At least 4 Beer Girls were injured when a beer company’s vehicle rammed into them when these women were standing in front the beer company’s office located north of the Kbak Thnol sky bridge on Monday. The Beer Girls were demanding that the beer company follows the labor arbitration committee’s order to double the salary of Beer Girls who work on Sundays to $4 per day.

About 40 demonstrators who work for the Angkor beer company held banners and shouted their demand for the beer company to provide them with long term contract rather the short term contract they now have. They also demanded the freedom to join labor unions as well.

Ms. Tan Chamrong, a representative of the Beer Girls, told reporters that this strike takes place after the labor arbitration committee issued its decision for Beer Girls working on Sundays to receive double [daily] wage at $4 per day. However, the beer company rejected this decision. Ms. Tan Chamrong added: “The (beer) company owner warned us not to join labor unions, otherwise he will fire us.”

We cannot simply allow these Beer Girls to scatter around like cockroaches. Are there any other things these people can come up with? Come on, you're only hinder the country. Now it's to disperse. The country must move forward (not backward).

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?

Smart Khmer girl, President Ms. Rattana Keo, (I like it in the ass)

At least 4 Beer Girls were injured when a beer company’s vehicle rammed into them.

Those injured girls were taken to the HOTEL instead of HOSPITAL, for special treatment.
