A New Chapter of Betrayal Is Being Written in Our History [repost]

A
New Chapter of Betrayal Is Being Written in Our History
26 June 2012
Op-Ed by
Khmer Academy
'No stability, social development or economic progress can justify the loss of national sovereignty and territorial integrity. To believe otherwise is to succumb to treason, a misdeed that my conscience, and I trust yours too, can neither accept nor allow.'
OUR country
is presently going through another dark moment of its history as we witness a
new chapter of betrayal is being written. The authority has recently admitted
that several villages, including the birth place of H.E. Heng Samrin, the
current Chairman of the National Assembly, will be ceded as part of the Eastern
border demarcation process. This is totally in contrast to what it has said,
and unjustly prosecuted those who disagreed, for years that not a single
millimeter of our lands would be lost.
The
authority, with its justification, wants us to believe that due to the
different accuracies found in maps with different scales, some adjustments
along the border have to be made, thus unavoidably resulting in some villages
on both sides being swapped. If that is really the case, why so far only
villages on our side but none on the other side have been identified to the
public? It is incomprehensible and unacceptable that the alleged errors and map
inaccuracies only occur on our side. How can a village where the Chairman of
the National Assembly and his siblings before him were born, raised and farmed
belong to another country? Note that on the 6th of August 1966, Hanoi declared:
"Thlok Trach village [is] on Cambodian territory". Why is it no
longer the case?
Several
other central questions with regard to the entire border demarcation process
remain unanswered. The complete lack of transparency and public consultation
since the beginning of the process only confirms the suspicion by some and
allegation by others that our lands are being ceded to the neighbor, illegally
and deliberately.
It is
evident that the Eastern border demarcation constitutes an application of the
so-called 1982 and 1985 treaties which were signed when our country was
officially recognized by the U.N. as under occupation. As such, the entire
demarcation and the treaties which form its basis are flawed; they are not only
in violation of our sovereignty and constitution, but also in contrary to the
known international laws.
'It is a mistake of historical proportions to assume that border conflicts can be resolved through a one-time land concession.'

Who is Khom? and Who is Khmer?
Is anybody know who is “Khom”? Who are they? and Where do they live? Can anybody tell me? Sometimes ago I felt really embarrassed that I did not know that who is “KHOM” and what they are. But don’t you wanna know why I felt like that? and what it has to do with me personally? Before I answer to that question above, here below are what is in Thailand history refer to as Khom

These couple pieces of papers are quoted from Thai history books, even though I have not yet found the first hand source, which show what “KHORM” alphabets are, which the Siamese refer to. The point is in Thai history. They believe that their scripts were derived from the Khom nation, and the worst is that the Thais do not believe that a “KHOM” is a Khmer.
Let's go back to my question above. The reason I personally felt embarrassed because I am a Cambodian or a Khmer, and I do not know that there is such as word “Khom” in Khmer history, especially a Khom is a word which the Thais refer to the Khmer people in the ancient time.
There is nothing wrong with the ideas above, since in this 21st century most of the country promote human rights and freedom of expression is just one of those rights. However, given false information is what most of us think as completely unacceptable. Thai government has all the right to think and to say as well as the Thai citizens but as long as it is not affecting the other nation or people. The ideas that Thai citizens believe that Khom is not Khmer, the ancient Khmer, is what we Cambodians can not tolerate since it affects the Cambodian history, nationality, origin, and reputation.
A Thai law professor named Sompong Sucharitkul who spoke with ABC Radio Australia on Monday, August 04, 2008 has claimed that a Khom is not a Khmer. He said: "The current generation of Kampucheans are not the same as the Khom, the old Khmer, that may have been successor in title but it’s long far removed from their ancestry.” It seems like Thailand has long been rewriting Cambodian history for their Thai generations, and this kind of belief seemed to be deep rooted in the minds of every single Thai citizen and children who have been taught the wrong history about their neighbors history as what the Thai law professor above has himself been taught.

បើមហាក្សត្រសព្វថ្ងៃ មិនអាចជួយរាស្ត្របានទេ គួរតែដាក់រាជ្យទៅ កុំធ្វើជាស្តេចល្ខោន ឲ្យ ហ៊ុន សែន ប្រើ ដើម្បីលម្អរបបតិរច្ឆានរបស់គាត់។
If the current King cannot help alleviate the sufferings of the Cambodian people under the current dictatorship he should abdicate the throne so as to stop endorsing the destructive and inhumane Hun Sen regime.

Hun Sen on verge of ruining his legacy

One would think that, after being in power for three decades, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen would feel more secure about his position. Sadly, this is not the case. The strongman has a weak temperament, and no mandate from the people is enough to put him at ease. As he prepares for a general election next year, he has decided to go after his political challengers and critics.
