Fellow Cambodians, I can attest to your zeal for Cambodia, but let your zeal be based also in knowledge. READ.

Then, it will be less likely that so gross a mistake, so costly a misunderstanding, so easily the manipulation can be painted of us by others and have that be the controlling narrative.

Walter Lippmann warned about a century ago, in his seminal “Liberty and the News.” “Men who have lost their grip upon the relevant facts of their environment are the inevitable victims of agitation and propaganda. The quack, the charlatan, the jingo . . . can flourish only where the audience is deprived of independent access to information,” he wrote. A nation whose citizens have no knowledge of history is asking to be led by quacks, charlatans, and jingos.

Cast of Characters of Vietnamese Military Occupation:

Cambodian and Vietnamese

Pen Sovan was the first Prime Minister propped up by Vietnam during its military occupation of Cambodia after the Khmer Rouge. In this chapter, he recounted his 5-hour meeting on 27 March 1981 with Le Duc Tho—yes, the same Le Duc Tho who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize with Kissinger, but he turned it down—and one other Vietnamese official, where Le Duc Tho asked him as Prime Minister to broadcast to other officials a list of points, mainly: K5 plan, fake troop withdrawal, annexation of territory, Vietnamese settlers. He did not raise them with the other Cambodian officials.

Vietnam subsequently arrested him and put him in solitary confinement in Hanoi for his resistance against the Vietnamization of Cambodia. He was only freed as part of the Paris Peace Agreement, over a decade later.

Pen Sovan recalled when Hun Sen and Say Phouthang accompanied Vietnamese soldiers to arrest him as 1st Vietnamese-installed Prime Minister at his residence in Phnom Penh, bounded him onto plane for solitary confinement in Hanoi. Vietnam installed Chan Si (or Chan Sy), then its propped-up Defense Minster, as PRK’s 2nd Prime Minister. '

He was later murdered in December 1984 for his refusal to continue implementing the K5 Genocide, the killing off of Cambodian males; according to Pen Sovan, between the ages of 18-48 years.

Vietnam filled the vacant PM position with Foreign Minister Hun Sen in January 1985.

Vietnam also at this time replaced the Hanoi Khmers (ex. Pen Sovan, Chan Si) with the more battle-hardened Khmer Rouge (Hun Sen, Chea Sim) into senior, executive leadership.

Psychologically they were more ready to please and kill compared to those who had been away from the battlefields in the safety of Hanoi since the 1950s. The K5 plan took off with even greater fury.

In December 1981, it was not politically viable to kill Pen Sovan even if sickness was given for his absence from the scene in the shroud of darkness. Also the K5 plan had not been fully off the ground. Chan Si, however, had to die. As Defense Minister, having overseen for 3 years the conscription en masse, he knew intimately the cost to lives, particularly Cambodian men’s, particularly massive deaths’ fury in 1984.
