12:54 if you are Khmer, no matter of whatever political affiliations, you should consider your comment shameful. Cambodia is not great right now with the human rights abuse and the lack of real democracy, but the fact that Cambodia won independence from France is an important milestone in our history. All Khmer should attach great significance to this date. Even if it is not so relevant to today's events, it signifies that we together as one can defeat any common enemies if we are united. And we can do the same thing to defeat the evil forces that is bringing bad lucks to Cambodia. By uniting together as one, we can defeat the war-mongering, fear-provoking political propagandas of Sam Rainsy, and Lao Hay in Cambodia once and for all. Cambodia needs a great injection of international aids and support to development the country, but these two unintellectual individuals have always blocked aids for poor people, criticize and pain a very gloomy picture of the current Khmer leadership and they encourage a PAD-style opposition movement in Cambodia to cripple the government for their own political gains.

To all blind supporters of Sam: time to consider your conscience. I know you all mean good for the country, but your support was based on false information supplied by the opposition who would only work to enrich themselves and their cronies if they are in power. They neither have the experience, capabilities or international relation credentials to tackle the issues better than the Hun Sen government. They are useless foreign scam politicians operating in Cambodia under the disguise of democracy.

Penh of CPP Hot Air,

War-mongering is your boss Hun Sen. He was the one who declared that he wants to make war with Siam. Sam Rainsy and Dr. Lao Mong Hay never said such thing. Furthermore, Hun Sen's cronies are the one who are currently enriching themselves on the back of Khmer people.

Where have you been all this time? Did you drink too much "teuk thnot chou" on Xmer Independence Day that you got all your story mixed up like this? I think you should change your name from Penh Panha to "Penh of CPP Hot Air" instead, it's more befitting for a CPP lackey like you.

Yours truly,

Khmer Observer,

Call me whatever you want, whatever pleases you.

I would call anyone who believes that corruption can be eradicated from Cambodia and anyone who believes that Sam Rainsy and psycho Lao Hay will run a corruption-free government a "fool". Just notice the many defections from SRP to CPP in the past year and this year: the defection is to seek lucrative position. If SRP is elected, all new political appointees will grab whatever money they can before they are out of office. The same bunch in Hun Sen government is already rich enough, and they may now have conscience to actually fix the problems.

Politicians make all sorts of promises, but only the gullible will not see through the reality beyond their propagandas. If you are a opposition supporter, consider yourself a "gullible".

I hope that things will be better off when all the Khmer from older generation die off. Why? Because you guys still have the mentality of "I'm the only true Khmer and the other guy is a fake or a puppet of other people."

I hope that one day Khmer people come to realize other Khmer are as much patriotic and true Khmer as you like to believe yourself to be. When that day comes, Khmer won't have to kill each other off on the accusation or belief of other Khmer being foreigners or the puppets of the foreigners.

All you older guys really make bad example for us younger generation. I hope your notion of hatred toward other people, means Viets, Thai, Laos, Chinese, etc..., doesn't get passed on to your children or else it will be another sad chapter in Khmer vs Khmer all over again for those guys.

Remember this, all of you who read my comment. You're not the only TRUE Khmer. You're not the only TRUE patriotic to Cambodia. It's when you have that mentality of "I'm the only true khmer" that you're vulnerable to opportunists who know how to tab into your mindset and fool you around.

Please think about that last paragraph of mine carefully and see if you understand what I meant. If you are able to understand it, I think you can probably see the old curse of the Khmer people and maybe you can fix it for yourself. Thanks!

You're laughable. I know for a fact you're not from inside Cambodia, thus making your statement false lol. You're not even Cambodian citizen fool. Do you hold Cambodian passport? I think not. You can't even vote in Cambodia lol. Technically, you're not even Cambodian national since you hold other nationality and live outside the country. haha

Insanity is when one cannot differentiate reality from delusion. I am sick of all these conspirators lol. You people sound like paranoid motherfuckers, geez. Learn to live a normal life for once, will you? Youn has plan to take over Cambodia and what not. Then, why the fuck are you living outside the country if you know Youn is taking over and you're so patriotic? Logically, if you're patriotic and know Youn is doing bad work in Cambodia, you have to be in Cambodia trying to fight that. But, you're not. So if your Young conspiracy theory holds (hypothetically) you're full of shit or fucking pussy for not doing anything and just talk from outside the country.

Have you tried telling your Youn theory to any of your friends? Did they laugh lol? If the youn really want Cambodia that bad, I am very patriotic but I won't live long enough to fight them so, you be the hero, man. Good luck lol!

Il est à craindre que devant cette politique de génocide du Marionnette Gouvernement du Viêtcông à l’endroit de la population Khmère, Célébrations de jour de l'indépendance pacifique des Khmère ne soit pas la dernière. La survie d’un peuple pousse à des réactions d’une éneraie insoupconnée dont notre Khmère a déjà connu quelques images en Cambodge et ailleurs.
Puisse l’Humanité toute entière qu’honorent la Charte des Nations Unies et autres déclaration des Droits de l’Homme, se pencher rapidement sur le sort de millions d’individus avant qu’éclate un nouveau drame sanglant?

Perdu de l'indépendance,


Le 5 Juin 1948, par les Accords de la Baie d’Along, la France remit la Cochinchine entre les mains de Yuon Bao-Dai. Ces accords, comme il est généralement de règle de la part des administrations coloniales, furent conclus sans consultation préalable et sans qu’il ait été tenu compte des sentiments propres ni du Cambodge ni de la population Khmère de Cochinchine. Sa Majesté Norodom Sihanouk, Roi du Cambodge, ne pas permettre au khmère de protester contre la France ou le viêtnam.
