Mr. Koy Kuong (pictured), yuon spokesman for Cambodian Foreign Ministry, said
the ministry has received orders from Prime Minister Hun Sen to prepare the
documents. He also said that Cambodia will take the border case with Thailand
to both the International Court of Justice in The Hague and to the UN Security
Council.
The spokesman said Cambodia has not lodged the legal complaints with the IJC
yet, but Cambodia had already informed the court of its intention to lodge the
complaints.
"Cambodia has reached the limits of its patience.": HUNSEN
President Reagan’s demand to Vietnam "Mr. Secretary-General, there are new
hopes for Cambodia, a nation whose freedom and independence we seek just as
avidly as we sought the freedom and independence of Afghanistan. We urge the
rapid removal of all Vietnamese troops.."
" As of today,Cambodia is still occupied by the Vietnamese troops despite the
call from the US president to Vietnam to cease her occupation of Cambodia since
1988.
Our study in depth reveals that the "Cambodian" administration , is run by the
Vietnamese invaders in disguised as "Cambodian " with fake Cambodian names & ID
. Such as :
1. Hok Lundy , non elected Vetnamese communist , Head of Security, Prison
administration, Police
2. Ngor Hong Ly
3. Nger Chhai Lieng
4. Cheam Yiep
5. Um Sarit
6. Svay Sitha
7. Mme Men Sam An
8. Heng Poeuv, Lis Rasi, Hang Vuthy
9. Ong Yin tieng etc….
Suggesting that yuon is a racist word incites racial hatred
Indeed, the word yuon is a Cambodian word to refer to Vietnamese (English),
Vietnamien (french), Voatnam (Chinese Chao Zhou), Yieknam (in Vietnamese
language) or Yia Nam (Chinese mandarin). Therefore in each language, each
nationality has their word to call something differently. Your media accusation
to Mr Sam Rainsy is indeed very provocative and inciting of hate rather than
helping to promote cultural diversity.
