Top Cambodian female singer shot

Phnom Penh - One of Cambodia's top female singers was in a critical condition Friday after being shot twice at close range while on her way to college, police said.

Pov Panhapich, aged in her mid-20s, was shot at close range on a central city street before 7 a.m. (0000 GMT) in front of the Ministry of Mines and Energy building as she prepared to enter the English school she was enrolled at, deputy chief of Daun Penh penal police, Ros Sinna.

'We don't know what happened yet. We have no motive and we are still investigating,' Sinna said by telephone. He said she appeared to have been shot in the throat and hip.

The beautiful singer and sometime-actress is famous for contemporary hits such as 'Joeung Klang' (Strong Feet) and is one of the country's top 10 recording artists.

A number of Cambodian singers and actresses have been shot or attacked with acid in recent years. Most of these attacks have been blamed on either jealousy or politics. Police Friday said it was too early to speculate in Panhapich's case but the pop star was not believed to be active in politics.

Panhapich was rushed to Calmette Hospital but was expected to be moved to a hospital in Vietnam later Friday for further treatment.

I am not surprised at all that
the bitch got shot. Just look at
her picture. Is she from srok Khmer
or from Hell? Is she here to
promote evil or something? This
type of cult must be stopped at
all cost, or We'll all go to hell
with her. Furthermore, I won't be
surprise either if she's one
of Khmer Krom troublemakers.

What a stupid, heartless comment ever!Don't you have any feeling at all?

She was shot in broad day light. She is human like you and she was shot like animal. Can't you just show any simpathy toward another human being? Or are you just another cheap animal?

Regarding her fashion,what's wrong with the style she's wearing? Remember she's an artist. Plus it's her freedom to do so.

Do you think you're a true practioner and follower of Khmer Culture? Aren't you at the moment wearing clothes and shoes designed by westerners?

You think you're always conformed to Khmer culture and tradition. Do you go out half naked with just a piece of cloth wrapping around your genital like the " real Khmer" depicted on Angkor temple?

Do you go out bare feet like those ancient Khmer people?

What a narrow-minded individual you are.

Only a gangster or murderer would attach very little value to a human life. Artists like to express themselves in different ways, just look at international rock stars such as Iron Maiden, Rolling Stones, etc. Nobody tries to kill them, instead they have fans all over the world.

Critising the way she looked can only come from people with little education and understanding of the world around them. Pity, we still have many of such shit heads in our country that are still consuming and wasting our valuable resources. Such people have no conscience, they are just demons (praet) in human form.

May she rest in peace.

Our patriots are die one by one and wounded one by one almost everyday. The actresses or the singers have 2 choices: will you become the lover of the top official up on the request of him? if "yes" you will die by his wife but if "no" you will die by him.

To all Khmers,

Please do not leave harsh comments for the victims or attack our own khmer brothers and sisters, whether verbally or physically. We cambodians are taught since we were born to be gentle, to be respectful of others from all walks of life, whether they are prostitutes or millionaires or officials, they are all humans, and more than that, we are all KHMERS. Why don't we try to see the gentleness inside our khmer people instead of becoming savages and violent people like everyone is in Cambodia nowadays. I feel that there is a need for change in our country, our culture, WE NEED CHANGE!! Where is our calmness, our ability to reason, to love our brothers and sisters, to respect each other. Please, I makes me die inside to see our own Khmers fighting over the internet, let alone shooting each other, or swearing at each other. Please pay respect to the victim, feel sympathy for her as a Khmer and as a human being. We must not judge, because we do not know the true story, we must not judge her occupation or her mistakes, because there are all reasons. End this madness, enough assults on each other. We should be throwing our energy towards developing our country, so that we as a nation become a main player on planet earth, and not just a third world country puppet like how our government is right now. I will not throw blame on anyone, but instead I beg for change for our country. WE NEED CHANGE!! and WE NEED IT NOW!!

Khmer Patriot.
