January 7 and the Khmer Rouge Tribunal

Ms. Theary Seng, Dec. 2011
January 11, 2012
By Theary Seng
Letter to The Phnom Penh Post

Dear Editor,

January 7 is indeed a significant day for survivors of the Khmer Rouge. It arrested the macabre convulsions that would have swallowed all of us into a hellish hole if the Vietnamese military had not intervened.

It is a bittersweet day of commemoration through invasion.

And now, unfortunately, it is a day propagandised to be solely the Day of Liberation, neatly sweeping away the equally important fact of it being simultaneously the inaugurating day of an occupation that would last for the next decade.

That occupation began with the barricading of Phnom Penh to facilitate the plundering of its wealth by convoys of trucks heading to Vietnam and the mass crimes of the K5 plan.

My hairdresser remembers returning from Battambang to his home in Boeung Keng Kang I on February 3, 1979, only to find that all the wealthy neighbourhoods of villas and jewellery stores were still barricaded off.

It was an occupation cut short only by the meltdown of the Cold War – specifically, the break-up of the Soviet Union, which funded the Vietnamese occupation of Cambodia.


The rewriting of history in this manner by the current regime is fraught with danger for the longevity of Cambodian stability and peace.

Cycles of past grievances that touch on national identity and humiliation run deep in any society, and no less in Cambodia. Think of the Khmer Kampuchea Kroms and their current suffering and struggles. Think of the underpinnings for the bloodletting in the former Yugoslavia.

It’s not only on January 7 that the regime is revising history to fit its narrow political agenda. The political interference in the Khmer Rouge tribunal speaks to the same dangers.

This regime never wanted the KRT, but once it was inevitable and the regime was confident of its control over the mechanisms of the process, it did everything to achieve and protect its twin goals: to go down in history as the government that put the Khmer Rouge on trial and, concurrently, to erase its own Khmer Rouge history and crimes.

With the United Nations’ stamp of approval, the CPP regime is achieving exactly that.

No counterbalancing, competing narratives are permitted or have the resources and official, institutional dissemination systems to match it.

Thus, January 7 is paradoxical for Cambodians who are simultaneously survivors of the Khmer Rouge, survivors of the K5 plan under the Vietnamese occupation, and continuing survivors of a regime that desperately needs to whitewash its history of the Khmer Rouge and has indebted political ties to Vietnam – a dangerous liaison, in light of the two countries’ historical enmity over territorial annexation.

Stated differently, January 7 is a paradoxical and conflicting date for us who are Cambodian victims of the Khmer Rouge, Cambodian victims of the Vietnamese occupation and Cambodian victims of a regime with unhealthy political and historical ties to both the Khmer Rouge and the Vietnamese military.

January 7 initially made us deliriously grateful, then wearily suspicious. That is the tension.

The international communities should understand Vietnam's true intention of trying to mold Cambodia into a part of Vietnam.

To make this idea materialize, Vietnam must create trouble in Cambodia so that it could take advantage of the situation.

For instance, Vietnam created Khmer Vietminh and brainwashed them to kill Khmers during the Pol Pot's era.

Just curious:

Does international law allow one country to kidnap the children of its neighbors and brainwash them and later use them to attack their own Country and commit the mass killing of their own people?

Vietnam did exactly like that to Cambodia. That's why approximately 3 million Cambodians have perished from 1975 to 1979 because of Vietnam's bad intention toward Cambodia.

In addition, hundred of thousands of Khmer people dies in the 80s due to Vietnam deployment of K5 project.

If the killing of Khmers during the Pol Pot era were not clear that Khmer Vietminh were the culprit, the K5 on the other hand clearly reflected Vietnam’s vicious intention because Cambodia at the time was fully controlled by Vietnam. Vietnam was the chief architect of K5 project.

The United Nations should look into this unique case of Vietnam interference in Cambodia. Even now, Vietnam orders almost every move of the puppet government.

During my young life, I have heard my people lamented that why Khmer people always suffer?
Because Vietnam has its own plan to make Cambodian suffer and exploit it.

Theary Seng,

You are a pompous hypocrite. One hand you wanted to be classy in saying thank you to Yuon for saving your life.

Other hand you helped justifying Yuon's misguise.

Your Prime Minister,Hun Sen, was a coward and Yuon stooge. He ignored 1991 Paris Peace Accord that demanded all strings attached gestures from Yuon must be nullified.

Obviously this is how all professional lawyers made their living in twisting things to fit their agendas.Sadly you are neither a professional lawyer nor a victim of Yuon's Khmer Rouge remnants.

You are a profiteer from oversea to soon join up with Hun Sen regime. You dance to Hun Sen tune for the benefits of your own.

Lawyers like leeches that live off flesh and blood of the victims of Khmer Rouge of all colours.

Shame on you!

"Plunder of wealth"??? ...Really???

Do you really think the Viet was going to come rescue Khmers in slave labor camps for free?

There is no free lunch baby! If the Viets were going expend the lives of their soldiers they want some form of compensation, wouldn't you think?

Theary's opinion reflects a new Khmer new generation who did not experience the hardship under the Khmer Rouge Regime and political history of Khmer and Yuon. It is true the January 7 th
saved us from the death row, but January 7 created more suffer for Khmer and the destruction of Khmer Nation. Yuon uses January 7 to manipulate new Khmer generation in order to continue its occupation over Cambodia through the ignorant Khmer leaders: Hun, Heng, and chea.

The Vietnamese Army did NOT occupy Cambodia to rescue the Khmer people from the Pol Pot genocidal regime.

They occupied Cambodia and installed their Khmer Vietminh government to get rid of the military attacks against Kampuchea Khrom committed by the Khmer rouge.

And they did occupy Cambodia to complete their old plan: Indochine under Youn rule.

The Viet immigrants to Cambodia since 1979 are the living proof for the Vietnames plan.

It really IS quite that simple.

CamWatch said...

The yuons had invested so much in Khmer Vietminh but they were disillusioned when they found out most of these Khmer Vietmineh were too nationalist and patriotic , opposing too much the yuon plan. So they sent them to jail or death-Pen Sovan, Chan Si , keo Chenda,eg. The yuon had found good accomplice in the real Khmer Rouge defecotrs -Hun Sen, Heng Samrin, Chea Sim. I twas these KR who signed the 1979,1982, 1985 treaties ceding lands to the yuons, not the Khmer Vietminh.


It is about time Khmer learn to critically evaluate fact, not using emtotion.

thanks Theary for your very shrewd and balanced assessment of 7 January 1979. You described the feelings of vast majority of khmers very pointedly and very accurately. please continue your struggle for a better Cambodia, and disregard all the cheap calumny you are sometimes the subject of.

You said:
"The rewriting of history in this manner by the current regime is fraught with danger for the longevity of Cambodian stability and peace."

Can you explain us HOW danger for the longevity of Cambodian stability and peace?

Can you explain that in the Hun Sen’s regime does Cambodia have stability and peace?

Can you explain in your Dart-Game why you didn't include Ho chi minh, Hor Nam Hong, Sihanouk, if you include Nixon and Henry Kissinger?

Do you know Youn politic strategy is to keep Cambodia aligned with China in order to avoid the United State to intervene in Cambodian issue?

The way that you include Nixon and Henry Kissinger in your Dart-games was one of the Youn trick; you were playing Youn Game.

When you were at S-21, how did you explain the important personalities come to visit S-21?

I saw your picture with surya subedi, I wonder how you tell him about the Khmer Rouge; did you tell him that Khmer killed Khmer or Youn was behind the Khmer Rouge?

If you are smart enough, you ought to understand that the S-21 museum has been a Youn strategy to show the world that Khmer Kill Khmer. Youn goal is to wash out what they did behind the Khmer Rouge.

Do you know who is really Hor Nam Hong, Eing Sary, Eing Thearith, Keat Chhun etc?

I don't buy your article!

How badly a woman like you to say so. If Vietnam not come on time, all Khmer people died and you had no chance as today to talk stupid things.
Why are you not clever to think that if VN come back right after 7/1, then you have your Cambodia as today. After KMR, your country is a rezo, VN stayed only shot of 10 years to build up again your country as today. To you, do you have many years to build up Cambodia from nothing? 10 years? 20 years or 50 years? can you say?
you are exactly Khmer people

Then why Vietnam did not come at 7 Jan 1976 or 1077....etc...when the killings were in full swing? So it would look like a liberation than an invasion, since more Khmer souls would be saved. The fact was it all planned. Hanoi knew the killings were taking place and recognized the regime till 1978.

How many Cambodian still want more Vietnamese to live in Cambodia? as your wish and you will know , the sorry is not Khmer peoples in the present, the next generation who will pay the prize on their own mother land , simple is Kampuchea Krom, if some of us are blinds or because some of us are so dumb to believe a communist party, little by little not last longer you will feel the

Vietnamese did kill a lot of us but some of hot head never take the truth, who is Pol Pot? what is Vietnamese? who is Hun Sen, Chea Sim, Heng Samrin? this is just one corporation, their comrades, why some of us still supported them, why don`t we just fuck off from them and work together as a Khmer peoples and fight for our freedom?

The fucken Vietcong have every intention to make Cambodia and Cambodian people the most backward people on Earth by creating more problems and more troubles for Cambodian leaders to deal with! Cambodian leaders are still dealing with the aftermath of the Khmer Vietminh or the Khmer Rouge which was created by Uncle Ho since 1930!

I am so fed up with the fucken Vietcong slaves who praised that the Vietcong want to save Cambodia!

You want real first hand example of the Vietcong so called good intention to Cambodian (Khmer). There are over 10 million Khmer people still living under the Vietcong oppression! Does this help Khmer people or make Khmer people feel special in anyway?

Vietcong invaded and occupied Cambodia for 10 years! Did Cambodia have economic growth for 10 years? Of course not! Because the Vietcong were so busy plundering Cambodia! The Vietcong never revitalized anything on Cambodia besides sending more Cambodian (Khmer) to die with the help of the Vietcong slaves to protect their occupation over Cambodia!


I have to wonder why the Vietnam has spectacular economic growth over the years while Cambodia still remains a dirt poor country. Well...this is by design! If one day Cambodia have spectacular economic growth which translate in strong military and no Vietcong leaders want that!

All the fucken evil, the calamity, the upheaval, the chaos, the killing, the destruction, the peace and stability are by designed not in the interest of the Cambodian(Khmer) people but in the interest of the fucken Vietcong! Is this a win-win for Cambodia and Cambodian people? You tell me!

Anonymous said...

Yes...The Vietcong saved some Cambodian people from death but not all Cambodian people! Tell me why million and million more Cambodian people die at the hand of the Khmer Rouge? Why the Vietcong don't save them too? My family members died under the Khmer Rouge and my family members still die under the Vietcong occupation! The Vietcong never save my family! What choice do I have to stay in Cambodia?

I think you all manipulated by the yuon. Their intention to enter cambodia were to kill all khmer and since too many khmer die and b/c of international pressured yuon pretended that they were here to save khmer instead. Remembered yuon invaded Cambodia in january 7, 1979 and installed hengsamrin former khmer rouge leader as the head of state. some of the khmer rouge were yuon agent and other factions sided with or with a big support by the chinese. And they are all murderers...eeyore!!

Anonymous said...

what ms seng theary wrote here is a true reflection of how most khmer people felt about both the KR and the vietnamese occupation, that is, khmer view both the KR atrocity and the vietnamese occupation with ambivalence. although we are grateful to rid of the KR, but we also feel uncomfortable under the viet/youn occupation of our country then. so true on how khmer people feel about these two unwanted so-called saviors. the KR killed its own people indiscriminately while the viet/youn occupied our sovereigned country. although the KR is now history and the viet/youn is no longer occupied cambodia, the controversial date of january 7th brought us both relief and anxiety, that is the honest truth if you ask khmer people from all walks of life, some people are appreciative while others viewed the vietnamese as suspicious occupier.

I agree with Nuon Chea saying that the Communist Party of Kampuchea was under the influence of yuon Hanoi base on the profile and events happening since the creation of the Communist Party of Kampuchea or CPK in 1960 as follow:

CPK or the Communist Party of Kampuchea was created in 1960 under the name of the Workers' Party of Kampuchea to be remained alliance with Hanoi but not under order of Hanoi anymore by :

1. Tou Samouth.

2. Noun Chea.

3. Pol Pot.

4. Ieng Sary.

5. So Phim .

6. And many more of former senior Khmer Viet Minh commander.

Note: Tou Samouth and So Phim played very immportant role in joining former Khmer Viet Minh fighters int the CPK and other played an immportant rol in joining Tamouk and Ke Pok ect.... .

The worker's party was renaming to CPK in 1966 after Tou Samouth was arrested and killed in 1962.

So from the beginning most members and the members of central committee of CPK were former Khmer Viet Minh like Tou Samouth, So Phim , Rhos Nhim.

If there was no January 7, 1979, there will certainly no 21 October 1991 which allowed small political groups politically insignificant to jump on the gold opportunity to assert also their role as patriot (patriots opportunistic after the fall of Pol Pot regime) in the revival of Cambodia for new opportunity of political career because the great powers decide to put Cambodia under UN tutorship and finally to engage a peace processcus because the international political situation has changed.

While they fought for 10 years by risking their lives in extremely difficult conditions the powerful Pol Pot’s forces , we wait quietly without risk the most appropriate time come (21 October 1991) to proclaim patriotic , after the death of more than 1.5 million civilians cambodian.

January 7, 1979 was the date of the liberation of Cambodia from the genocidal Pol Pot’s regime. October 21, 1991 was the date that allowed all other politicians insignificant (they are so many ) to come and eat and enjoy the Cambodia that reborn.

In politics as in business opportunism can sometimes be a better and easy means to succeed.
It is the important political lesson that I retained from January 7, 1979 to October 21, 1991.

Séng Theary,
The Viet did not intervene Khmer from Khmer Rouge; they did invade Cambodia on Jan. 7th instead. The Viet was behind the Khmer Rouge to kill Khmer people, and then the Viet provoked the war with the Khmer Rouge in order to fight back again the Khmer in the same time INVADE THE COUNTRY. If Youn a real savior, why Youn didn't want withdraw their troop after occupying Cambodia for a decade? They withdrew from Cambodia by The UN’s pressure. After they left the country, they did the coup d’état agaisnt FUNCINPEC through CPP which is puppet Youn’s party. You got to understand that Youn has intension to kill Khmer people in order to replace by its own. What Youn did was “ KILLING KHMER ON THE RIGHT, AND SAVE KHMER ON THE LEFT”. This is called HYPOCRISY. Your action in Cambodia tells me that you have been sold to Hun Sen. I am one of the real Khmer people, you mean nothing to me. You are simply a hypocrite trash serving Youn's plan to Vietnamitize the country. My heart is full of grief when I saw Youn killed many of the Khmer intellectual, but with hope that the younger generation as you rebuilding the country. You have shown your undignified behavior toward Khmer politics which is the most regretful for Khmer people.

Séng Theary, you need to review your own consciousness. You look very stupid to me. Real Khmer don’t act like you. If you are a real Khmer you ought to protest again the land eviction, and tell the world that Youn was behind the Khmer Rouge; Youn is still controlling Cambodia through Hun Sen government. They way you act make a question in my mind that you are simply Youn.

The Big Big Big issue in Cambodia today is Youn have been grown in Cambodia since 1951, they can speak, write Khmer, they have Khmer name, they live in Khmer manner, but they have Youn brain.

Anonymous said...

Séng Theary,

Imagine! Take Youn out of Khmer politics, Khmer Vietminh won’t exist, Khmer Rouge won't exist, the killing field won't exist, S-21 won't exist, January 7 won't exist, CPP won't exist, land eviction won't exist...

What do you think?

The source is absolute, the manifestation is relative; the truth and reality are one. The mere idea is nothing. The root of human salvation lies in the "knowledge that influences reality, “that is, in the truth of ideas are translated into an inner, transforming action. “WHAT IS TRUE WITHIN TAKES FORM WITHOUT”

"Things have roots and ramification."The absoluteness of the origin enters into reality of manifestations.

Norms, rules, and impulses come from the root or source, FROM SOMETHING SO DEEP AND WIDE AS TO DEFY THE DEFINITIVE FORMULATON, the rules by which we reckon what should be done an never suffice. Truth and reality can never be embodied once and for all in any unchanging statement or dogmatic statement.

Mam Sonando,

You better stop spreading your stupid idea to people.

You said Khmer people should not say anything about all illegal Yuon immigrants inside Cambodia because the government has allowed them to come in.

Don't you know that the government is Yuon's slave?
So, it is automatic that this puppet executes its master's order to let the Vietnamese in.

AND YOU SAID KHMER PEOPLE SHOULD NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT YUON.

Should Khmer people have the right to protest or complain against those illegal immigrants?

I have followed your radio for a long time and I realized that your idea is erroneous, confused Khmer people.

I don’t even know what goal you try to accomplish by insulting harshly all democratic parties, and trying to unite those democratic together, but saying from time to time that even combine together they still cannot win. If you think they cannot win after uniting together, why you keep insulting them for not unifying? What is your point?

Your "talk" might resonate well with illiterate people because they have nothing to compare to and judge you.

Is this your idea: Don't stop Yuon to come in and accept Khmer people as minority in Cambodia?

People are sick with people who are work so hard but produce something that are detrimental to Khmer's interest.

If the Viets didn't invade Khmer Rouge would have slaughtered it's own people completely.

The KR murderous plan would not be stopped without the Viet invasion.

Where was Sam Rainsy when millions of Khmers were being overworked and executed? Sam Rainsy was no where to be found until the he saw his chance in politics.

Call it what you want, invasion or liberation, but one cannot deny the fact that more Khmers would died by the hand of fellow Khmer if it would not for the Viet!

Than you Viet,

Had it not for the UN's intervention, Vietnam would never leave Cambodia which would put all of us from the KR killing into Vietnamese occupation and eventually will annex Cambodia to Vietnam the same way it TOOK Khmer Kampuchea Krom. khmer Kampuchea Krom is being oppressed by the Vietnamese government for their livelihood. Good jobs are being given to only their people only while Khmer Kampuchea Krom people resorted to low income jobs; they are being treated like a second class citizens the same the Blacks were did in America in the 1700s. The questions is: Do we want this future for our nation and our people?

the Khmer Vietminh and Ho Chi Minh westward Journey to Svallow Khmer and Lao since 1950.
The manipulation and spies in KR regime stupid leardership that made Youn plan more suscessful implemented to eliminate Khmer to be minority and voiceless in their own land controlling by Khmer Vietminh like Chea sim, Heng Samrin ang Hun Sen to fullfill HO Chi Minh to Cambodia Vietnamization.

Alors, comme conclusion, il est dejà trop trop tard!

Comprenez-vous bien une chose, vos ignorants Khmèrs:

Nous, Viet-Khmer, nous sommes actuellement la majorité légale de la population Khmère!!!

Nous, Viet, nous allons viêtnamiser vos ignorants Khmers de la tête au pouce exactment comme nous avions fait aux Khmers Kroms!

Just to wrap it up, it's too late already you dumb Khmer!

We, Viet-Khmer, are legally the majority of the current Viet-Khmer inhabitant of Viet-Cambodia.

You dumb Khmer will be vietnamized from head to toes just like those dumb Khmer Kroms!!!

it is wrong to call the viet/youn as hero. they are no hero to cambodia. when they occupied cambodia, they stole and plunder khmer natural resources, etc. heroes don't steal and plunder us, only thieves and invaders do that. the vietnamese is no american, no french, no soviet union, no chinese, they are no better than khmer people, actually, so i wouldn't call them heroes, you know! so much heroes, look at mekong river delta and koh tral of former khmer territories, etc! that should served us as a reminder that they are no heroes to us, period! khmer people would never called viet/youn as heroes, you know! that's the honest truth!

1:19 AM aka Ms. Shit,

Have your people invented anything besides stealing other people’s properties?

So, in your air head, you think stealing and committing bad deeds are smart.

Is it true asshole?

Mam Sonando,

You better stop spreading some of your stupid ideas to people.

You said Khmer people should not say anything about all illegal Yuon immigrants inside Cambodia because the government has allowed them to come in. You said that so many times on your radio.

Don't you know that the government is Yuon's slave?
So, it is automatic that this puppet simply executes its master's order to let the Vietnamese in.

AND YOU SAID KHMER PEOPLE SHOULD NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT YUON.

Should Khmer people have the right to protest or complain against those illegal immigrants?

I have followed your radio for a long time and I realized that your idea is erroneous, and you sent a wrong message to the people.

I don’t even know what goal you tried to accomplish when you chastised harshly all democratic parties, and sometimes tried to unite them together, but mentioned from time to time that even combining together they still cannot win. If you think they cannot win after uniting together, why do you keep insulting them for not unifying? What is your point?

Your "talk" might resonate well with illiterate people because they have nothing to compare to and judge you.

Is this your idea:

Don't stop Yuon from coming into Cambodia and accept Khmer people as minority in Cambodia?

People are sick with people who work so hard but produce something that are detrimental to Khmer's interest.

Note:

When the crook officials took the people land, and you complained to your Samdach Hun Sen and your Samdach Kwack gave back that piece of land to people, it does not signify that your Samdach is a hero because those crook officials work under your Samdach Kwack’s administration.

I heard this story about 3 months ago when the people flocked into your radio station, and Samdach Kwack gave back the land to them. You have profusely thanked Samdach Hun Sen.

For example:
The thief took the money from your pocket, after you screamed; he gave your money back. Is this thief a hero?

Annonymous @ 6:55PM,
Very well said! Hats off to you. Some of these Dumbass doesn't take that into consideration. This to include this hoe, Theary. The Vietcong didn't sacrifice their soldiers for nothing. Same propaganda as the US. I'm sure the Vietnamese and Hun Sen have their MOU's signed and kept it in a safe somewhere.
Wake up all you idiots!!! You're too naive to think otherwise.

Theary Seng is a dumb and confused bitch, being flip-flopped from day one. It has wasted time to use her a Khmer hero bitch for Khmer Rouges victims. She did not know or find out what Khmer Rouges were from before and after the American War over Communist Vietcong. She should know before before she jumped the conclusion.

This is about her look and how she has made her look good in public eyes. All bullshit! Confused
