June 4th marks the 59th Anniversary of Cambodia’s loss territory to Vietnam. The French illegally transferred southern Cambodia (Kampuchea Krom) to north Vietnam. Since 1949 -for fifty nine years - –, many southern Cambodian (Khmer Krom/Kampuchea Krom) have been living in the darkness, suffering, torturing, ethnic cleansing, disease, human right abuse, genocide…under Vietnamese regime. Cambodian were forced to be Vietnamese, speak, dress, and obey their rules.  The communist’s media, billboard signs sending fatherly-like message to Kampuchea Krom that Vietnam is one. Play all tricks and lies by all means and erasing the original Cambodian history books and rewritten in Vietnamese text books that southern Cambodia did not exist and that southern Cambodian (Kampuchea Krom) are the Vietnamese “ethnic minority.” Cambodian land, street, building, signs that were written in Khmer language were torn and replaced in Vietnamese language and mostly in red and yellow colors. June 4th, 1949, Cambodian southern territory was stolen and became “south” Vietnam. North and south Vietnam joined. Dark history for Cambodia.

Today, “Khmer Krom communities around the world are currently heading to their local temples to commemorate the 59th Anniversary of loss of Kampuchea-Krom to Vietnam. The rich fertile land of the Mekong Delta was transferred to Vietnam by France on 4th June 1949 without the consent of the indigenous Khmer Krom people.

Burden with a heavy hearts and great sadness, this day remains a significant event for the Khmer Krom people. Heroes and nationalists as well as Khmer Krom Buddhist monks are remembered for their bravery and sacrifice to help keep the Khmer culture alive despite Vietnam’s numerous and continuous attempts to implement cultural genocide against the Khmer Krom.

In Kampuchea-Krom such an event remains severely prohibited by the communist Vietnam government.”
