Hanoi [thieves] stole Cambodian lands: Sam Rainsy

Op-Ed by Soksan

Stop being crazily in protecting foriegn VN thieves against own nationalists...!

First of all, I’d like to support a hundred percent of what H.E. Sam Rainsy has done. Especially, his statement had released on November 19, 2009 accusing the Cambodian government of failing to protect Khmer territories.

It is rights that the statement said: “Vietnam has been, over the last 30 years, grabbing thousands of square kilometres of Khmer territories in Kep, Kampot, Takeo, Kandal, Prey Veng, Svay Rieng, Kampong Cham, Kratie, Mondolkiri and Ratanakiri provinces. This is an ongoing painful process that Mr. Hun Sen does not want us to look at. But we can’t help seeing the tears and hearing the cries of countless Khmer farmers who are losing their rice fields and other farmland to Vietnam as I have recently witnessed in Svay Rieng province".

But it’s unfair that Sam Rainsy not only lost his parliamentary immunity on Monday 16 November for inciting Svay Rieng villagers to uproot demarcation stakes along the Vietnamese border, but he has also been being attacked from many blind pro-Viet officials such as border committee president Var Kimhong, government spokesman Khieu Kanharith, council of ministers spokesman Phay Siphan and the three false Xdach Hun Xen, Xdach Chea Xim, Xdach Heng Xamrin.

The following points are the verbal attack of those who are pro-Viet Khmer officials to H.E. Sam Rainsy:

1). Phay Siphan, spokesman of the Council of Ministers, dismissed the allegations, saying Sam Rainsy was speaking from emotion rather than fact. “To the east, we do not have any problems,” he said.

2). Var Kim Hong, head of the government Border Committee, had a strong reaction to Sam Rainsy by saying that the accusation was baseless and exaggerated.

3). Khieu Kanharith, government spokesman, rejected Mr. Rainsy's accusations and challenged him to show on the maps where the encroachments had occurred.

4). In the responding letter of Cambodia's three elites: Chea Sim, Heng Samrin and Hun Sen, the explanation is the same to what H.E.Var Kimhong has fought with call-in Cambodians in the radio forum. “What Mr. Sam Rainsy raised as border problem between Cambodia and Thailand, which had been resolved at the base level already, is not only an invention to create a problem to cheat the public and attract popularity for himself and his party, but also a desire to annoy the Royal Government and all our population who are involved in resolving another difficult problem consisting of the Siamese aggression along the western border”, the letter said.

Now I want all compatriots as well as ultra-pro-Viet officials go to review the report of Ke Kim Yan, former commander in chief of general, sent the border report to Hun Xen under his previous position and I got it from my crony who has worked for Hun Xen’s government.
