Three Stones border row unfounded, says Touch

School of Vice: Note the Phnom Penh Post's persistence in down-marking the use of the term "yuon" in its reports by ascribing the same repeated negative undertones to it, i.e.: '...using a term for Vietnamese considered offensive by some.' In doing this the post's editor/writer deliberately makes its point clear to the reader that the person/group quoted or the source behind a given report relating to the 'yuons' [Vietnamese] is already guilty of harbouring an ill persuasion and a position of bias, if not outright xenophobia, towards a specific ethnic group by means of such labelling and ascription alone. 

It would be useful if the Post were to justify its persistence in so-doing by offering its readers more detailed and concrete explanations as to why, and since when precisely, the term in question and its day to day usage has been "considered offensive by some"? Would that be too much to ask of an enterprise that otherwise prides itself on professional-ethical journalism? Or has the Post fallen under the spells cast by Cambodia's sweet neighbours to the east too?

The Royal Academy’s head border researcher Sok Touch yesterday dismissed claims that Vietnam had encroached into Cambodia’s Three Stones village along the border in Takeo province after inspecting the site.

Touch visited the area after rumours that Vietnam had claimed two of the three “famous” stones that give the village in Borei Cholsar district its name.

Yesterday, he noted Cambodia’s police checkpoint was only 25 metres from the site while the Vietnamese outpost was about 200 metres away, adding there was no evidence Vietnam had impeded access or was farming there. He labelled the rumours political troublemaking.

“The Vietnamese do not know [that location is meaningful]. But journalists and politicians always prod this topic to make it meaningful,” he said.

However, opposition councillor Thy Ny Thoeun insisted local farmers had been pushed out of the area by Vietnamese.

“If [you] don’t believe, come and see … Our Khmer checkpoint is far from [the border], about 20-30 metres, but the yuon built a [checkpoint] nearly on top of the border of the three stones,” he said, using a term for Vietnamese considered offensive by some.

Neither Canada nor Mexico needs to worry about The United States steels their lands from them.
But Cambodia has faced this problem from its expansionist Vietnam for over 150 years.

The ONLY way to stop this is for Cambodia to build itself strong military and scientifically.
Meanwhile, make a military alliance with the enemy of our enemy, China.

The CPP could do no wrong. The Vietnamese [in and outside of CambodiaJ could do no wrong vis-a-vis Cambodia. Only the Cambodian people themselves [young and old] could not do anything right for their own country [in the eyes of the CPP majority regime] on their own land, water, sea and air!!! Something is very wrong with this picture. Is anyone else [as Khmer or not] just fed-up as I am?

It's a big problem for CNRP if the Khmer make a protest against Hun Sen because the CPP want to eliminate cnrp for good. It's so amazing because cpp are blaming everything to cnrp who is the one who make all the problem. I think cpp has to killed all Khmer is they want to eliminate cnrp .what do you think.

To survive and then win, the CNRP must make itself an elusive target. Don't fight the Yuon and the CPP kind of fight.

This Yuon's slave CPP is very apprehensive at the prospect of losing this next election. That's why it kept provoking, kept attracting the CNRP to make a fight.

So far, the CNRP has been keeping cool, successfully avoiding this Yuon's trap.

Ber Sok Heuy Mech Kor Touch !!

Vietnam has been deploying a 2 ways prong to swallow Cambodia:
- Try encroaching Khmer land as much as it could through the treaties it had made with its puppet Hun Sen.
- Try pouring its Vietnamese citizens to fill Khmer land as much as it could.
Vietnam will ripe its genius works as time goes by. Cambodia will become more and more like Vietnam.
Recently and presently Vietnam has been dictating its puppet Hun Sen to suppress any Khmers who dared to voice their concerns over Cambodia's territorial integrity.

By the way, Koy Pisey's real name might be Nguyen Ker Bok.

I agree Bun Thoeun. Youn are like cock roaches, you can't get rid of it. Literally, I had a fight with a youn dude who keeps throwing paper at my head in a school bus. One day I couldn't take it anymore, I confronted him. We ended up with a fist fight. I knocked him to the ground and all of a sudden, 10 other youn jumped on me. My other 2 khmer friends helped me kicking 10 youn cowards. We have to be smart, you can't fight youn with arm forces. We are too week. We have to think like Tsen Tzu's "The Art of War." Strategy is everything when confronting a bigger opponent.
