http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/0135a5fa-a52f-11e4-bf11-00144feab7de.html Hun Sen, Cambodia’s prime minister and Asia’s longest-ruling leader, is notorious for the political tricks he’s used to survive in office for the past three decades. Now the former Khmer Rouge commander has a striking new weapon — an eccentric prince whom he once overthrew in a coup, but has returned to the fray as an ally for the man who humiliated him.
马德望 Battambang (Khmer: ក្រុងបាត់ដំបង; Batdâmbâng) or Krong Battambang (ក្រុងបាត់ដំបង, Battambang City) is the capital city of Battambang province in northwestern Cambodia.
Founded in the 11th century by the Khmer Empire, Battambang is the leading rice-producing province of the country. For nearly 100 years it was a major commercial hub and provincial capital of Siamese province of Inner Cambodia (1795-1907), though it was always populated by Khmer, with some ethnic Vietnamese, Lao, Thai and Chinese. Battambang remains the hub of Cambodia's northwest, connecting the region with Phnom Penh and Thailand. Battambang was established as an important trading city with around 2,500 residents in the 18th century. The population was centred along a single road parallel to the Sangkae River (Stung Sangkae). In 1795 Siam (modern-day Thailand) annexed much of north western Cambodia including the current provinces of Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Oddar Meanchey, Pailin, and Siem Reap into the province of Inner Cambodia. The Siamese ruled Battambang as a provincial capital through the Thai-speaking Khmer Aphaiwong family, a branch of the Khmer royal family, which governed for six generations until 1907 when the province was ceded to the French to be reunited with Cambodia as part of the French Indochina colony.
- 黑棍神(Kranhiung Stick King)，有关于黑棍神的传说，相传于公元972年，当时的老国王去世，继任者为老国王的儿子。新国王为了火化老国王，下令筏木造亭。被派去伐木的一位工人中，因为吃了用若卡树(Rokar)树枝搅拌的米饭，身体变黑又强壮。他砍下宽宏树（Kranhoung），用树心做成棍子当作武器。从此，人们就叫他为德望宽宏，就是后来的黑棍神。
荔枝山也叫庫倫山(koulen mountain)，因山上長有大量荔枝樹而得名，據說這些荔枝的種子還是元朝使者周達觀撒播於此的。荔枝山自然與人文兼備，除秀麗的山水風光外，荔枝山還是貫穿整個暹粒城的暹粒河發源地，更是吳哥王朝的開端，闍耶跋摩二世於西元 802 年在此宣告王國的成立，用這座聖山來彰顯君權神授，並從此開創了長達 630 年的吳哥王朝。https://www.mr-angkor.com/%E8%8D%94%E6%9E%9D%E5%B1%B1%E5%BA%AB%E5%80%AB%E5%B1%B1-koulen-mountain/
Kep (កែប) also romanized as Kaeb (Khmer: កែប, "Saddle") formally known as Kep Province (ខេត្តកែប) is the smallest province (khaet) of Cambodia. It is one of the newest Cambodian provinces, together with Pailin, Sihanoukville and Tboung Khmum, created by Royal Decree on 22 December 2008, which separated Kep municipality from the province of Kampot, as well as adjusting several provincial borders.[3][4] The provincial capital is Kep District and the province contains the Kep National Park.
- Under French rule Kep belonged to the Circonscription Résidentielle de Kampot, developing into Cambodia's most prestigious beach town. Established as such in 1908 and named Kep-Sur-Mer it was a thriving resort town for the French and Cambodian elite until the early 1970s. Constructed between 1953 and 1970 - after French occupation, Kep's modernist villas are unique. Architects Vann Molyvann and Lu Ban Hap who embodied Cambodia's golden age of architectural modernism, blended elements of the modern movement (Bauhaus, Richard Neutra and Le Corbusier) with traditional Khmer architecture, promoted by King Sihanouk - known as New Khmer Architecture. A major misconception about Kep is that during the Khmer Rouge years, much of Kep's French colonial era mansions and villas were destroyed. In fact, local residents, being in need of money and food, stripped down the villas so that they could exchange all these valuable parts in Vietnam for rice and cash.[citation needed] Many of Kep's villas are abandoned, but some of the town's former splendor is still apparent. The ocean is lined with wide sidewalks and large statues. Prince Norodom Sihanouk not only kept his own villa, but his own island as well. Ile des Ambassadeurs was a favorite spot for Sihanouk to entertain a regular stream of guests.

Steung Treng, officially Stung Treng (Khmer: ស្ទឹងត្រែង, IPA: [stɘŋ traeːŋ] "River of Reeds"; Lao: ຊຽງແຕງ Xiang Taeng; Thai: เชียงแตง Chiang Taeng "City of Melons")
- Stung Treng was first a part of the Khmer Empire, then the Lao kingdom of Lan Xang and later the Lao kingdom of Champassack. After the Franco-Siamese war of 1893, Chiang Taeng (Stung Treng) was administered by French Lower Laos from 1893 to 1904. In 1904 French Laos traded the province to the French Protectorate of Cambodia in exchange for Champassak, leaving a small Laotian minority in Cambodia.Owing to its border location and the forested mountain areas in the northeast of the province, there was much communist guerrilla activity in Stung Treng during Cambodia's recent past. The insurgency lasted from the Vietnamese infiltration in the 1950s until the late Khmer Rouge years.

festival
- Pchum Ben (Khmer: បុណ្យភ្ជុំបិណ្ឌ; "Ancestors' Day") is a 15-day Cambodian religious festival, culminating in celebrations on the 15th day of the tenth month in the Khmer calendar, at the end of the Buddhist lent, Vassa. In 2013, the national holiday fell on 03, 04, 5 October in the Gregorian calendar,[3] the 2015 season began on 23 September and ends on 12 October. The day is a time when many Cambodians pay their respects to deceased relatives of up to 7 generations.[4] Monks chant the suttas in Pali language overnight (continuously, without sleeping) in prelude to the gates of hell opening, an event that is presumed to occur once a year, and is linked to the cosmology of King Yama originating in the Pali Canon. During this period, the gates of hell are opened and ghosts of the dead (preta) are presumed to be especially active. In order to combat this, food-offerings are made to benefit them, some of these ghosts having the opportunity to end their period of purgation, whereas others are imagined to leave hell temporarily, to then return to endure more suffering; without much explanation, relatives who are not in hell (who are in heaven or otherwise reincarnated) are also generally imagined to benefit from the ceremonies. Pchum Ben is considered unique to Cambodia, however, there are merit-transference ceremonies that can be closely compared to it in Sri Lanka (i.e., offering food to the ghosts of the dead), and in its broad outlines, it even resembles the Taiwanese Ghost Festival (i.e., especially in its links to the notion of a calendrical opening of the gates of hell, King Yama, and so on).
People
- 朗诺 Marshal Lon Nol (Khmer: លន់ នល់, also លន់ ណុល; November 13, 1913 – November 17, 1985) was a Cambodian politicianand general who served as Prime Minister twice (1966–67; 1969–71), as well as serving repeatedly as Defense Minister. He led the military coup of 1970 against Prince Norodom Sihanouk and became the self-proclaimed President of the U.S.-backedKhmer Republic, ruling until 1975. He was the founder and leader of the short-lived Social Republican Party, and commander-in-chief of the Khmer National Armed Forces. After the Khmer Rouge took power, Lon Nol fled to the United States, and remained there until his death in 1985.
- Pol Pot (/pɒl pɒt/; Khmer: ប៉ុល ពត; 19 May 1925 – 15 April 1998), born Saloth Sar (Khmer: សាឡុត ស), was a Cambodian revolutionarywho led the Khmer Rouge from 1963 until 1997. From 1963 to 1981, he served as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea. As such, he became the leader of Cambodia on 17 April 1975, when his forces captured Phnom Penh. From 1976 to 1979, he also served as the prime minister of Democratic Kampuchea. He presided over a totalitarian dictatorship, in which his government made urban dwellers move to the countryside to work in collective farms and on forced labour projects. The combined effects of executions, strenuous working conditions, malnutrition and poor medical care caused the deaths of approximately 25 percent of the Cambodian population. In all, an estimated 1 to 3 million people (out of a population of slightly over 8 million) died due to the policies of his four-year premiership. In 1979, after the Cambodian–Vietnamese War, Pol Pot relocated to the jungles of southwest Cambodia, and the Khmer Rouge government collapsed. From 1979 to 1997, he and a remnant of the old Khmer Rouge operated near the border of Cambodia and Thailand, where they clung to power, with nominal United Nations recognition as the rightful government of Cambodia. Pol Pot died in 1998, while under house arrest by the Ta Mok faction of the Khmer Rouge. Since his death, rumours that he committed suicide or was poisoned have persisted.

ethnic group
- Khmer people (Khmer: ខ្មែរ, Khmer pronunciation: [kʰmaːe], Northern Khmer pronunciation: [kʰmɛr]) are a Southeast Asian ethnic group native to Cambodia, accounting for 97.6% of the country's 15.9 million people.[11] They speak the Khmer language, which is part of the larger Austroasiatic language family found throughout eastern and central India and Bangladesh, in other parts of Southeast Asia (including Vietnam), South China and numerous islands in the Indian Ocean. The majority of the Khmer are followers of the Khmer style of Buddhism, a highly syncretic version that blends elements of Theravada Buddhism, Hinduism,animism and veneration of the dead.[12] Significant populations of Khmers reside in adjacent areas of Thailand (Northern Khmer) and the Mekong Delta region of neighboring Vietnam (Khmer Krom), while there are over one million Khmers in the Cambodian diaspora living mainly in France, the United States andAustralia.
- The legendary founders of the kingdom of the Kambuja are the brahmin Kambu Swayambhuva and the Nāga princess Soma or Mera. Their marriage is said to have given rise to the name Khmer. The Khmer people named their kingdom Kambuja after the kshatriya Kambojas of Iron Age India. The Kambuja tribe are believed by modern scholars to have been an Iranian people, but links between the Kambuja tribe and the Kambuja kingdom at this stage of research are still unclear. Cambodia was created when an ancient Indian Brahmin priest married Princess Soma, a Naga princess, upon following an arrow in his dream that pointed in the direction of somewhere in Cambodia. As a dowry, the father of princess Soma drank the oceans, and the land that was revealed underneath became Cambodia, with the descendants of the priest and the princess the people known as the Khmer. This myth explains the phenomena of why the oldest Khmer wats, or temples, were always built on mountaintops, and why today mountains themselves are still revered as holy places

History
- The Mayaguez incident took place between the Democratic Kampuchea and the United States from May 12–15, 1975, less than a month after the Khmer Rouge took control of the capital Phnom Penh ousting the U.S. backed Khmer Republic. It was the last official battle of the Vietnam War. The names of the Americans killed, as well as those of three U.S. Marines who were left behind on the island of Koh Tang after the battle and were subsequently executed by the Khmer Rouge, are the last names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The merchant ship's crew, whose seizure at sea had prompted the U.S. attack, had been released in good health, unknown to the U.S. Marines or the U.S. command of the operation before they attacked. Nevertheless, the Marines boarded and recaptured the ship anchored offshore a Cambodian island, finding it empty.[1] It was the only known engagement between U.S. ground forces and the Khmer Rouge.

- With the country’s National Single Window (NSW) system now up and running, it is expected that traders will benefit from streamlined customs clearance procedures, including the facility to submit import/export documents online, while also being able to pay any required fees or taxes via the same channel. The system can also process export/import licences, as well as permits for the transit/Import of goods for re-export. In another plus, businesses will be required to submit their key information only once, with the data then shared across all relevant government agencies. In line with the government’s commitment to facilitating intra-ASEAN trade, the system is fully integrated with the ASEAN Single Window (ASW) electronic data-sharing system. This will see cargo clearance procedures expedited, while any relevant data and import/export documentation will be accessible by all participating members of the ASEAN bloc.http://economists-pick-research.hktdc.com/business-news/article/Regulatory-Alert-Asia/CAMBODIA-Trade-Portal-Set-to-Streamline-Export-Procedures-and-Curb-Corruption/raasean/en/1/1X34B7KV/1X0AHX45.htm

Undeterred, Mr Tripathi launched an online bus-ticketing service, called CamboTicket, which started trading in 2014. Buying bus tickets by phone promises to be a money spinner in a country where the lack of extensive air and rail networks makes travelling by bus the main method of getting around. CamboTicket has achieved some success, generating up to $20,000 of ticket sales a month, in a little under 18 months. Tourists have largely driven demand and make up more than half of CamboTicket’s sales. For the 20 per cent of customers who do not pay online, Mr Tripathi has had to find creative solutions for collecting payment, such as partnering with a local food delivery company in Phnom Penh to pick up cash from customers’ homes.

festival
- Pchum Ben (Khmer: បុណ្យភ្ជុំបិណ្ឌ; "Ancestors' Day") is a 15-day Cambodian religious festival, culminating in celebrations on the 15th day of the tenth month in the Khmer calendar, at the end of the Buddhist lent, Vassa. In 2013, the national holiday fell on 03, 04, 5 October in the Gregorian calendar,[3] the 2015 season began on 23 September and ends on 12 October. The day is a time when many Cambodians pay their respects to deceased relatives of up to 7 generations.[4] Monks chant the suttas in Pali language overnight (continuously, without sleeping) in prelude to the gates of hell opening, an event that is presumed to occur once a year, and is linked to the cosmology of King Yama originating in the Pali Canon. During this period, the gates of hell are opened and ghosts of the dead (preta) are presumed to be especially active. In order to combat this, food-offerings are made to benefit them, some of these ghosts having the opportunity to end their period of purgation, whereas others are imagined to leave hell temporarily, to then return to endure more suffering; without much explanation, relatives who are not in hell (who are in heaven or otherwise reincarnated) are also generally imagined to benefit from the ceremonies. Pchum Ben is considered unique to Cambodia, however, there are merit-transference ceremonies that can be closely compared to it in Sri Lanka (i.e., offering food to the ghosts of the dead), and in its broad outlines, it even resembles the Taiwanese Ghost Festival (i.e., especially in its links to the notion of a calendrical opening of the gates of hell, King Yama, and so on).
People
- 朗诺 Marshal Lon Nol (Khmer: លន់ នល់, also លន់ ណុល; November 13, 1913 – November 17, 1985) was a Cambodian politicianand general who served as Prime Minister twice (1966–67; 1969–71), as well as serving repeatedly as Defense Minister. He led the military coup of 1970 against Prince Norodom Sihanouk and became the self-proclaimed President of the U.S.-backedKhmer Republic, ruling until 1975. He was the founder and leader of the short-lived Social Republican Party, and commander-in-chief of the Khmer National Armed Forces. After the Khmer Rouge took power, Lon Nol fled to the United States, and remained there until his death in 1985.
- Nol was born in Prey Veng Province on November 13, 1913, to a family of mixed Khmer-Chinese descent.[3] His father Lon Hin was the son of a Khmer Krom from Tay Ninh Province[4] who later served as a district chief in Siem Reap and Kampong Thom, after making a name for himself 'pacifying' bandit groups in Prey Veng.[5] His maternal grandfather was a Chinese immigrant from Fujian province[6] who later became the governor of Prey Veng.[4] Nol was educated in the relatively privileged surroundings of the Lycée Chasseloup-Laubat in Saigon, followed by the Cambodian Royal Military Academy.Nol found employment with the French colonial civil service in 1937. He became a magistrate, and soon proved himself as an efficient enforcer of French rule against a series of anti-colonial disturbances in 1939.[5] By 1946, he had risen to the post of Governor of Kratie Province. He became an associate of King Norodom Sihanouk, and by the late 1940s, when he set up a right-wing, monarchist, pro-independence political group, was becoming increasingly involved in the developing Cambodian political scene. Joining the army in 1952, he carried out military operations against the Viet Minh.
- Pol Pot (/pɒl pɒt/; Khmer: ប៉ុល ពត; 19 May 1925 – 15 April 1998), born Saloth Sar (Khmer: សាឡុត ស), was a Cambodian revolutionarywho led the Khmer Rouge from 1963 until 1997. From 1963 to 1981, he served as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea. As such, he became the leader of Cambodia on 17 April 1975, when his forces captured Phnom Penh. From 1976 to 1979, he also served as the prime minister of Democratic Kampuchea. He presided over a totalitarian dictatorship, in which his government made urban dwellers move to the countryside to work in collective farms and on forced labour projects. The combined effects of executions, strenuous working conditions, malnutrition and poor medical care caused the deaths of approximately 25 percent of the Cambodian population. In all, an estimated 1 to 3 million people (out of a population of slightly over 8 million) died due to the policies of his four-year premiership. In 1979, after the Cambodian–Vietnamese War, Pol Pot relocated to the jungles of southwest Cambodia, and the Khmer Rouge government collapsed. From 1979 to 1997, he and a remnant of the old Khmer Rouge operated near the border of Cambodia and Thailand, where they clung to power, with nominal United Nations recognition as the rightful government of Cambodia. Pol Pot died in 1998, while under house arrest by the Ta Mok faction of the Khmer Rouge. Since his death, rumours that he committed suicide or was poisoned have persisted.

- http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/inside-hun-familys-business-empire Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen’s family has amassed a “vast fortune”, with stakes in at least 114 domestic companies spanning most of the Kingdom’s key sectors, including major energy, telecoms, mining and trading firms, according to an investigation by Global Witness, which accuses the Hun family of flouting the country’s laws to build a business “empire”. Released today, the report, Hostile Takeover: The Corporate Empire of Cambodia’s Ruling Family, details the vast holdings of the Hun family across 18 sectors, finding that 27 relatives of the premier are linked to companies whose official share capital value is more than $200 million. The data, collected from the Ministry of Commerce’s own business registry, does not provide information on revenues or profits, meaning the figures represent just a fraction of the companies’ worth. Further, the report – and sources spoken to by the Post – stress the paper trail is just “the tip of the iceberg”, stating the family is believed to use proxies to hide the true size of its business empire and its members’ personal fortunes. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/07/stranglehold-hun-sen-rules-cambodia-and-his-family-own-it-says-report
ethnic group
- Khmer people (Khmer: ខ្មែរ, Khmer pronunciation: [kʰmaːe], Northern Khmer pronunciation: [kʰmɛr]) are a Southeast Asian ethnic group native to Cambodia, accounting for 97.6% of the country's 15.9 million people.[11] They speak the Khmer language, which is part of the larger Austroasiatic language family found throughout eastern and central India and Bangladesh, in other parts of Southeast Asia (including Vietnam), South China and numerous islands in the Indian Ocean. The majority of the Khmer are followers of the Khmer style of Buddhism, a highly syncretic version that blends elements of Theravada Buddhism, Hinduism,animism and veneration of the dead.[12] Significant populations of Khmers reside in adjacent areas of Thailand (Northern Khmer) and the Mekong Delta region of neighboring Vietnam (Khmer Krom), while there are over one million Khmers in the Cambodian diaspora living mainly in France, the United States andAustralia.
- The legendary founders of the kingdom of the Kambuja are the brahmin Kambu Swayambhuva and the Nāga princess Soma or Mera. Their marriage is said to have given rise to the name Khmer. The Khmer people named their kingdom Kambuja after the kshatriya Kambojas of Iron Age India. The Kambuja tribe are believed by modern scholars to have been an Iranian people, but links between the Kambuja tribe and the Kambuja kingdom at this stage of research are still unclear. Cambodia was created when an ancient Indian Brahmin priest married Princess Soma, a Naga princess, upon following an arrow in his dream that pointed in the direction of somewhere in Cambodia. As a dowry, the father of princess Soma drank the oceans, and the land that was revealed underneath became Cambodia, with the descendants of the priest and the princess the people known as the Khmer. This myth explains the phenomena of why the oldest Khmer wats, or temples, were always built on mountaintops, and why today mountains themselves are still revered as holy places

- Sinn Sisamouth (Khmer: ស៊ីន ស៊ីសាមុត [sɨn siːsaːmut]; 23 August 1932 – 18 June 1976) was a famous and highly prolific Cambodian singer-songwriter from the 1950s to the 1970s. Widely considered the "King of Khmer music," Sin Sisamouth, along with Ros Sereysothea, Pan Ron, Mao Sareth and other Khmer artists, was part of a thrivingpop music scene in Phnom Penh that blended elements of Khmer traditional music with the sounds of rhythm and blues and rock and roll to make a Westernizedsound akin to psychedelic or garage rock. Sisamouth died during the Khmer Rouge regime under circumstances that are unclear.

- https://www.quora.com/What-word-has-the-weirdest-etymology Vietnamese and Khmer do have a normal sort of reduplication. In Vietnamese, “gentle” is nhẹ, but “very gentle” is nhẹ nhẹ; Khmer reduplicates words so often that its alphabet has a special character, ៗ, to indicate that the previous word was reduplicated. Those kinds of reduplication are normal and expected and obey all the rules that reduplication does in other languages. But there’s another kind of reduplication they use: an odd sort between reduplication and compounding. In this sort of reduplication, first, you take a word; then you repeat it; and now it has some meaning that is an extension of the meaning of that base word. Except, about that base word and the repeated word - they’re not the same word. That is, if you have the Khmer word kee, “heritage”, and want to reduplicate it, you don’t say kee-kee, you say kee-mɔrdɔk, where mɔrdɔk also means “heritage”. A similar compounded/reduplicated word is cah-tum, “elder”, where cah is reduplicated with tum, both meaning “old”. Or in Vietnamese, to reduplicate dơ, “dirty”, you add bẩn, with the same meaning, for dơ bẩn, “filthy”. “Sin” is tội lỗi, a reduplication of tội, where tội is “offense” and lỗi is “fault” - near-synonyms, but synonyms nonetheless.
History
- The Mayaguez incident took place between the Democratic Kampuchea and the United States from May 12–15, 1975, less than a month after the Khmer Rouge took control of the capital Phnom Penh ousting the U.S. backed Khmer Republic. It was the last official battle of the Vietnam War. The names of the Americans killed, as well as those of three U.S. Marines who were left behind on the island of Koh Tang after the battle and were subsequently executed by the Khmer Rouge, are the last names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The merchant ship's crew, whose seizure at sea had prompted the U.S. attack, had been released in good health, unknown to the U.S. Marines or the U.S. command of the operation before they attacked. Nevertheless, the Marines boarded and recaptured the ship anchored offshore a Cambodian island, finding it empty.[1] It was the only known engagement between U.S. ground forces and the Khmer Rouge.

- http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/278m-lon-nol-era-debt-still-hangs-over-cambodia Lon Nol's coup d'etat against then-Prince Norodom Sihanouk in March 1970 triggered nearly 30 years of war in the country. While some assert the coup was backed by the CIA, there is no clear evidence of that claim. However almost as soon as he took over, Lon Nol needed US help to survive. Government soldiers lost ground to communist troops, Phnom Penh became flooded with refugees, and the country lost most of its ability to grow food. Lon Nol became so unpopular he was forced to rig a national election to beat liberal politician In
Tam. The economy and war effort became entirely reliant on American aid. By the time Phnom Penh fell to the Khmer Rouge in 1975, the US had poured $1.9 billion into propping up the Lon Nol government. Although Nixon once called aid to Cambodia "the best foreign policy investment the United States has made in my lifetime", much of it was squandered.
- http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/03/anger-cambodia-50-year-debt-repaid-170313052712914.html A recurring demand by the United States that Cambodia repay $500m in "war debt" has prompted fury in the Southeast Asian nation. The loan started out as $274m in the 1970s, which the US says was used for food supplies, but Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has called it "dirty money" and said it was used to buy weapons. Sen said the US had no right to demand repayment of a debt that was "blood-stained" from US bombing of Cambodian territory during the Vietnam war.Sen called on US President Donald Trump to cancel the debt late last year, but Washington ignored pleas to cancel the decades-old arrangement.Between 1972 and 1974, the US Department of Agriculture financed $274m in purchases of US cotton, rice and flour by the US-backed Khmer Republic, then an ally in the war to stem the spread of communism in Southeast Asia. During that time, the US dropped more than 500,000 tonnes of explosives on Cambodia's countryside.

Gunnar Bergstrom, then 24 years old and a communist, was one of the many Swedes who protested the Vietnam war in the 1970s – an era in which he became increasingly disillusioned with Soviet communism. Turning his attention to Cambodia, which he viewed as having been liberated from the capitalist Americans, Bergstrom created a students’ friendship association with the aim of helping the Khmer Rouge to spread its ideals.Bergstrom’s 1978 visit to Cambodia was the result of two years of persistent negotiations for his association to gain access into the country, and took place three years after the Khmer Rouge came to power. Bergstrom travelled there with three other members: Swedish author Jan Myrdal and two activists Marita Wikander and Hedvig Ekerwald. Myrdal, now 91, is a controversial figure who is widely known for his denial of Cambodia’s genocide. “We told [the Khmer Rouge] that we had an association and an office in Paris. They had a small office in Berlin and a large embassy in China. When we asked them if we could report on Cambodia, we were welcome,” says Bergstrom. During the group’s two-week visit, they were shown a positive facade of Cambodian life after the revolution, where people worked in well-run hospitals and factories. They were even granted a dinner with Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot.

- Cambodia has reopened the final stretch of a railway running from the capital Phnom Penh to the border with neighbouring Thailand, the first time the line has been operational in 45 years.The Asian Development Bank provided US$13 million in 2009 to rebuild the missing link which aims to slash travel time between the two countries and boost trade. Cambodian transport minister Sun Chanthol said a train ran Wednesday morning from the northwestern province of Pursat to Phnom Penh, the last remaining section of the track between the two countries to be finished.Cambodia and Thailand still have to hash out an agreement on trains crossing the border but Sun Chanthol said the two countries hoped to strike a deal soon.Much of Cambodia’s railways – built by the French during their colonial occupation – were damaged by years of bitter conflict that engulfed the country during the cold war era. A 48-kilometre portion of the railway near the border town of Poipet was destroyed by war in 1973. The rest of link to Phnom Penh had been suspended for more than a decade due to the poor condition of the track.https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/southeast-asia/article/2153859/cambodia-restores-rail-link-thailand-border-after-45-years

The majority of Cambodia’s garment factories, which account for more than three quarters of total exports, are owned and managed by Chinese from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. China is the biggest investor in Cambodia, adding nearly US$5.3 billion to the economy between 2013 and 2017. Officials hope that annual bilateral trade between the two countries will reach US$10 billion in 2023.In all, with Chinese investors, traders, service entrepreneurs, factory managers, tourists, diplomats, teachers, journalists and subcontractors flocking to Cambodia, China’s influence over economic and political affairs in the small Southeast Asian country is undisputed.Since the demise of the Khmer Rouge regime in 1979, Cambodian Teochew developed their own regional connections – to China but especially also to fellow Teochew in Thailand and Singapore – and forged a tight-knit local network of traders and shopkeepers that now controls a wide range of sectors.For tycoons operating within Phnom Penh’s elite, China is an export destination for Cambodian timber and cash crops, and “new” Chinese investments provide business opportunities in the form of construction contracts and joint ventures in real-estate development, industrial parks or the energy sector. Successful collaborations between local tycoons and “new” Chinese investors reveal a basic arrangement: the Chinese bring in investment and technical expertise, while the Cambodian partner provides the land, which foreigners are not allowed to own, and political “backing”. It is this arrangement that facilitates the establishment of production facilities and tourism ventures, and that has fuelled Phnom Penh’s luxury real-estate boom over the last decade.Thus the tycoons bridge regional Chinese business networks and Phnom Penh’s highly politicised business sphere, while pocketing large sums of money in the process (no small part of which allegedly flows back to their political patrons). Although investors from China give preference to dealing with local ethnic Chinese, again, the role of shared Chinese identity must not be overstated. Business deals between Cambodian Chinese tycoons and “new” Chinese investors typically spring from Cambodian People’s Party patronage – a number of tycoons have joined Hun Sen on his visits to China – more than shared ethnic background. Many tycoons cannot speak Chinese fluently, have no established network in China, and self-identify as Khmer. Besides, “new” Chinese investments often bypass the “old” Chinese. Infrastructural projects, including the construction of bridges, roads and hydropower dams, tend to be wholly financed and executed by Chinese state-owned enterprises, and over 40 Chinese firms currently hold so-called Economic Land Concessions – large land areas that they lease directly from the Cambodian state for periods of up to 99 years to develop resorts or plantations.All in all, business exchanges among “old” and “new” Chinese often rely on family connections (among SMEs) or Cambodian People’s Party matchmaking (among the tycoons), more than shared Chinese ethnicity per se, and many local firms – big and small – neither benefit nor suffer from the “new” Chinese presence. That said, the impacts of “new” Chinese investments, businesses and migration on Cambodian society are vast. It can be argued that although “new” Chinese involvement does not fundamentally alter Cambodia’s politico-economic order, in two ways it has further perpetuated this order.

It added that China would consult with relevant agencies to provide tariff preferences up to 97 percent of total tariff lines under the Duty-Free, Quota-Free Scheme as soon as possible. Besides, China would consider increasing export quotas for Cambodia's rice to 200,000 tons in 2017 and encourage more Chinese enterprises to invest in Cambodia in the fields of food processing, light manufacturing, and agro-industry. Also, China would coordinate with relevant agencies to continue the negotiations of the protocol on the exportation of broken rice, banana, mango, longan, cashew nut, pepper, coffee bean and soybean from Cambodia to China, the statement said.

Hun Sen’s comments came a day after Spanish activist Alex Gonzalez-Davidson, who had campaigned against the dam, was deported for overstaying his visa. “From now until 2018, there will be no permission to build [the dam],” said Hun Sen, whose mandate as prime minister ends in 2018. “Now I beg you to stop talking about it.” Gonzalez-Davidson was a co-founder of non-governmental group called Mother Nature, which has vocally opposed construction of the hydropower dam in southwestern Cambodia’s Koh Kong province.

The report, posted this month on the website of the U.S.-based organization that conducted the study, said the Sambor dam would "generate large power benefits to Cambodia, but at the probable cost of the destruction of the Mekong fishery, and the certain enmity of Vietnam." It said the dam designed by China Southern Power Grid Co. would have a 620 square kilometer (239 square mile) reservoir and dwarf the biggest dam currently being built on the Mekong, the Xayaburi dam in Laos, which was bitterly opposed by environmentalists for years.

Cambodia has long drawn tourists to sights ranging from the Khmer Rouge killing fields to the magnificent temples of Angkor. Now the country is looking to a new market: Chinese gamblers who are deserting Macau, the region’s traditional casino hub. Now Naga, which started off as a riverboat casino on the Mekong in Phnom Penh in the mid-1990s, is pushing to capitalise on what it describes as the “huge opportunities” created by Macau’s woes. The company plans to increase its existing 1,700 hotel rooms built or under construction to 4,000, and is also using two aircraft to fly in Chinese tourists — one of many such “junkets” organised by ambitious gaming operators to tempt punters. But the company ran into a hitch late last year when a project to expand its flagship NagaWorld complex into the grounds of a neighbouring Buddhist library triggered protests by monks. Naga describes the incident as “rather unfortunate,” and says it has shelved the plan, but some of the monks involved remain concerned. “We do not believe this thing can stop forever,” says Venerable Thong Narith, a demonstration leader. “If things go negative and they keep going with their plan, we will protest again.” Naga has also faced scepticism about its perceived closeness over two decades to the long-ruling Cambodian People’s party government, which awarded it a 70-year casino licence and a 41-year monopoly on gaming within a 200km radius of Phnom Penh. Critics says the cosiness is symbolised by NagaWorld’s prime position next to the country’s parliament — and by what the company describes as an emergency exit gate that links its premises to the foreign ministry. In 2001, Chen Kip Keong, Naga’s chief executive and controlling shareholder, became an economic adviser to Hun Sen, Cambodia’s prime minister of 30 years. Naga’s Mr Lee retorts that the company secured its Cambodian permits in 1995 in an “absolutely above board” process overseen by the UN, which had mounted a peacekeeping operation in the country in 1992-93 to prevent a return to the devastating conflict of the Khmer Rouge years. “Over the years we have grown and are very much part of nation building,” Mr Lee says, citing the company’s contribution to tourism and employment in one of the region’s poorest states. “We are part of the economic fabric of the country.” But even as Naga doubles down in its home market, a hint of the wider competition to come lies in the faraway battle it is waging with a rival consortium to tap the Chinese market with new developments in the Russian city of Vladivostok. Other analysts highlight perhaps an even greater threat just across Cambodia’s frontier, as still more countries seek to tap the Asian gaming bonanza. “Vietnam could allow Vietnamese to gamble,” say analysts at Morgan Stanley, referring to proposals floated in Hanoi to allow tens of millions of Vietnamese people to bet legally at home. “This could have a negative structural impact on NagaCorp’s mass market.” - https://www.ft.com/content/79faf14a-15f5-11e8-9376-4a6390addb44 Casinos including the Oriental Pearl and the New Macau line the streets of Sihanoukville, a Cambodian port and resort town. This city of fewer than 100,000 people will soon boast 30 casinos, with 10 built last year alone, according to local officials. But with Cambodians prohibited from gambling, the complexes primarily serve Chinese tourists and often employ Chinese staff, angering locals in a poor country where jobs are scarce. An estimated 120,000 Chinese visited Sihanoukville last year, double the number of 2016. Sihanoukville’s casino boom is one of the most vivid consequences of the forthright embrace of China by Hun Sen, the prime minister. Beijing backs the authoritarian leader politically and has extended loans for the construction of dams and roads, even as his crackdown on the opposition, media and civil society groups has been condemned by the EU and the US. The Chinese tourist influx has boosted the city’s property prices and spawned a growing number of high-rise buildings but it has also brought problems.

Although the premier did not visit the market, the representatives vowed to return today. “The prime minister is unaware of our dispute with the company,” the petition noted, before accusing the company and local authorities of failing to adhere to Hun Sen’s “tiger skin” policy of allowing communities already living within economic land concessions (ELCs) to retain their land. Rui Feng, along with four sister firms, holds more than 40,000 hectares of ELCs in Preah Vihear and has faced resistance from local communities for years. Ang Cheatlom, executive director of Ponlok Khmer, said his NGO had been supporting the families in trying to obtain communal land titles but had so far been rebuffed by local officials.

- 第一亚洲商人金银业有限公司（第一金）便相中这块“处女地”，选择在柬埔寨“开荒”，与当地高校合作，从知识普及和人才培养开始逐步打开市场，并以此为中心辐射东盟国家的销售网络。该公司董事总经理鞠禄龙透露，考虑组合旗下业务上市，正在谘询相关事宜。第一金的前身是福而伟金号，1991年创立于香港，作为金银业贸易场认可的黄金炼铸商和电子交易商，专营人民币公斤条黄金、99金、国际黄金及白银现货等交易，通过与代理商合作建立分销网络，在亚太区提供金银买卖服务。鞠禄龙介绍，第一金70%的合作伙伴为内地代理商，目前达到2万家，其馀30%则来自台湾、东南亚等国家和地区。他特别提到，公司于柬埔寨的业务近两年增长迅速，还于2016年5月拿到了柬埔寨证监会发出的首张正式牌照。柬埔寨仅有1600万人口，但与之毗邻的越南、泰国、老挝都是第一金相中的潜在市场，鞠禄龙希望以柬埔寨为中心，将公司的销售网络辐射向东盟国家。http://paper.takungpao.com/resfile/PDF/20170731/PDF/a17_screen.pdf
- An iconic Phnom Penh housing site known as the White Building is being turned into a multibillion-dollar casino development, as woos by catering to their penchant for gambling. Hong Kong-listed developer NagaCorp, controlled by billionaire Chen Lip Keong, estimates it will spend US$3.8-US$4 billion on the Naga3 project, its third casino in the country, which will have hotels, condominium facilities and a 12-floor entertainment centre and outlet mall. NagaCorp’s deputy chairman Philip Lee told local media on Tuesday: “Naga3 is the single biggest private sector investment so far in the country and may be for years to come. It is about the same size as Marina Bay Sands in ... which is the most expensive entertainment complex in the world.”https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/economics/article/3005434/chinese-tourists-win-poor-cambodians-lose-us4-billion-hong-kong

- 負責處理柬傭來港事宜的機構表明，受當地六月選舉及宣傳不足影響，當地的柬傭招聘不但受阻延，反應更不似預期，至今僅得不足廿人正接受培訓，因此首批來港的柬傭數目將會大減至只有十多人，並要延至最快十月才有望抵港。http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/news/20170815/00176_054.html

- 施家殷廿幾年前曾去柬埔寨觀光，但佢自言當時政局啱啱平定，玩嘅時候仍然唔太放心，因為街上隨處見到持槍軍人，又會驚有地雷未清除好，所以都無諗過柬埔寨復甦速度咁快。佢認為柬埔寨局勢已安穩同太平，所以近年陸續有唔少投資者喺當地大興土木，再加上當地有賭業，佢就睇好柬埔寨嘅商業同娛樂事業，而現時已有地產考察團赴柬埔寨添！幾日前由柬埔寨返港嘅柬埔寨中國文化友好協會創會主席陳昭昭，都認同現時係投資柬埔寨嘅低位，而當地嘅慈善事業亦都只係剛起步喎。但講開地產發展，佢就話多數投資集中喺金邊，因為暹粒嘅建築物有高度限制

- 對浸大政治及國際關係學系助理教 授陳秀琼及其家族來說，戰爭是 難以消磨的烙印。她的祖父母輩早年因 逃避戰火從內地移居柬埔寨，以為能安 穩地過新生活，但到她出生幾個月柬埔 寨戰爭爆發，父親更被奪去性命，剩下 孤兒寡婦於戰地走難逃生。 陳秀琼以難民身份在法國長大，由不 諳法文的母親獨力照顧她和弟弟，並同 時打兩份工維持家計。雖然生活艱難， 但陳媽媽卻沒有喪失對生活的希望，更 堅持孩子要有良好教育。陳秀琼說，當 時難民區的學校校風較差，女同學被強 姦的案例亦時有發生，母親為能讓她在 好的環境中學習，在十分拮据的情況 下，依然讓她讀私立學校。http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2019/03/06/a25-0306.pdf
