   *‘Development Triangle’ growth up 10 percent *
   *11/12/2012-02:07:00 PM* 
 *The Cambodia-Laos-Vienam (CLV) Development Triangle Area has 
 achieved an average economic growth of 10 percent in 2011 and 2012 period, 
 meeting the target set for the period.*
   The CLV Development Triangle Area comprises four provinces in Cambodia 
 , four in Laos and five in Vietnam.
 Delegates from all three nations attended a meeting in Vietnam's Kon Tum 
 province last week to discuss measures to foster and strengthen 
 multifaceted cooperation that would help the Triangle Area develop to its 
 potential.
 However, report at the meeting noted that while some important targets 
 have been met, much more remains to be done.
 Ten years after its establishment, the area attracted only one project 
 funded by foreign Official Development Assistance (ODA). However, the 
 Japanese-funded project, worth 20 million USD has been lagging behind 
 schedule due to procedures. Besides, infrastructure projects in the area 
 are also going at slow speed.
 Bounnang Bouna Seng, a representative from Laos said that transportation 
 was the key obstacle for cooperation between the three countries in the 
 triangle area. 
 Sharing the Lao representative’s viewpoint, Youn Heng, Director of the 
 Evaluation and Incentive Department under the Cambodian Council for 
 Development said, “Infrastructure development is essential to link the 
 regions and facilitate business activities as well as help reduce transport 
 costs for not only investors but people in the area as well.” 
 Regarding investment, the meeting noted that most of the projects 
 operating in the area, focusing on agriculture, construction, mining and 
 hydroelectric power, have been invested by Vietnamese firms. 
 Vietnamese businesses have invested in 25 projects with a total registered 
 capital of 1.4 billion USD in the four provinces of Modunkiri, Strung 
 Treng, Rattanakiri and Kratie in Cambodia.
 In the four Laotian provinces of Attapeu, Saravan, Sekong and Champasak, 
 Vietnamese enterprises have 50 projects worth a combined registered capital 
 of 1.65 billion USD.
 Meanwhile, enterprises from Laos and Cambodia have invested in seven 
 projects with a total investment capital of nearly 200 million USD in five 
 provinces of Vietnam – Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dac Lac, Dac Nong and Binh Phuoc.
 The three countries have cooperated with each other to prepare an 
 industrial development plan for the CLV

Re: SON CHHAY: I think the King has no say. He only did what the Prime Minister want

Correction: that Hun Sen is Hun Sen’s subordinate = That the King is
Hun Sen's subordinate.

On Dec 23, 6:28 pm, TSC timothych...@aol.com wrote:
 Whether he likes the Monarchy or not, as a politician one should
 choose his words carefully. Son Chhay can be charged with looking down
 on the Cambodian King by stating publically that the King did whatever
 Hun Sen wanted. This could be interpreted that that Hun Sen is Hun
 Sen’s subordinate.  SRP members seem to do things carelessly that give
 the opportunity to the CPP to challenge them legally.

 The more explicit attacks by Sam Rainsy against the government,
 against Hun Sen and the CPP will draw more confrontational approaches
 from Hun Sen and his administration. The regime can find more reasons
 (or excuses) to charge against SRP and against Sam Rainsy.

 Who will at the end come on top?

  Cambodian opposition angered at Thai spy's pardon

  Updated December 14, 2009  20:49:13
  Cambodia's opposition has accused the government of undermining  the
  country's monarch and of meddling in Thai politics, after the spying  
  conviction
  of a Thai man was overturned. Last week a 31-year-old Thai national  was
  jailed for seven years for tipping off Phnom Penh's Thai embassy about the  
  former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's visit to Cambodia. Three 
  days  
  later the Cambodian king granted Siwarak Chothipong a royal pardon - a move 
   
  that's outraged the opposition.

  Presenter: Liam Cochrane
  Speakers:  Siwarak Chothipong, released Thai citizen; Koy Kuorn, spokesman,
  Cambodian  Foreign Ministry; Son Chhay, opposition politician

  //
      *   Listen:  
      *   _Windows  Media_
  (http://www.abc.net.au/ra/asiapac/stories/m1827361.asx)  
  COCHRANE: It was a swift and sweet release for Thai national Siwarak  
  Chothipong.

  SIWARAK CHOTHIPONG: I feel very happy that I have the freedom  again.

  REPORTER: Did you say anything to Premier Hun Sen?'

  SIWARAK  CHOTHIPONG: Yes, I really appreciate his [Hun Sen's] kindness and
  help me and  let me go out. And I very very appreciate for the kindness of
  your highness, his  majesty of the kingdom of Cambodia that have given me a
  chance to go back  home.

  COCHRANE: Koy Kuorn, spokesman for Cambodia's Foreign Ministry,  says the
  Thai man is a small player in a wider game.

  KOY KUORN: The  former Thai spy is the victim of the Thai embassy in Phnom
  Penh, because he was  ordered by the Thai embassy to do the espionage. And
  normally embassy receives  the order from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or
  the  government.

  COCHRANE: Koy Kuorn denied there was political pressure to  have the man
  released.

  KOY KUORN: This is the right of the King, the  King grant the royal pardon
  to him.

  COCHRANE: But Son Chhay, a member of  parliament for the opposition Sam
  Rainsy Party, called it strange that while  previous requests for royal
  pardons have taken months or years, this politically  sensitive one was 
  granted
  within a week.

Whether he likes the Monarchy or not, as a politician one should
choose his words carefully. Son Chhay can be charged with looking
down
on the Cambodian King by stating publically that the King did
whatever
Hun Sen wanted. This could be interpreted that the King is Hun
Sen’s subordinate.  SRP members seem to do things carelessly that
give
the opportunity to the CPP to challenge them legally.

The more explicit attacks by Sam Rainsy against the government,
against Hun Sen and the CPP will draw more confrontational approaches
from Hun Sen and his administration. The regime can find more reasons
(or excuses) to charge against SRP and against Sam Rainsy.

  Cambodia's opposition has accused the government of undermining  the
  country's monarch and of meddling in Thai politics, after the spying  
  conviction
  of a Thai man was overturned. Last week a 31-year-old Thai national  was
  jailed for seven years for tipping off Phnom Penh's Thai embassy about the  
  former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's visit to Cambodia. Three 
  days  
  later the Cambodian king granted Siwarak Chothipong a royal pardon - a move 
   
  that's outraged the opposition.

  COCHRANE: It was a swift and sweet release for Thai national Siwarak  
  Chothipong.

  SIWARAK CHOTHIPONG: I feel very happy that I have the freedom  again.

  REPORTER: Did you say anything to Premier Hun Sen?'

  SIWARAK  CHOTHIPONG: Yes, I really appreciate his [Hun Sen's] kindness and
  help me and  let me go out. And I very very appreciate for the kindness of
  your highness, his  majesty of the kingdom of Cambodia that have given me a
  chance to go back  home.

  COCHRANE: Koy Kuorn, spokesman for Cambodia's Foreign Ministry,  says the
  Thai man is a small player in a wider game.

  KOY KUORN: The  former Thai spy is the victim of the Thai embassy in Phnom
  Penh, because he was  ordered by the Thai embassy to do the espionage. And
  normally embassy receives  the order from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or
  the  government.

  COCHRANE: Koy Kuorn denied there was political pressure to  have the man
  released.

  KOY KUORN: This is the right of the King, the  King grant the royal pardon
  to him.

  COCHRANE: But Son Chhay, a member of  parliament for the opposition Sam
  Rainsy Party, called it strange that while  previous requests for royal
  pardons have taken months or years, this politically  sensitive one was 
  granted
  within a week.

TO KC: If you are going to Cambodia...

2009-05-20 Thread TSC

Hi P'aun KC,

Good for you to stop giving money to sick indivuals like that...You
may want to visit them and tell them off.

But if you are going to Cambodia, here are some tips...

This is what most Cambodians inside Cambodia expect from the overseas
Cambodians, this includes Cambodian officials, politicians and common
people. You have to pay for their meals, room and board, gasoline and
other expenses. Everything will be mostly on you.  If you bring a
group of family and relatives touring with you, as expected, you will
have to pay for their expenses as well. You don’t need to invite them;
they will invite themselves to go with you.

If you need to visit your relatives and friends in rural areas, you
are expected to hand out some contributions. Cash is preferable. Just
make sure that you don’t “Kapp Ko Kandal Phsar.”  Expect also that
everyone will ask you for some kinds of medicine. Everyone will tell
you that they are somehow sick.  If you give a couple of tablets of
headache medicine, for example, to one person; expect more people will
come to you for the same illness.

If you happen to invite an official or a politician to go to lunch or
dinner with you (I hope not), you will also be expected to pay for his
spouse, friends and colleague. That is not all; you will also need to
pay for his chauffeur and bodyguards. Usually, these people eat and
drink more than you and your guests.  Expect two or more bills at the
end of your meal.  Don’t get caught in an embarrassing moment when you
have to dig deep into your pocket for nickels and dimes. Tipping is
also on you.  It is suggested that you give tips directly to your
waiters or waitresses when the owners are not present, if you give it
to the owner, the tip will be kept by him/her.

The best part is that if any officials or politicians come to the
U.S., You are expected to do the same things.

Go figure!

Regards,

Lenny,

There is no system in place to safeguard environments or to enforce
public health issue. Cambodians just throw garbage anywhere they
please. They urinate or take a dump at any space they want and left it
unburied.  Most households don’t have any kind of “outhouse”
available. You just have to watch you don’t step on their droppings in
their backyards. Try to eat lunch or dinner without being devoured by
flies and other kinds of insects.  Then, you wonder why nearly all
Cambodians are somehow unhealthy.

I don’t think it is because of poverty, I think it's just plain
carelessness, laziness and the lack of law enforcements. Where I live,
I would be served with plenty of summons, if rubbishes are found
around my home. No still water can be left in the back or front yard.
You will lose your shirt if you are found urinated in public.

It’s a shame for me to say all of this, because I am one of
Cambodians, too.  Cambodians have to seriously change a lot of things;
this issue is one of them.

 You should not be ashamed to say or doing right thing but you should be

 You should try to understand people, their way of life, their priority;

 give priority to mind beauty than appearance. Other may arm priority to
 wealthy over spirituality. Some are just tired and stave of hungry and don’t
 give shit important to thing around.  Some people did not see anything wrong
 in crime, in killing, in injustice but being disturbed about shit and
 garbage.  If I believe tale about Luis XIV, not late than 18th century, the
 grand French sun king Luis XIV and his nobles still piss like dogs inside in
 the royal palace the Versailles. There is no shit hygiene place yet. Luis
 XIV rarely took his bath so each time he took a bath is a pretext for the
 entire kingdom to make a big festivity.  Not long ago, Americans were still
 a bunch of oafs and criminals, sunk in the bath of blood and still can
 barely get head out of it even now they have much quite good appearance.
 Remember, a butterfly with all its beauties and elegant was early a worm.
 Yes I agree there are a lot of things that these people must change, must
 get rid of but it is not this kind of ill prejudice that can help them. If
 you have this kind of prejudice in the brain cell, you should not give shit
 time to help them just to look down on them and to self exhibit as a better
 person. Better let they stave to die. Each person, each nation has its
 neurosis. The only difference is they are on right track or the otherside of
 truth.  You must know that prejudice is a way to an act of crime.  It is
 often  by prejudice and profane of hated that drown people to commit crime.
 Yuons  also use this kind of prejudice and profane of hated against these

Hi Lenny,

Thanks for your reply.

Working doesn't mean that one must be employed. I have been to Kralanh
and Samrong and I know that the people are destitute, there. But, many
people have so much free time that they can turn your contributions
into gold with a little effort, if they want to.

However, many people chose to sit around and do nothing, not even
planting some household vegetables to feed the family. They would
rather go to the market to buy things that they can produce themselves
with little effort. Some don't even clean their home, backyard and or
front yard and they rather sit around with garbage all over the place.
Many would rather spend time playing card and singing Karaoke in the
nearby shop. That is what I call abuse.

I used to do the same thing like you do by funding monthly money to
support my siblings, nieces and nephews; but much of the funds had
been gone with the wind.  I stopped! Realizing that they had no choice
but to work for the money, then everyone started to work harder and
now they are self-reliant and I will only help them when they can
prove that they want to help themselves first.
Here is a link of some picture of a road to Samrong

  Hi Lenny,

  You are caught in the never-ending support to these people. $100.00 a
  month falling from the sky is very helpful for any family, regardless
  of its size. Many people are breaking their back for $50.00 (of some
  60 hours/week hard-laboring work) in a factory.

  While I appreciate your good intention, I think you do more harm than
  help by not teaching these people the values of hard work. I doubt
  that you can get this $100.00 from a Canadian tree; you work for it,
  don’t you?

  Cambodian society now is a society dominated by “beggars” where many
  people expect special handouts from people like you and others who are
  heartbroken from seeing their poverty and injustices in Cambodia.
  They love you to death when you feed them freely, but at the moment
  that you stop helping them or putting any conditions on them, it’s
  almost certain that you will become their foe overnight. If this will
  happen, please don’t be disappointed. Just think that it was an
  unconditional love that you have for them. Such thought may set you
  free, but that is what they are banking on. 100 years from now, these
  people will still begging for free contributions.

  There are so many tricks and lies (I have no ideas where they learned
  them from) to break your heart. Some use sickness, diseases and
  family’s problems to beg; some use social or political injustices to
  request your assistance; others just create their personal lies. It
  happens throughout the country and in all institutions. It is a cancer
  in Cambodian modern society. Government is looking for handouts;
  politicians are also looking for handouts and NGOs, too, are looking
  for handouts; and much of contributions have been abused. When is it

  One Cambodian lives near me here in New York was notified by his

things with the kind of soil that my relatives have. I bought them
seeds of all kinds of vegetable and gardening flower and asking them
to grow them.  Many month later, I went back to check to see if they
had grown them. They told me that there was not much rain to grow
anything. I told them that I had dug nice wells for them to use the
water for such purposes. They told me that it was too hard to water
the plants with well water.  Meanwhile, they rather asked for more
money to go shopping for things that they could grow themselves and
had the nerve to complain that those things have gotten more
expensive.

On the other hand, most Vietnamese and Chinese are working real hard
for their money. They work hard from collecting cans, fishing, growing
fruits and vegetables, selling all kinds of products and they don’t
expect any handouts. They would risk their life to come into Cambodia
for such an opportunity to work the land. Many of these individuals,
except the newcomers, were in the same Pol Pot regime and yet they
have managed to rise from poverty quicker than most Cambodians.

We need to change their mentality from being sluggish to energetic and
stop depending on others to feed them forever. In this competitive
world we cannot have both free time and money at the same time unless
you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth.  Cambodians can
become self-sufficient like any other people in the world, but they
must work.  Maybe it’s time for the world, country of donors and
politicians to stop “giving them fish, but teach them how to fish”…
and let them fish or be starved. Somehow I feel that many of them are
being spoiled!

If you don’t work, you don’t eat!

Thanks KC

 Hi Lenny,

 Thanks for your reply.

 Working doesn't mean that one must be employed. I have been to Kralanh
 and Samrong and I know that the people are destitute, there. But, many
 people have so much free time that they can turn your contributions
 into gold with a little effort, if they want to.

 However, many people chose to sit around and do nothing, not even
 planting some household vegetables to feed the family. They would
 rather go to the market to buy things that they can produce themselves
 with little effort. Some don't even clean their home, backyard and or
 front yard and they rather sit around with garbage all over the place.
 Many would rather spend time playing card and singing Karaoke in the
 nearby shop. That is what I call abuse.

 I used to do the same thing like you do by funding monthly money to
 support my siblings, nieces and nephews; but much of the funds had
 been gone with the wind.  I stopped! Realizing that they had no choice
 but to work for the money, then everyone started to work harder and
 now they are self-reliant and I will only help them when they can
 prove that they want to help themselves first.
 Here is a link of some picture of a road to Samrong

Hi KC,

Thanks for sharing. It is good that you can laugh away your
innocence.

I have heard a case with a political leader who was given
contributions to help dig water wells for certain villagers. Many
donors thought he was a decent man. Recently, one of the donors went
to check that particular village to look for the wells promised by
this politician that the wells would be dug, but to her
disappointment, the wells were nowhere to be found.

She came back to the U.S and laughed at him, too. I am sure, however,
that politician was lauging all the way to bis bank. :-)

I have tons of story like this to tell. It could be written as
historical books.

Have you ever sent any more money after that?

I hope not.

Thanks again KC.

Re: My Cambodian foster daughter

2009-05-17 Thread TSC

Hi Lenny,

You are caught in the never-ending support to these people. $100.00 a
month falling from the sky is very helpful for any family, regardless
of its size. Many people are breaking their back for $50.00 (of some
60 hours/week hard-laboring work) in a factory.

While I appreciate your good intention, I think you do more harm than
help by not teaching these people the values of hard work. I doubt
that you can get this $100.00 from a Canadian tree; you work for it,
don’t you?

Cambodian society now is a society dominated by “beggars” where many
people expect special handouts from people like you and others who are
heartbroken from seeing their poverty and injustices in Cambodia.
They love you to death when you feed them freely, but at the moment
that you stop helping them or putting any conditions on them, it’s
almost certain that you will become their foe overnight. If this will
happen, please don’t be disappointed. Just think that it was an
unconditional love that you have for them. Such thought may set you
free, but that is what they are banking on. 100 years from now, these
people will still begging for free contributions.

There are so many tricks and lies (I have no ideas where they learned
them from) to break your heart. Some use sickness, diseases and
family’s problems to beg; some use social or political injustices to
request your assistance; others just create their personal lies. It
happens throughout the country and in all institutions. It is a cancer
in Cambodian modern society. Government is looking for handouts;
politicians are also looking for handouts and NGOs, too, are looking
for handouts; and much of contributions have been abused. When is it
going to end?

One Cambodian lives near me here in New York was notified by his
siblings in Cambodia that his mother had died two times on different
dates. Before knowing that he was being deceived, the man had depleted
his savings and cash from his credit card.

Yes, Cambodians need help, but they must work… and prove that they “do
work.” The value of your free assistance is worth as much as free
thing; it equal to nothing in the long run.

Move on, you have done enough.

 the other half in Khmer.  I've just told her a few days ago I want her needs

KR Trial and the Telephone or Chinese Whispers

2009-04-29 Thread TSC


Watching the Khmer Rouge Trial on television makes me think that the
dialogues in the KR courtroom, through translators, between different
languages, Khmer, French and English, has the same result as the game
called the Telephone or in some parts of Europe as the Chinese
whispers.  It also reminds me about a Khmer folktale known as K' Aek
muoy chea K'aek dobb (one crow =10 crows) where the errors typically
accumulate in the retellings, so the statement announced by the last
person differs significantly, and often amusingly, from the one
uttered by the first.



Different Khmer Rouge's terminology, Khmer slang and expressions used
by Kaing K. Iev or Duch didn't just make it very difficult for
Cambodian translators to communicate with foreign judges but they also
bewildered some younger generation's Khmer judges and the people in
the courtroom and made them feel and look stupid.



Duch's Command in Cambodian language, especially KR's terminology and
Khmer expressions also makes Duch, a Khmer Rouge killer, feel and
looks far superior to his interrogators.



Is this trial is worth $170 million dollars?

Re: Hun Sen, Opposition Lawmaker in Court Battle

2009-04-28 Thread TSC

A agree with Theary Seng.

There are more pressing issues for Cambodian people and Cambodia to
deal with at this time.  PM Hun Sen is known for his tongue slipping,
sometimes intentionally, during his many speeches. There are no
excuses for that. But, if everyone is looking to sue him for what says
and has said, then Cambodian courtroom would not have enough space to
store lawsuits.

Ms. Mu Sochua, on the other hand, has made it known that what PM Hun
Sen said was offensive to her and to Cambodian women.  Everyone may
agree with her up to this point.   What I find it childish is for Ms
Sochua to put her integrity and the integrity of Cambodian women to be
equivalent to 500 Cambodian riels. This may be perceived as a joke by
many people and only give ammunition to PM Hun Sen to strike back.

Cambodian women’s integrity, if Ms Sochua truly wants to fight for, is
worth more than 500 Cambodian riels to be framed and hung on her
office wall.

However, one must understand that in Cambodian politics, politicians
always seek for an opportunity to create some “special events” to
score some political victory. It may have little things to do with the
real issues.

 Hun Sen, Opposition Lawmaker in Court Battle

 Mu Sochua (R) and Hun Sen (L)

 By Heng Reaksmey, VOA Khmer
 Original report from Phnom Penh
 27 April 2009

 Prime Minister Hun Sen and an opposition lawmaker exchanged defamation 
 lawsuits in Phnom Penh court Monday, each side claiming damaged reputations 
 from the other.

 National Assembly lawmaker Mu Sochua, a representative of the opposition Sam 
 Rainy Party in Kampot province, claims Hun Sen defamed her during a speech in 
 the 2008 national election campaign.

 Hun Sen claims a press conference held by Mu Sochua last week, accusing him 
 of defamation, was also defaming.

 This morning I filed a lawsuit at the Phnom Penh Municipal Court for 
 defamation, following Article 63, based on what Prime Minister Hun Sen said 
 in public on April 4, 2008, in Kampot, Kong Som An, lawyer for Mu Sochua, 
 said Monday.

 The lawsuit alleges that Hun Sen's remarks about a strong-lady in Kampot 
 province, making trouble, were directed at Mu Sochua, and subsequent 
 remarks about a conflict between the lady and an unnamed official, which led 
 to a torn blouse, were defamation.

 Ky Tech, a lawyer for the government, said he too had filed a complaint in 
 the municipal court. He declined to give detailed information from the 
 complaint. We'll let the court process the case, he told VOA Khmer.

 As a member of the National Assembly, Mu Sochua enjoys parliamentary 
 immunity, but officials say it can be suspended if she is called to court. 
 Hun Sen, as a representative of Kandal province, also has immunity that could 
 potentially be stripped.

 Government spokesman Khieu Kanharith said Mu Sochua was spreading 
 misinformation that had led to criticism from the international community, 
 which the countersuit seeks to mitigate.

 Phnom Penh court officials could not be reached for comment.

 Seng Theary, executive director of the Center for Social Development, 
 appealed to both side to drop the lawsuits.

 Both sides suing each other gains nothing, she said.
