Translated from Khmer by Khmerization
From a very credible but unconfirmed source said that the Stung Treng court will launch an investigation into thousands of hectares of lands belonging to Gen. Ke Kimyan which previously the courts were afraid to take actions against him because Gen. Ke Kimyan was a very powerful Commander-in-Chief of the army. (Gen. Ke Kimyan was sacked as Commander-in-Chief of the army on 22nd January, 2009).
The same source said that, in the not too distant future, the court will commence its investigation into thousands of hectares of lands belonging to Gen. Ke Kimyan. If it found that those lands were obtained through improper way, they will be confiscated and return to the state.
However, there is no official statement from the government confirming the information. But many observers believe that Prime Minister Hun Sen’s policy of reforms will lead to the above measures (court actions against Gen. Ke Kimyan).
The same source said that those lands are now developed by a private company backed by Gen. Ke Kimyan.
Other than involving in improperly obtaining thousands of hectares of lands in Stung Treng, Gen. Ke Kimyan has been alleged to be behind thousands of hectares of improper land deals in Banteay Meanchey province as well as in Preah Vihear province. But those land deals have been frozen after Gen. Ke Kimyan was sacked on 22nd January 2009.
A government official said that the major reason that Prime Minister Hun Sen sacked Gen. Ke Kimyan was because he was too busy with his land deals and involved in too many scandalous land deals and neglecting his duty as Commander-in-Chief at the same time as when Cambodia is facing border incursions from Thai troops.
Observers said that if the information is true that the Stung Treng court is investigating Gen. Ke Kimyan’s land deals, it has proven that the sacking of Gen. Ke Kimyan was really due to reforms in the army as promised by Prime Minister Hun Sen.
Gen. Ke Kimyan is the 16th most powerful person in the hierarchy of the Cambodian People’s Party and has been seen as the person who is most closest to Mr. Chea Sim, the president of the Cambodian Senate.
Many analysts said that the sacking of Gen. Ke Kimyan is a warning to other officials not to violate the rules of the party and the policies of PM Hun Sen.
The opposition parties and NGO’s said that PM Hun Sen is sacking only those officials belonging to the Chea Sim’s faction. But Mr. Hun Sen denied the suggestions by saying that the sackings were necessary to implement his policies of reforms.
Many analysts said that those who are involved in scandals, corrupt land deals and who committed injustices will have to review their own actions to avoid from suffering the same fate as Gen. Ke Kimyan.

100 Thai troops stationed at Five Rocks opposite Phnom Trop
Khmer and Thai commanders met after the armed clashes on 15th October, 2008.Doeum Ampil News
12th February, 2009
Translated from Khmer by Khmerization
Om Wednesday 11th February 50 Thai troops have crossed into Cambodia and camped at Thmor Pram Dom (Five Rocks) opposite Phnom Trop. On the morning of Thursday 12th February, there are reports from Preah Vihear that the numbers of Thai troops had been increased to 100 in the area.
Sources said that the original 50 troops have been redeployed from the Thai frontline into the Cambodian frontline at Ta Sin Pass. The incursions happened in the morning when the Thai troops tried to lay barbed wires in the areas considered as disputed. The Cambodian side told the Thai side to stop laying the barbed wires and afterward they withdrew from the areas.
Later in the afternoon the same day, the same Thai troops returned to the same areas through Ta Sin Pass and stationed at Five Rocks again.
Sources said that due to these new Thai incursions, the Khmer and Thai commanders for the Preah Vihear areas have met on 12th February to resolve the issues.
The Thai incursions happened shortly after the Thai Defence Minister discussed the border issues with PM Hun Sen in Phnom Penh. This tense situation is reminiscent of the 15th October 2008 armed clashes between Thai and Cambodian troops which happened two days after the Thai Foreign Minister met Mr. Hun Sen in Phnom Penh.
