.......................Dear Compatriots and Friends,
I would like to take this wonderful opportunity wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy Year.
Within a week, we are stepping into a new year of 2008 with a new promising future that Cambodia people will be free from Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt about their Life, Liberty, and Happiness. These three factors are the fundamental principles of human dignity where all leaders will not deny and suppress them for any reasons. As innocence Cambodians, where we have lived and experienced trough atrocity, grossed human right violations, persecution acts being committed by the past, present, and might be the potential future leader(s) of Cambodia, and there weren’t ones dare to challenge and to stop these gruesome acts including ourselves, and as the result, we have paid more than a conventional price if we were dare to declare war against dictators and communist leaders at all cost. We have spend almost two million lives and unaccountable of perpetual human pain & suffering as well as their personal processions.
Our grandparents, parents, us, and our future generations are going to pay at a greater process if we are not minimizing treats, vulnerabilities and take corrective actions to defense and protect our Motherland, and our beloved people. Cambodia was not found or built by a few of the nominated heroic individuals by committed the treasonable act or by being a great slave to their master(s). In contrast, Cambodia was built by selfless-sacrificing of our ancestors to defense, and protects our Motherland and our people. Our Ancestors had done their selfless duties and sacrifices; it is our turn to do so for the same principle as our ancestors had set a great example by giving endless sacrifice to defense and to protect our nation and our people. We do not want our life, liberty, and happiness as well as our inherited rights will be taken away not from the barbaric neighboring nations but also from self-born-barbarians of Cambodia. Let’s Cambodia and Cambodians be free
from Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt about the Life, Liberty, and pursuit of Happiness.
To live free, we have to oppress the oppressors.
Share the love and wonder of Cambodia and our beloved people,
Khmer Blood
My Khmer Compatriots, ask not what Cambodia and her People can do for you, ask what you can do for Cambodia and her People!
............
Thank you Miss Rachel Rosenfeld.
Khmer leaders (Sihanouk-Hunsen) are selfish, they spend their time to kill and to rob their countrymen who had lost every thing during the KR regime.
Our children and people THANK YOU!
Good job for Rachel. Too bad some fucking stupid asshole Khmer who also live in the US and elsewhere are too stuck up in their own comfortable shits to care about their own people like you. All they do is run their fucking mouths like they have done shit. Let me ask all of you that badmouth the Khmer Gov't. What have you done for your country? NOTHING! Even if some of those people in the Gov't are corrupt, they at least built schools and shit for the rural people. So for comparison, you piece of shit Khmer living abroad have done nothing. Here is a little thing to remember. Look into the mirror and see yourself before you judge others, you self-centered pussies.
Happy new year Rachel Rosenfeld!
Wealthy men, women in Cambodia should follow your example.

I think her building a school and doing something for others is great. Unfortunately, though there are a shortage of qualified teachers in Cambodia. Many schools have been built there in recent years but an equal amount of qualified teachers have not been developed. Before new schools are built I encourage people to fund professional development in Cambodia. The Royal University of Phnom Penh and the University of Washington have a wonderful joint partnership. You can fund a 4 year degree for a student in Cambodia for $2,000. New schools are exciting but I think we really need to focus on elevating the educational standards of teachers who teach in these schools first. There are many schools already built in Cambodia. I would encourage people to see about offering college scholarships so the students in those schools could get a higher education. Many schools in Cambodia too focus on elementary English skills and some remedical computer classes. They are not doing a lot to move the country forward. Programs that teach people to teach, people to lead, people to provide medical care etc are so important there right now. I highly encourage anyone who builds a school in Cambodia to consider thinking beyond a building and build teachers and future leaders too.
