BEST WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR TO ALL PEOPLE KHMERRR!!!
Goo morning and a Happy New Year to everyone! I wish everyone good health, happiness, and prosperity in life from this day on.
From me Nhiekkiri
Hey, KI; I guess the words "Bor Pith"
are supposed to be used to adress the one who is higher in rank or more supperior than yourselves, right?
Just because our Country, Cambodia is small DOES NOT mean it's not important. Here is Factoid from Rainforest-Alliance. "The Disappearing Rainforests.
"We are losing Earth's greatest biological treasures just as we are beginning to appreciate their true value. Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface; now they cover a mere 6% and experts estimate that the last remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years.
One and one-half acres of rainforest are lost every second with tragic consequences for both developing and industrial countries.
Rainforests are being destroyed because the value of rainforest land is perceived as only the value of its timber by short-sighted governments, multi-national logging companies, and land owners.
Nearly half of the world's species of plants, animals and microorganisms will be destroyed or severely threatened over the next quarter century due to rainforest deforestation.
Experts estimates that we are losing 137 plant, animal and insect species every single day due to rainforest deforestation. That equates to 50,000 species a year. As the rainforest species disappear, so do many possible cures for life-threatening diseases. Currently, 121 prescription drugs sold worldwide come from plant-derived sources. While 25% of Western pharmaceuticals are derived from rainforest ingredients, less that 1% of these tropical trees and plants have been tested by scientists.
Most rainforests are cleared by chainsaws, bulldozers and fires for its timber value and then are followed by farming and ranching operations, even by world giants like Mitsubishi Corporation, Georgia Pacific, Texaco and Unocal.
There were an estimated ten million Indians living in the Amazonian Rainforest five centuries ago. Today there are less than 200,000.
In Brazil alone, European colonists have destroyed more than 90 indigenous tribes since the 1900's. With them have gone centuries of accumulated knowledge of the medicinal value of rainforest species. As their homelands continue to be destroyed by deforestation, rainforest peoples are also disappearing.
Most medicine men and shamans remaining in the Rainforests today are 70 years old or more. Each time a rainforest medicine man dies, it is as if a library has burned down.
When a medicine man dies without passing his arts on to the next generation, the tribe and the world loses thousands of years of irreplaceable knowledge about medicinal plants."
THERE ARE MORE FOR THE PERSON THAT SAID, "...CAMBODIA HAS 60% OF THE RAINFOREST LEFT." PLEASE EDUCATED YOURSELF, DON'T EMBARRASSED US (COMMENTORS IN THIS FORUM). HAPPY NEW YEAR AND REPLANT 100 TREES FOR EVERY ONE THAT FALL.
What is a shit load of crock.
Snap out of it. You don't even know you are living in propaganda. The best way to know who's telling the truth is to look in the satellite map.
And here is Google satellite map:
http://maps.google.com/
You can drag Cambodia to the center and zoom-in with the slider on the top left. And if you don't see green forest, just click on Satellite button on the top right.
Now I am sure all 60% means there are a little more forest than land. and that is what we see. And if you want to see 15%, just drag Thailand over the center.
And for detail analysis, just zoom-in as required. I think the map can show you a reasonably large tree. So you can add it up yourself alright. You don't need Phd for this.
Happy Khmer New Year

It has been the Khmer history that when Khmer do not get along about how to run the country, Khmer run to get aid, militarily and politically, from neighboring countires and the other super-powers. What has been happening so far is we Khmer lose our independence, sovereignty, dignity, and identity. We like to fight among ourselves not for the construction, but the destruction of our beloved country. Of course, King Sihanouk had made some mistakes; so had Mareshal Lon Nol. Khmer Rouge did love their country too, but they adopted wrong policy which was to eliminate some Khmers; disgustingly, they killed millions of Khmer. Siam and mostly Viets had infiltrated in Khmer Rouge Angkar and made the killings for the Khmer Rouge. Why Khmer Rouge was created at the first place? All Khmer need to know that it was the policy of the cold war, which meant that Communist/Socialist Ideology and Capitalist Ideology had to compete to win over the small states or countires all over the world in order to show their military might in their evil intention of controlling the world. America, China, USSR, and a few European countries are guilty as much as Khmer Rouge and Vietnamese. Now, what do we have left? We are under Neo-Vietnamese Colonialization over Cambodia. Vietnam is successful in its policy of making Cambodia and Laos its annex countries. KHMER NEED TO WAKE UP RIGHT NOW, NOT TOMORROW.
Happy New Year!

Cambodia has been the fastest growing countries in the world, and some idiot (4:37) thought we did all that in our sleep. What is a miseducated moron?
In some parts you might be right. I love my country, too, though I'm not more Khmer than the other Khmer are. One important thing I want to mention here is that all of our leaders, I mean all of them, have never been staright honest with their people. I had been living in my motherland since 1947 up until 1979, when Vietnam launched a full-scale and well-planned invasion in disguide as a Liberation Movement, which there was no such a thing as a Liberation Movement, as a group of the puppets claimed to be one. In my youth I had a great of respect for Prince Xihanouk, just like most youths did. I might know something about each of our leaders and the history
of our country, too, even though I am not a well-educated man. I'm glad if Khmer of all walk of life can unite as one to defend our country, just like Israeli have done; but how? I cannot just join
in when I look at the personalities and cheracteristic of leaders some of whom are very cocky and arrogant. Some of us might agree with me that it is self-respect, discipline, and personality that earn a man honor and respect; it is not a power that a man has. There no need for me to mention their names; they are very notorious already in our society.
Happy New year for all our khmer people everywhere in this world,I love you all and our Country too.
The simple believes every word,But the brudent considers well his steps.A wise man fears and departs from evil,But a fool rages and is self-confindent And a quick-tempered man acts foolishly,And a man of wicked intentions is hated.
Happy New Year everybody. Only we can help ourselves. As we grow up and know more about the intention of our neighbors, we need to join hands and be one.
Yes we still have old leaders that only looks for their own interest but not the interest of the whole country. They will eventually fade away and that's when our younger generation have to step up and do it different from our wicked elderly.
Change will have to start from all of us.
yes, very true to post 9:53AM
Thank you and happy new year to all khmer.
God bless us all
Khmer Chnam Tmey Tevada this year is like a long-sighted vision political leader!
Every year, there is new face of new Tevada for Khmer New Year celebration. This year new face of Tevada is the good sign for new capable and long-sighted vision leader for Cambodia.Importantly, itt is not only New Year celebration, but it is also coinciding with election season leading to absolute victor for Cambodian peoples to choose new capable leader.
Long-sighted vision leader refers to the one who projects their political leadership by changing from "power-thirsty" to be "nation-building", and from "power for self-interests" to be "power for Cambodian citizens", especially from "short-sighted of self-projecting" to be "long-sighted of peoples-projecting".
Since the decline of tribal and feudal political system led by Khmer kings (god-kings) in Angkorean period, Cambodia has experienced only the leadership of colonialism and struggling to avoid the aura of W1, W2, and cold war.
We, Cambodians, have never experienced genuine political mechanism which can survive our nation for long term period under any long-sighted political leaders or political founding Father or Mothers.
Just look at few examples in America political history, how their founding Fathers/Mothers have done for their nation for the long term strength and sustainability.
Challenge One:
The Founding Fathers believed that all men are self-centered sinners. So how can “evil” men govern themselves?
By the way, it is important to know that the belief that all men are greedy, evil creatures is a fundamental assumption underlying American government and political philosophy. It explains a lot about Americans, then and now. Since we assume the worst in everyone, we become what we assume, and so consider everyone who differs with us to be a terrorist (or a communist, or an atheist, or a European--depending on who are the popular sinners of the time).
So anyway, the first main challenge facing the American founders was how to have a government of men over men since all men are self-centered sinners.
The design solution was brilliant:
Design Solution One:
First, assume there is something called "political power." Then "separate" the power necessary for governance into three "branches". Then give specific pieces of power to each of three “independent” yet overlapping branches of government so that “selfish power will balance selfish power,” and thus create social good. An extremely clever solution to a knotty philosophical or religious problem.
Challenge Two:
How can the thirteen colonies, now newly sovereign nations and with little experience of community among themselves at all, be persuaded to join into a closer political union?
Design Solution Two:
"Divide” “power” between the states and the central government. That division of power is now called "federalism" and was another clever solution to a perplexing problem of the time.
Challenge Three:
But how could the populous newly sovereign states be convinced to share power equally with the smaller, less-populated states?
Design Solution Three:
Create a national assembly--a Congress--that is composed of two “Houses,” one in which the states have equal representation regardless of their population, and the other where the states are represented roughly according to their population size. Require that all legislation pass both houses before it can become law. Again, a great solution to a thorny problem.
Design Challenge Four:
Since there was no king, and kings were all that was known as chief executive officers of nations, what should be done?
Design Solution Four:
Since there was no such thing as a "prime minister" at that time, the Founders invented a kingly position that they called "the president". He was to be the "best man" in the nation and would serve as head of state for four years unless elected again.
Design Challenge Five:
But that solution immediately brought up another problem: how can a single “president” be chosen for the entire nation? Since the colonies forming the union had no history of political unity and there were no means for creating a national political dialogue at that time (and no great faith in “the people” anyway), how could the voters in the widely separated new states possibly know who was nationally the “best man” to choose for president?
Design Solution Five:
The founders reckoned that the people could not know who the best man nationally was, but the people would know who their local “best man” was. So the Founders stipulated that the people would choose their local best man, and these local best men from each state would go to Washington in the winter, after the crops were in, to choose, after discussion, the national “best man” for president and the second best man for vice president.
These challengings and solutions are ubiquitous occurs in every governments. Each government designed their political system and leadership solely depends on their place, tradition, wisdom and sacrificing to sustain and strength their long term political leadership. Their founding Fathers/Mothers have had clear purposes and long-sighted vision of political leadership to safeguard as well as civilize or advance their nation.
Cambodia doesn't require to design challenging political government like America as their country is more complicate than us, we just think simply that how poverty and justice can be reduced, is it depending on the willingness to tackle rampant corruption or not?; How can we solve chronic disease of corruption and injustice? We might think simply to strengthen "the rule of law"; how can we strengthen the rule of law, we have to institutionalize three main organs of national institutes (assembly, judiciary, and executive) to work independently. How can we achieve this? If the nepotism and favoritism have been widely practiced inside current government led by the same party and same leader?
Political leaders require political will; and for the genuine liberty and sustainable advancement, Cambodian peoples have to think about themselves and make a historical change.
Happy Khmer New Year
KY
This year should be the year to stop Ah Xam Rainxy savage killer from stirring up problems in our towns and villages, and abusing our sufferings to gain his fame.
Sam Rainsy & his party are stirring up cuz they've seen so many injustices in Khmer society....the suffering of people whose are caused by CPP & Hun Sen's greed,power and
Yuon's slavery.
This new Year 2008 of Rat will bring the falling down of this tyranny regime.
There is no injustice here, if Ah savage troublemaker Xam Rainxy stay out of Cambodia. Everyone will be happy as they always was.
