Besides being a Khmer Rouge puppet with some technical skills at the time but with very little consideration for the people he took photographs of, Mr Nhem En is also a fairly greedy person charging 500$ for an interview with journalists these days, trying to cash in on photographs he took after '79 and playing a political role in Anlong Veng. His lack of humility will not serve his quality as a witness.
