Singer Pov Panhapich who was shot by unknown assassins in February, but survived the ordeal, said for the first time, after her more than 2-1/2 months of medical care, that she will persevere to help herself to survive for the future.
The singer made this declaration during a quiet birthday party thrown for her at her hospital bed in Vietnam. On 4 May, she reached the age of 24-year-old.
Pov Chansotheavy, an older sister of Pov Panhapich, told RFA this afternoon that today is her birthday, and that the celebration is attended by her immediate family only.
Pov Chansotheavy also said that lately, her sister is suffering body pain and her body temperature is high due to an attempt made the doctors to connect her nerves which were severed during the shooting.
Nevertheless, Pov Panhapich told RFA’s Sam Borin that she will endure to overcome the pain and she hopes that her life will return to normal again. “In short, since I came here (hospital), from the time I arrived and for the past 2-1/2 months, my body always aches because of severed nerves. The doctors told me that my nerves are trying to heal, therefore, wherever this happens, pain will be felt there also … In my mind, I try to think that I am determined to let the disease evolves on its own, I do not allow the pain to overcome me.”
Pov Panhapich was shot in the middle of Phnom Penh one early morning in February when she got off her car to attend school. Up to now, the Cambodian authority has not found her assassins yet.
