Prey Nokor City (renamed Ho Chi Minh City by Hanoi) in Vietnam provided 110 fully grown “Koki” trees to Phnom Penh city, to be planted in Phnom Penh. Sam Samuth, an official from the Phnom Penh department of parks and vegetations, indicated that these Koki trees were planted by his department since 27 August around Wat Phnom monument, in front of the French embassy, in the park located in front of the Bun Rany Hun Sen-Wat Phnom high school, along Street No. 178 located next to the northern fence wall of the royal palace, and in front of the Ministry of Justice next to the royal palace. Sam Samuth said that this is the second time that Prey Nokor donates Koki trees to Phnom Penh city. A fist donation was made in 2006, when Prey Nokor provided 156 Koki trees which were planted around Wat Phnom and the park located near the Bun Rany Hun Sen-Wat Phnom high school.

I used to lived next to, worked with and managed them (the viets) and I can read their mind quite well. This is one of their hidden claws. It looks and sounds good but it aint. Some of you may ask why am I complaining? It's a donation, just take it. It's just not quite that simple when it comes to viet tactics and politics. Anything that we can do ourself then do it and don't ask them for it or take it from them. There are good quality tree species in Cambodia, for both timber and beauty, plant them. Hint: They buy, smuggle and steal wood from us, now they donate trees to us? We plant them and probably errect the sign like Vietnam friendship trees/woods right in the capital to remind us all, and visitors as well. Next, may be a donated shack as museum next to Angkor, with the friendship sign again. Before we all know it, it would be all over the country. Then it will be time for vietnamization called west vietnam.

It comes to stupidity again for Khmer leaders working for Hanoi. I totally agreed with the first comment. Why we don't plan our own trees and KHmer has Koki trees too. Why except a chip gift from Youn? KHmer leaders cut down the trees and ask Youn to donate chip trees. Do Hun Sen think Khmer people are stupid and ass hole like him and his gangs.

If we're all stupid like Hun Sen and Sihanouk, kHmer will be Champa II.

God bless Hanoi that always one and hundred steps ahead of Khmer stupid leaders.
