Border shooting

One Cambodian man was killed and four others injured on Sunday afternoon after they were shot by Thai soldiers after illegally crossing the border from Oddar Meanchey province into Thailand’s Sisaket province. Trapaing Prasat district police chief Keo Tan said that Thai soldiers fired on a group of five Cambodians from Kampong Thom province’s Baray district after they were allegedly found logging rosewood two kilometres inside Thai territory. He identified the deceased man as 43-year-old Si Boeun. “Khmer authorities have contacted the Thai side to ask for the Cambodian body to be taken back [to Cambodia],” the police chief said. He added that the four other victims who were shot are already back in Cambodia, where they are receiving treatment for their injuries at the Oddar Meanchey provincial hospital.

I don't mean to be cruel. But these men knows the danger of going into barbarian jungle people country, they risked of being killed. But is still doing it. They're like night bugs that attracted to night lights. They can't help themselves. They knew their fates.

Where is Ah Hun Sen? he doesn't care about Khmer life. Khmer life is cheaper than Youn life. If Khmer kills Youn, Hun Sen will jump from his seat and find the killer. But, Thai did whatever they want to kill Khmer. Even cutting the wood Thai can't shoot and kill the invader. The most they can do is to arrest. Did American border patrol between Mexico and America shoot and kill the Mexican people crossing the border illegally? Even the drug traffickers who bring the drug via the border won't get kill by American patrol. They just arrest them and send them back to their country.

We, Khmer, should stand up and protest against the killing of Khmer people by Thai killer.

Down to Thai and the king who never smile.
