Khmer lands occupied by the CGDK Resistance [Movement] (1979-1990) now [belong to] Thailand [2005-Jun-01] by Norodom Sihanouk          Between 1982 and 1990, I had the honor of being the President of the Khmer tripartite Resistance [movement] (CGDK = Coalition Government of Democratic Kampuchea) – a Resistance [movement] composed of Sihanouk-partisans, Son Sann-partisans, and Khmer Rouge [members]. In our struggle for the liberation of Cambodia from the SRV [Socialist Republic of Vietnam] colonialism, we occupied lands located well within the interior of Cambodia and, most of all, lands belonging to our country but which were directly adjacent to our large neighbor, Thailand, which, at the time, supported our armed struggle against the Vietnamese.

         LOWELL, Mass. and PHNOM PENH, Cambodia, May 26, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Cambodian Ventures Limited (Pink Sheets:CMBV), a junior mining company focused on exploration and mining of precious minerals in Cambodia, today announced the appointment of internationally renowned economic geologist Robert Lynn Moxham as a consulting geologist. CEO Gary Fineberg states: "We are very fortunate to have Lynn Moxham on our team. Lynn is one of few geologists in the last decade that has spent significant time in Cambodia studying its geology. He has surveyed several high potential areas of precious mineralization within the country. In 1992, he wrote a review of the mineral potential of Cambodia for the United Nations. This led to the publication of 'Geology and Mineral Resources of Cambodia'. Lynn has spent a significant amount of time studying the geology of Cambodia and recognizes the significant potential for precious mineralization."
         Lynn Moxham states: "I am very excited to be working with Cambodian Ventures. Based on my work in the area, I feel there is significant potential for the economic exploitation of precious mineralization in Cambodia." Lynn started his career with Geological Survey of Canada and moved on to a number of large Canadian mining and resource companies. In 1970, he joined the Mineral Resources Department of the United Nations and worked on mineral development and resource appraisal projects in Korea, West Africa, Burma, Chile, Argentina, India and Haiti. Later he spent several years at a mining consulting and investment house engaged in exploration and mining. He established his own consulting practice specializing in exploration programs in 1985.
         His practice led him to Southeast Asia where he undertook assignments for private Canadian companies, the Minerals Section of the United Nations, and for the World Bank. These involved work in Indonesia, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Sri Lanka. In 1994 he joined the staff of the Indochina Goldfields Company, a Canadian company located in Singapore and with interests in Southeast Asia. In this capacity he was responsible for gold developments in central Vietnam. He continues to consult with mining companies and mining consulting houses. Lynn has a Ph.D in Geology from the University of Chicago and is licensed as a Professional Engineer and a Professional Geologist in Ontario.

Lycée Sisowath needs computers and Internet access (2005-Mai-26)            Samrang Kchao : Dear Friends of Lycée Sisowath,          We have made much progress since our LSA Reunion in May 2003. Our computer literacy program is off to a good start. Thanks to your generosity we have now 54 computers, one scanner, one laser printer, two video projectors, a technical training lab and equipment and salary for two teachers for a year!          This is the first public high school in Cambodia to have computers and training for their students, things have started so well that UNESCO and the Ministry of Education have chosen Lycée Sisowath as a pilot program center for Math, Physics, and Chemistry learning via computers.          Teachers and some students can actually build their own computers now when they have the necessary parts. We feel no one should be left behind. By planting a good seed early enough we believe the results will flourish. We ask your support for this noble cause. If you donate one computer ($150.00) you will have your name put up on the screen saver and on the computer. What a wonderful way to put your money to work on behalf of needy students who are eager to learn.          To make a pledge, please make check payable to C.A.S.A. and mail to:          Friends of Lycée Sisowath          C/O Cambodian American Senior Association, Inc.          908 Wynnewood Road          Philadelphia, PA  19151          For comments or concerns, please contact one of the following committee members: Kim Iem Siek – Treasurer (215) 686-9230 Samrang Kchao – Coordinator (516) 946-6741 or skchao@optonline.net Chip Tan – Advisor (206) 695-7578 or chiptan@yahoo.com Perom Uch – Advisor (408) 515-5270 or peromu@yahoo.com Lakhana Sar-Advisor (562) 422-2733 or lrs8086@hotmail.com Sokphal Kchao – Advisor skchao@prodigy.net          For more information, please visit: http://www.lyceesisowath.org          My best regards.            Sokphal Kchao : Dear David Gainer, Public Affairs Officer, U.S. Embassy Phnom Penh.            As you are already well aware, Lycee Sisowath has a computer lab donated mainly by its alumni in an attempt to advance computer literacy throughout Cambodia. ( http://pages.prodigy.net/skchao/lsa/fls/gallery.htm ).            At this time, Sisowath High School has computer labs with 69 (*) computers and is in the process of expanding with additional 50 units. The next step Lycee Sisowath Alumni (LSA) would like to take is providing internet access to the computers at the school. It will speed up the learning process that is necessary in order to catch up with neighboring countries and the world population in general.           Based on the tariff from CAMNET, the service for Satellite Broadband 1Mbps/256Kbps will cost the school a monthly fee of $1540, while the 512/128Kbps service is $770. This cost is prohibitive for the LSA. While LSA is funding the hardware and installation, I would like to make an open solicitation for funds in maintaining the internet usage charge.            Any other alternative and constructive ideas are welcomed. I can be reached via e-mail at skchao@prodigy.net 24 hours a day. I am anxious to hear your support. Thanks in advance.            Regards.          David Gainer : Dear Sokphal,          Thank you for the email, and I apology for the delay in my response. Unfortunately our office does not have the funds nor the mission to help with the internet charges for Lycee Sisowath. We do provide free internet access for the public at our Information Resource Center here at the Embassy, as well as at our American Corner at Pannasastra University's South Campus (on Norodom).          I encourage your students to use these resources whenever needed (actually, I can have our head librarian, Mr. Eng Po, present a briefing to your students on the resources at our IRC).          Best regards. _________________ (*) 69 computers : 54 donated by LSA, 15 from Singapore.

La fortune de la famille Hun Sèn (2005-Mai-24) Hun Sèn : Dans la firme Tela Khmer, ta mère a 22% des actions, ta soeur Mana 10%. Ces deux rigolos veulent s'en approprier. Eh bien! Puisqu'ils veulent du pétrole, on les arrose avec et on les brûle vifs! Heng Samrin : Hélas! Je ne parle pas français et anglais aussi bien que lui! Chea Sim : (silencieusement: J'ai résisté et Hok Lundy m'arrêtait et m'emmenait à Bangkok! Le poltron Sihanouk, le roi maudit, a quand même signé le décret nommant A-Khvang premier ministre!) Hun Manith : (tout bas: Quand le Cambodge a du pétrole, il peut ressembler à l'Irak. Donc mon paternel peut ressembler à Saddam Hussein. Mais moi je ne serai pas comme les fils Hussein, car je suis sorti de West Point!)

Mana, Hun Sen's daughter (2005-May-23)
Kampuchea Tela belongs to the Hun Sen family
         Khmerintelligence.org : Cambodia’s largest gas distribution company Kampuchea Tela Limited is controlled by members of Prime Minister Hun Sen’s family. This appears in the company’s “Memorandum and Articles of Association” provided by the Ministry of Commerce. According to the official document, the company’s starting capital as of 28 October 1999 amounts to 1 billion riels ($250,000) and is divided into 1,000 shares with a nominal of 1 million riels ($250). The main shareholders are:
         - Mrs. Bun Sam Heang (Hun Sen’s wife; ID card # 010001098): 220 shares (22% of the capital).
         - Ms. Hun Mana (Hun Sen’s daughter; ID card # 010007778): 100 shares (10 % of the capital).
         - The other shareholders (Chhun Aun, Tep Ngorn, Prak Chamroeun, Nguon Leng) seem to be mainly straw men, as is the case for many CPP-affiliated companies including Canadia Bank.
         As previously explained (KI, 26 November 2004: “IMF-suggested tax reform increases corruption and poverty”), Kampuchea Tela is a tool for the ruling CPP [in general and the Hun Sen family in particular] to levy private taxes on the Cambodian people.
         Development prospects for Hun Sen Inc.
         Besides being the actual major shareholder of Kampuchea Tela and a number of other prominent companies, Mrs. Hun Sen is the President of the Cambodian Red Cross whose most valuable assets in the form of properties have been recently sold off without any transparency (see KI, 3 March 2004: “Lame duck authorities intensify plunder”).
         Besides being a shareholder of Kampuchea Tela, Ms. Hun Mana is the Director of the CPP-affiliated Bayon radio and television network and was the President of the short-lived First Cambodia Airlines, which unsuccessfully tried to make capital out of the Prime Minister’s controversial “Open Sky Policy”. According to today’s Cambodia Daily (“PM’s Daughter Gets Post”), she was appointed this month to the Board of the National Polytechnic Institute of Cambodia because, according to a government official, “Hun Mana’s company has a relationship with companies in South Korea.” (?)
