Activist set to probe encroachment

THE head of the Cambodian Confederation of Unions says his group will visit border areas in Kampong Cham province in order to investigate local complaints that land in the area has been ceded to Vietnam.

CCU President Rong Chhun said yesterday that he would travel later this month to the area around border demarcation post No 109, in Memot district’s Da commune.

“My stance will not change. I will go down to see the situation there at the end of this month. I will not be scared of facing the law because … I am doing it for the national interest,” Rong Chhun said.

Last week, more than 200 villagers from Da commune thumb printed a document accusing Vietnamese authorities of encroaching on their fields in Memot district.



A local representative said about 260 people had signed the complaint, which they planned to file to the National Assembly, civil society groups and the government’s Border Demarcation Committee.

Previous border visits by civil society groups and opposition lawmakers have been foiled by police, who have blocked access to Vietnam’s politically sensitive frontier.

Opposition leader Sam Rainsy, currently in self-exile overseas, has been sentenced to a total of 12 years in jail in connection with his own claim that Vietnam has encroached into parts of Svay Rieng province.

Sensitive region

Rong Chhun said that if he was blocked from visiting the border areas it would prove the government has something to hide.

As a Khmer citizen, everyone has a right to visit the border,” he said, adding that his visit would not disturb current demarcation efforts.

“If we have a look by destroying, it is illegal. We will just go and have a look how they plant [the border posts],” he said.

But Var Kimhong, the senior minister in charge of border affairs, dismissed the allegation of Vietnamese border incursions in Memot district and warned that if Rong

Chhun visited the border without permission the authority would take action against his delegation.

We will not allow him to go. They are planting demarcation posts, the experts are doing this work, why does he go to disturb them? What skill does Rong Chhun have to measure them?” Var Kimhong said.

He added, however, that visits to the border would be permitted once the demarcation efforts wind up.

Dear KI, please post more photos of the Boeung Kak lake residents’ tragedy, because it shows how useless the corruption law in Cambodia is?

Hun Sen bows his head to ground for the Viet to step on it, but the useless son of the bitch acts tough against his own countrymen. He is whatever the Viet wanting him to be. In his stupid head, without the Viet he would not be where he is now.

Ong Sva Kim Hong must back off from infringing individual citizen constitutional rights.

Mr.Rong Chhun has a duty and entitlement right to see his country and land wherever he wishes to go.

Ong Sva needs to read the Constitution again,doo mae a xamaer buon cheung euy,biet khong?

HUN MANET AND HUN MANA say...
We need a sniper shooting at our father’s forehead..... That is the only way to get rid of him.

He thinks he owns Cambodia. We are his kids are so embarrassed when he talks like a barbarian or like a singing monkey on a tree.

Our mother is also making us ashamed of her skin bleaching, awkward jewelries wearing and flirting around...

Please help us to get rid of them; we don’t want to be the Viet slaves.

HUN MANET, HUN MANA AND OUR SIBLINGS.

United among all of Khmer is very important.

Knowing our enemy who really is also important.

Our enemy is Ho Chi Minh Indochina Federation.

We should help Hun Sen and CPP to be liberated from Vietnam. We must be united. We cannot fight among ourselves as Khmers and Khmers. This is the only one theory of winning against the enemies from west and east.

Do not stand on Republic and blame King. The waste majority of Khmers in Cambodia highly respect King. That is the fact. King Sihamoni has been highly respected by international leaders from around the world. That is the fact, too. King Sihamoni is far and far better than Thai king in every aspect. He is straight and firm.
No one around can manipulate him. This king is different from other king.

Sam Rainsy Party is too far to the right. This party should be moderated or more liberal. This is the way toward unity and winning for the KHMER EMPIRE.

No one is perfect. But must be one is a better leader? Who is a better?

If we take Hun and Sihamoni side, we will take Hanoi side. The best is to stay away from Chun Kbot Cheat Tang oss Noss.

832pm said,"Sam Rainsy Party is too far to the right."

That's rightly right, because Xamaer People Party is too far to the wrongly.Other hand XPP is a socialstic republicanist party from January 7 onward.

Everybody knows Sam Rainsy,himself, is a staunchest Sihanouk worshiper all along. Ironically no way and shape, the least to say, he is a republic inspired person.As far as Sam Rainsy idealism is not too far as a monarchistic influenced politico.He founded his party within Sihanouk's political balance in vision and as the monarchy accomplice.

i think all khmer people and citizens have the rights to be concerned when it comes to national sovereignty such as land, territories, national treasures, etc, etc. i don't think they want to interfere with the authority or experts doing their job, however, they do have the rights to voice or demand the authority to shape up if it were detrimental to our country and national interest, etc, you know! that's all!

Your point of view might not be deemed as right. "the authority" is the one who sell Cambodia to Yuons. You don't need to interfere them, they are the ones who interfere you all the times.

let's not be too extreme or radical in our thinking or behavior. when you think in radical or extreme way a lot, nothing makes sense anymore, you know! let's be realistic here! no more ifs or buts or other radical or extreme examples, etc... the best option is to choose the reality, it is what is it!

Go and tell the Boeung Kak lake residents about being realistic. Isn’t it real enough for you? My advice, go and preach yourself, Mr. philosopher.

Democracy is two sides to a story. Right now in Cambodia, only CPP HUN SEN government has all the rights... Even their own citizens to defend their own national interests. What are these people?

Compatriot Ron Chhun,
My admiration for your bravery to save Khmer soul, Khmer land that has been inspired by your leading role, good example for others whose having a luxery life with crooked moneys and Power.
The land encrochment in the East site of the border with Vietcong was blindfold by Cambodian authority from bottom to top careless about unfortunate khmer only need it for family shelter.
Mr. Rong Chhun and other compatriots who'are caring for the crying of our poor Khmers in time of needed.
My prayers for god to bless them to be safe and sound.
Be careful YOUN use Khmer to Harm Khmer such as Khmer Vietming in the 50, 60,70,80 ..their names like Khmer, they've been brainwashed and trained, infiltrated, spied to destroy khmer.
For insatnce in the 70, Khmer living in Kratie province, and Krek and Memot in KG CHAM ect.. where Vietcong used Khmer territory in the 60 for shelter to escape B52 bombardment in agreement with Sihanouk. In the past Vitecong was taking many teenage young men and women to vietnam and coming back one day to work for Vietcong, they are many in Hun Sen current high ranking Government, the are spoken fluently Khmer and Vietnam, but their soul is Khmer Vietnamization.
Hope they change back to care about their national origin, but it was seldomly like Pen Sovann who woke up to defend Khmer. Thank You.
The world watching the ubuse of power of those puppet youn.

Khmer awake like Rong Chhun.
To save our motherland.

Real Khmer help Khmer not to harm or kill our own blood.

HELP KHMER IS NOT TOO LATE to save our NATION.

Why the Vietnamese who post their comment on here never complaint about democracy in Vietnam ???? But they love to trash their idea on Cambodian people. That's tell you some thing about Vietnamese people. I don't have to explaint any further !!!!!!

Amen to Rong Chhun for stepping up to the plate to protect the Cambodians who lost their land to the border demarcation process of the YUONs. Sam Rainsy is not around to defend the Cambodians anymore at the moment, and it is a heroic brave thing that Rong Chhun decides to step up to the plate. So there are more than one Sam Rainsy in Cambodia after all. Keep doing the right thing, Rong Chhun. You good deeds will be rememberd down the road and for many years to come.
