THE SON OF THE KHMER EMPIRE កុលបុត្រមហានគរខ្មែរ

The news is about the who is “Responsible for NhemVandoeun“, the man who works extra at the department of public work and transportation in Phnom Penh responsible for licensing and releasing the number plates for transportation in the Capital City of Phnom Penh and was recently arrested on the alleged corruption committed with his extra job. Please read the full article in khmer at DAP.

In the news,  Soy Sopheap  proudly boasted the govt´s intolerable policy to abolish the corruption with  punishment wihout being biased with strong and strict law enforcement. The article continues to say that the case of Nhem Vandoeun will be extended to his brother, because wihout his brother´s support, Nhem Vandoeun cannot commit such a corruption which takes away millions of dollar of state´s income.

The Soy Sopheap also sensed the public´s point of views that, ” No mattter how rich Nhem Vandoeun is, he surely has no value, dignity, honor, and pride comparing to the poor-farmers“. Read the rest of this entry »

Extremist yellow PAD demonstration near Khmer Preah Vihear Temple

Since the conflicts have flared up between the two countries which caused by the reclaim of its right over the Preah Vihear temple and the land surroundings by Thailnd, the Thais always base their valid arguments on as the  followings:

1. The only accessible gate way to the Khmer Preah Vihear temple is made on the Thai soil. So the temple must be joint-listed.
2. To make the temple really becomes the World Heritage site, the temple must be listed with all other sunbordinates that are now exist in the Thai soil and the temple must be co-managed between Thailand and Cambodia.
3. The verdict of International Court of Justice (ICJ) in 1962 gives Cambodia only the temple, but not the surounding land.
4. The ICJ did not demarcate the border line between the two countries, so the orderline is not known and the 4.6km square is not clear to which country it belongs.
5. The Frencch made-map has a problem, because the map has its basis on the wathershed of the two countries as the borderlines, but the case of Preah Vihear temple it does not follow the wathershed at all, so Thailand must disagree with it.
6. The wathershed of the two countries has been changed gradually due to the geographical change caused by the environment, so the new agreement to redemarcate of the two countries´s borderlines must be set by the Thais to reasured its rights according to the watershed basis.
7. The map made by the France that controlled Cambodia is considered as biased and unfair. With this, Thailand must reject it.

These are the arguments that I have collected on many forums argued by the Thais. So please all beloved Cambodians voice your words  to counterargue with the Thais.  Your counterarguments will become invaluable contributions of knowledge for our compatriot to equip themselves with effetive information.

In Sodarity 

Notice: My counterargument will be posted later.

Cambodia is not Province of Thailand

Sovannaphumi is just a name of an airport

July, 2009

By Eisel Mazard

§1.

“Suvaṇṇabhūmi” is not just the name of an airport: it has been an important part of Thai propaganda for over 100 years. Today, the myth of “Suvaṇṇabhūmi” is used to claim that all of Cambodia, Laos and even Vietnam were formerly part of Thailand, but were later “lost” in a series of wars. This article presents a series of facts about the real history of Southeast Asia. The original text was written in simplified English, intended for translation.

Many Thai people alive today heard about “Suvaṇṇabhūmi” from their grandparents, so they assume this is a very old idea. Many Thai people grew up hearing propaganda that their ancient homeland was in Yunnan (a province in China, north of Laos) –but then the message changed. Sometimes the government tells them the ancient homeland is “here” in this ancient kingdom called “Suvaṇṇabhūmi”, sometimes they say it is in Shan State (now part of Burma), sometimes in Southern China or even further north than China, in Mongolia. Sometimes the government tells them to hate the Burmese, sometimes the Chinese, sometimes Cambodians. They told their people to hate and fear Communists, but (at the same time) they supported the Khmer Rouge. The result is that Thai people are genuinely confused about their own history.

Tuo Jia Sarit Dhanarajata-the Siam royal narcissistic stooge and dictator

In view of Siam quarrel over Cambodia rights to speak for and defend its property, apparently Bangkok Post misspoke and mischaracterized Khmer nation. Two wrongs can’t be right.

I agree with Bangkok Post and find Hun Sen words are intolerable and unnecessary in dealing with so called modern Siam country. As human endowed with rights to express true feeling, Hun Sen appears to speak his mind in full graphic. But Hun Sen wasn’t highly educated and rooted out from noble clans.
