It's doesn't make sense.
Hollywood could make it better.
I remembered people who got persecuted by the dark clothes are so skinny...
It's just a scene made by the 7 of January people.. Whom are Khmer Rouge themselves...!!!

My beloved Khmers!
Forgive me for my illiterate brain!
Why it take so long, almost 30 years, to recognize a Remembrance Day of the Killingfield?
Does it eventually meant that the children of Khmer can conscientiously learn the truth of the Killingfield in every school in Srok Khmer?
Or does it polisickally meant that CPP desperately wanted to fool more Khmers to vote for them?
this guy look like cpp khmer rouge ho nam hong when he was young in Boeung Trobek prison center.

That's what will happened if Ah Xam Rainxy (or rather Lon Nol II) win the election; that is it will leader to Khmer Rouge II and year-zero II.
glad to see cambodia set up a date to commemorate this tragic era in cambodian history to mark remembrance and prevent of future atrocity like it again in cambodian history. it's very sad when people, who survived the KR atrocity think back to that time of their hardship life. god bless cambodia. how could anyone forget when almost their entire family members were slaughtered? we are still waiting for justice for cambodia.
There is no good reason to promote " ANGER". Whoever is in anger is evil. Promoting anger between Khmers is creating an atmosphere to show that only the Vietnamese are good to have come to save Khmer lives. History had indicated that the Vietnamese themselves were the ones who fought with the Lon Nol's Khmer Republic Army to install the Khmer Rouge into power back in 1975. After that, the Khmer Rouge played the role of " BAD GUYS" to destroy Cambodia to the root. Then the Vietnamese came to play the role of God savior to save Khmer lives. Every generations to come have to be awared of the Ho Chi Minh strategy to take over Cambodia by all means. Please pass the words... It's only an ennemy's trick to promote "HATRE" between the Khmers.
PS: I am a survior from th KR too. But my nation is even more precious than my own life.
2:01am, with due respect, i don't think this is to "promote" anger or revenge or what have you, although some people may think of it that way, however, i think its purpose is to "commemorate" or to remember as in educating the public awareness that dark period in cambodian history. please look at it this way; otherwise, people might get the wrong idea thinking that promote anger or revenge or what else in the human's mind. it is to commemorate, so in education purpose, people will remember better when they see or mark this day, then when some people are trying to deny it altogether. even the future generation are curious about this period of history so good to educate the younger people so when older people passed away, the young ones are the one to conduct life as usual just like our ancestors did for us thousand of years ago and now we live to see it, etc... god bless cambodia.
Those are the tricks of youns!
youns in nothing in my eyes. i don't look up to them for anything. i think for myself, o learn from the world around me. when you use too much youns or siam for that matter, you are not opening your eyes to see the bigger world around the planet. sometimes, i wonder, are people like you educated enough to think in a meaningful, beneficial way or just be blinded by your own egotistic, cynical, pessimistic way in your head? smart people around the world learn from others different from them and they always keep an open mind. please wake up and see the world in a big big way. i suggest you and people similar to you study geography or something to see that cambodia is actually like like a speck of dust on the world map as the world is so huge and full of endless ideas and innovation. i suggest you look around with open arms and open mind. nothing personal as i don't know you and probably don't want to. thanks and god bless.
They do it on the purpose of the election.
Ten years ago, Many fortune's tellers have predicted the fall of Hun Sen at this election. That why Hun Sen had
done everything to make sure, HE WINS. He had destroyed almost every parties right now. And I think there's no way He could loose, right... No democratic's alliance... Sam Rainsy and others are so selfish.
We, as democratic's peoples are fooling ourself. MS. Mam Sonando and Ok Socheat have done so much for the Zero's result.

Don't let Ah Xam Rainxy turns the clock back to year-zero like they did in the 70's. Vote CPP.
