We prefer English not Vietnamese

I took this picture yesterday from the back from one of covered-motor taxis here in Phnom Penh . The message on the billboard is good. To foreigners who visiting Cambodia wouldn't know what the billboard is about. He/she has to know how to read Khmer.
But wait ! The Vietnamese texts are right undeneath Khmer. This has baffled me as to why the Vietnamese appeared as a second language in my Cambodia. I know there are a lot of illegal Vietnamese come to settle to Cambodia. Maybe the message is geared toward them.
At the bottom of the sign there are serveral insignias (logo) sponsoring this ad. I notice there are 3 NGO's and Cambodia's Minister of Tourism and Minister of Interior.
I would ask our Cambodia lawmakers Minister of Tourism and Minister of Interior to please not using Vietnamese text as the second language. These days English would be like an international language. Most people read English not Vietnamese.
The English translation of the ad would be "WE'RE DEFINITELY AGAINST CHILDREN SEX TRAFFICKING" .
Our lawmakers has no reasons to promote Vietnamese language inside Cambodia.

YES BUT ALL BAD PEOPLE ARE VIETNAMESE SO WE MAKE SURE RTHEY CAN UNDERSTAND IT!
DO MAIR AH SAKER GO BACK TO HELL oh! SORRY GO BACK TO HANOI!!!!
Yes, Vannak, your comment is sound and rich.
Whatever excuse or context, this public banner should not use Vietnamese text. The heads of children sex trafficking are government leaders and foreign pedophiles.
So use English is accurate in this banner.
OK!OK!OK!
The time is ripe.
vietnamisation should started soon!
What can you say all of the CPP leader can not read nor write Khmer or any wester languages, But they all have PHD from Vietname!
Do you dare the make Hun Xen think that the billed bord say " If I know you can not read nor write I would not vote for you!"
the texts in vietnamese that were used in cambodia for billboards advertisment are just a sign of an ongoing vietnamizations planned for the cambodian population. the vietnamese gov't just wanted to make sure that our cambodian gov't understand that. as for me, a cambodian citizen, i refuses to allow vietnamese language and culture invaded my cambodia country.
Vannak Khmera-Both,
You made a headline again.Pls keep up your noble acts. Thanks
The Vietcong are coming with the help of Uncle SAM and there will be a 6 lanes highway will be built that lead directly from Phnom Phen to the Vietcong major cities!
There are currently 85,100,000 Viet populations and this has caused tremendous pressure on domestic issue on the housing, jobs, healthcare, economic, and available land for farming on the Vietcong government and they must find an outlet somewhere before it is getting out of control!
Cambodia has population about 14 million people and that including all the illegal Viet!
Cambodia is committing suicide under AH HUN SEN leadership because Cambodian population are too poor to understand what the hell is going on and if they do they can even fight back!
They Vietcong are coming and they will chase all these Khmer out and make them illegal alien in their country! What happen to the Khmer Krom is not far fetch from reality because the Vietcong government was able to convince AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave that Khmer Krom is illegal alien in Cambodia!
How do you feel to be a second citizen in your very homeland? Like they said the death of a nation will give to a new nation and the new nation may not be friendly either!
I will tell you again and the Vietcong are coming and they will chase the Khmer out!
Probably there are also (the same) BB with Thai, English, Japanese subscripts in PP...
But KI Media will not tell you ...
KI Media is becoming a site for rascists ... and to the Cambodians who still enjoy this kind of messages against the Vietnamese I can only tell you: Wake up, you're living in the 21th century!
Cambodia has bigger problems than a few Vietnamese people in the country (which are friendly people, BTW): land grabbing, a government of kleptocrats, China which steals all the rubber, wood and oil, problems with education...
Does all this xenophobia on KI Media from Khmers which live in the US or France ?
Or does it come from a few politicians: for a politician it's always fine to have someone else to blame (while he's filling up his own pockets)!
3:25AM, Go solve you bigger problems in 21Th centery!Let KI here informe the Khmer who have nothing to do but we cared about our country!
We are belivng KI's information and shirty for it that why we read KI! Some day Khmer Nationalist will speak in one word and one information from KI!!!!!!!!!

Hey, Ah Khmer-Yuons Pimps can't read Khmer or english. They can only read Vietnamese. Get it?
6:31am you! such an idiot. it seems you have plenty times. you must on SSI.
Yeah, I do have some times, but not always, and what is SSI?
What the fuck is the CPP governtment is doing....? are they help protecting Yuon rather then their own Khmer people...and who the fuck read Viet language we need to do a cleanup.
No, the CPP will never protected Ah Khmer-Yuons criminals. If they are found violating Khmer laws, their asses will be deported back to srok yuon faster than they can blink their eyes.
You guys are disgusting with your racism. The impression you give of your country is a vile one. I hope you know that. The message, as translated by the author, is "WE'RE DEFINITELY AGAINST CHILDREN SEX TRAFFICKING". Maybe it is written in Vietnamese so that VIETNAMESE CHILDREN get the message too. But you apparently don't seem to mind the Vietnamese people so much when you're visiting their daughters at the brothel, do you?
I say,...
What the fuck! Why these children are are smiling? Are they enjoying being a sexually abuse or what?
This is the most stupid advertisement that I have ever seen in my life! This is fucken advertisement is telling the world that these children are happy to be a sex slave!
I am glad knowing my child is not in the picture otherwise I will take the mother fucker to court!
Don't be surprise. We are now 80% under Vietnam colony. We help the Vietnam to become the world class and help them to gain more territory by encroaching our land. Who are we I'm talking about? I refer to Hun Sen and Ah Sdech Chkourt, Sihanouk.
Even in the US you can see the vietnamese community try very hard to add their language into every corner of American systems. There're vietnamese language every where in the US, only Khmer people know how to party and talk behind one another or gambling among their families or friends day and night.
To 12:03PM
I agree!
Well, it no nightmare in Cambodia because so far the Viet has done a poor job colonizing us.
The Viet are doing a poor in colonize Cambodia? Well! The Viet can force AH HUN SEN to do anything they want including giving more land to the Vietcong by signing treaties and deport any Cambodian people at will to face the Viet justice system! Ahahhahhahah!
Cambodia doesn’t even have a choice!
The panel must be for foreign tourists so it must be written in English not in Youns words
Why they wrote in Youns in that panel? Are there many youns tourists in Cambodia?
Say No because most of Youns in everywhere are just thieves and prostitutes. That are their traditions.
Yes, but those Yuons are Ah Khmer-Yuons criminals who came from south Vietnam to harm Khmer people.
