My Letter to Mr. Hem Heng in Washington DC.

Dear Mr. Hem Heng,

Mr.Hem, your long description is just the excuse, or I can say it is really unproductive excuse. Your statement has created only more conflicts among our Cambodian people. You should use your own intelligence to surpass other CPP's idea on how to rebut criticism in a productive way.

Op-Ed: Cambodian Bright Future

I am so impressed with your response to the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission Hearing in the US.

Again, all your description, if it was true, it is the outcome from the Paris Peace Accord, not from the Vietnamese occupation. But frankly, I do accept the truth that Vietnamese occupation has given you and Hun Sen the power and wealth today not the nation and Cambodian people. For general Cambodians, they has just escaped from the crocodile (KR) but slip into the mouth of tiger (Vietnam). Paris Peace Accord on 23 October 1993 has given second life for all Cambodians.

However, the outcome of Paris Peace Accord has been badly evaluated by many scholars and observers under the leadership of current Cambodian administration. Scholars and observers have cordially described the backwardness of democracy development, rampant corruption, human rights violation, limited freedom of expression, and killing perpetrators are still free of trial (impunity).

Mr.Hem, your long description is just the excuse, or I can say it is really unproductive excuse. Your statement has created only more conflicts among our Cambodian people. You should use your own intelligence to surpass other CPP's idea on how to rebut criticism in a productive way.

You merely said there thousand NGOs spread entire Cambodia, but you didn't elaborate how hurtful those NGOs are struggling inside Cambodia in working with the dominate political party. You said there is peace and security in Cambodia, but you didn't elaborate that this peace and security is not having principle of democracy and the rule of law. So it is different only from the Khmer Rouge regime. Or your task as well as CPP's task is to develop something better than KR regime only. I am really curious with this concept regarding CPP's intelligence.

You said in this world especially in developed countries, the powerful men (or leaders) sued their people or others with the verdict of defamation, and again, your statement is absolutely wrong and unproductive. You have never assured to having our leaders practice tolerance, but you supported the intolerance of the leaders. As I know, and many more evidences, your statement is not right. In developed countries, the leaders have never merely sued their people because of speech and expression. Journalists badly criticized their public leaders, only a few cases relating personal and social security needed clarification and correction from those journalists.

The court in those countries have never taken seriously into any verdict of expression if it doesn't physically injure. You are living in the US, have you ever opened your eyes and ears to see the truth in the US, if you swear or talk bad to someone, the court cannot take that as evidence, but if there was scar of injury physically, that could be the acceptable allegation.

Mu Sochua has been publicly twisted by the court in Cambodia under Hun Sen's vanguard. You can fool the ignorant, but you can not fool the world who are full of fair judgment.

More than this, general Cambodian people are really worrying about the lose of Cambodia land to Vietnam who has transformed their imperialism policy from ancient technique of using arm force to use political economy instead. Evidences from this assertion are numerous. For instance, the uncountable unequal treaties and submissive behavior of Hun Sen's administration towards Vietnam authority, the non-stop influx of Vietnamese illegal immigrants, the land concession and triangle development monitored by Vietnam, privatized Angkor Wat and Sukimex gas company owned by original Vietnamese Sok Kong and other schemes which are indirectly serving Vietnam's successful domination over Cambodia.

Among those schemes, the ongoing dispute of Preah Vihea temple with Thailand and the legal verdict of those 23 soldiers with opposition MP and journalists are good cause to exceed Vietnamization over Cambodia.

Mr.Hem, I would like to confirm that your letter is good only for biased media within Cambodia to fool our innocent Cambodian farmers. In short term period, you and your colleages can enjoy wealth, power and fame, but long term period, Cambodia and your children will sadly cry as Cambodia will be totally devastated and dominated by foreigner.

With my sincere regards,

KY
