    I am more concern about Vietnamese Gov who keeps stealing our lands than Thai. Their cool and secretive tactic work very well in term of encroachment. 30 years of Yuon's slave is good enough, they should abstain by now.

    Dearest Philippe Taylor, Siphal Mey, Kareth Dy, Prasit Kuoch, Soeurn Prak and Pengse Sean,

    Khmer people can never ever thank you enough for having put together such a priceless document.

    The world has seen the Viet true's color vis-a-vis Cambodia! The question remains, why haven't Sihanouk, Hun Sen and his cronies!

    Truly yours,

    Please help translate into Khmer and English for all Khmer and the world to see of the Vietnam's constant aggression and its criminal activities in southeast Asia.

    The French and Americans should have been in Indochina all along to keep peace and prosperity at bay. The Vietcongs have blundered everything including human lives since the day of Ho Chi Minh took power in southeast Asia--from North Vietnam to Champa to Kampuchea Krom to Lao and now to Cambodia.

    Khmer Mchas Srok movement will be presented at the UN's convention,New York,in Nov 20 2009,on issue of Human Rights in Cambodia.

    And also KMS will also be presented at the UN's Geneva on Genocide and Human Rights in Cambodia,December 1,2009.

    We all know who is behind those genocidal policies ?

    QUOTE
    The Vietnamese regime were actually not concerned by the genocidal policy of the Khmer Rouge, but rather with fulfilling their historical ambition of regional domination, as well as stopping the spread of the Chinese influence in Cambodia. Nguyen Co Thach, the then Vietnamese Foreign Minister, later said that, “Human rights were not a question; That was THEIR problem – we were concerned only with security.” China is a historical enemy of Vietnam; at the time China was also a bitter enemy of the Soviet Union. Consequently, Hanoi was to act in accordance with own but also Soviet interests – the last was highly important because the USSR was to finance the following adventure.

    Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the conflicts
    between the Phnom Penh government and the
    resistance forces and their respective supporters was
    the creation of the “K5 Plan,” adopted by the Phnom
    Penh government, presumably under pressure from
    their Vietnamese advisors. While the PRK was trying
    to consolidate their power and credibility inside the
    country, fighting continued between the People’s
    Army of Vietnam and the resistance forces, who were
    sheltered by Thailand and received military support
    from China. In 1984, the Politburo in Phnom Penh
    discussed “the mobilization of several hundred
    thousand Cambodian civilians to chop down forests,
    construct more roads, and lay down hundreds of
    kilometers of earthen walls, two-and-a-half-meter-deep
    spiked ditches, barbed wire, and minefields.”25 This
    policy was codenamed the “K5 Plan” (Phenkar Kor
    Pram in Khmer). Evan Gottesman stated that the
    plan’s ultimate motive was to “build a Berlin Wall of
    sorts that would stretch along the Thai-Cambodian
    border and prevent resistance soldiers from
    infiltrating.”26 The attempt to seal the 829-Km long
    Cambodian-Thai border presumably required a great
    number of laborers. In fact, in the first phase alone,
    90,362 laborers were involved in building the defense
    line.27 At the end of 1985, Vietnamese officials
    estimated the total K5 workers for the year at
    150,000.28 There seemed to be no clear figure of the
    total number of people conscripted for the K5 Plan,
    but Margaret Slocomb estimated the total number of
    conscriptions between late 1984 and mid 1987 at
    380,000.29 It is important to note here that a high
    number of people conscripted for the K5 Plan lost their
    lives to malaria and landmines. This strategy of border
    defense was not something new. During the reign of
    Minh Mang, between 1820 and 1841, Vietnam
    colonized Cambodia, and, to enhance its security
    against Thai attacks, Minh Mang ordered the digging
    of the Vinh Te canal in 1820–21. The harsh treatment
    of the Vietnamese overlords caused deep resentment
    among the Cambodians in a similar way that the K5
    undermined the popularity of the PRK and the
    Vietnamese presence in Cambodia.30
    The K5 Plan was not the only manifestation of
    geopolitical cruelty that caused misfortune among
    Cambodians.

    It is the small shrub growing in the lowland erea around Tonle Sap and around the lakes near Mekong River. This palnt is part of the flooded forest which is important for the fish habitat. The root of the palnt ( with yellow color) is used by the locals for traditional medicine, especially for tea.
