why dont they all just fuckin die, really this is driving us crazy. its even crazier when u live in a foreign country u see this happening in ur homeland, but u feel powerless too stop this bs sigh sigh sad. cambodian police act like criminals towards their own people, but to real enemies of the state they shit themselves something they will take to thier graves.
Under the CPP, law enforcement and the military is a expendable commodity like product which can be bought. The real threat has always been the CPP, not a country in the world would allow corporations to take control over Military and Security of that national country. every for sale in srok khmer even our pride. it will take a long but important task to purge the disease that these men create and totally abused. they dont deserve any mercy at all.
Police just doing their jobs duty...People shouldn't clear land that belonged to state and claiming It...because of high sky-rock price$$ of lands today! Boeung Kok is another example, the erea belonged to state since king suramaridh norodom reign...Our govts trying very hard to upgrade our city and town, so people can have better future: jobs, better economy for everyone!!! But people today are greedy claiming land that belonged to state!!
The policemen is the victim also...They just doing their jobs..
dear colleagues..
don't be suprised, they have to re-enforce laws in order, the city authorities need to clean up the places,such as: dirty, crooked, drug dealing, hookers,thief, etc,,,
no differences in USA or EU, the authorities will need to do the same or worse
i supported them, for doing this job, to make our country, make our city, safe n clean...
2:30 AM and 5:46 AM, These people lived here since 1979 so by law they owned the place. Hun Sen and Chea had occupied many villas illegally in 1979 and they had the right to keep them.
Also, if the government needs the land to develop it must compensate the people at the market price. This one, corrupt officials sold their land to a corrupt businesswoman and she failed to compensate them at the market price. Don't tell me that the US and EU did the same because I live in one of these countries so you can't lie to me. In these countries, if the police did this to the people, evict them illegally by violence, they would go to jail. Also the corrupt officials who sold the land illegally to this corrupt businesswoman will also go to jail for corruption. In the West, if the government needs the land to develop, it will pay for the land at the market price or a bit higher, not forcibly confiscate from the people like this.
Hun sen and ccp you bunch of crooks. Stupid cops .one day the Cambodian people will rise and stand up. There's are right and wrong way about doing this. One day it gonna bite them back in the ass
