Ta mok's coffin do not have to covert by CRG's flag. The coffin must covert by Kampuchea Democratic 's flag. It means Khmer Rouge's flag.

I really regret Ta Mok died before he could face trail. I want him to suffer as much as he did to Cambodian people to suffer. Do you know? They were tortured before they killed them. And under his brutal Khmer Rouge communist regim the bodies thrown into mass graves. And not allowed their family bring their love one home for ceremony. Today his body should cut in pieces and throw into river.
