Cemetery dwellers.
Cemetery dwellers.
I happen to see this article from KI Media on cemetery dwellers.
http://ki-media.blogspot.ca/2013/01/blog-post_23.html
It came shocking to me but from the pictures I see that there's mainly Khmers living on the Vietnamese tombs. It's in Daerm Sleung on the left side of National Road 1, further on after Chhbar Ampeou market. Is anybody else wants to see that to confirm my worst suspicions. From commentaries it's seen that "it's not a big deal" Yuons are not people anyways. I don't see it as purely racial thing but could be part of it.
My wife told me that all those dwellers are low class drug abusers, alcoholics etc. I don't see how anybody would settle on cemetery though?
I visited 7NG area in my search for the house and found that many unfinished houses there were occupied by illegal settlers. Not a big deal- move in a table, where you sleep, some clothes, you've got a roof and if somebody kicks you out you go stay somewhere else. Why would somebody want to stay at cemetery? There's plenty of unoccupied land in Chhbar Ampeou - you can make a hut on the shore of Mekong, it's better than to stay in this hole.
When we looked for a piece of land there came a fine piece of 30 by 60 near Kampong Chhnang, with a solid cement house, for 8,000 dollars. Everything was nice except of the location, I don't want some obscure outskirts of Kampong Chhnang and the second- proximity of Wat and Chinese cemetery. I personally think it's such a hopeless case to own a property near cemetaries, but to chose to relocate willingly?

Photographer Erika Piñeros did an excellent photo-essay article about this site a couple of years back.

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
Quite impressive photos. I suppose it is OK living there if you have no hang ups about the dead.
When I was young I lived next door to a cemetery and used to play in it. Until I went to see Fantasia (the Disney cartoon film), there is a scene when as the clock strikes 12 midnight all the ghosts come out of the graves of a cementery to haunt, I was not comfortable about living in that house after that!!

Goodbye America, if anyone asks, say we were shipwrecked. Goodbye to your junk and your old hideola. Have a nice day.

They cook among graves, pour dirty water, shit... Where's the limits of humanity? It's OK until what?
My wife found them absolutely disgusting as well, though from poor upbringing, it's totally shocking. It's one thing to live in a hut or shack and the other thing to live in a cemetery. Local Sangkat should have concerned with these people right when they started to squat there.
I've read through the lines to the pictures- impoverished vilage, etc. etc. nowhere is mentioned that graves Vietnamese and the squatters Khmers!!!

I'm terribly sorry to have upset you with the reality that exists around you.
Try reading the inscriptions on the graves then.DMK wrote:I've read through the lines to the pictures- impoverished vilage, etc. etc. nowhere is mentioned that graves Vietnamese and the squatters Khmers!!!

not just live there... set up BARS there...!?“I moved back here with my mother when I was 13,” he says, slurring his words. He’s come from one of the bars located in a seedier area of the cemetery.
nuts.Some of the elaborate mausoleums have been taken over by small businesses, serving snacks and cigarettes to the residents and those attending funerals or visiting loved ones. Others have been fitted with electricity and turned into karaoke parlours, restaurants and even Internet cafes.

I read the inscriptions they contatin Phan Mo, year and date of birth and death and sometimes age and place of birth and of course the name. One grave is Christian too. The photographer tried to create image of poor people staying on the poor people graves. He did not said it was Khmers in one case and Vietnamese in another, and a lot of KI Media readers think it's perfectly OK to live on Vietnamese graves. I bet the squatters think the same- they would probably not stayed on Khmer graves, that's a fallacy in the whole story. It smells of well known racism and xenophobia behind the "slums" and "poor people"- they play cards on money, so effectively they're not poor. Houses there are solid buildings.Lucky Lucan wrote:I'm terribly sorry to have upset you with the reality that exists around you.

Oh, oh I see- that's Yuon who made the graveyard in the humble Khmer village. That's the thing!
I've seen the Manila cemetery, so it must be OK to settle in cemeteries then, especially if they're Vietnamese.What's the point in cemeteries? - throw the dead in Mekong, they flow to Vietnam anyways, legalize the paedofilia, cannibalism, sell of organs, hard drugs .. you name it. Nothing's holy- what's the point to respect the living if taking a shit on the dead.

The inscriptions are in Vietnamese, it's no big surprise that one is Christian either as many Vietnamese are Catholic.DMK wrote:

You give those retards on KI -Media too much credit, this is what they said:a lot of KI Media readers think it's perfectly OK to live on Vietnamese graves.
So, in a nutshell, these imbeciles believe that the PM stole the land to give to Vietnamese for a cemetery. As far as I can work out that cemetery has been around for a long time. There have been Vietnamese living around Chhba Ampoue for centuries.People who stay there worse than animals...hun sen seize, confiscate Khmer land and gave it to the vietnamese to burried their deads, to hun sen vietnamese dead body is more importance then Khmer lives.....The picture told the story of khmer's innocent woman and childrens suffering from Cpp Yuon encroach their land to use as semitary to buried their death and left the living without land to live on.Khmers doesn't needs to respect the death yuons,yuons were no good the only good yuons are death's Yuon.
The more important article was the Erika Piñeros one, I don't know why anyone would want to discuss that utter crap written on KI- Media, it's an embarrassment. In general, Khmers don't have graves anyway, they are crematedHe did not said it was Khmers in one case and Vietnamese in another, and a lot of KI Media readers think it's perfectly OK to live on Vietnamese graves. I bet the squatters think the same- they would probably not stayed on Khmer graves, that's a fallacy in the whole story.
