Development That Destroys Lives

05 January 2012
By Mu Sochua

The destruction of Borei Keila community on 3 January and the manner in which this act of grave violation of human rights by the government was conducted is total déjà vu.

In the name of development and progress

It is the usual main reason the prime minister signs an agreement with a company directly connected to his party senators, members of parliament and his own family.

Take it or leave it

The people are informed only after the agreement is signed. Any form of protest is met with threat of arrest and of actual arrest.

Under the pretest that the people have no official documents, they must accept the government offer: move to a new location and take a token amount of cash and a few kilos of rice, soy sauce and salt.

Day of demolition

  • Step 1: Truck loads of police arrive with hired youth with special arm band
  • Step 2: people panic, fight back
  • Step 3: police use of force - electric batons, tear gas, guns
  • Step 4: arrests of strong protesters even of children


  • Step 5: detention and charges by court
  • Step 6: company excavators crush what the hired youth have demolished
  • Step 7: new fence put up - private property. Any trespassing is a crime
When asked for explanation, the typical answer from authorities: "Ask my superior. I am here to execute order from the top"


Déjà vu: "Ask Anka Leu" 2 million Cambodians killed by the Khmer Rouge

Mission accomplished.

Next contract - Next community.

Signed: by the order of Prime Minister Hun Sen.

If these don't provoke Lotus Revolution in Cambodia that is very great new to CPP because Cambodians are now scare of war and very chicken shit coward. They can't even form unity to stand for what is right!

From now on CPP can do anything in Kingdom of wonder without worry about any bullshit Lotus Revolution or Jasmine revolution chicken shit anymore.

It is the fail of Khmer people themself, not other.

"ANKA" chea nor na?

"Anka Leu" is from Hanoi.

Khmer, please wake up. 3 millions+ are enough. We should be wise by now. Stop follow every order from Anka Leu, your family and nation will be destroyed.

8:11am was talking about his mother who was a cheap hooker.
She's in bed with me naked now.

She told me that 8:11am is always rude like that because he doesn't have a father to discipline him because he is the product of her being raped by CCP cop while she was working as a hooker at Wat Phnom one night.

Dear friends at KI,

Can you create a comment section beside the web page like in Khmernzblogspot.com so we can carry on the discussion?

The comment sections at the bottom of each story that you have now always disappear as soon as you update new stories.

Mu Sochua is right in her article.

Hun Sen uses the same tactic used by Vietnam to suppress its own protesters by using uneducated hired youth.

In Vietnam they use thugs known as militia to kick and beat anyone who dares to protest against the ruling government and they make it look like these are ordinary people who love the regime.

The only way to stop or at least reduce such abuses of power on the part of the PM and his business cronies is the country-wide awakening of the ordinary Khmer citizens to condemn openly such an act.

Unfortunately Cambodian people tend to ignore such an issue if they are not directly affected in the short run and lend no hands to their neighbours who are affected.

If the ordinary people in the country do help through public outcry and demonstrations, especially the students, then perhaps some good CPP members and military officials within the government would be bold enough to topple this cruel PM.

This is just like in the 60-70s when Norodom Sihanouk was overthrown by his own generals with strong student demonstration to support such act.

The only people that can topple Hun Sen is those within the rank and file of his government who still have enough conscience to say to themselves that enough is enough!

I believe those who cursed me in my previous comments would love what I write now!

Or who knows I may still get cursed anyway, but this time by Hun Sen's cronies for attacking their PM.

So it does not matter what I write, I get cursed anyway; just like KI Media who has both friends and enemies!

Welcome to Cambodian politics! Cambodians will curse each other till nobody speaks Cambodian anymore!

By the way I am not that old; you may be surprised when you meet me.

Is there any Yuon in this group. I believe no one.

Before they do that, the secret agent yuon (sit next to Hun Sen's office) already told their people to sell their properties with low price. They help them and give some money to them to live in different place in Srok Khmer.

Khmer see that then rush and buy these properties. After yuon move out, then the government start to do the job.

You can see today. Khmer cry, Yuon laugh.

I want you answer this question.

Is that true or not?

To a pro-Vietnamese puppet regime
Hun Sen, Heng Samrin, Chea Sim :

Why Khmer oppose January 7, 1979 ???
It’s the day Vietnamese killing more Khmer, strafing people,
Burning houses, seizing cattle and properties, raping , K5
Plan and occupation in Cambodia.

An ancient story known to all Cambodians tells of Vietnamese
Conquerors burying Khmer up to their necks, in groups of three,
forming a triangle. A fire was made in the area between the
victims. They then put a kettle over the Khmer’s heads to boil
water for master’s tea. The Khmer were told to keep their heads still
and “not to spill the master’s tea.”

Will it happen again ?
If the history has repeated, then Khmer haven’t learned anything!
