A group of opposition MPs from the SRP party traveled to Kampong Cham province this morning to check on the border safety. However, when they arrived in Thlock Trach and Anlong Chey villages, located in Kak commune, Ponhea Krek distict, Kampong Cham province, where Heng Samrin owns a house there, they found out that the planting of border posts had encroached almost 1 km into Cambodia and only the land in Heng Samrin’s house is carved to remain inside Cambodia.
SRP MP Cheam Channy told other MPs that he came to check border post 125 in Anlong Chey village after the local villagers claimed that this border post encroached on their lands. Following the visit to Ponhea Krek, the SRP MPs led by Mr. Son Chhay continued on to border post 109 located in Thmor Da commune, Memot district as well. This border post which Mr. Rong Chhun of the Cambodian Watchdog Council visited on 05 December, is also encroached into Cambodian territories by almost 200-meter.
The finding of the almost 1-km encroachment by Vietnam in Pohnea Krek corroborates with the comment made by opposition leader Sam Rainsy who said that Heng Samrin told him that the border post is planted next to the stair of his house.
