Hi Sacrava:

I always appreciate your work; however, what is the point of showing this particular catoon? Are u really hate King Sihanouk? Despite something when wrong under his leadership, his great achievement of getting Preah Vihear back to Cambodia is undeniable. Ask yourself, what have you done for you nation, except drawing criticizing cartoon to leaders. Go to fight with Siem who are stealing Cambodia land; then, the whole will applause for your handwork.

Kaun Khmer

What the Siam government fear the most is that Cambodia go to the ICJ. These thieves do remember when the ICJ order them to pull immediately their troops and their flag out of the Temple.

No matter what Cambodia must stick to the ICJ verdict and 1907 Treaty.

We should not sign anything document with them, they are full of trickery.

Dear Lauk Koun Khmer,
I like your question :
" Are u really hate King Sihanouk?"
In my life I have no ennemy and I ever hate anyone.
HM N.Sihanouk had done so much mistakes toward Cambodia & its people but one of his great archiement for Cambodia it was his Fight on Preah Vihear Temple .We cannot ignore that.
Maybe he last fight to be recognized as the last Varman who will serve Cambodia & its People from the East,Yuon-Hanoi.
His time is nearly running out...but he still can do it if he wanted !!!!

As a Khmer refugee in Australia,who
draws everyday,not only to FIGHT with Yuon but also Siem.
My heart tells : " It's my duty as a person who was born in Cambodia and rised for 29 yrs there.
It's time to pay HER back .I do not need a big Applaud for anyone...but
my heart knowns Cambodia is my Home
where I like to see HER,being a FREE HOME for its People.
Jeyo, FREE CAMBODIA & ITS PEOPLE !

Am I dreaming here. So 6:06 is the Sacrava Famous Cartoonist for real??? Wow. I guess in this world it is one's god-given ability to "interpret" the circumstances and facts in order to derive any meaningful lessons or guidance for one to learn from. I also believe that no one is perfect. I personal made a lot of mistakes in my younger life experiences and almost crossed the blurry line of self-destruction, until by something deep within me awoken me and made me realize the better path instead. Finally, I am all grown up. I have read much about the Cambodian leaders, and in my best opinion, no one has yet to top King Sihanouk's achievements for the State of Cambodia. Remember I was only born in 1983. So please don't say that I am biased towards any Cambodian leaders. I just interpret what each of the Cambodian leaders had done, and I have an admiration for King Sihanouk of Cambodia. It is alright for anyone to have a position on anything.

You know what they say. People that can't do talk while the people that don't talk are too busy doing. These so called political cartoons are more of a self indulgence of one's own political likes and favors than a true constructive criticism. It's true, really. Can you ask "why don't I see any of such criticism done toward Mr. Sam Rainsy"? Sam Rainsy has as much flaws as any other Khmer politicians if you dig into his careers and what he has done. But You don't see any of these political satires mock him? Why? Maybe politically motivated? lol haha. Talking about bias and contractions here.

Sacrava has done an other remarkable controversial cartoon for khmers in every generation to spill their emotional linked to their patriotic comments. The bottom line is the thinkings are very much of individual point of views and analogies. However isn't it a necessary message as we Khmer to concentrate on finding solution to help protect Cambodia with all our heart and soul?
My observation so far we all have shown our superior nationalism sentiment toward Preah Vihear issue which is the western boundary. What about the eastern boundary? many have failed to acknowledge that this is a genuine threat to this tiny kingdom because 21 Kms have been moved into Khmer territory from the legitimate recognition of Khmer/Vietnam border. I am ashame for many Khmer who turn their blind eye or choose to ignore on the issue by taking the sick excuse "this is politic". We all know because of the excuse CPP continues to manipulate the Khmer history especially issues on land grabbing and the current election as they have enjoyed claiming their shameful victory with their deceitful attitude to promote impunity, corruption and social unjustice. Where is the whole justice for Cambodia and the genuine concern for the well being of Khmer people? It's all up to us to help decide shaping Cambodia history in the making for the 21 century. It's never too late, let us all together put to an end this discrepancy and make this bitter sweet legacy for the next generation to remember.
