Friday, 19 August 2011 May Titthara The Phnom Penh Post More than 100 protesters were detained and questioned by police for passing out leaflets after the demonstration. The villagers had dressed up as a symbolic gesture to show the importance of Prey Lang. More than 100 villagers from four provinces were detained and questioned by Phnom Penh officials yesterday morning after they tried to distribute flyers urging the government to protect Prey Lang forest. Some protestors say they were threatened with arrest and accused of degrading the city's environment during their bid to preserve the largest lowland forest in Southeast Asia. The nearly 3,600 -square-kilometre area spreads across six districts in four provinces: Kampong Thom, Kratie, Preah Vihear and Stung Treng. Communities living around it, primarily Kuy indigenous people, say it is sacred and have warned that it is under threat from illegal logging and economic land concessions. At 7:00am yesterday, 120 or so villagers had gathered at Preah Ong shrine opposite the Royal Palace for what the Cambodia Centre for Human Rights had said in a press release the night before would be a "Long Prayer for Prey Lang". After about an hour of prayer, the protestors – many of whom donned hats made of leaves in imitation of the threatened civilization in the blockbuster film Avatar – broke into groups of 10 and travelled to 10 intersections in the city to hand out the flyers. At some intersections, commune police prevented them from handing out a single one and more than 100 were detained, according to a joint statement from three rights groups: CCHR, Licadho, and Community Legal Education Centre. The three groups said they "condemn [the] mass detention of peaceful activists in Phnom Penh, in which police detained … villagers for distributing flyers". Detained villager Young Chin, 26, from Kampong Thom province, said police at Chaktomuk commune office accused those detained of "not asking permission from City Hall and damaging the city's environment." He and the others detained at that office were told to sign forms saying they would not protest again and were also warned that if they did they would be arrested, he said. Venerable Loun Savath, a monk who frequently blesses communities involved in land disputes and accompanies them on peaceful protests, said that police had accused him and the villagers of polluting the city by creating rubbish. While rights group claimed "police said the demonstrators were stopped because they had not given notice to the authorities prior to the distribution [of flyers], and that the distribution could 'disrupt social order'. Phnom Penh Municipal Police Chief Touch Naruth insisted that no municipal officers had detained villagers for handing out leaflets. Municipal police had been sent to provide security for the group prayer in opposite the palace, he said, adding that it was commune-level officers who detained the villagers. Tonle Bassac commune chief Khat Narith said that he was just following orders from the district governor who had told him to question the villagers. Chamkarmon district police chief Ouch Sokhon said he did not order his officers to do anything and referred questions to district governor Lo Yuy who could not be reached for comment. All the protestors were released yesterday.  | ||||
| Chinese in party visit [to communist CPP and Hun-see-ktech] Posted: 19 Aug 2011 04:37 PM PDT Friday, 19 August 2011 Vong Sokheng The Phnom Penh Post A CHINESE delegation including one of China's top leaders will arrive in the capital today to discuss economics and national development with Cambodian People's Party and Funcinpec Party members. Zhou Yongkang, a member of China's Politburo Standing Committee, will help "enhance cooperation between the Communist Party of China and parties in Cambodia", said Chinese Embassy Yang Tianyue. Funcinpec President Keo Puth Rasmey said the visit of about 50 senior Chinese leaders would last August 20-23. "We will discuss the partys' political issues, economic and national development issues, as well as share experience and strengthen our relationship," Keo Puth Rasmey said.  | ||||
| Posted: 19 Aug 2011 04:34 PM PDT Friday, 19 August 2011 Vincent MacIsaac and Cheang Sokha The Phnom Penh Post International NGO Bridges Across Borders and umbrella group NGO Forum met yesterday morning with officials at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who accused both of making "false" and "unfair" claims to the Asian Development Bank about the death of two children relocated by a railway rehabilitation project. The meeting follows the suspension early this month of NGO Sahmakum Teang Tnaut for allegedly "inciting" villagers to protest against the railway project, and prompted a statement from the ADB yesterday supporting both groups and expressing concern about the level of scrutiny they are under. Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Koy Kuong told the Post yesterday that the government was concerned about an October 21 report to the ADB linking the death of two children to the railway project, which is funded by the bank. It was signed by Bridges Across Borders, STT and umbrella groups NGO Forum and Housing Rights Taskforce. The groups had pointed to the two children who drowned at a relocation site in Battambang as an example of inadequate facilities for those forced to move to make way for the restored railway. The NGOs also brought the two cases to the attention of media in Cambodia and Australia. "Our investigation contradicted the report from the NGOs. The railroad project and the drowning of the two children are completely different matters, but the NGOs linked them to the project when there was no link at all," Koy Kuong said. "We advised them to improve their work performance in order to further strengthen cooperation between the government and civil society," he said, adding that the meeting yesterday was chaired by Secretary of State Ouch Borith. Neither Bridges Across Borders nor STT responded to requests for comment yesterday. Staff at NGO Forum confirmed they had attended the meeting but declined to comment further. Sia Phearum, secretariat director of the Housing Rights Task Force, which includes Bridges Across Borders as a member, confirmed that ministry officials had raised the issue at yesterday's meeting. "This government does not like NGOs," Sia Phearum said, adding that the government did not want NGOs involved in development projects linked to businesses because this would require enhanced transparency. "If we were a real democracy they would thank [NGOs] for our work, but in this country it is different," he said. The ADB, which has approved US$84 million in loans for the railway project, was quick to react to the meeting saying it viewed "recent developments with the utmost seriousness". The project, which will rehabilitate rail lines connecting Kampot to Sihanoukville and Phnom Penh to Battambang, is set to be completed by 2013. A joint venture between the Australian company Toll Holdings and Cambodian conglomerate Royal Group has a 30-year contract to build and run the railway network.  | ||||

| Gaddafi family members to be evacuated from Tunisia on board Venezuelan plane: media Posted: 19 Aug 2011 07:50 AM PDT TUNIS, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) -- A Venezuelan plane has landed on the island of Djerba to evacuate members of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's family, Tunisian radio, Mosaique FM, reported on Friday. The news was announced by the radio's correspondent on the Tunisia- Libyan border. The correspondent, quoting a rebel source in Libya's eastern city of Benghazi, said that Gaddafi's family members would soon leave Tunisia for the Venezuelan capital Caracas, adding that "it was the beginning of the end of Gaddafi's rule." It is not clear how they would be evacuated to Tunisia. The source also said that it was highly likely that Gaddafi himself is no longer in the Libyan capital Tripoli, following overnight NATO strikes against his residential compound.  | ||||

| Seeking help to identify Highway 6A bridge in Cambodia Posted: 19 Aug 2011 04:51 AM PDT I am an American who visited Cambodia in 2008, and went to the Holocaust museum and the Killing Fields, which has helped me understand to a much greater extent the horrors the Cambodian people have been through. I currently am helping a Cambodian finish his story, primarily as the designer of the cover. He was marched out of Phnom Penh across the Highway 6A bridge along with his family. 1st, Does that Bridge have a name? I am wondering if you could help me with some information and maybe some photographs. 2nd, Is it the same bridge that I saw in 2008, or was there an older bridge there in the 70's? 3rd, Do any photographs exist of people being marched across that bridge during the Khmer Rouge Regime? I have not been able to find any on the internet... and I would certainly understand if they don't even exist. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Sheryl -- howaito2@gmail.com | ||||
| Sale of Khmer wealth by Hun Xen and his gang - By Spean Tep Posted: 19 Aug 2011 01:38 AM PDT    | ||||
| Posted: 19 Aug 2011 01:26 AM PDT Synopsis: A mendicant monk faced arrest by security guards working for the Shukaku Inc. which belongs to Lao Meng Khin, a crony of Hun Xen, and by the Daun Penh authority. The unfortunate monk was begging alms when he entered Boeung Kak Lake by coincidence. At that time, several hundreds of villagers were commemorating the death of a police officer who committed suicide after losing his land to forced eviction. The villagers then asked the monk to bless and chant for the soul of the deceased police officer when security force for the Shukaku Inc. called the Daun Penh authority to take care of the monk. The monk was warned for his usual Buddhist action. Villagers said that the warning issued to a practicing monk is tantamount to a return to the Khmer Rouge regime all over again.   | ||||

| [Thailand] Controversial policies may do long-term damage Posted: 19 Aug 2011 01:03 AM PDT August 19, 2011 By Thanong Khanthong The Nation The Pheu Thai government has introduced several controversial economic policies. Let me go through them one by one. 1. Most people don't notice that an offshore oil deal is on the cards. Fugitive ex-prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen are now trying to strike an offshore oil deal. The defence minister, the foreign minister and the energy minister have got a mandate to work with Cambodia on offshore oil operations in the Gulf of Thailand. The change of government from Democrat to Pheu Thai has facilitated this business deal. Chevron, the US oil company, is waiting in the wings for this project. This oil production will take place in the overlapping maritime area as a joint operation between Thailand, Cambodia and the United States. However, offshore oil drilling is now very risky, given the frequent occurence earthquakes and natural disasters. Shell is now trying to control an oil spill in the North Sea. BP created a huge oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico a year ago. A court in Ecuador earlier this year fined Chevron US$8 billion for polluting the Amazon region. The oil giants have bad records in offshore drilling when it comes to safety and care for the environment. Any monetary compensation cannot write off the massive damage being done to the environment. If a huge oil spill were to happen in the Gulf of Thailand, it would spell doom for Pattaya, Hua Hin and other resort areas along our coast. Thailand's tourism industry would basically come to a grinding halt. 2. The government plans to implement a minimum wage of Bt300 a day. I don't think this is feasible. For the private sector - not the government - is doing the hiring of workers. The smaller and weaker companies simply won't be able to hire at this rate. They will have to fold their businesses. The government is acting more like a player in the economy rather than a facilitator. 3. The government plans to reduce the corporate income tax rate from 30 per cent to 23 per cent. Given the budget deficit and spending obligations in the future, the government should rather raise the tax instead of cutting it. We can collect tax at only 16 per cent of the gross domestic product. 4. The government will introduce a rice pledging scheme in which white rice is guaranteed at Bt15,000 per tonne and jasmine rice at Bt20,000 per tonne. This scheme involves a massive budget, and similar schemes in the past have been subject to corruption and abuse. The rice price guarantee scheme initiated by the previous government is a better method. The government will pay only the margin of difference from the guaranteed price. If farmers can sell rice at higher price, the government will not have to pay anything. 5. The government will implement a minimum Bt15,000 salary for college graduates. Again, fixing salaries is not the job of the government. On the other hand, the government should be trying to trim its workforce, rather than hiring new staff, to reduce the budget and tackle the problem of a bloated bureaucracy. 6. The Finance Ministry would like the Bank of Thailand to expand the band of its inflation targeting, now set at 0.50 per cent to 3 per cent. It would like the central bank to keep the interest rate at this low level in view of the economic turmoil in the US, Europe and Japan. But the Bank of Thailand is now trying to normalise the interest rate, which now yields a negative return when inflation is taken into account. High inflation will also undermine the competitiveness of the country in the long term. Rather than introducing economic programmes that might have negative consequences, the government should focus on productive investment spending to help increase our competitive strength in the future. We need investment in alternative energies, water resources and an upgrade of our agricultural methods. These areas are the future of Thailand - not social spending for short-term political gain.  | ||||
| Prak Sokhonn should sent his boss, Hun Xen, with the dead Viet invaders back to Hanoi! Posted: 19 Aug 2011 12:28 AM PDT Bomb clearing aids nations' friendship August, 19 2011 VNS (Hanoi) HA NOI — The Viet Nam People's Army and the Royal Cambodian Army have strengthened their friendship and co-operation in clearing bombs, mines and explosives in the past years. Lieut. Gen. Nguyen Thanh Cung, Deputy Minister of National Defence, made the statement while receiving Prak Sokhonn, Minister to Prime Minister Hun Sen and Vice President of the Cambodian Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority, in Ha Noi yesterday. According to the Deputy Minister, the US dropped more than 15 million tonnes of bombs and mines in Viet Nam during the war, of which about 800,000 tonnes are still unexploded. Viet Nam needed US$10 billion to clear all the unexploded bombs and mines, he said. Cung said that the country is conducting a survey and mapping project on bomb and mine-infested areas nationwide. It is expected to be completed in 2014, as well as various building strategies, policies and programmes to attract international support for surmounting the consequences of unexploded bombs and mines. On the occasion, he thanked the Cambodian Government and people for their assistance in searching for and repatriating the remains of Vietnamese soldiers and experts who laid down their lives during the war in Cambodia. For his part, Minister Prak Sokhonn highlighted Cambodia 's bomb and mine clearance efforts and international co-operation on this issue. He affirmed that the Cambodian government and people will continue helping Viet Nam search for and repatriate the remains of Vietnamese soldiers. Earlier that same day, the Cambodian minister was welcomed by Vietnamese Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh, who affirmed that Viet Nam, as a country suffering serious consequences of bombs and mines left from war, always supports and takes action in line with the humanitarian spirit of the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention. Viet Nam is making efforts to address bomb and mine consequences and seeking more support from the international community for these efforts. Minister Prak Sokhonn shared information about Cambodian's efforts in clearing bombs and mines and supporting victims of anti-personnel mines. He invited Viet Nam to attend the 11th Meeting of the Member States of the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention, to be held in Cambodia from November 28 to December 2.  | ||||

The two-way trade between the two neighbors was 1.35 billion U. S. dollars in the first half of this year, 57 percent rise, compared to the same period last year, according to the figure from the Trade Office at the Embassy of Vietnam to Cambodia. On the investment side, accumulative Vietnamese investments in Cambodia have reached nearly 2 billion U.S. dollars in the fields of telecommunication, aviation, banking and finance, mineral resources, and rubber plantations.  | ||||
