Hundreds of anti-Hun Sen leaflets have been scattered and distributed in Banteay Meanchey provincial capital of Sirisophorn City on Friday night 26th November, offering condolences to the victims of the recent stampede as well as denouncing and accusing the Hun Sen government of planning the stampede on Koh Pich Bridge which killed 351 and wounded 395 people. "We offer the condolences to the families of the victims of the shocking tragedy which happened on 22-23 November that caused the deaths of more than 500 people and wounded many others during the Water Festival. We, who are patriots and democrats, are very sad and regret the loss of many lives", said the leaflets.
The leaflets then went on to denounce and accuse the Hun Sen government of planning the stampede. "We condemn the Vietnamese puppet government of Mr. Hun Sen and the animal communists who have devised the plan to kill the people. This is not an incident, but it was the Vietnamese plan to kill the Cambodian people", added the statement.
The leaflets went further by saying that many of the dead were poisoned and electrocuted with cables deliberately hidden on the bridge with the aim of killing the people. "If there is no deliberate poisoning of the people and no electric cables planted by the police and military police (who served the Vietnamese and Vietnamese spies disguised as Khmers), there won't be as many people who have been killed by electrocution as we have seen", continued the statement.
Banteay Meanchey provincial authority said it is investigating to find the source of the leaflets. Mr. Ouk Keo Ratanak, spokesman for the Banteay Meanchey Provincial Authority, said those leaflets were brought from Phnom Penh. "According to the information we received from the motor taxi driver, the person who distributed the leaflets dressed as a Buddhist monk, but we don't know if he is a real monk or not. When he arrived (in Sirisophorn City) he got of the motorbike and continued his journey to Svey Chek village. Now we have deployed the police force to catch him to find out if he is a real monk or fake monk", he said.
Mr. Ouk said people are very angry with the leaflets because they are in the process of going through the mourning period for the stampede victims as well as trying to donate the money to help the bereaved families when the leaflets are distributed.

Well.......Hanoi had been very upset with Khmer for speaking out against their ambitions. Maybe the questioning of the legitimacy of the border demarcation really angered Hanoi, so the retaliation was necessary to teach Khmer a lesson. Since there are a lot of Hanoi agents hiding and blending within the Khmer populations, it wouldn't be hard for them to cause to mayhem to cause mass casualty. After that being said, it is unclear who behind this tragic death of innocent people; however, clues are beginning to appear. I wonder what Hun Sen's reaction be if Hanoi did mastermind this plan to kill Khmer.
Why is it that we humans tend to shift the blame on other people, but not that of ourselves? Are these the Khmer's traits that when we are doing something stupid but rather than accepting that we are stupid, we went off our bats and started directing our anger on someone else away from us? Accept the consequences of our own stupidity; and learn not to keep on repeating the same mistakes again. "Ignorance is bliss" and blaming the Vietnamese for our lack of planning is just plain stupid. Stop playing the "race cards" guy; and get on with life.
Hanoi is a master killer. In 1980s ,they sent thousand of Khmer civilians to land mine erea,so that they can kill our people in a indirect way.
Hanoi refused to give aids/food by UN to hungry Khmer (1979-1982).What was Hanoi intention?
Without the collapsing of the communist empire today Cambodia would have been another Campuchea Krom.
True Khmer
3:39 pm relax, the kind of reaction of blaming someone tend to be human quick natural reaction. Some Khmer maybe being pre-judgemental of who is a true perpetrator behind the killing of 351 people. You have to understand the history between Vietnam and Cambodia hasn't been good. Khmer has great bitterness and resentment toward Vietnam. In the past, Vietnamese government had killed a lot of Khmer Krom just to reduce Khmer populations. Some feel Khmer Rouge 's Killing Field has some connection to Hanoi. Hanoi's puppet government of Cambodia killed a lot of Khmer as well. This is probably why certain Khmer feel
that Hanoi is somehow connected to the death of 351
Khmer at Koh Pich. It's a conspiracy. It is very hard to
prove if Hanoi was involved in anything in Cambodia that is
bad because Hanoi is very good at hiding its true dark intentions.
