DEFECTION TO CPP TO AVOID LAW CASE?

Recently, at least two pro-opposition party personels defected to support the CPP after they were sued by the Government, especially by the Prime Minister Hun Sen. Both of them are Mr. Kong Sam On, the former lawyer to Mou Sokhua, now defected to CPP and another one is Mr. Dam Sith, the Director of Monakseka Khmer that was wellknown as pro-opposistion party newspaper.
Mr. Kong Sam ON was sued by the Government about defaming case. The sue case happened after he joined the press with Mou Sokhua at Sam Rainsy Party's Headquarter. During the case was being actioned by the court, he also face of loosing the job as lawyer because Mr. Ka Savuth, the Governmnet's lawyer also submitted the petition to Cambodia Lawyer Committee. Now, the law suit against him was withdrawn by the government after the government received his appology letter. According to the local news paper, he also defected to join CPP.

After the government decided to withdraw the law case against Mr. Kong Sam On, there was another news reported that Mr. Dam Sith decided to write an appology letter to Hun Sen to finish the law suit against him. The news reported addistionally that Mr. Dam Sith decided to stop printing his news paper that always critised the government led by CPP.

With this two cases, it shows that the government is trying to shut up the opposition voice. If the purpose of the government is like what mentioned above, Cambodia is on the way to be under communism instead of democrat.

DEFAMING LAW CASES BETWEEN MOU SOKHUA AND HUN SEN

After a speech in Kampot Province stated by Prime Minister Hun Sen, Mou Sokhua, the opposition law maker stated that she would sue Hun Sen for defaming case as he critised her during his speech. After a statement made and the news press held in Head Quater of Sam Rainsy Party, she and here lawyer, Mr. Kong Sam On submit her sue to the Phnom Penh Court. After the case submitted the court stated that the case is dismissed with the reason that Hun Sen stated without mentioneding the name of the person he referred to. So there's no point to take action on that.
Please take a tour to his speech. He didn't mentioned on the name of the person her referred to but we can see that it's clear enough to acknowledge that he referred to Mou Sokhua as he mentoined that there's one lady law maker from the opposition party who represent for Kampot Province strongly critisized his government during the election campaign. He also mentioned that the lady lawyer she mentioned didn't aim to anyone because there are lady law makers from his party in Kampot Province also. Yes, even there are lady law makers from his party but his party's law maker would never critise their own party.

With this reason, we can see that he did referred to Mou Sokhua which the court should take this base to take action on Mou Sokhua's petition. They should not dismiss the case.

THAI OFFICIAL ALWAYS CHANGE THEIR WORD WHEN THEY KNOW THEY ARE DEFEAT

We remember once that Foreign Minister of Thailand stated impolite words toward Samdach Hun Sen, the Prime Minister of Cambodia, used to change their word from Play Boy or Gang (Dek Kere in Thai words) to be Play Boy with Good Mind. This minister also shout by referring to Hun Sen that " Khun Bar Bar Bor Bor = Crazy Man". Recently, Thai Government, especially the Thai Prime Minister Abhisitt Vijjajiva, also showed their ambition to get UNESCO reviewing on the listing of Preah Vihear Temple. They need the temple to be listed as World Heritage Site under both Government Thailand and Cambodia by giving the reason that the listing caused the border dispute. This government also sent the Delegates to Join the 33rd Meeting in Spain of UNESCO to show their ambition to the committee. After strong reaction from the Top Leader of Cambodia including Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, there is a news reported that Thai Prime Minister will send his Deputy Prime Minister which is considered as a strong man and a key person to establish a new government led by Democrat Party, Mr. Sunthep Thonsaban, to woo Hun Sen about his word on Preah Vihear Listing. We don't know yet on what subjects will be talking with Hun Sen. We hope that Thai will change their word to pamper their Counterpart, Cambodia. If Thailand fails to chase UNESCO as their Ambition, we can see that Thai will use different explanation on their Prime Minister Words are they used to do to Kasit Phyromya's Words toward Samdach Hun Sen. We are hoping that Cambodia Government will be confident on keeping their reaction against Thai Prime Minister as well as their top leaders by not agreeing to what they need to change the meaning of their words.

PREAH VIHEAR OR PRAH VIHAN

Dear Thai Nationalists,

You should not try to look for trick to get Cambodian following you as you are their boss. They are also educated people and they have an independent country. They are not under yours. You should try to find ways to solve the border dispute caused by your Thai Royal Army which your main reason is from your defeat on rejection the listing of Preah Vihear Temple as World Heritage. Your Thai Government tried to get a new name for the Hendu Temple of Preah Vihear as Prah Vihan in the meeting for solving the problem at the border. Thai Natinalists should dismiss this kind of ambition as you already acknowledged yourself that Preah Vihear is belonging to Cambodia since 1962 through an international court decision. You also see that every of your news agent use Preah Vihear Name not Prah Vihan as what your IDIOT Government blindly needs it to be. Please tell your government that don't try to get obstackles to Cambodia when they see that Cambodia is being stable in the society and Cambodia's development. Don't fear that Cambodia will get Thai market. We should be happy to see friends working well. Dismiss you uneducated abition against Cambodia then we will be in peace. I know that you all do not need your people injured or died because of the border dispute.

Thank you,

From Cambodian People

THAI PM NEED UNESCO TO REVIEW ON APPROVAL ON PREAH VIHEAR LISTING

On June 18, 2009 , and English Newspaper of Thailand called The Nation reported that Prime Minister Abhisitt Vejjajiva showed the disagreement to the approval of listing Preah Vihear Temple as World Heritage Site. The Cabinet of his government decided to keep the stance of opposition to this approval and assigned on the of the Cabinet Minister to ask the UNESCO for reviewing the approval once again in the 33rd meeting in Spain next week. They need UNESCO to review the approval in the reason that the listing caused Cambodia and Thailand in dispute. Thailand would need to study again on what they are thinking as dispute is not coming from the listing but it's from the ambition of Thailand to grab Cambodia which Thailand reason that it's unclear area that need to be talk later. In this unclear area, no personals from both country are allowed to be in but Thailand deployed to troops to be in this area. That means that Thailand didn't have problem with listing but just only the trick to do that because of their internal dispute. The Internatial Court gave a victory on owning the Temple to Cambodia which means that Cambodia can do anything to care and protect the temple. Why Thailand are lobbying on that? Unesco also approved the request made by Cambodia to list this temple as World Heritage site according to the International Court Decision. With this reason, Thailand should stop any reaction to Cambodia on Preah Vihear Temple. Thailand should enfource the discussion on border to be clear as soon as possible better than keeping enfource to troups to the border side to cause the dispute unsettled. Preah Vihear Temple is belonging to Cambodia through International Court therefore Thailand should dismiss their demands on taking Preah Vihear Name to be in their discussion. It's easy, Cambodia's belonging must be name by Cambodian peopel and government not by Thailand. If Thailand is smart enought and they leaving out their embition and boasting, the things will be better in discussion.

CAMBODIAN GOVERNMENT SUE REAKSMEY KAMPUCHEA

The news reported that the Lawyer of the Royal Government of Cambodia has filed a law suite to the Phnom Penh Court against the most popular and pro-government daily newspaper called Reaksmey Kampuchea. The purposes of the law case were not released but the court source told Deum Ampil News that the case is complicated. As the reason of the law suit has not been released, many of the people are confused to give the different ideas on the case. Some of the thinkers think that the law case against Reaksmey Kampuchea daily newspaper which is the pro government newspaper is don to show and to hide. What to show and what to hide? To show, the government wanted to show that the government is fair to fulfill its duties. Not only the opposition voices are sued but also the pro-government voices are also sued if they have mistake. To hide, the government does not want the national and international factors to see that the government is forbidden all the opposition voice. The government have used the court to close the voice from the opposition and if they don't give any sue to the pro-government voices, the national and international would see that the government is trying to get opposition voice closed.

THAI WORRY OVER UNISCO'S INSPECTION TO PREAH VIHEAR TEMPLE

On Thursday 21st May 2009, on the website of one of the famous Thai English Newspaper called The Nation reported that Thailand's Foreign Minister warned UNESCO's official over the UNESCO's mission to Preah Vihea Temple in April that UNESCO must get the permission from Thailand before entering the land at Preah Vihear Temple as they claimed that it's the dispute area.
The warning to this organization by Thailand is not acceptable for Cambodia. UNESCO came to do the inspection to the temple of Preah Vihear as it's just registered into the World's Heritage list. The job of UNESCO is to ensure that this heritage is well conserved.
Why UNESCO has to ask for permission from Thailand if they are just visit Cambodia? Is Thailand Cambodia's parent?
Thailand react to this is just to cover their bad deed acted during the clash that caused damage to the temple because of their army's shooting. They don't want UNESCO to see the evidence which they think that they will loose face if UNESCO issue a statement commenting that Thailand damaged World Heritages.
