Kep Chuktema, the Phnom Penh city governor, reminded the Chinese-Cambodian and the Vietnamese-Cambodian population in Phnom Penh that, during the Chinese-Vietnamese New Year, if they drink or they are drunk, they shouldn’t drive in order to avoid traffic accidents to themselves and to others. During a speech given in an inauguration in Chomchao commune, Dangkao district, in the suburb of Phnom Penh, on 06 February, the date coinciding with the offerings to the ancestors and also a day of eating and drinking, Kep Chuktema said that some people would come up with a theory whereby, when they are drunk, they should drive even faster so they can become sober faster, but in fact, these people ended up hitting concrete fences, or even the Monument of Independence, and they even blamed their accidents on the builders instead. He reminded the population not to despise their life, or other people’s lives as a joke, because the law is not lenient in these cases.

I salute the Rat(during this new " Year of the Rat"), and fuck the commie pompous prick.

It is a shameful commie culture during this new year that the commie has intentionally poisoned the Japanese by embedded the comtaminated in their dumplings to murder our friend Japanese.

During this new year, I say "Fuck the commie."
