Amid mounting calls for government intervention to stop the destruction of indigenous land by a Vietnamese rubber company in Ratanakkiri province’s O’Yadaw district, the Forestry Administration has begun investigating claims that the firm is logging illegally and clearing land outside of its concession, officials said yesterday.
Local authorities and ethnic Jarai villagers living in the area have accused the Day Dong Yoeun company—which was granted a 4,000-hectare economic land concession in 2007—of large-scale illegal logging, illegal export of the wood to Vietnam and, most recently, the bulldozing of a traditional indigenous graveyard.
Phan Phoeun, deputy chief of the provincial Forestry Administration, said that since Sunday, forestry officials have been investigating the extent of the company’s logging operation and the destruction of the graveyard.
“We went there yesterday morning to…make a report to send to the provincial governor and the [national] government about logging inside the land concession,” he said.
Mr. Phoeun said that following numerous complaints by villagers, as well as by rights group Adhoc, the Forestry Administration ordered the company to cease all activities on December 30.
“But Day Dong Yoeun continued [to clear land] using three bulldozers to clear Jarai graves outside its land concession,” Mr. Phoeun said.
Chhay Thy, provincial investigator for Adhoc, said that Day Dong Yoeun on Friday cleared a 100-meter-by-150-meter swath of land where the Jarai residents of nearby Yamor village bury their dead, destroying about 1,500 graves. Mr. Thy said he would file a complaint with the provincial governor today.
District governor Dork Sar urged the company to compensate the villagers by paying for a traditional ceremony to appease their ancestors.
“This is illegal clearing and violates the traditions of the Jarai people,” Mr. Sar said. “We need the company to pay for a ceremony, because people here believe that the ghosts will break their necks or cause them to live without peace.”
Indigenous rights groups have joined Adhoc in asking the government to cancel Day Dong Yoeun’s concession and begin criminal proceedings against its owners.
“If the company doesn’t respect the relevant laws or sub-decrees, or agreement of the land concession, the government has the right to cancel,” said Sal Vansay, director of the Indigenous Communities Support Organization.
Thun Sarath, spokesman for the Forestry Administration, said that the destruction of forested land is illegal in all cases.
“If the company felled trees to make money…it is completely wrong because they destroyed state property,” he said.
He added that if the Forestry Administration finds sufficient evidence that Day Dong Yoeun has broken the law, provincial authorities should request that Prime Minister Hun Sen convene a meeting of the Council of Ministers to discuss canceling the company’s concession.

Part I
All of you (Vietnamese thieves and master-minded thieves) are so coward and opportunistic people around Satan Ho Chi Minh and they are thinking that they are “too smart to kill the innocent and weak people to steal their land and property” and their stolen wealths, land and properties from other other countries like Cambodia and Laos will be returned when ICJ, China, EU and USA ask those Vietnamese thieves to return the stolen wealth and lands back to the owners of Cambodia. They just want opportunity to be rich and want to steal using Satan Ho Chi Minh's murderous plans and strategy.
Hypocrite Veitnamese Revolution Leaders are even shit and coward and they think them too valuable to die saving their stolen land from Champa, Souther China "North Vietnam" and Cambodia "Souther Vietnam". Too cheap and murderous Vietnamese people = landless Vietnamese/Yuon/Tai Sung/Die Viet of a Stolen land from other countries "China, Champa and Cambodia". Vietnamese leaders,Satan Ho Chi Minh and folks are the most evil people on earth like uglies parasite !
“Too cheap valuable” people around Satan Ho Chi Minh that is why they are cheap and evil to steal Angkor Watt temples to make wealth and killed owner of lands by using Satan Uncle Ho's murderous plans and strategy. There you go, here are Vietnamese opportunist Sok Kong asked Vietnamese installed PM Hun Sen to steal Angkor Wat from Khmer people to do illegal business by taking advantages of tourists from around the world. Yuon/Vietnamse thieves have been going after Hun Sen as ther Vietnamese Installed PM to destroy Cambodian/Cambodian icon Angkor Watt temple. So, that is why Vietnamese/Yuon people and nation are very evil and disgusted in the world. We are Cambodian people are so proud of Khmer pride and we are the richest in natural resources and we have everything. That is why Yuon/Vietnamese are very jealous until they cheated and stole every from Cambodia by selling stone by stone of our “too valuable people” Angkor Watt temples. Vietnamese/Yuon thieves and leaders in Hanoi, do you want to face the court of ICJ? You will will lost everything that you stole from Cambodia. You keep dreaming just like bitches but don’t dare to steal our Angkor Wat and our iconic symbol of Khmer Nation because you are too cheap like ugly animals "Vietnamese thieves and parasites on earth,” trying to be smart to kill and steal. That is why Vietmamese/Yuon thieves and peopel think like wild animals, have numbskulls or numb brains, not thinking at all. These Vietnamese/Yuon think very dirty and learn not to care or ack like "I don't care." What on earth are those Vietnamese/Yuon people thinking like that as Humam Shits without thinking the properties, lands and seas are not theirs at all. That is why Yuon/Vietmaese people have very sick mindsets and ill intentions to steal and kill people to take the other owners of properties, lands and seas. Youn are the most hypocrite, evil and made-up to brag their fake history, shwing the world that they want are wealthy thieves on earth.
Part II
Yuon/Vietamese people are “too cheap and dirty” to play tricks as "We are friends and neighbors" just like Vietnamese/Yuon pussy and gays want to marry to Americans or White men or women by using their stolen wealth or properties to pay off or show off. That is how Vietnamese thieves and gooks ack so hypocrite and ridiculous. So, Americans or Westerners will not interested in getting married with them because of their stolen wealths and properties from Cambodia. Now, your Satan Ho Chi Minh is the most hatred evil man on earth and all Vietnamese/Yuon dog eaters/people are very disgusted and evil because they are not feeling sorry for innocent dogs and innocent people of Cambodia and Loas even the hill tribes. Vietnamese/Yuon thieves and people are full of themselves and they think it is ok to kill people to take their lands; it is ok to cheat; it is OK to steal; it is OK to break the international laws; it is OK to brainwash neighbors or friends in order to make neighbors kill their own neighbors, friends kill their own friends; and it is beyond their evil mindsets; therefore, these Yuon/Vietnamese thieves and people will take advantages of the weaken neighbors, friends, and so on. Yuon/Vietnamese people have created the Khmer Rouges "Double Agents" to stand behind the killing of Killing Fields in order to take land of Cambodia, but unformately, the UN envoys were schedules to inspect Cambodia during the Killing Fields until the Vietnamese/Yuon thieves in Hanoi and their Khmer Vietminh groups (were brainwashed by Satan Ho Chi Minh when those Khmer folks were so youngs like teenagers captured and fooled by Yuon/Vietnamese master-minded thieves. Now, evil and dirty Vietnamese/Yuon people still worship their evil Uncle Ho as their father of stolen lands.
