Slide shows - by Dr. Gaffar Peang-Meth

Dear countrymen and friends,

Next week, my weekly column will not appear in the Pacific Daily News. My column will return on Wednesday, June 29, Guam time. As I announced earlier, beginning July, I will decrease my weekly column to biweekly to enable me to meet other commitment.

However, I invite you to view two new slide shows, "Cambodia in Pictures," part 2,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMvX84vbVxg

and The Limit of Patience

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrCVtzpUeGw

Some of the photos are from official publications of different Khmer regimes; some others are unattributed photos; the rest are made available by Cambodian readers, to whom I express my gratitude. I selected the photos, and the Khmer songs from Cambodia's Messenger Band, courtesy of a friend.

The photos speak for themselves.

I hope you will find the slide shows informative and educational.

Sincerely yours,

Gaffar Peang-Meth, Ph.D.

The political uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, Bahrain, Tehran, Yemen and now in Libya, what they mean for the rest of the Dictators in world?

It seems the Tunisia "H1N1" is spreading everywhere in the world; even Cambodia start to permeate
and very soon Cambodian will be push to the Maximum CHAOS!
The Revolt will sweep across the Khmer nation to oust viet dogs.

My Khmer Compatriots, Khmer must struggles for RENEWAL, CHANGE and FREEDOM.

You don't have other choice, but to organise an Armed Uprising right now to against these Hanoi's Puppet Hun Sen's families and it cronies.

All of you are in a loose-loose situation by Legal Means.
Freedom will never fall from the Sky. You have to fight to get that.
Hun Sen and Hanoi will continue to oppress you and confiscate your lands for their Vietnamese bosses and their own interests.

And how many Vietnamese illegal immigrants in Cambodia now ??? there are 6-7 million of them and over 100,000 in armed camouflage inside the government and plus 1 viet soldier per hectare (ha) to live and guard in rubber plantation. 1,000,000 HA = 1,000,000 soldiers in Cambodia land.
The Hanoi's Vietnamisation is step by step and almost finished to their goal.

All of you will be Hanoi's slaves on your ancestors Lands very soon.
They cannot kill all of you in all Sroks and all Provinces, otherwise the whole world will step in to help liberate you from this mess of political CHAOS.

I called to 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.

If you don't dare to die you won't survive.

They should be burning pictures of hun sen and bun rany. My Khmer people need to fight back. They should not die because they did not do anything to fight back. They need to accept that they can die as Martyrs.

I know many of Khmer people still have weapons left over from the Khmer Rouge era. Why have they not use it against these freaking police.

Thanks to dr gaffar for posting these pictures and we do like the music and the song. The guy who said it is bullshit must first show he can do the same thing to draw attention to our people plight before criticising others who try their best.

Know wonder the "Greys" told me they were about to use wonder weapons. Flashing lighting and hydro bombardment from the air. POWERS of the GOD! Bow down HUN SEIN and minions!

រូបភាពល្អគេស្រលាញ់ រូបភាពអាក្រក់គេខ្ពើម។
គ្មានអ្វីមួយ ដែលគេមិននិន្ទាទេ។
រូបភាពទាំងនេះ ក៏មានគេនិន្ទាដែរ។
និយាយច្រើន គេក៏ធុញ គំនិតសុញ គេក៏ថប់។
បើគេសរសើរ ធ្វើមុខញញឹម បើគេបង្អាប់
ធ្វើមុខស្អុយ។

I want to respond to the guy/man who wrote this comment below.

"I called to 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."

Hello, all our Khmer younger generation! Please use your intelligence if you want to bring down the dicator. Asking people to rise up with Axes, Swords, Sticks, Knives, Spears, Arrows, and possible grenades, B40-B41 hand Guns, shot guns will not deter Hun Sen and Vietnamese camouflage from punishing and restricting Khmer freedom even more. You are not thinking logically. You are using burning emotion. But the whole country will not be burn along with your emotion. You have to think logically and come up with a smart, intelligent stragety on how to legally remove and stop the Vietnamese population expansion into Cambodia.

Mr. Abdul Ghaffar Peang Meth, this is me, your favorite most critical and logical thinking audience. You can tell by my writing of who I am, the man who dare to question you whether you are a true Khmer like me or not.

Don't talk about unimportant issue.
Don't talk about garment striking.
Don't talk about a few acres land grapping.
Don't talk about people begging.
Focus on the big picture, the big issue of Vietnamese population expansion freely in Cambodia.

How are we going to do anything about this peacefully, legally without the use of violence against anyone???

Demand, Demand, Demand until the illegal Vietnamese floating village in Tonle Sap,in Phnom Penh and else where in Cambodia move back to Vietnam.

Demand, Demand, Demand until a new immigration law is put in place and legally enforce it.

If the immigration law is finally put in place by the government but a fake enforcement or not enforce at all, then you must demand, demand, demand until the government enforce it, until the illegal Vietnamese floating villages in Tonle Sap remove, until the illegal Vietnamese population in Phnom Penh and else where in Cambodia.

In any country, if any anyone enter the country illegally, the government of that country will deport these illegal people back to their orgin country.

In Thailand, in the USA(United State of America), in Europe, Canada, Australia and everywhere, they have immigration law and they enforce it strictly.

In Cambodia, we do not have immigration law to stop Vietnamese from entering and living illegally in Cambodia. In Tonle SAP, there are thousand and thousand of illegal Vietnamese multiplying on many floating villages. They build school and have their own security guards with machine gun protecting their own illegal Vietnamese in our Tonle Sap lake and rivers. The Mekong Rivers from Vietnam to Cambodia have no immigration safeguard. Illegal Vietnamese are moving back and forward from Vietnam freely on both land and Mekong Rivers. This illegal expansion, must be stop now.

In 50 years, Cambodia will be another Kampuchea Krom. That's the ultimate goal of Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh's dream. If they cannot rule Cambodia by force, they will rule by population expansion.

How do we stop this???
First step:

Demand, Demand, Demand. Rise up peacefully and demand, demand, demand the government of Cambodia to pass the immigration law and enforce it. You must follow up the enforcement to see if the government is really enforce it or not.

I'm not asking anyone to kill anyone. I'm not asking anyone to destroy our country. I'm not asking anyone to create chaos. I'm not asking anyone to chase tourists or investors away. I'm not asking anyone to deter the government reconstruction, rebuilding the country. I'm not asking anyone to attack any neighboring country. I'm not asking anyone to attack Hun Sen, Sihanouk, Sam Rainsy,CPP party, Funcipec or any party. I'm asking all of us Khmer to demand, demand, demand the government of Cambodia to come up with an immigration law and enforce it, strictly focusing on the illegal Vietnamese expansion in Cambodia. I'm asking all of us to think logically , intelligently using a friendly, none violent strategy to accomplish the goal to safeguard Khmer land and Khmer population.
