PHNOM PENH (Cambodia Herald) - The Khmer Kampuchea Krom Federation says
it plans commemorate Sunday the 63rd anniversary of France's conversion
of Cochinchina into the State of Vietnam in 1949.
Although the
state lasted only until 1955 when Vietnam was partitioned into two
countries, the group claims the former French colony of Cochinchina
belonged to Cambodia.
Thach Setha (pictured), the federation's president,
said Sunday's ceremony at Ang Ta Minh temple would involve 1,949 monks
and about 2,000 lay people.
He said the Phnom Penh Municipal
Court had ruled that neither the federation nor the Khmer Kampuchea Krom
Cooordination Committee could hold ceremonies at Wat Botom Vatey
pagoda.
"The purpose of the commemoration is to remind the next
generation of Khmers about our bitterly painful time in history," Thach
Setha said.
He urged Vietnam to respect the rights of its ethnic
Khmer landowners in line with the United Nations, international treaties
and other agreements Vietnam has signed.

Dear Khmers,
We should organize and mount a protest in front of the
UN, and the Vietnamese Embassies around the world, about Kampucha Krom and what Vietnam is doing
in Cambodia.
Let the international community know .
Let's expose the Viet tricks !
Man, get over it. It was lost in the 1800s.
First they ask for religious freedom which they have plenty. Now the true face comes out. They want succession?
Who is telling you that Chochinchina aka kampuchea krom lost since 1800's? My friend if you don't know the best way you can do is shut your lips! In June 4,1949 that Chochinchina aka kampuchea krom was transferred to V.C without the consent of khmers by French.
....Lolz
You bet,they do....and they will...person like you is laughable when you open your mouth say thing that don't know...
We must let the world know, not just only about Kampucha Krom now, but also the possible SECOND Kampucha Krom.
Cambodia has been benignly OCCUPIED by Vietnam for more than 27 years.
Let's liberate our country and ourselves !!!
A Khmer Patriot
