Sam Rainsy at the border of Cambodia-Vietnam: thing that is not silent any more

Bravo Sam Rainsy!
This is a very good time for all Cambodians to ensure that the protection of Cambodian border with Thailand is very important as well as the protection of border with Vietnam is also very important. These two countries have gradually encroached Cambodia land until we are left in a small size like a "leave of bodhi tree" nowadays.

Every Cambodian and government officials have to appreciate with Sam Rainsy who has made this debate happen in order to tell Vietnam that their gradual violation through the border demarcation is not silent any more.


Again, some of CPP's members and misunderstanding Khmers might have always condemned Sam Rainsy of acting like a hyper-politician. But now, I have word to balance my argument.

1. Sam Rainsy has done a correct thing for Cambodian nation. What is the measure to demarcate Cambodian border correctly? By GIS or by people who have lived in those actual lands years and years. We all know that respectful bilateral treaty has never existed between Vietnam and Hun Sen government. Children can also understand this common relationship. China might back Cambodia to face with Vietnam, but surely Hun Sen leadership will not do that because of huge gratitude that Hun Sen has to pay back to Vietnam. Otherwise, the Cambodian land which was claimed by those local farmers are truly belonging to them (Cambodians). The demarcation and border poles are just the treaty of "kill without bleeding". Those Cambodian farmers are the primary witness of Vietnam who has always encroached Cambodia land. But through the supplemental border treaty, Vietnam can demarcate (encroach) deep into our Cambodian land legally. Importantly, this Vietnamese news has well utilized its primary purpose to condemn Sam Rainsy. Very good, we are looking to hearing the feedback from our government.

Interestingly, the theme and style of this news is the same as the news/statement of Hun Sen government.

2. This is a very good time for all Cambodians to ensure that the protection of Cambodian border with Thailand is very important as well as the protection of border with Vietnam is also very important. These two countries have gradually encroached Cambodia land until we are left in a small size like a "leave of bodhi tree" nowadays.

Every Cambodian and government officials have to appreciate with Sam Rainsy who has made this debate happen in order to tell Vietnam that their gradual violation through the border demarcation is not silent any more.

Let all Cambodians shoulder together for our territorial land.
