Prime Minister Hun Sen is expected to meet his Thai counterpart during meetings in New York this weekend, but experts and members of the opposition say he must be careful not to give concessions to Thailand over a contentious border issue.

Hun Sen is in New York to meet with Asean leaders and top US officials, and his meeting with Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vijjajiva will be the first in nearly a year.

But the talks are coming before Thai parliament has approved discussions between a joint border commission seeking to resolve the border row, in which both sides claim ownership of a small strip of land near Preah Vihear temple.

Clear border demarcation cannot take place without the approval of three sets of meeting minutes from the border committee by Thai parliament.

Siam psychopath: The greedy Siam call us Khmer the greedy now!

By: The Son Of the Khmer Empire

Siamese Nazi Chick

It is unbelievable that now many stupid Siamese people have shown off to compete among themselves for “Their Love of the Nation of Siam.” Below is the excerpt fromThai-Asian Network News.

After the televised discussion session has concluded, Prime Minister of Cambodia Hun Sen has sent a letter to the president of the United Nations Assembly and United Nations Security Council, protesting against Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva for saying that the memorandum of understanding signed between Thailand and Cambodia could be revoked and Bangkok will use diplomacy along with military force in settling the border dispute.

[…]

It will not be easy for Thailand to deal with the issue through diplomacy or military force, for that matter, because Cambodia is experienced in making its grievances known to a global forums.Phnom Penh has been attempting to turn the international community against Thailand without considering the assistance Thailand had given to it in the past or the sake of the cross-border relationship. Instead, Cambodia has been greedily trying to steal Thailand’s natural resources on land and in the sea. It has also arrogantly, appointed a fugitive criminal wanted by the Thai authority to be its national economic adviser. The Thai government must view this as an urgent matter to prevent Thailand from losing its sovereignty over the land in which has historically and geographically belonged to Thailand.

NOTE: Now the greedy called us the greedy, the arrogant called us the arrogant, the thief accused us of stealing their land, and the aggressor called themselves the victim.

Moreover, they reminded us about their past assistance to us, but at the same time they forgot to tell us how they suffered our people in the past during the Pol Pot regime (e.g. how they dumped ten of thausand of our people down the Preah Vihear cliff in1979 through land-mines)  and how they helped the Pol Pot regime to continue to kill us.

And incredibly, these scumbag people have been repeatedly striking us for weeks and when we fight back once they accused us of “Now Cambodia strikes again!” WOW….amazing Siamese land!

Needless to say, it seems that these people are becoming more insane and  insatiable for instigating the conflicts and stealing other’s property. Now LET’S GO FOR IJC ‘CLARIFICATION AND MULTILATERAL TABLE, then we’ll see who is the right guy, You Stinky Siam?

Location of Prasat Preah Vihear must be correctly stated!

Prasat Preah Vihear

The article tittled:” Cambodia and Thailand reached an agreement during the 34th Session of the Historical Heritage “published on website Brasilia 2010 Brazil of the Unesco released very confusing statments which I strongly demand the correction in the following points:

1. The word “Hindu temple” is used in the article: It is not wrong but this should be changed to Khmer Temple, Prasat Preah Vihear, or Preah Vihear temple.  We Khmer feel used to these words and any of them can be used. They sound perfectly to us as the descendants.
2. Regarding to the location of Prasat Preah Vihear the writer wrote: “The property is a Hindu temple from the 11th century, located in the border between the two countries.”  This statement is completely wrong  and unacceptable because Prasat Preah Vihear internationally, legally, historically, and geographically locates in Cambodia, not in the border between the two countries-Cambodia and Thailand.  Such a statement must not be carelessly made because it does confuse the public, international community, and especially it can be taken for granted by the extremist PAD in Thailand which may fuel to more border conflicts between the two countries. So I strongly hope that the writer of this article will make a correction in accordance with the reality of Prasat Preah Vihear where it is located.

Dey Krahorm families go to court

Top and bottom right: The houses that occupied the area in December 2008, before they were bulldozed the following month in a violent, pre-dawn eviction. A lawyer for 13 families from the embattled community appeared in Phnom Penh Municipal Court on Tuesday in a bid to secure compensation from 7NG for his clients.

ALAWYER for 13 families who were evicted from the capital’s Dey Krahorm community last year appeared in Phnom Penh Municipal Court on Tuesday in a bid to secure compensation from the development company that cleared their land and now occupies the site.

Te Chamnan, the lawyer for the 13 families, said his clients were called to the court to present information in their case against the 7NG development company, whose employees dismantled 144 homes in the Dey Krahorm community last year in one of the city’s most widely publicised forced evictions.

“The 7NG lawyer repeatedly asked me to clarify why these 13 families did not receive a home at the relocation site, and he said they will check this problem again,” Te Chamnan said.

Chan Vichet, a former Dey Krahorm community representative who attended the hearing as an observer, said the 13 families had not initially received compensation because 7NG said they had rented, rather than owned, their homes. Community records indicate that they were in fact homeowners, Chan Vichet added.

After earlier being promised up to US$20,000 in compensation from 7NG, 120 of the families evicted last year were eventually given only 777,770 riels cash (US$185) and a home in Dangkor district’s Damnak Trayeung village, Chan Vichet said. The remaining 24, he added, are still seeking compensation.

The 13 families who appeared Tuesday have been summoned to appear before the court again on May 24, Te Chamnan said.

On this auspicious occasion I would like to express my deep regards, to ALL women in Cambodia as well as in the world.

MP Mu Sochua (Justin Mott:NYT)

Especially, to those prominent women in Cambodia like Neak Ming Mu Sochua, Neak Ming Kek Galabru, Neak Ming Chea Vannat etc. whose roles and sacrifices mean alot to Khmer people and nation.

Lastly, I hope that all  Khmer men will value our  Khmer women to the level of equal status as men  in our society and to those men who still cling to  the prejudice against our respected women as below please give it up:
