"OPINION" in The Cambodia Daily, October 28, 2013
FEARS OF VIETNAM ARE A "PATRIOTIC CONCERN"
In "CNRP’s Protest Culminates in 25,000-Strong Street March" (October 26-27) you wrote, «Mr. Rainsy then returned to his old bugbear, pillorying the Vietnamese — or "Yuon" — despite promising before the election he would refrain from stoking racial nationalist sentiment.»
My words were quoted out of their context since you didn’t mention any testimonies from those speakers, among the thousands of demonstrators at Freedom Park, who took the floor before I delivered my closing speech.
Two women from the Cham or Khmer-Islam minority from Kratie province’s Snuol district, came up to the stage to complain about Vietnamese companies confiscating their lands and those belonging to other villagers in the same district. Countless similar complaints can be heard from farmers from other provinces all over the country (Prey Lang forest in Kampong Thom province, Boeng Ket rubber plantation in Kampong Cham province, etc.)
One of the most notorious Vietnamese companies involved in land confiscation with the complicity of the Hun Sen government, bears the threatening name of Tan Bien or “New Frontier”, suggesting a borderline well inside Cambodia’s territory.
Actually, I am not pillorying the Vietnamese — there is no historically and linguistically authentic Khmer word, apart from “Yuon”, to designate people from Vietnam — more than the Palestinians are pillorying Israeli/Jewish settlers who confiscate their lands in occupied Palestine.
All Cambodians remember the sad fate of Kampuchea Krom or Southern Cambodia, a former Cambodian territory made up of 21 Khmer provinces, which was annexed by Vietnam in the last century with the complicity of the French colonialists following decades of massive immigration. Eventually Vietnamese largely outnumbered Cambodians and the new demographical balance, as a fait accompli, was the justification for the annexion by Vietnam.
Cambodians are now afraid of another fait
accompli which could be under preparation and which would mean, this
time, the death of their motherland.FEARS OF VIETNAM ARE A "PATRIOTIC CONCERN"

Like the Palestinians fearing Israeli/Jewish settlements as embodying a policy of fait accompli by Israel, we Cambodians have a similar fear vis-a-vis the well-connected Vietnamese companies associated with land confiscation and destabilizing immigration. This legitimate patriotic concern has nothing to do with “stoking racial nationalist sentiment” as some sensationalist cliches in the foreign press tend to distort the reality of our feelings.

I appeal All Cambodian.
If you want to liberate our country from Vietnamese communist you all must act something now, otherwise it will be too late. Deforestation is part of Vietnamese disigning for HUN XEN to protect not to allow any Cambodian people who against HUN XEn and can escape to live in the Jungle. HUN SEN has a program telling Cambodian people not to have many kids to reduce a poverty, this is part of Vietnamese plan, let Cambodian produce not many kids whereas Vietnamese has produced many and then push them coming to live in Cambodia. HUN SEN does not want young Cambodian student to learn Cambodian History in deeply meaning and HUN SEN does not want and let any Cambodian talking about Cambodian history, land lost and island and Cambodian border this is part of Vietnamese plan let HUN SEN to do so.

honestly, as a khmer person, i don't care about youn or vietnam. what i want to point out is that most of the time, khmer politicians since sihanouk time to lon nol time up to sam rainsy and his party always politicize youn hatred. i don't think it's right to politicize any race in cambodia. and i don't think khmer are fearing youn, it's concern, but not fear. khmer and youn are two different people and culture, etc... however, during the french colonial era of the so-called indochina which included cambodia, vietnam and laos, khmer people noted the french colonist tend to favor youn or vietnamese over khmer, especially when they chose hanoi as their capital of french colonial administration and built major seaport and hiher institution of education and better infrastruture in vietnam and chose to ignore cambodia because they want cambodia to stay primitive. and it shows! why can't the world accept cambodia and the way we are? why we have to be like them?
also, about the article above that say people from snoul area noted youn company steal their lands, etc... that's a business company, get it straight. there's a difference between company and illegal immigrants. someone has to authorize the youn company to come do business in cambodia. so people should voice their concern to the proper authority who authorized youn company to do business in cambodia and that youn company grab lands from the local people. that, the politicians got to know the difference and stop always politicize youn because nobody cares about youn. if youn did something wrong or illegal in cambodia, deport those youn from cambodia. why make it such a big deal when politicians politicize that? not using their brain? if it's not true, it's people politizing this issue. that's the real problem in cambodia because people like to politicize youn for their own gain. continue to politicize any race will not be good for future gov't policy because the world is governed by the rule of law, so the race thing is getting blurry, especially with international business liasion, etc. think wisley about, cambodia! stop using any race for your political promotion, etc! it gets really old and people started to not buying into it if you politicize it all the time.
Vietcong is worried, if Cambodian National Rescue Party won, Sam Rain Sy and Kem Sokha will bring Vietcong to the International Court of Justice because Vietnamese has moved Border post deeply to Cambodian teritory and also Vietcong has took Cambodian big island Koh Tral and a lot of Cambodian sea teritory. There are about 4 million Vietnamese refugees must go back to Veitnam if Sam Rain Sy won. In this case Vietcong is doing a new stratergy helping HUN SEN to make another deal with Sam Rain Sy and trying to defeat Sam Rain Sy party like Funcinpec.
As long as Vietcong is standing back behind HUN SEN Cambodia will not have peace, freedom, justice and prosperity. The best way to liberate our country just teaching young Cambodian know how to use Chemical and Biological weapon and going to China or North Korea ask them to get some, this is the best way .
HUN Sen Has committed too much crimes killing his own people and gave Cambodian land to Vietnam, this is the most important why HUN SEN needs to cheat and fraud the votes. Honestly, if let the Election is free and fair HUN SEN knows he would be lost, that is why in the past HUN SEN did not want to let any one to manage the National Election except IM SOUR SDEY. They are hundred percent was fraud and cheated. NO way for HUN SEN to step down and no way for HUN SEN to have peaceful solution
Hanoi: Ah Hun Xen
Hun Xen: Yes, Sir!

THE BOSS AND THE SERVANT!!!

we viet would like to thank the cambodian people very much for giving us the mekong delta. It is now producing rice to feed our country and the world.
we really appreciate you letting us renting your land to help us make our 5 billion dollar rubber industry bigger. we will be receiving submarines starting 11/2013 & you can be sure we will protect the gulf of thai for you.
THE BOSS AND THE SERVANT!!!
Once upon a time there was a lost dark Cambodian boy in the jungle of Vietnam during Khmer Rouge reign and met Uncle Ho Chi Minh in Hanoi, Vietnam. Uncle Ho saved his life and now is his time to pay back every single penny he have.
Hanoi: Ah Hun Xen
Hun Xen: Yes, Sir!
Hanoi: We saved you @$$!
Hun Xen: What do you want?
Hanoi: We want your country!
Hun Xen: Why?
Hanoi: You owe us!
Hun Xen: Money
Hanoi: No, your whole nation!
Hun Xen: O.K. I'll give you everything I have.

If the CNRP not to catch the USA and Europe on time the youn will do and the khmers people will shit in the pants as usual. The Haley motor bike builder will move down to Vietnam soon, perhaps more companies from US feel ok to follow too .
It makes my memories refreshing ,while the USA donated the army uniform through Thailand and Vietnam back to the late 70 all the son when the Cambodian opened up the donation boxes were the second hand of military uniform, Thai and youn keep all the brand new and replaced with the second hand .Cambodia shall learn from Israel deal direct to the super power ,not from Ah Youn or Ah Siam.
A very good response, indeed!
Pissed Off
TO MI SENG THEARY,
HAVE YOU READ Bun Thoeun 9:45 AM. THIS IS THE TRUTH. YOU READ SAMDACH CHOUNNATH EXPLANATION ABOUT YOUN. I SUPPORT SAM RAINSY TO CALL YOUN EVERY SECOND. THERE IS NOTHING WITH THAT. EVEN THAI, CALL THE FUCKIN VIET THE SAME AS KHMER IS"YOUN". YOU ARE SO SICK WITH THAT WORD YOUN BECAUSE YOU ARE A SREY YOUN. THE WORD YOUN LOOKS SO BAD BECAUSE OF HISTORY THAT YOUN HAS RUINED ITS OWN IMAGE BY ITS DEED, AND THEY KEEP ACTING LIKE A DEVIL. YOU MUST KNOW...I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY, BUT YOU HAVE BRAIN DAMAGED. ANYWAY, I CALL YOU MI YOUN KUNTORP. YOU START TO ATTACK SAM RAINSY BECAUSE YOU WANT TO PLAY YOUR YOUN GAME AGAIN LIKE YOUR DART-GAME RIGHT? MI YOUN KUNTORP CHOY MRAY. I WILL NEVER FORGET 2 MILLIONS KHMER KILLED BY YOUN.
Why the word "Youn" is such a big deal? Youn people in Cambodia should be happy if Sam Rainsy comes to power because Sam Rainsy will use the rule of law to govern Cambodia and the law will protect Youn people the same way the law protect Khmer people!
Sam Rainsy spoke the truth! If these foreigners are so interest in "Youn" or Vietnamese racism in Cambodia and they need to take a closed look in Khmer(Khmer Krom) in Vietnam too! There are over 10 million Khmer(Khmer Krom) in
Southern Vietnam who under oppression of the Youn government(Vietnamese government). The Khmer(Khmer Krom) are restricted from getting job, going to higher education, and robbed their right to their ancestral land.
The foreigners must accept that the open wound between Khmer and Youn(Vietnamese) will never heal because what "Youn"(Vietnamese) did to the Khmer is far beyond racism and it is a total annihilation of a group of people called the Khmer! So the issue of the Khmer(Khmer Krom)is not far from the mind of Khmer people when dealing with Youn(Vietnamese).
The relationship between the Khmer and "Youn" (Vietnamese) is dictated by the law of Karma and what Youn(Vietnamese) did to the Khmer and the Khmer will give it back to Youn(Vietnamese. The cycle of violent will never stop!
it is time that khmer people must to unity for free our country from youn.
c est très claire que notre pays est sous le contrôle de youn totalement,et s ily a quelqu un essaye de defendre hun sen,c est surement il est d origine youn.
1:33 PM. Very well said. It is not us Khmer who are racist, but the Westerners with lacks of education to understand the difference of culture and language between the Khmer and the Youn.
Even Thailand and Laos calls them Youn(Vietnamese). Do the Westerners admit that they are racist toward Khmer and the Khmer Krom(Southern Cambodia) who lived in SEA for thousands of years, whereas the Youn(Vietnamese) only migrated from China in the last hundred years?
YUON IN EVERY CORNER IN NAMBODIA!!!
YUON EVERYWHERE IN CAMBODIA!!!
Vietnamese Coffee Shop in Cambodia
Nowadays, there are more and more Vietnamese Coffee Shops in Cambodia is a country which traditionally Khmer people seem do not drink much coffee. The more Vietnamese settlers move in Cambodia, the more the unemployment cause to Cambodian people. When you drive around the Toul Tompong, Kirirom, Olympic and other places in Phnom Penh, you will see more and more the Vietnamese Coffee Shops with Vietnamese employees without speaking any Khmer language. Young Vietnamese girls with short skirt and white skin attract Cambodian men including students into the coffee shops which seems most of them before didn't drink coffee.
A young girl is from South Vietnam. She cannot speak and count money in Khmer, but she can makes her living by running a coffee shop in using her sex appeal to attract customers. A Young Vietnamese girl whom runs her coffee shop near Human Resources University said “I do not know how many people come per day, but I have income 500 000 Riel/day.". If we converted this income, it will make $125.00 US dollar. This can make her whole family live easily by working for the shop. I spent about an hour in this Vietnamese coffee shop, and I had noticed that most customers are Cambodians who are attracted by her short skirt and white skin.
Vietnamese Coffee Shops increase silently from day to day; whereas Khmer people have no job, but they spent their tiny income in Vietnamese shop to enjoy the view of short skirt and white Yuon skin. The most worrying is historically Youn use “Srey Youn” to swallow Khmer land. If Khmer men were not aware of this situation, Ho Chi minh plan to conquer Cambodia will be complete in the near future. After Khmer history, Chey Chestha II, Sihanouk and Hun Sen have Youn wife seem that Youn have accomplished substantially its plan. Furthermore, with the unconscious Khmer men get crazy with short skirt and white skin without thinking the destiny of their own nation, it is simply a complementary force for Ho Chi Minh‘s plan.
YOUN IS EVERYWHERE, EVEN THOMIKOR ‘S MOTHER IS A SREY YOUN.
EVERYTHING COMES FROM MIND, WHAT WE THINK WE BECOME, THEREFORE THE SENTIMENT OF BELONGING TO WITH PURE KHMER AND KHMER HAS YOUN MOTHER ARE NOT THE SAME. THEY CARE LESS THAN PURE KHMER TO DEFENSE KHMER LAND. THEREFORE WE CAN THINK ABOUT SIHAMONI WHO SIGNED KOH TRAL TO VIETNAM, HIS SENTIMENT ISN'T REALLY AFFECTED LIKE REAL KAUN KHMER. HAVE YOU ASK A QUESTION WHAT HER MOTHER THINK ABOUT HE (SIHAMONI) SIGNED KOH TRAL TO YOUN? I THINK SHE WAS GRATEFUL.
Again and again how Vietnam encroaches on Cambodian territories.... First they test our response or reaction by placing a temporary post deep inside our land; if there are no complains or reactions from our side that is the permanent post. In some some cases even there complains from poor Khmer side with little strength they still keep it as permanent post. Again and again, it happens each and every time but you don't know it... There are no resistance from the CPP side to stop Vietnam from doing it. I encourage Khmer communities or activists to oversee this border agreements with Vietnam. There are problems of losing territories with little care from the CPP. Please take action as this is in urgency.
Blame everything on Hun Sen and Viet. Problem solve right? Wake up khmer don't blame on other for your own problems.
Some khmer are too blind with hatred, they never see the light at the end of tunnel.
CPP (Controlling People Party)
NAMBODIA (problem solved)

Below is the worst Khmer traitor Hun Sen statement:
“[Mr. Hun Sen] would like to extend his admiration to the demonstrators and their leaders, who maintained good cooperation with all levels of authorities to avoid any irregular activities,” the statement says.
The CNRP's leaders,
When the traitor Hun Sen congratulates you, you must be out of touch with Khmer people.
This is the most crucial time in Khmer history, it requires the leaders to make bold decision and ultimate sacrifice.
If you are a chicken, you need to transfer your task to others who are willing to sacrifice their life to save Cambodia.
Khmer people must know how to deal with incompetent leaders.
For example, in the CNRP, its committee members must compose with patriotic and competent people. Make sure that NO element of the Yuon slave in that committee.
When people feel that under the current leader, the party will go nowhere but down hill, the committee must gather and pick a new leader. If the party were able to do this transition smoothly, the party will get stronger and stronger and the CPP cannot break the CNRP. Make sure that no struggle of power. Do according to the internal rules or regulations of the party.
Put aside the personal interest, just keep the party stronger.
Remember, NEVER move out of the party and create a new party. This idea will serve the Yuon and kill Cambodia.
We do something to improve the party. That one new thing that Khmer people must learn and adapt.
Bun Thoeun
PS: Change the way you make that demonstration. It is not working.
kampuchea krom will always be kampuchea krom. don't let political geography dictate to khmer krom indigenous people.

For the past 30 years, AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave under the guidance of the Vietcong government can't even do a simple wiring of electrical power lines to supply basic electricity to Cambodian people. How can AH HUN SEN manage the whole Cambodia? What about roads and bridges which the most traffic deaths in Cambodia? Certainly, AH HUN SEN has no leadership skill to lead Cambodian people in the right direction beside preaching his one-way communication blah...blah...blah...AH STREY PRA PLAY CHESS...WITHOUT AH STREY PRA NO MORE PLAYING CHESS FOR ME...

Some khmer are too blind with hatred, they never see the light at the end of tunnel.
=Well...AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave can stop all the hatred and the blindness by having independent inquiry into election frauds!
If gold is not afraid of fire then AH HUN SEN claimed that he is good, clean, and fun and he shouldn't be afraid of independent inquiry into election frauds either!
Currently our country is not the same as before!
