A Khmer-Krom Youth Killed in Kampuchea-Krom Because He is Khmer

Sunday, September 05, 2010
Source: The Khmer Krom Network

In Kampuchea-Krom, most of the Khmer-Krom youths drop out of school after finishing their middle school or even earlier because they have to find works to support their family. The Khmer-Krom youths cannot find works in their villages. They have to leave their beloved villages to look for works in the factories near Prey Nokor (Sai Gon) City, rubber plantations, or even working as servants for the Vietnamese families. Whatever job they can find, they are willing to take even it is under paid, so they can earn some money to support their family.

On September 2, 2010, twenty two Khmer-Krom youths from Moth-Chrouk (An Giang) province who were working for a rubber plantation in Raung Domrei (Tay Ninh) province received day off because it was the Vietnamese National Holiday (Vietnamese Independence Day). They left their rubber plantation to enjoy the holiday break at night. Unfortunate, they were attacked by the Vietnamese local people. One Khmer-Krom Youth was killed. Eleven others are injured, but two of them are severely injured.

According to the World Khmer Radio, the Khmer-Krom Youth who was killed was Chau Net. The other two youths who are currently severely injured are Chau Phat and Chau Keo. The reason that Chau Net was killed because he was asked by the Vietnamese people who was he? He answered, "I am Khmer" in Vietnamese. After hearing that Mr. Chau Net is Khmer, without any reasons, the Vietnamese local people in that town started attacking him and his friends with swords and axes.

It was a violent attack and also a murder case, but the Vietnamese police did not come to protect the Khmer-Krom youths because Vietnamese authorities always treat the Khmer-Krom as second-class in their society. Thus, the Vietnamese authorities do not take any action to protect Khmer-Krom youths and bring the killers to face justice.

Khmer Krom people deserve no less than a country of their own! This is the very reason that the Khmer and the Viet is like water and oil and can never be mixed together!

There needs to be a full and proper inquiry into WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.

I do not believe the KI Media version of this story, until it is independently verified, as KI Media has its own political agenda here.

Would KI Media let truth get in the way of another opportunity to further its hateful and dangerous agenda?

If any Cambodian attacked and killed any Yuon in Cambodia because he was Yuon, Hun Sen judge would jail the Cambodian for 25 years.

My Khmer Compatriots,

The Arm uprising is the best solution for getting rid of Hanoi's puppet Regime of Hun Sen and its cronies as our ancestors had been done in 1835-1840 during the reign of Ang Mey, Té-Ong, and Vinh-té canal. (Kraok kap Yuon ខ្មែរខាងលើ, ខ្មែរខាងក្រោម, ខ្មែរខាងកណ្ដាល ក្រោកឡើងទាំងអស់កាប់យួនយកដីជីដូនជីតាយើង
ត្រឡប់មកវិញ )

But why we, as their descendants, won't do it again???

Hanoi will eliminate all Khmers by all means, demographic with over 5 millions Viet illegal immigrants, Lands concession from Khmers owners of the country, Yuons depleted all khmer resources, fish stocks, all mineral ores, gas, forests, petroleum, and Gold etc...
I called to all Khmer compatriots to rise up with Axes, Swords, Sticks, Knives, Spears, Arrows, and possible grenades, B40-B41 hand Guns, shot guns to riot and kill THEM for your Freedom and liberate your country from the vietnamese yoke.

Every Khmer when we hear such wretching story of abuse and violation hate crimes like this in 21th century against native people in their own homeland by a group of theives, pirates, mudererers and colonizers really makes our blood boils. But there is nothing we can do because justice is color blind and money speak.

The world like Vietnam and disregard for Khmer rights because Vietnam is a better robber and pirate of local resources!

That Land Over There is yours; you'll go back to your land one day, because you fight with special privilege. You'll have your home, your land, your Temples back again, because your is right and GOD is on your side.

I supported my friend 9:15PM 100%
and opposed any foe, only this strategy would do the job well, and no more yuon in Cambodia for at least sometimes as the old story did...

កុំច្រឡោតខ្លាំងពេក ប្រយ័ត្នគាំងបេះដូងស្លាប់។

People this is the 21st century and we don't need another war. We had enough war for thousand of years and now is the time to reflect what went wrong and why did we have such a horrible life one after the other. I think after, we all are human being and we need solution for peace not war. Nowaday, people are more educated and also we have a common sense to live our lives. So, no need to say you or me but "us", how are we going to work together as a team to benefit both nations in general?. Just remember this, be aware of nature strike rather than people to people. Because when nature strike, it doesn't descrimate, fire storm, floods (like in; Pakistan, Haiti, China and Thai Wan), earth quake, vehicle accidents, sicknes (swine and cancer) and so on. So, death is waiting for all of us in every corner left alone war. So please wake up humam being, be smarter by now. Wisdom

12:13 PM Dirty ass Yuon, of course your people still use barbaric weapons, you people still live with that primal fear of the Khmers next door.

Just look at Cambodians here in the States, we dominate and shit on Vietnamese gangs in the streets. 3 Viets on 1 Khmer hell yea we fuck you Vietnamese up just for practice.

"A Khmer-Krom Youth Killed in Kampuchea-Krom Because He is Khmer"

We still need to know the full truth about this sad story, and the circumstances behind it.

If in fact the Khmer youth was killed only "because he is Khmer", that is a terrible thing indeed.

But, surely there was more to it than just that.

If that was the only reason for the attack, we all need to ask "Why?" and "How can we prevent this ethnic violence fueled by irrational hate?"

Everyone who uses the language of racist hate, instead of rational discourse, is responsible for the consequences.

Think about that.

There is much about KI-Media that is informative and constructive - that is good.

And note the sensible words at the top of KI-Media:

"NOTE

KI-Media loves to hear from you, and we're giving you a bullhorn. We just ask that you keep things civil. Please leave out personal attacks, do not use profanity, ethnic or racial slurs, or take shots at anyone's sexual orientation or religion. We thank you for your cooperation!"

Unfortunately, many who comment on KI-Media do not follow that good advise.

Such people should understand the destructive consequences of their words!

Yes, indeed - the pen can be mightier than the sword!
