Dear Readers,

Khmerization received the following appeal from a fellow Khmer Surin, whom I think is more Khmer than some of us. He is doing it tough trying to teach Khmer language to our Khmer Surin children due to shortage of money and teachers. Above all, he is a scholar who is well-versed in Khmer and Thai history. If anyone has any doubt about Preah Vihear and the 1907 treaty, ask him.

The following is his appeal for financial help in his crusade to revive Khmer language in Surin. Please give a helping hand so that our Khmer Surin brothers and sisters can help keep their Khmer identity.Read more about Lok Kru Chey Mongkol crusade click here: Khmer Surin: Will They Survive The Language And Cultural Genocide?

Dear Kmouy,

I am sending you a MAYDAY!! Now, we having a big problem with financial crisis. For months that I don't receive donaiton. Please send my cry for help to all Khmer who see my cause.

This is a new front line for the Khmer people. If I lost in Surin, history of the Khmer Surin will be completely wiped out. Now, Thai government's Mahidol University has started up Khmer program for Khmer Surin but they use Thai scripts written Khmer words. My program is a rival program for them. They don't like me because I have often attacked them whenever we go out for a conference.

Please send this message to all Khmer people that I need their help at Surin Front Line. This is gonna be a long long uphill battle.

Sincerely,
Mongkol

I saw you on you tube, good job. No problem I'll send you some money.
I urge the other Khmer abroad to do the same.

It had been known for years that the Thai government was actively engaged in genocide of the Khmer culture in Thailand!

I heard you cry and my donation is on the way!

Thanks for reviving Khmer culture in Surin and surrounding provinces. I will try to help you as much as possible.

Just give Preah Vihear back to Khmer Surin, and they will be okay. No need to send any money. They will make millions from the tourists.

no kidding. They will make squats. Thailand is full of tourist sites and many of them are extensive archeological sites of Khmer origin. What happen to those revenues? Jack ass.

I have contributed some money to Mongkol's cause in the past. When my bills are paid off, I'll send some more. Mongkol, you've done a great job.

Khmer Surin needs their Preah Vihear temple back; otherwise, they will be poor forever.

Samdech Decho Hun Sen and his Okhnas has billion of dollars that can spend many hundred years ahead.

It's time for you to show your nationalism, Samdech Decho.

PM Hun Sen has donated to people 24/7 nonstop since day one, not to mention saving millions and millions of them from the Khmer Rouge brutal abuses.

It's time for Ah Useless Scam Rainxy to do Khmer people a favor by going back to Zimbabwe.

How much Hun Sen earns as prime ministry? How come has aboe to donate 24/7 non-stop? Could be those meoney belong to the people of Khmer in the first place?...

Anonymous said...

Who care how much he earn? But whatever he earned, he donates part of it to the needies, and that is why he will go into history as the greatest Khmer leader of all times.

God blesses PM!

god bless his heart. how about the thai gov't? they should lend hands to help as well. after all, thailand is the one who annexed this area of cambodia, so, they must be responsible for the well-being of all the people they took the land from. if thailand is to call themself "democractic", then they should do something to help everyone who live under their gov't rule. this includes khmer surin people or khmer leu people as they are known in cambodia. otherwise, thailand is neglecting its own people as they are heterogenous in population anyway. demand the thai gov't to help khmer surin people, too. thailand can't discriminate against any indigenous people whom they took their land away from them or whom thailand is annexing their land. again, that is what thailand must do for being so greedy in stealing land from the khmer empire.

Thailand does not neglect Khmer Leu. That is why they want join development over Preah Vihear to help them.

Anonymous said...

Oh really? That is why the Thai soldiers always shoot to kill the Khmer Leu along the border! The fact that the Thai want a join development over Phrea Vihear is because they want to control it!

Say no to Thai joins development on Khmer soil!

No problem, 2:52, the soon we can get it back from Ah Scam Rainxy's swiss account, we'll give it to you.
