On Monday 18, in front of members of Parliament, Keat Chhon, the minister of Economy and Finance, claimed that he will take measures against corrupt Social Welfare ministry officials for losing more than $5 million in retirement funds.
Keat Chhon – who was an advisor of KR leader Pol Pot – said that, currently, the Anti-Corruption Unit is taking legal measures against these officials.
Keat Chhon’s claim came after the opposition party and the civil society stated that the corrupt officials who stole retirement funds should be brought to face legal charges. Two weeks ago, the ministry of Economy and Finance ordered Ith Sam Heng, the minister of Social Welfare, to pay back to the ministry of Economic and Finance more than $5 million of funds lost.

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,
ដើម្បីអោយមានប្រសិទ្ធិភាព សម្តេចនាយកគួរ
តែហ៊ានដកហូតតួរនាទីរដ្ឋមន្រ្តីភា្លមៗ បើសិនជា
រដ្ឋមន្រ្តីនោះមានកំហុស ដោយមិនចាំបាច់ធ្វើការ
ព្រមានដដែលៗជាហេតុធ្វើអោយសាធារណជន
អស់ជំនឿរលើសេចក្តីប្រកាស។
ក្នុងករណីរដ្ឋមន្រ្តី អ៊ិត សំហេង នេះគួរតែត្រូវដក
ចេញជាគំរូ ទើបទឹកមាត់សម្តេចមានតម្លៃ បើគ្រាន់
តែស្រែកហើយទុកអោយកែលំអវិញ អ្នកក្រោយ
មិនខ្លាចទេពីព្រោះដឹងចិត្តអស់ហើយ។
Mr. Keat,
You don't punish corrupted minister by withholding the ministry's budget! That would only hurt the staff and people who receive the service from the ministry. The responsible culprits should be hauled to jail or be fired from their jobs.
No way, Jose! In my beloved homeland under the wicked leadership of sam-ach Hun Sen, when something like that is lost, it'll be lost forever. យកលុយមកឱ្យវិញមានតែភ្លេី!
in this no ethic country...Hun Sen will say dont blam anyone..we will just look into the future just like the November death. No to blame just continue on and forget the pass.
9:14pm $%^#%^@#&%!!!
Ah Kwack only look the front end of his dick!
cambodia must put in place a serious anti-corruption watchdog! don't ignore or let any one of them get away! they are cheating and stealing form cambodia and the khmer people!

The International Court of Justice must also rule on the Vietnamese encroachment into Cambodia's teritory on the Eastern part of Cambodia as well.
