On behalf of the justice-loving Cambodian people and in defense of countless victims of abuses and injustices in this country, the Sam Rainsy Party (SRP), Cambodia’s second largest political party, declares the PHANIMEX company “enemy of the Khmer people” for its socially unacceptable Borei Keila real estate development in the capital city of Phnom Penh that has caused heartbreaking sufferings to hundreds of poor people over the last few years. Victims of land grabbing and forced evictions due to PHANIMEX have been savagely repressed until the last few days.
On September 11, 2011 the SRP Fifth Convention adopted the following resolution (point # 2):
«Approve and publicize the watchword of the SRP: "Give back to the Khmer people any assets stolen from them ".
The future government led by the SRP will cancel all land, forest and mining concessions granted by the present government that were associated with land grabbing and eviction of the legitimate owners of the land.
Our nation’s assets will be given back to our nation.
Rice fields and other farmland, forests and mountains, rivers and lakes, fishing zones, seashores and islands will be returned to their legitimate owners, meaning the Khmer people, or will be used to serve the public interest and the needs of the entire population, especially the poorest segment of the population.
Any individual or private company that forcibly seizes land or living areas belonging to the local population and deprives them of their livelihood is considered as “enemy of the Khmer people” and will be punished accordingly.
The people are the only owners and masters of the land. »
Therefore the SRP warns all legitimate companies and organizations worldwide not to associate themselves in any way with the PHANIMEX company, meaning, inter alias, not to detain any stake in its capital, not to get involved in any joint venture with it, not to lend it any money, not to give it any guarantee, not to buy any good, service or product from it, not to sell any good, service or product to it, not to cooperate with it in any way, and, in short, not to be perceived as
accomplices of this enemy of the Khmer people that will be treated as such when Cambodia becomes a democratic, independent and sovereign state.
The PHANIMEX company is owned and managed by Ms SUY SOPHAN, a ruthless and unscrupulous businesswoman closely associated with the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP). PHANIMEX is the second private company to be declared “enemy of the Khmer people” by the SRP. The first company to be denounced that way was SHUKAKU Inc. which was given this infamous title “Enemy of the Khmer people” on September 19, 2011 for its senseless Boeung Kak Lake development project in Phnom Penh also.

what's the role of Khmer King on forced eviction?
As much as anyone else who hates injustice,corruption, governmental incompetency etc...I condemn the ruthless eviction process of this place or any places in the kingdom.
But I have to denounce the practice of making or keeping enemy list. I do not want to see Khmer consider another Khmer as enemy especially when we have a combined of more than 100+ millions less friendly people around us for centuries already.
