damn stupid loggers. you can't use machete to fight against gun. if you think about committing crimes you should go all out. otherwise, you will end up dead like that.
We hear again and again about poor Khmer farmers have been shot dead and some burnt alive by Thai soldiers on Khmer- Thai border, and this time for the first time by Loastian soldiers, which is supposed to be freind of the CPP.
What happened above are the direct consequences of the economic mismanagement of the CPP. CPP have created this time bomd policy. Thousand of hectars have sold to Hanoi to plant rubbers or Cashew-nut plantation for 99 years. Can't Khmer farmers plant this rubbers plants by ourselves? While many poor Khmer farmers are desperate for work. We have thousand of Khmers are working illegally for Thai employers, who pay them penuts and many are being arrested and imprisoned.
The CPP deplomats are being sedated by corruption. They simply dont care about this. They don't see it as a problem, because those, who were killed were not Huns' clans.
They should have raised this issue seriously with these two countries to respect human right, which is the mother of all concern. Those who were killed are a part of us. What they been treat is what we all as a society been treated. Their dignity is our dignity.
Get real!
True Khmer
Sad really. Our Khmer people are so poor that they risked their life crossing the borders and got killed by foreign troops. This is the result of economic mismanagement and incompetent of Mr. Hun Sen who only worry about his power and pocket, but never worry about the welfare of the poor Khmers. Cambodia is rich in natural resources and I hope one day some good leaders will take charge and develop Cambodia to prosperity so our poor people don't need to cross borders and got killed like animals.
