A fight over a confiscated camera led to armed guards opening fire with AK-47s and seriously injuring three protesters in Battambang province’s Phnom Proek district yesterday, a victim said.

Speaking from a hospital bed, Soeng Heang told the Post that about 200 people from Phnom Proek district had gathered to protest against the measuring of disputed land by government officials and representatives of developer Suon Mean Sambath Company.

Soeng Heang, who was recovering after being shot in the thigh, said authorities were in the process of seizing the land and measuring it for redistribution to Suon Mean Sambath Company, a move that angered residents and left them without compensation.


“Because of not being content with such measuring, we have prohibited it,” he said.

“This is the third time that we have protested, because there has been no resolution for people,” he said.

He said residents and company representatives had been taking photos of each other’s activity, and tensions had flared when company representatives confiscated residents’ cameras.

A physical clash ensued before guards working for Suon Mean Sambath began shooting, Soeng Heang said.

Soeng Heang and the other victims, Chot Kun, 52, and Chhoeung Neang, 28, live in Phnom Proek district’s Bour commune.

Yin Mengly, an Adhoc investigator based in Battambang province, said residents had told him that the guards had fired with AK-47s.

“Using this weapon was not to defend themselves from people protesting. This shooting was intended to prevent people from protesting again,” he said.

Phnom Proek district police chief Sok Sopheak said police had no involvement in the shooting, but suspected that a military police official, Chan Ny, was one of the shooters. “Based on the information I received, he is Lieutenant Colonel Chan Ny, but I don’t know where he is from,” Sok Sopheak said.

He said the company had a licence to occupy the land but had no right to use AK-47s.

Chan Ny and Suon Meansambath Company could not be reached for comment.

The future of real Khmer people will be just slavery that employ by Youn. The reason is real Khmer people have no lands to farm and Youn are take over all Khmer people lands for 99 years.

Hey Dumb Vietgooks and Vietgook lady Ms. Soap, Smart Asses/Clever Killers! Khmer people are not dumb, but Khmer people are very peaceful people who don't create warm. You Dumb Vietgooks like to make wars and play games with other. It is too late for your Vietgook to play the dirty tricks like your Vietgook had done in the past like the Vietgook War with Americans. Then You Vietgook the create the secret and dirty plan in the blind eyes of International communities and you have tried to fool foreigners as much as you can. However, you, Vietgooks can't because Khmer people all over the world and international communities caught your bad and evil acts, playing to be smart ass to kill Khmer and Laotian people to spread ugliest Vietgookization that has ugly culture and ugly tone.

Go ahead to spread the Vietgookization, Ms. Vietgook Lady, Ms. Soap. You are very good to deceive men to show some cock for you, but no man want to fuck your ugly Virgina even though you are so pretty Vietgook lady and because you are a very bad lady to cause a lot of problem in Cambodia and support your illegal Vietgooks living in Cambodia. What a mess, Ms. Vietgook lady Ms. Soap. You are no different as Vietgook secret agents hiding among Khmer society to quietly kill innocent Khmer people who are very peaceful people who did not like to make wars. You Ms. Soap and your Vietgooks try to kill innocent and peaceful Khmer people who live there where you ugly Vietgook bitch and your illegal Vietgooks living in Cambodian on purpose in order to steal land by your committed evil murderous acts and overtake everything from Cambodia. You Ms. Soap and your Vietgooks are the same as secret Vietgook/Yuon agents hiding among Khmer Rouges Regime that murdered innocent and people Khmer people, trying to accuse Pol Pot, Nuon Chea, and every Khmer Rouges as Killers instead. How clever and smart your Vietgooks and you Vietgook lady (named yourself Ms. Soap) are today. Stop playing the trick and dirty game or plan with Khmer people and foreigners or International Communities. You Vietgook lady and your Vietgooks always think the U.S. to ignore or that the U.S. does not know about your dirty secret plan to wipe out Khmer people and your Vietgooks manipulate the U.S. to hate innocent and peaceful Khmer people with no reason. Your Vietgooks keep fooling the U.S. and Europeans and International communities. We, Khmer people, have a lot of things to say how bad and evil you Vietgook lady and Vietgook folks are in everywhere around the globe.

If something occur badly between Yuon/Vietgook and Khmer people in the U.S., there will be a lot of noise about Vietgook country and folks that are dog eaters and eat everything animals and creatures until they are not existed anymore. Bad Vietgook dog eaters.

Please Khmer people in the U.S. and abroad let's make noise and chant on the street or protest against Vietgook folks like Ms. Soap and her evil Vietgook government in Cambodia and Laos to change and manipulate other foreigners in the blind eyes of International Communities.

Vietgook lady named herself Ms. Soap, tries to spread her dirty and unreliable comments to fool young Khmer, Vietgook children to confuse and be brainwashed to kill Khmer people, believe wrong and rewritten history about Vietgookization. Vietgook culture and language are very ugly and boring. Vietgook copied the ideas of how to make Khmer food everywhere their Vietgook restaurants. For example, fresh spring roll, rice mercelli, all kinds of Khmer food to be Vietgook food.

Please Khmer people make noise about Vietgook and don't wait until the world know how bad Vietgook fooks are because of the manipulation and accusation of this Vietgook Bitch named herself Ms. Soap.

Then the people in the world will stop Vietgook folks and government to kill Khmer people including Laotian people before Vietgook folks and their ugly government to take over the lands and make their ugly and disgusted Vietgookization/Vietnamization.
