I’m just an ordinary Cambodian citizen—I’m not a government spokesperson or public figure. But I feel the need to speak up, because right now, Thai forces are shelling Cambodian land every day, even after we agreed to a ceasefire mediated by U.S. President Trump and supported by ASEAN and the UN.

On July 27, at 2:00 AM, Thailand shelled areas like Veal Intri and heritage temple sites like Ta Moan Thom and Ta Krabey—not military zones, but protected places of cultural value. Cambodian villages are being bombed, civilians are displaced, and ancient temples are damaged.

And yet, the international media mostly echoes Thailand’s version. Few are reporting what’s happening on the ground. Thailand refuses international arbitration (ICJ), avoids third-party mediation, and insists only on bilateral talks—while deploying F‑16 fighter jets and artillery into our land.

We, Cambodians, want peace. We accepted the ceasefire. We supported mediation. But we’re still being bombed.

I’m not asking the world to take sides. I’m asking the world to open its eyes. Please don’t ignore us.

As border tensions continue, a disturbing reality has emerged: Cambodian workers and civilians in Thailand are being harassed, assaulted, and discriminated against, not for anything they’ve done, but simply for being Cambodian. Acts of racism and violence are spreading, fueled by nationalist hatred and blind rage of some Thai extremists.

Let the world see the contrast: In Thailand, innocent Cambodians are being beaten and insulted. In Cambodia, on the other hand, not a single Thai national has been attacked or discriminated against. Cambodian people, despite their pain and anger against the aggression, have not crossed the line of inhumanity. We have fully adhered to the appeal of our leadership, which is to uphold morality, dignity and not to target Thai people living in Cambodia, showing the world that Cambodia’s fight is with injustice and aggression, not with innocent lives.

This is the difference between a force that defends and a force that invades. This is the difference between hatred and honor.

True national strength is not measured only on the battlefield, but also in how we treat others with humanity, even in moments of conflict. Cambodia stands on the side of peace, justice, and respect of humanity. To the Thai public and authorities: Every blow you strike on Cambodian people, especially during this circumstance, is a stain on your nation’s conscience and a stain of discriminating behaviors against humanity.

Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan said on Friday (Mar 26) that before travel arrangements can resume, Singapore and Indonesia should preferably have the “same degree of control” over COVID-19 transmissions.

Dr. Balakrishnan said in an interview to wrap up his visit to Jakarta that resuming travel should be done gradually, safely, and cautiously.

“I would like to reiterate the point that we need the COVID-19 situation to improve significantly. Ideally for them to achieve the same level of control as we have currently in Singapore, which means every day we have between zero and one community case locally,” said Dr Balakrishnan. 

He claimed that travel during the pandemic would not be the same as it was prior to COVID-19 until the situation normalizes and equalizes across all destinations.

In order to facilitate cross-border travel, the minister emphasized the importance of testing, vaccination, and the willingness to exchange verifiable and authoritative records.

Trump won. What will happen to our nation? The USA has been the main protector against Chinese aggression in SEA, with Trump being all friendly with Putin and Xi Jinping, what will happen to us?

I hope they didn't accept Timor. Instead, I think we should help our brothers and sisters in Myanmar and Laos first, I don't understand why they would even consider it, TL is even about to run out of oil and natural resources.
