-----Original Message----- From: Bouawat Sithi <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, Apr 21, 2010 10:09 am Subject: Thomson Reuters' map has shrunk Cambodian territory by 4,515 sq. km Dear Cambodian Compatriots, Thomson Reuters has not shrunk the Cambodian map. Hun Sen is the one who has shrunk the Cambodian map by allowing Yuon to plant the border markers or border demarcation posts inside Cambodian territory. Yuon is illegally trying to plant its border demarcation posts deeper and deeper inside the Cambodian territory. Lok Sam Rainsy is the one who has tried to defend our land by removing several of them that were planted inside the Cambodian land. Yuon sees Lok Sam Rainsy just like Lok Sam Rainsy sees the border demarcation posts inside Cambodia. Yuon just wants him removed out of their sights. Bouawat Sithi Wednesday, April 21, 2010 Thomson Reuters' map has shrunk Cambodian territory by 4,515 sq. km By Khmerization Source: Kampuchea Thmey The Cambodian government is furious that Thomson Reuters Foundation, an international news service, had shrunk Cambodia's land mass by 4,515 sq. kilometres, reports Kampuchea Thmey. Thomson Reuters Foundation had listed in its official website the total Cambodian territory as 176,520 sq. kilometres, instead of the official total area of 181,035 sq. kilometres recorded in all official documents. The Cambodian Council of Ministers (CoM) had written a letter since 12th April requesting Thomson Reuters for a correction, but up until now it said it had not received any correspondences from Thomson Reuters yet. Mr. Tith Sothea, spokesman for the CoM's Press and Quick Reaction Unit, said the Cambodian government had requested Thomson Reuters to correct the mistake as a matter of urgency. However, up until now the CoM had not received any official reply from Thomson Reuters yet, he said. During the 22nd SEA Games hosted by Vietnam in Hanoi in 2003, the Games official website listed Cambodia's total area as 176,520 sq. kilometres. The website only change Cambodia's land mass to 181,035 sq. km after Khmer overseas strongly protested. Posted by Khmerization | Permalink | 3 comments: Anonymous said... Google Map steals Cambodia Preah Vihear Temple and now Reuters steals Cambodia territory. I wonder why it got to be Gulf of Thailand instead of Gulf of Indochina? 6:36 PM Anonymous said... Thomson Reuters copied this information from a Vietnamese SEA Games hosted by Vietnam in Hanoi in 2003 like the article said. The SEA Games website in Hanoi put Khmer territory at 176.520 km2, not the correct 181,035 km2. 7:28 PM Anonymous said...
