Few other countries in this planet that are poorer than Cambodia. However, their tombstones are off limit. Robbery, prostitute, and stealing are better methods to survive than disturb the house of the deads. This is the lowest point of Khmers.

Khmer race is much more fragile and predispose easily to pressure. This is only one of many evidences that the Khmers have prevailed so far.

The Khmers can protest and deny and counter argument but they can't erase the facts. Shame and shame.
