Cambodia sells off national park for city-sized pleasure resorts

The Cambodian government has handed over nearly 20 percent of Botum Sakor National Park to a Chinese real-estate firm building a massive casino and resorts in the middle of pristine rainforest, reports Reuters. The city-sized resorts, costing $3.8 billion, will include a 64 kilometers highway, an airport, hotels, and golf courses. Botum Sakur is home to a number of endangered species including the pileated gibbon (Hylobates pileatus) and Asian elephant (Elephas maximus).

"Cambodia is giving away 36,000 hectares to a foreign entity with little if any oversight or obvious benefit to the people," Mathieu Pellerin, a researcher with Cambodian human rights group Licadho, told Reuters. Construction of the pleasure cities by Union Group is displacing local Cambodians, some who have lived there for generations.

Researchers have recorded 44 mammal species and 533 birds in the park. Other imperiled species include the white winged duck (Asarcornis scutulata), Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica), Asian slow loris (Nycticebus bengalensis), Indochinese silvered langur (Trachypithecus germaini), hog deer (Axis porcinus), dhole (Cuon alpinus), the elongated tortoise (Indotestudo elongate), the Siamese crocodile (Crocodylus siamensis), and the fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus).


This is not the first time Cambodia has taken land from conservation areas. Last year the government carved out 9,000 hectares from Virachey National Park for a rubber plantation. In 2007 the government approved Australian gold-mining company, Indochine Mining, rights to exploratory mining in half the park.

Recently Licadho released a report showing that more than half of all Cambodia's arable land had been handed to private corporations as economic land concessions.

WHat are you DUMB Khmer going to do about this one, DUMB Khmer.

Hun Sen is signing off our national land to the CHinese Company, are you going to cry out YOUN again, DUMB Khmer?

Last week, Hun Sen signed off a border treaty with the Vietnamese relocating the border post using the 1985 treaty while Cambodia was under the Vietnamese -10 years occupation.

Are you DUMB Khmer going to cry out YOUN again? and do nothing because you DUMB Khmer are LAZY? Life is unfair, DUMB Khmer?

Oh yea, keep voting for CPP, DUMB Khmer!

Hey DUMB Khmer, the IP address only shows the location and the country of where I am from. It doesn't show my nationality or citizen, okay DUMB Khmer.

So another word, I can be a Khmer born, but speaks English and French but the IP address may only shows that I am commenting from inside of Van Couver, okay DUMB Khmer.

Yes, keep trying to prove that I am a YOUN, cause yu DUMB Khmer blames YOUN for everything. This time the Chinese had been given our nation wildlife land, what are you DUMB Khmer going to say?

Haven't I given you DUMB Khmer enough clue yet? Stop blaming other people, blame yourself, watch CPP destroy Khmer and do nothing.

Easy?

All Khmer people across the country and abroad join the massive protests against the CPP clans and Ah Kwack (blind) Hun Sen.

We can't imagine that Yuon clowns of CPP and Hun Sen are a bunch of uneducated crooks and land thieves who have guns and powers to kill innocent Khmer people get so rich.

Khmer people, please stop voting for CPP and Vietnamese dog Hun Sen.

Come join the facebook and twitter to get together and create the massive protests against CPP clans, Vietnamese masters in Hanoi, CPP cronies and Vietnamese dog Hun Sen.

Please Khmer people, wake up and do something. Cambodia is the last piece of Khmer land left over.

It's start from Khmer inside the country. If they don't stand up for them self it's too bad. We Khmer outside can't do so much. They should remove Hun Sen as PM for a long time ago. Wake Up! Khmer inside. It's about time for Hun Sen to go. Kill him or he's gonna kill you.

Anonymous said...

How do you suggest that 12:18 am when according to some source the majority of Khmer in Cambodia is now YUON (5 millions or more?) that is illegally authorized by Hun Sen to settle in Cambodia?

Don't you know that by now you idiot 12:18 AM?

As for 8:55 PM - The chinky doesn't send millions of their own to settle in Cambodia. The Chinky just wants to make money off of whoever live in Cambodia which in this case the majority of it is the Vietcong. The Vietcong is every twist and turn in the HUN SEN Viet puppet regime in Phnom Penh. If you 8:55PM don't know it by now, you are no one else but a Vietcong mercenary if not a Vietcong in flesh and blood pretending to be Khmer to ptotect and defend the freaking Vietcong invader of Cambodia....

THis is useless talking to you DUMB Khmer. When will you get it and stick to the facts.

DUMB Khmer i have already told you that I am Khmer and not YOUN. Why is it anyone you dont like is 100% YOUN? I cant understand that you DUMB Khmer were born with no education but try to open your mind, look at the big wide world.

I have already explain in the last topic that not all YOUN are bad, for example, Khmer Krom are mostly YOUN/Khmer. They are more patriotic then you DUMB Khmer always barking and accusing them as YOUN.

Have i taught you DUMB Khmer anything yet. The Chinese companies have been given our land for 99 years, so what are we going to do, NOTHING? Even when Sam Rainsy was send off in exile for protecting the Khmer land, you DUMB Khmer did NOTHING.

When will you DUMB Khmer stop barking and start doing something. Why do you DUMB Khmer keep making excuses then keep voting for CPP. You know that CPP leader is an uneducated Vietminh, so why are you still supporting him. DUMB Khmer.

Will this uneducated Vietminh be in power till he is 99 years old.
DUMB Khmer, do you deserve to live as dogs and as animals?

9:48 AM,

Yes, You are the most dumbest Yuon on the planet. Got it bitch? You are the fucking freaking idiot. Why don't you go there to fight against CPP yourself if you are smart enough to call people DUMB KHMER with no respect. Are you trying to take advantage of others who have been trying to fight against CPP and Hun Sen.

No, you did not do anything and sit behind your stupid computer to call Dumb Khmer instead of doing nothing.

You are not making any sense, but just the words coming from your stinky mouth. You are the most disgusted animal. We don't care you tell voiceless Khmer people what to do. Just put your toes in your mouth and suck harder. That is all we can say, Dumb Idiot!

I am not taking side with anybody.
This 9:48 AM keeps calling Dumb Khmer, but he gave some rational explanation why he called dumb Khmer.

I think he is Khmer but he is so fed up with Khmer people who keep doing the wrong thing such as voting for Hun Sen, etc...and also we are passive. For example, even with Hun Sen lease Khmer soul Angkor Wat to Yuon Sok Kong, we did not mount any large protestation against Hun Sen.

Keep the word Dumb Khmer aside, and read carefully what this man said. It might help us to improve our struggle against the puppet government.

12:17 PM. It is alright, you dont need to defend me. I do feel bad picking on these DUMB Khmer. But the reality is, they need to know that DUMB Khmer are the most uneducated nation in South East Asia.

Not that these, DUMB Khmer will admit to it anyway, since they are always barking that anyone who disses DUMB Khmer are just YOUN.

I don't understand why these DUMB Khmer are so proud of being a DUMB Khmer when they cant even defend their identity. Angkor Wat leased to the Vietnamese Tycoon for 99 years. Even when the governor shooting the unarmed Khmer women, these DUMB Khmer does nothing but blames the YOUN.

Instead of using their DUMB Khmer brain to work out a solution to debate with me. Now these DUMB Khmer wants to smell their mothers fishy vagina holes.

Can we really rely on these DUMB Khmer to make a change?

Funny how fellow khmers could not face up to the challenge from another khmer (9:48AM), and instead resort to cursing as if curses will somehow make them win the war. It's so funny that those who throw sh*t at others often miss their marks, and end up getting themselves filthy first. HOW ABOUT FACING 9:48AM's CHALLENGE LIKE A REAL KAUN KHMER?

1:26 PM, Can you get rid of your dirty mouth with bad language Dumb Khmer that insult the people who are the disable Khmer people. Have you done anything in the the last 30 years to help save Cambodia yet? You are still a dumb and uneducated person to call DUMB KHMER? You are still a Dumb Khmer yourself when you have kept going on with the bad words DUMB KHMER. I have been so frustrated with them who were so blind as well and who have kept voting for CPP and allowed the CPP to use the money to buy their votes. These destroyed democracy. Money was not everything and forever. I would never call them DUMB KHMER. So, 1:26 PM, you need to cool down, be polite and professional, alright?

Khmer Yeurng.

2:37PM, you misses 9:48am's point altogether. As i see it he uses "D...K.." to refer to those who have a one-track mind (anti-yuon) and uneducated enough not to see a broader picture of oppression over our people (from the CHinese, the thai and now YES the KOREANS in SiemReap). Go back and re-read his challenge - AND BE BRAVE ENOUGH TO ANSWER HIS CHALLENGE instead of hiding behind semantics!

Nobody knows nobody here on KI-Media especially when almost everyone is commenting as an anonymous.

As such, people react and can go so far as to judging it by what it is and how it is written.

It may sound too cliché, but being dumb or smart or intelligent or anything for that matter is basically in the eye of the beholder (including KI-Media itself!), just to say the least!

So, challenging someone to respond to someone that already has a negative perception on someone especially when generalising KHMER as being DUMB may not be the smart thing to do at all if not completely assenite and idiotic!

Again, it may sound too cliché, but it takes TWO to tango, and if one doesn't dance...it's the end of the story!!!

Hope it helps!

Enough of your rhetoric shit DUMB Khmer. Your comment is non sense, any CPP monkeys reading it will get a heart attack. Not to mention its completely and utterly full of SHIT.

Again, lets try this once more. I am telling you and the rest of DUMB Khmer that you are the most uneducated nation in Asia not to mention the most corrupted nation in the world.

So, why do the DUMB Khmer, like you keeps supporting CPP and the uneducated Vietminh. Try to make me see that DUMB Khmer are not as they are. Try to make me see that they are the most intelligent nation and msot intelligent race in South East but are hindered because of the fews. Try not to use your nonsense cliche.

Alright DUMB Khmer, anything you DUMB Khmer can do, the world can do better, but you DUMB Khmer do it cheaper.

9:40 AM,

Enough is enough with the Words "DUMB KHMER". We know you admire Yuon who succeeded to take over Khmer land.

We did not vote for CPP and we are not DUMB KHMER in general. Don't advertising the words DUMB KHMER all over.

We used to win election in 1993 and 1997 and then we were attacked the CPP grenades coming from hidden Yuon face among Cambodian society. We wish we would have guns, weapons and military forces to protect our Khmer people who are unarmed people. Do you know the Yuon military forces hiding among CPP, Khmer soil and water or Mekong lakes?

Do you have money to help us to build military forces to face off CPP? We need your help, 9:40 AM.

We need to prepare. Do me a favor, don't advertise the words "DUMB KHMER" again and again.

We you saw Khmer people were shot in 1993 and 1997 by hidden Yuon and CPP grenades, do you care about them. Yuon and CPP have the guns and powers and money that were stolen from us Khmer people.

10:23 AM,

How about i make this simple for you DUMB Khmer to understand.

You only need one person to die. There is no need for millions of people to die. The millions of YOUN that you want to "face off" may even be the Khmer Krom people, the same people that wants to be free from the Vietnamese Government. So enough with the blaming YOUN for your misery.

Even some YOUN people are trying to break free from their communist leader, not that you care or know, because you DUMB Khmer knows nothing but blame YOUN for everything. Consider yourself lucky DUMB Khmer, without a strong leader like Sam Rainsy and SRP, CPP would have sold everything as seen in today's Laos and no, everything in Loas is not just sold to the YOUN, but also to the Chinese.

As long as CPP is in power, these uneducated Vietminh will always use blood to stay in power (1993, 1997). So are you DUMB Khmer still waiting to build military forces, or are you DUMB Khmer going to start educating yourself and accept the truth.

Do you understand where I'm going yet, DUMB Khmer?
