Pov Panhapich, a young and popular actress in Cambodia, told RFA recently that she is still afraid and scared from the incident in which unknown assassins shot her in Phnom Penh at the end of February 2007.
Pov Panhapich said that she does not dare return back to Cambodia right now.
The actress gave her interview from her hiding in a neighboring country of Cambodia. She claimed that she cannot return to the place where people tried to kill her.
She stressed that the reason for this is because she would be killed, should she return back to Cambodia. “I love very much my country, my home. Unfortunately for me, I want to go back, but I do not dare to. I want to ask everyone: if some people want to kill you once, and you don’t die, will these assassins come and try to kill you a second time or not? This is the place where I had my accident, the place where I lost my future, the place where I was injured and became crippled like this, can I return back to that place? I think that if they shot me once, and I didn’t die, but if I go back, I will surely die. I am very scared and very apprehensive. This time, I was lucky, the angels gave me back my life and prevented me from dying, and (they gave me the strength) to struggle. If I go back, I will surely die,” Pov Panhapich said.

" Pov Panhapech: If I return back, I will surely die"
Not if you married to one of our 4 stars generals.
My heart goes out for you Pov Panhapechou. No one should ever gone through what you are going through. It is sad that Cambodia allow this kind of activity to happen and no one is punished for it.
From one to another. From Piset Pilika to Touch Sunnich to Pov Panjapech and to more. This is what our leaders do especially, the power men, rich men. Where is the justice for the innocents? We have to change the leaders and change the government if not your turn will come someday.
Yeah right, let us change to LonNol II and get 2 more millions into new mass graves.

Lon Nol is in the past.
If your damn current regime is best, take to assasin to justice NOW. If not let the diarhear shit be sprayed on your mother fucker's face. Can you smell it?
True, but Cambodia has a short repetitive history. Isn't that so?
