"ពី មុន ខ្ញុំ មិន ដែល ស្អប់ ប៉ូលិស តែ តាំង ពី មាន ការ គំរាម កំហែង អញ្ចឹង មក ខ្ញុំ ស្អប់ ប៉ូលិស ណាស់ សូម្បី ប៉ូលិស សឹង ថា ប៉ូលិស ណា ល្អ ក៏ ខ្ញុំ ស្អប់ ឲ្យ តែ ឃើញ មុខ ប៉ូលិស ស្អប់!"
"Before, I never hate the cops, but since they threatened me, I hate the cops very much. Even if the cop is a good one, I hate him, when I see the cop’s face, I hate them!"
Mrs. Non Sokheng, an activist who fought to demand for proper compensation from the development of Boeung Kak Lake, complained that the land dispute in Boeung Kak Lake left her physical and emotional scars. For the past 4 years that she spent demonstrating, Non Sokheng was able to defend her home from forced eviction, but she almost lost all her family happiness and her family's development.

Cambodia has over 14 millions people but New Zealand has only less than 5 millions look at the difference between the two goverment! And ask Why ? and Why not ?

"Christchurch earthquake:

government wants to demolish 5,000 homes
The New Zealand government has offered to buy thousands of the most badly quake-damaged houses in Christchurch so it can demolish them.

Announcing the buyout plan, John Key, the prime minister, said some land in the worst-hit areas was so unstable it would be impossible to rebuild on it "for many years".
The decision means land in the razed suburbs will effectively be abandoned in the city's rebuild.
Christchurch, the country's second biggest city, was devastated by major earthquakes in September 2010 and again in February this year, and continues to be rocked by strong aftershocks which are causing more damage.

Mr Key said engineers have divided the city, home to 350,000 people, into four zones.

The government will offer to buy all 5,000 properties in the worst affected areas, classed as red zone.
Householders who accept must assign their right to an insurance payout to the government in return.
He estimated the net cost to the government would be up to NZ$635 million (£323 million).

About 10,000 houses in an orange zone need further investigation, while a further 100,000 in a green zone can be rebuilt.
Properties yet to be assessed comprise a white zone.

The worst-hit suburbs are all in low-lying eastern areas of the city that suffered liquefaction, a process in which the ground turns to liquid during the shaking and leaves a quagmire of sludge.
As beleaguered residents, frustrated by months of waiting for the announcement, pored over online maps to see which zone their street was in, Mr Key pledged: "The government remains fully committed to rebuilding Christchurch."

He went on: "Since September last year, the government has been working to provide certainty for residents, while recognising many people have their life savings tied up in their homes."
The prime minister said the move was "the next step in the government's ongoing work to give the people of greater Christchurch a clearer picture of what their future holds".

The cost of rebuilding Christchurch has been estimated at NZ$15 billion (£7.6 billion) or more."

FUCK THOSE POL POT COPS

I see them (cop) as a thief, especially traffic cop. They'd robbed you in daylight.
Just recently return from a trip to Cambodia. There were so many road block by these thieves, it's not even funny.
I got pulled over (wave me to the side) and the cops told me that I was riding on a student-only road? What the fuck is a.........student-only road?!

The CPP and Hun Sen are only good with Cambodians.

They won't dare touching any illegal Vietnamese living in Cambodia, especially those on the Tonle Sap great lake.

Typical Khmer leader!

Sihanouk sacrifices Cambodia's and her people's interests by working with the Vietnamese, KR and now Hun Sen in order to protect his royal interests so as victims of his stupid and destructive policies and decisions, we can get back at him by stopping to support monarchy.

Just give a fucking middle finger to the royal institution and the king and stop participating in any royal celebration or activity. Monarchy will slowly die for sure.

All X-Khmer Rouge or Khmer Rouge defectors and Khmer Vietminh are all over in Cambodia. What are you calling them? Vietnam's Puppet aren't they? If they are Vietnam 's puppet, do you think they are serving the Cambodian people? I don't know your answer, but I do have mine, I know that they are not serving Cambodian peple, but ANGKA, the Communism. They will continue to hurt Cambodian people physically and emotionally no matter what unless Cambodia are free from Hun Sen's regime. Political activists, students and farmers and others, please stand up to fight for your freedom. Communist are merciless, and you can beg them for their mercy or tolerance. It is our chance to show the world...that you value LIFE, oppression is no to LIFE.
