the Cambodian Club of Journalists, said that he welcomes the government’s standing: “The comment made by His Excellency [Khieu Kanharith] regarding KI-Media in the past and in the present shows that there is a clear opening for our entire society.” (sic!)

KI-Media is a website that supports the SRP, the largest opposition party in Cambodia. It always criticizes and attacks the government leaders and top government officials.

In December 2010, the Cambodian government was accused of shutting down KI-Media once already because it accused directly Hun Xen, Chea Xim, Heng Xamrin and Var Kim Hong of being traitors who sold Cambodian land to the Viets.

Once again, the Cambodian government is accused in recent weeks of shutting down KI-Media because it published an article claiming that Hun Xen suffers from lung cancer because he smokes cigarettes, however, Hun Xen reacted by saying sternly that he does not have lung cancer and that he continues to puff cigarettes. Hun Xen added that those who will die first is not him, but it is the KI-Media group which looked down on him.

scum CPP trying to spy on Ki-media comments and faked good heart is nothing good to feed Khmer hungers and homeless by scum CPP government.

CPP asked Thai to halt the fight on border to give more time for the Vietnamese troops deployments to Thai border. I felt very sad to Khmer people that suffering on the border war for nothing.

Seriously everyone spy each other. Of cause Hun Xen and other government affiliat with cpp sneak in to read ki news. If they say no, they are lying. It a juicy website. Sometime a commentors story is more interesting than the news itself. They can thought free without people really know who they are. Therefore, some information can be very useful for the government to pay attention. Such as many Khmer fell the gov. Destroy the country by letting viet population to expand all over Cambodia. Secondly, people concern about land lost, human rights, corruption and last issue is the eviction. I hope the current government can improve the above issues. And my last request to the Hun Xen, can you clean out corruption at the pochitong airport? Stop harrast tourists for
money under the table. Will you beef up their moral?

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 everyday.

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?

Var Kim Hong does recognize that Cambodia, if compared to the colonial Service Geographique de l’Indochine scale map 1/100,000 and the 1985 delimitation treaty, will loses 9,000 hectares; and compared to U.S Army Mapping Service scale map 1/50,000 with the 1985 Treaty, would lose about 7,900 hectares to Vietnam. This statement was confirmed by Var Kim Hong to Mr. Touch Bora Esq through a telephone conversation on 30 August 2002 at 4:30 p.m. (Sydney time), which Mr. Touch Bora Esq wrote in his letter dated on 9 September 2002 sent to Sam Dach Ta Noroudom Sihanouk concerning over border affairs.
In fact, the loss is absolutely more than the 1000 square kilometers stated by MP Sam Rainsy in his statement, if we add the size of the historical water of 30000 square kilometers awarded to Vietnam under the 1982 Agreement which has been into affect and now already become under the full control of Vietnam. And this would not be the last if the equidistance principle be used to delimit the maritime boundary, Cambodia will lose an additional area of sea and seabed measuring at least 860 square nautical miles from the Brevie Line to the north, analyzed by Mr. Touch Bora Esq or another 10000 square kilometers confirmed by Mr. Sean Pengse, the President of the Cambodian Border Committee Worldwide, which exclusively include another Koh Poula Wai to Vietnam added to the previous lost islands- Koh Tral (Dao Phu Quoc) and Koh Poulo Panjang (Dao Thu Chu).

This is why sVar Kim Hong said in front of Students´s Movement for Democracy (SMD), and Sam Dach Ta Norodom Sihanouk on 22 Janaury 2000 during our audience with him concerning the border resolution with Vietnam that; “If we want peace, we must sacrifice our flesh to the tiger.” The truth is discovered now that, “Sacrifice the flesh to tiger actually means cutting our land to the Viet.” This word was clearly spoken out from his mouth and there were Sam Dach Ta as witness and 31 members.

We must condemn this Var Kim Hong for his role in helping the traitorous regime of Hun Sen.
