LONG BEACH - Community members on both sides of a controversial decision to invite the deputy prime minister of Cambodia to participate in the annual Cambodian New Year parade will meet today to discuss their differences.
About 30 members of the Cambodian community attended Tuesday's City Council meeting. They presented the council with a petition comprising more than 1,000 signatures opposing a plan to have Cambodian leader Sok An ride in the April 6 parade.
There has been considerable confusion about who issued the invitation and whether it was properly made.
Mayor Bob Foster said at Tuesday's meeting that he never invited anyone to the parade - period.
Although the city provides support for the parade in certain areas, the City Council has no official role in the decisions the parade committee makes.
"It's not our parade," said 6th District Councilman Dee Andrews, in whose district most of the parade is held.
Vice Mayor Bonnie Lowenthal said she was distressed at the emotions the dispute has dredged up.
"People expressed outright fear and trauma," Lowenthal said, adding that the city must do what it can to assuage that.
Melissa Morgan, the city's human dignity officer and Rene Castro from the California Conference of Equality and Justice, will moderate the meeting between parade organizers, who support Sok An's participation, and opponents.
Morgan and Castro said their roles are to facilitate dialogue but it is up to two factions to resolve differences.
"I'd like to see them just listen to each other and find out where we go from here," Morgan said. "They may not come to an agreement but I just hope they hear each other."
"What I hope to achieve by bringing the parties together is the increased understanding," Castro said. "There are no easy solutions."
There is a possibility that the point will be moot. There is considerable speculation that Sok An has decided to forgo the parade.
Parade organizer Richer San said Sok An has not confirmed that he will attend but that the invitation remains.
At Tuesday's City Council meeting, a half-dozen opponents of Sok An's participation spoke to the council.
They cited Cambodia's dismal human rights record, corruption and other problems among their complaints.
Opponents also said the invitation violated the parade's own entry rules, which say entrants must be noncontroversial and should not advocate a political candidate.
Each side has met with CCEJ separately.

That socheata working for this Ki media?
She is small, cute!
That is good for Sok Ann to have said "he has not yet confirmed to participate the parade".
But it is fool for Richard San to mention that "the invitation is still remained".
How significant point that "the invitation is still remained" when:
1. The invitation has been falsified by using the name of the city councilor who knew nothing about it.
2. The rule of the parade is not involved with any political agenda or political elites.
These two points might be able to lighten blind-Richan San and his group I think. If he want to be good and keep face well in the public, he should halt his intention to invite Sok Ann.

All the gorillas are fugly!
Whinning and whinning!
LOSERS!
You may be right, 3:29 because she does look like Mee Khmer-Yuon Jkout (Socheata).
There go another idiot (3:41) who sentence people to dead without first listen to what they have to say first.
Oh well, what can I do? That is the way they do thing on Planet of the Ape.
I surmise nothing much you'll derive from the planet of the ape site(KI).
These son-of-bitches use the government subsidy to further their useless cause,yet incessantly complaining and whinning.
Yup! There are plenty of jkout gorillas are living in the ghetto planet of the ape.
4.35 PM,
Do u have mother to educate you? Why your words are full of immorality?
Take care and learn to be polite.
c.
Gorilla are so stupid. They think we don't know what they are doing. The truth is they are afraid of the CPP getting popularity over the SRP. So they tried to block us from it. However, when you do that, you can no longer calling yourselves democratic advocate because you block people from choosing what they want and violating their freedom of choice.
Any argument?
No, sir!
You won the argument. I call it "Impregnable argument." I'm certain these fucking retarded bastard gorillas call it "pregnable argument."
Fucking losers!
Sok An said he hasn't accepted the invitation because he wanted to wait and see if the majority of the people are against him coming or not. Also he wanted to see what the majority of the councilmen and women think about his invitation. whether they support it or against it. That's why it is important that the opponent of his invitation try to get as many as signatures as they can and get as many people to attend the meeting this Friday. People should individually write their letters of protest to the mayor as well.
Sok An is a controversial figure and by the statute of the Cambodia Town charter he should not be invited in the first place. Those people who invited him are hoping to reap benefit from their friendship with Sok An who was the most corrupt and was rumoured to be the second richest man in Cambodia. The first richest person in Cambodia is Hun Sen. If the invitation is not withdrawn, people should just boycot the parade or hold a big rally against Sok An's presence.
Nope, the true is the gorilla afraid of the CPP stealing all supporters from the SRP, and they know we can, and we will too. That is why they try to block Sok An. However, what they are doing is undemocratic because they block people from choosing what they want.
I'm going on a hunger strike!
Yup! You heard me loud and clear "I'm going on a hunger strike," becasue Mr. Son An's presence in Long Bitch.
What are bunch of fucking pathetic gorillas.
The Cambodia Town charter states that no politician or controversial person should be invited to the parade. That's what exactly should happen. Sok An should not be invited 'coz he is a politician and a controversial personality.
Nope that means US politician. Sok An is khmer politician.
No more excuses, we all know your chicken gorilla, "Puk, puk, puk, puuuuk, puuuuk...puuuuk".
BTW, no charter, ordinance, or decree should violate any democracy principle. I bet you probably also violated a bunch of constitutional articles.
There are plenty of anger across the globe, some want and some don't. Some are happy but when they hear this name M. Ly Diep (Ly Ngoc Dinh) they back off. They said he is Youn. Why can't we Khmer Youth organize our own organization at oversea like our brothers and sisters inside Cambodia?
We should learn how to lead not to follow anyone. We can do it. Lets us change for a better.
5:59 PM
When come to this site, there's no morality.
You idiot.
only you, 9:48 PM, the idiot here.
shut up and go get medication, fool.
3:41 PM
a law suit from the yajor's office against these fools, Richoet San and his group, is the most probable way to go.
these fools won't get away from Sok An-Hun Sen's trap, however.
Khiev Sampahn, Ing Sary, and the rest of FUNCINPEC's officials who jointed CPP, they all end up having their names never known.
ATTENTION! ATTENTION!
MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION. THERE HAS BEEN ONE GORILLA, WHICH HAD ESCAPED FROM THE ZOO (PREY SAR). THIS ONE GORILLA HAS BEEN POKING AROUND AND TERRORISING THE VILLAGERS.

Dear KI-MEDIA STAFFS:
I congratulate the site for being popular. However, I'm very concern with the public comments. Lately, there has been a lot of SPAM by the same individuals. The language is very distasteful. I understand you want to be impartial but there is a difference between being fair and allowing a few people to raid your site with indecent comments. I strongly recommend that you take action or you will lose a lot of readers.

No self-censorship here! In democracy the good come with the bad! But the good will always prevail over the bad no matter what!
I am proud of the new generation. They are so daring to shut this old fool or ex communist guy out. I am really giving you the applaud!
Good going. We need you to lead the country in the future.
12:37 AM
Don't worry, dude, this site is funded by the U.S. government (with my tax money) thus comes with freedom of expression. Therefore, we think you just been paranoid and delusional. It is quite disappointingly sad that you unable to handle your frustration and anger, but ask someone to assist you instead. This is a sad day for you!
With respect to opposing responses and comments in this site are not spam, you dumbass. Perhaps you do not know what spam (s) is or are, because you're stupid!
In the past and present, you and the rest of your clowns called us voluminous names, yet you're audaciously appealing to the site adminstrator to prevent us from accessing the sit. In case you don't understand how the site operation work, just remember that if responses and comments are threatened to the national security,the FBI geek squad or equivalent law enforcement authorities will subpoena the site. However, we understand how to play the game, and we consider this as "Fair game." What are you afraid of? We think you're just being fucking paranoid and stupid!
Moreover, we can easily launch our responses and comments with multiple computers, which beyond anyone to trace and track our IP addresses.
You're fucking pathetic retarded gorilla shit who is like complaining and whining, when you faced and unable to handle the inevitability.
And I say to you: "Go and fuck yourself!"
My beloved Khmers!
I think therefore I undoubtedly believe that more of our beloved Cambodian people are increasingly eagerto be free, but unfortunately naive about what freedom is literally meant, because they are repeatedly cheated, tricked, and defrauded by Youn, CPP, and Hun Sen. More importance, the acknowledge of freedom is like a raging river, endlessly tumbling down the mountainside, and eventually freedom will flood the whole Cambodia nation. Then, God bless Cambodia!!
Here you are Messir Sok An !! Your monies cannot buy your honour in Khmer communities around world. You smell like rotten rat who which have eaten rooten foods. You have shamed your family, your children and all your friends for all you have done in Cambodia. I can smell your rotten flesh as well. That means that when you earn monies from illegal and immoral, your name is in shit.
Oh Zip ta bouche, gorilla.
We know what you are doing? And you can't hide the truth. One way or another, the truth will get to all people, and you will condemned by the community for deceiving them.
So if you are smart, stop fighting the truth, just pack up and leave town now.
Go to HELL ah kwack and his followers....A bunch of crook ,paranoias ,scum bag ,lunatic ,retarded ,bastard ,sucker of Cambodian people blood ......
May the lighting strikes ah kwack forehead at the stroke of noon time .
Shame on you Richer San!
Shame on you Sithea San!
Shame on you Peter Long!
Para-Chey Hun Sen!
Para-chey Sox-Anh!
Why should those people be shame, 9:50, what did they do?
If you all are against Xok An visiting, just turn your back against him when he parades by. Can we all Khmers get along? Seem like we alway fighting. No wonder the next door neighbors Siem and Youn are growing and expanding their territory and we keep struggling to keep what we have.
and the truth has already come out after the today's meeting. IT'S THE FINGER POINTING TIME! PETER LONG DENIED, THE SAN'S DID NOT WANT TO SAY ANYTHING, AND THE STAFF FROM SOK AN ADMIN SAID THE CAMBODIAN COMMUNITY CONGRESS REPRESENTATIVES HAD INVITED THEM.
KMORCH HAD INVITED SOK AN TO THE PARADE?
THE PEOPLE HAD ALREADY HAVE THEIR ROTTEN EGGS READY!
Yeah and Kmorch got the Cambodian Town for Khmer People.

8:53 AM and the rest of the gorillas:
Please tell us if this guy 8:53 AM and the rest) deserve to be kicked out of this site because of using unacceptable language?
Perhaps, the aforementioned gorilla and the rest of the gorillas who have used similar language in this site to freely express their freedom of speech and expression, tell us if they deserve to be kicked out of this site?
Again, our argument is impregnable and cogent, which led you to negating the truth, becasue you unable to hand the truth, yet decided to make above face lambasting and accusing us; in addition, you have audaciously challenge us to abnegate our intellectual compacity aiming to hamspring our freedom of expression. I call this "losers" among your gorilla clowns.
Further, we know the rules ... again, we call this "Fair game."
You go, mate (10:01)!
To 10:01PM
Fuck you Vietcong bitch! You dare to talk about "using unacceptable language"? Fuck you! What about you? Using the word "gorilla" and isn't that unacceptable language?
You fucken low land gorilla and your specie is dying out from poacher!
I don't see anything wrong with calling Ah Khmer-Yuon Gorilla. They are smelly and stinky just like Gorilla, and they have the same IQ as gorilla. If the shoe fit, wear it.
4:22 PM
Hey, fucker! Fuck you and fuck the rest of your gorilla families and friends and yours. Now, go fuck yourself!
We're certainly do not condone such language; however, if you and the rest of your clowns elected to behave like uncivilized dogs, this is how we, from here on out, treat the retarded gorilla bastards.
You're such a fuckhead gorilla!
To 11:55PM
Fuck you and you low land Vietcong gorillas! The poachers are coming after all of your fucken family!
11:55PM
Your fucking Youn's slave, you yourself using unacceptable language before anybody else. You're loser son of a bitch, you don't know what success means.
Fuck you all Youn's Slaves.
Recently, my wife and I reserved a penhouse, and I think I'm qualified to call this "sucess."
Living in the ghetto neighborhood and defrauding the U.S. government to qualify for government subsidy, we're not very certain if this qualify as "success." We'll let you make a call on this.
12:10 AM, 11:55PM & the rest:
The truth of the matter is you do not have any knowledge abouth what constitute "Fair game," however, you continue to incessantly complaining and whinning about the situation in which you unable to control.
How much knowledge do you have? wow!! In case of fire I'll break the glass.
You know shitt. keep bragging losers. If you are that smart, you aren't a refugee. ger it barstard?
Stay out of my country, and if you come, we'll send you to Prey Sar.
To 5:01AM
Bullshit it is a penthouse and it is a henhouse that you are talking about!
By the way do you have the statistic to back up what you have claimed about defrauding US government?
All of you fucken Vietcong slave transplant as Khmer people are a sore loser! You like to brag about your Vietcong motherland too much!
Go mate 9:48 AM. He brags and he licks ah Yiek Cong Ly Ngoc Dinh Ly Diep every times he barkes.
Pourk ah preit said thank you to ah Yiek Cong Ly diep and we say "Death to ah Ly Diep and pourk derachhan".
Listen up, gorilla fuckers. Khmer people doesn't want no loser to make any decision for them, you got that?
And Maggot Feeders from the Vietnam Shit Pit are not what we called Winners. Can't you tell the difference, stupid?
Yes, you live in a pen house that is under the Youn's control. Let me tell you,loser, now Youn is YOUR Landlord, this is why I called you a LOSER. Definitely, I now can compare that living in Ghetto is far more better than being a YOUN's slave. You think that I want to go back to live the country where my ass is about to get chewed up by Your Landlord, YOUN, your Youn's slave.
12:37 PM
You are stupid!!!!! Vietnamese that you called YOUN came to rescue you from being slaughered by Pol Pot. And they continue to help Cambodia training soldiers and adminstrator. You are so dumb to evaluate the whole case sceneroes. If Vietnamese did not rescue on time, you may become a fertilizer already. So stop whinding and barking, you stupid..and Sok An is our good leader in that, now.
With all due respect, the truth of the matter is that the gorillas need to know the fact that if it had not been for the Vietnamese troops, the ungrateful gorillas will not have the opportunity and privilege to bark. That said, you (gorillas) are quite fortunate that Cambodia is under Samdach Hun Sen's leadership, if it is under my leadership, you won't have that rights or privileges to bark freely. Remember that, and remember it well!
Mate, you got my vote 100% when you run for office!
12:37 PM
God damn it! Listen up! At least we're live in the real world, we call it "reality and truth" for real countrymen(you cannot deny that)! Yes, we'll have a very good sleep in our new place, thank you!
God damn it, gorillas!
There are no shortage of ah jkuot and mea jkuot among the retarded gorillas.
