Thai red shirts killed Khmer: Are they above Cambodian laws?

Dear readers,

Someone has just left a message in this blog saying that a car driven by a group of Thai red shirt activists had hit and killed one Khmer and injured several Khmer people in Puok area, Banteay Meanchey province, when they returned home to Thailand after coming to meet Thai Shinawatra in Siem Reap recently.

What is so shocking is that the Cambodian police didn't stop the Thai convoy, but allowed them to cross the border into Thailand freely.

This is the message: 

"Dear Khmerization

My comment here is not related to this topic. But I just want Khmerization and other colleagues to know about a bad news related to Thai Red Shirt group.

According to the credible source, Thai red shirt group had caused a traffic accident during their return to Thailand from Siem Reap. Their car had hit Khmer people in Pouk area, they killed 1 Khmer and injured few people but the [Cambodian] police didn`t stop them, but just allowed them to go back to Thailand freely. We are like animal."

After Hun Sen had spent about $3 million of Cambodia's money to give them free entry to Angkor Wat and deploying 4500 to protect them, is this what they had paid back in kind to the Khmer people?
If this news is correct, then the Thais are not only the masters of Cambodians, but they are above the Cambodian laws. I'm interested know if other readers can confirm if this news is true.

The Thai "Red Shirt" people are khmer's descendant they should help khmer each other not to shoot and killing khmer each other...? Khmer people went to Thailand to look for(jobs), and help just like Khmer Kampuchea Krom came to Cambodia for help....I heard alot of khmers refugees escape to Thailand were abused and killed by the Thai-Red Shirt people or Khmer Surin's people!

The real Thai people never hurt or harm any people, they are very nice people, they came with greeting- smile!...But usually Thai black soldiers are the one who kick and beaten khmer each other...I've seen khmer refugees beaten til he passed out and thrown in the back of the pickup truck..

Thanks for posting this insight.

We all should focus more and more about capitalism, corporate social responsibility and the motives of profit seeking, and compared it to communism, that had the country go back to year zero by the Khmer Rouge. This is very fascinating.

There are ills of both concepts. Capitalism does not care who you are as long as you can generate profits for the firm or corporation. Whereas communism dictates who can serve the principles of the state or state-run modes of production.

What is capitalism? It is the mode of producing mass quantities with the use of machinery and division of labour for everybody on an assembly line. This is efficiency driven mode of production. It is also hierarchy division of people. One boss and the mass in every department of production. The goal is purely profit driven competition with other companies in the same industry. There is little criss-crossed competition. The wealthy live with wealthy lifestyles: vacation, convenience of life, emotions are distinguished in various places, intellectuals live in an intellectual enviroment such as in library, home offices and home research laboratory, and time is very divided for various activities. The poor live in servitude and insubordination for the hierarchy.

Side effects of capitalism would include prostitution, drugs and crime, hidden poverty and hidden emotions, convenience and luxury of life with the loss of family values and bondness (nice cars, homes, parks, roads, green grass, nice library, nice arenas for sports, nice stores, nice restaurants, nice beer and liquor stores, nice tvs, nice kids, independent lifestyles, family is not of much value as long as money comes first), and economy of mass production with huge profits from cheap sources of production from poor countries facing mass unrests and social inequalities(steel, iron, wood, etc).

What are commmunism? The ideology of living together, communal life, no class, state-owned production to be shared equally among the people, family-oriented, and village life where everybody helps everybody.

Whereas side effects of communism would include: discrimination against different modes of production (different odds can not fit in with the mass), exposed hunger and poverty on first-hand real scale and in public, emotions driven, inefficient modes of production with losses of profits.

To summarize, one who is intellectual or educated must not fall into trap in these two ideologies, in which every society lives in both of them but to different percentages of each.

I hope I could contribute back to society a little bit to make it a more just and desirable place to live and to be apart of. Also, I hope people of various backgrounds never underestimate the strength of knowledge and experience of others and look down on your peers whose sole purpose in life is to live peacefully without repression, economic and social discrimination. Everybody deserves freedom and liberty of all kinds and in all stages of life

Thank you

I wonder why Thai soldier has to open fire at unarmed civilian people? why can't they just arrest them and put them in jail if they broken their law by crossing illegally? I thought Thailand is a lawfull country...?
