The DJ Ano Disappearance: Is It A Conspiracy Theory?

DJ Ano's arrival for the live TV interview to dispel the rumours.

Opinion by Khmerization
22nd November, 2008

“Without prejudice and without judgement, I have no intention of accusing her of purposefully fabricating the rumours nor have I any evidence to suggest that she was wilfully faking her own disappearance. But I can say this, her disappearance, with a high degree of certainty, has the hallmark of a conspiracy theory.”


The supposed disappearance of Miss Suon Pheakdei, called DJ Ano, has caused a stir throughout Cambodia and in within some circles of the Khmer communities overseas. The DJ Ano rumours, if anything at all, has taught us one thing: and that is, our gullibility and our failures to check facts have made us all, me included, look like fools.

Without prejudice and without judgement, I have no intention of accusing her of purposefully fabricating the rumours nor have I any evidence to suggest that she was wilfully faking her own disappearance. But I can say this, her disappearance, with a high degree of certainty, has the hallmark of a conspiracy theory. It has all the criteria of a fake disappearance. In fact, it is probably a publicity stunt and a self-glorification, staged for the purpose of a publicity consumption. In layman’s term, her disappearance, was probably a publicity coup, conspired, aided and abetted by her mother and her employer, TV3, in order to make her and TV3 more famous. And I will say this, if she was not personally involved in the faking of her disappearance, one question remained to be answered: why didn’t she, her relatives or employer come out to dispel the rumours so earlier?

In order to prove a conspiracy theory, let’s look at what happened during the period of her disappearance: At the height of the rumours, when there were news that DJ Ano was attacked with 83 razor blade cuts to her body and private parts and that she had died in a Vietnamese hospital, all her friends, mother, management of TV3, remained tight-lipped. The management of TV3 said that they didn’t know anything about her whereabouts and that she did not apply for permission of leave. Everyone seemed to be in hiding and too scared to say anything, when journalists and human right investigators went to her homes to enquire about her safety and whereabouts. All the two addresses where she used to live appeared to have been deserted, when in actual fact all her relatives and DJ Ano herself lived in Phnom Penh with her mother.

When the sky was about to be clear of the clouds, the people mentioned above sang a different tune. Shortly before DJ Ano was about to appear live on TV3 to dispel the rumours on the night of the 19th of November, they all have a lot of things to say about her. Mr. Khampuon Keomony, director of TV3, who had denied about her whereabouts before and who said that she was on absence without leave, has now issued a statement saying that DJ Ano was alive and well and that she had a “leave permission” to go on holiday in Malaysia, Macau and Hong Kong. Her mother, Mrs. Suon Pov, has boldly come out and bragged to Koh Santepheap reporter that “in the past few weeks” DJ Ano lived happily in their rented house with her in Phnom Penh.

On her part, during her interview with the Angkor Thom magazine, DJ Ano said that she had a “leave permission” to go on holiday overseas with a few friends. She told Angkor Thom that: “At the same time as when I disappeared from my TV programs, the rumours (of attacks on me) have emerged and I didn’t think that people were talking about my name. I thought it was someone else who has the same name as me.” OK, doesn’t she know her own name?

And by the look of it, all her employer’s as well as her mother’s statements and even her own alibi seemed very contradictory and at times, didn’t add up. She said that she felt very “hurt” when she heard all about the false news of her disappearance and the razor blade attacks on her. One would imagine that, if she was so “hurt” about the rumours, why didn’t she come out to dispel the rumours so early? So, was all of this fuss a hoax designed to get the attention?

Well, if she is seeking self-glorification and publicity, she has certainly got it. But whether her fans, who have been fooled for the past few weeks, will forgive her or not is another matter. There is an old saying that ‘one can forgive but one cannot forget’. I certainly will forgive her but I certainly will never forget her actions or inactions in fooling the public, including myself, if that was her real intention. If, in the future, hapless and unfortunate things happen to her as has been cruelly rumoured in the past few weeks, she probably won’t get the sympathy and attention to the amount that has been poured in in the past few weeks.

I am thankful that she has come out alive and unscathed and I wish her all the best for her future career. But I am furious that she has allowed the rumours to spread like a wildfire for so long and that it has taken her, her family and her employer, TV3, this long to come out to deny the rumours. This is outrageous and beyond comprehension.

Her action or inaction, in the rumours and disappearance and of not coming out to dispel the rumours at an early stage, is unethical and immoral. It is the betrayal of the trusts of her fans and probably have angered them all. They are owed an unreserved apology. And on my part, I shall offer my apology unreservedly and unequivocally to those who have been misled by my previous articles. And I shall offer my unconditional apology to the late Gen. Hok Lundy and his wife, whom my previous articles have unfairly smeared and vilified. I’m so sorry, mate!

mate, you just did it again. you just perpetuated the false conspiracy theory and 'fake disapperance idea.' people like you are the ones you condemned guilty (as you admit yourself) and are the ones who spread false rumors. no good.

These are two good examples for you to tell you to stop writing craps. Your biased, nonsense opinion belongs in your blog, not in a news website and preteding to be news article or and editorial view point.

Astronauts from the International Space Station have begun a third spacewalk to solve the latest technical glitch.

They are trying to fix a jammed joint that is supposed to keep the station's solar panels pointed towards the sun.

Scientists are still struggling to repair a new recycling system intended to convert astronauts' urine into drinking water.

During a previous space walk, the astronauts accidentally lost a tool box worth more than $100,000 (£65,000).

Hardest mission

This is the third spacewalk made by the crew to repair the International Space Station' solar panels, and it is expected to be the longest and hardest of the mission.

The astronauts will try to complete repairs made during a previous spacewalk earlier this week, when a tool box was lost.

Meanwhile, the astronauts are still trying to repair a water recycling system worth over $150m (£100m) that has failed twice since being delivered to the station a week ago by the space shuttle Endeavour last Sunday.

The shuttle mission is the fourth and final of the year.

Endeavour and its crew are to due to land back at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on 30 November.

Nasa had hoped to fly a servicing call to the Hubble Space Telescope last month but delayed the mission to May 2009 to prepare for some additional repair work on the observatory.

Human beings, the so called earthlings, should have full compassion towards one another. But many humans, as self proven, are no better than the four legged wild animals.

I have noticed at least one person in this comment section, i.e. the 1st. comment poster here who has such bitter heart towards a sweet young lady who also suffers from the ill rumors.

This ill comment poster is a very sick and horrible person - a person whom my judgment can strongly condamn. I have an ill wish for such individuals as well. Along with all other bad creatures I wish that they DO NOT exist on this fine planet.

Of this reported account I personally urge all of us to understand the matter fully and show no nakedness through this comment section.

First poster, you are only proving to us the readers your true nature and what sort of a human being you really are. You have proven to be one very sick person and I am positive that you will not exist in the new world which my God will bring about in the near future. Your future domain will be hellish or the actual hell itself. I am a loving and very compassionate person but I have no slightest love for you bad creature.

DJ Ano is and will always be my beloved friend, among other friends, even though now she has yet learnt of my pure and simple love of her.

All bad creatures will surely be defeated.

Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Amen.

9:08am, the author just said her disappearance has the "hallmark of a conspiracy theory". from my understanding it doesn't look like he did say it is a conspiracy theory. I am for freedom of speech and freedom of opinion and people can write anything they want. If other people don't like their writings just don't read them, it is that simple.
As far as the rumors are concerned, I don't think Ki-media or other blogs are the ones who spread them. The rumors were started by Sophorn Magazine, Angkor Thom, Pracheaprey magazine and even the CPP-affiliated Koh Santepheap newspaper. I think KI, or even Khmerization, just got their news from those sources mention above.

Good news:

Doctors in Germany say a patient appears to have been cured of HIV by a bone marrow transplant from a donor who had a genetic resistance to the virus.

The researchers in Berlin said the man, who suffered from leukaemia and HIV, had shown no sign of either disease since the transplant two years ago.

But they stressed it was an unusual case which needed further investigation.

Experts said the result may boost interest in gene therapy for HIV.

Berlin's Charite clinic said the 42-year-old patient was an American living in Berlin, but the man has not been identified.

Genetic mutation

He had been infected with the human immunodeficiency virus, that causes Aids, for more than a decade and also had leukaemia.

The clinic said since the transplant was carried out 20 months ago, tests on the patient's bone marrow, blood and other organ tissues have all been clear.
In a statement, Professor Rodolf Tauber from the Charite clinic said: "This is an interesting case for research.

"But to promise to millions of people infected with HIV that there is hope of a cure would not be right."

Roughly one in 1,000 Europeans and Americans have an inherited genetic mutation, which prevents HIV from attaching itself to cells.

Two million people die of Aids every year and HIV is estimated to have infected 33 million people worldwide.

Option 'for a few'

Professor Andrew Sewell, from the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Immunology at the University of Cardiff said in theory a bone marrow transplant such as this one "should work" and it was surprising that no one had tried it before.


Most people with HIV live in sub-Saharan Africa and this is hugely expensive
Professor Andrew Sewell, University of Cardiff

"The problem is most people with HIV live in sub-Saharan Africa and this is hugely expensive, you have to find a matched donor, and it's a pretty severe and painful operation.

"So it's going to be an option for very few people."

He added that gene therapy to knock out the mutation of the key CCR5 receptor was a possibility for future treatment.

Professor Philip Goulder, an immunologist at the University of Oxford said: "It's a really interesting case which looks at a treatment which really hasn't been thought about before.

"But without having that much information about the specific case you would want to be very cautious about getting too excited and you wouldn't be able to replicate that treatment for a lot of people with HIV."

Paul Ward, deputy chief executive at the Terrence Higgins Trust said: "This case gives us something to explore in future studies but it's certainly not a quick fix as gene therapy is complex and expensive.

"With no cure in sight, prevention should be our number one priority."

Love and hatred are two things inseparable. Only when you experience hatred that you can value love. These two generate emotional, and motivate us to take action. Ko Samot Teuk Dos, the mythology on Angkor walls has shown us clearly about this phenomenon.

Because some of you hate, and some love Suon Pheakdei that make this article receives a lot of comments.

Hey, 10:34 AM,

If she's just disappeared, then who care.Nobody knew who DJ Ano was ?, but somehow the news said ;her disappearance has something to do with the jealous wife of a horny high ranking official. Rumors circulated around the globe that she was attacked with the razor blade by an angry bitch.The cuts were so severe even her Virgina got injure.That's why there are nonstop talking.

Oh! poor girl. She's even know her famous name. How come?? Look...look at her hair, she got a brain-washed.
As I told you guy before, it's not too soon and it's no too far. Now she met the real consequences.
This is just the very first one that made her have to leave the country.
The second, she's gonna lose a job.
The third, she's not a star any more...No more DJ Ano.
The fourth, she will make a rumor came true by her own.

That is like a Buddha say, "A Four Life Cycle"
1. getting born
2. getting old
3. getting sick
4. getting died
Now she's in Number 3.

Within this month, I saw many of you in the forum spend a lot of time to discuss about her (VJ Ano). Now you all got a reasonable response from her mouth that you will have never expected.
Beside that she's just a trouble-maker. She's a distractor; she had distracted our eyes from Preah Vihear.

*** "It's a Politic." ***
*** "That's a Cambodian Strategy AND Hun Sen's tactics" ***
!!! Beware !!!
He always use this strategy to distract us and like all people from one BIG, MAIN problem to another tiny, small, wasted problem. You know, "she is just a myth."

Now you all are away from the Nation. Did you forget about Preah Vihear or not? I hope you still follow the news of the temple.

It's a myth, a false belief.
!!! Does this female be able to compare to a world heritage temple?? Absolutely and definitely NOT !!!

First they blame it on the wife of a high ranking official, possibly the dead man's wife, Hok Lundy. You can read this silly accusation in one of Hok Lundy brief bio. Then when DJ ANO appeared in public with no scratch on her bodies, they now said it is a conspiracy theory. what's next with these anti cambodian government hater? this site is crappy with stupid author and wannabe journalist.

Here's the real story:

The whore was high one day, from sniffing glue, and decided to butcher her own hair, like Briteny Spears. She woke up and came to her senses and decided to lock herself up in her house until her hair grew out. Realizing that staying couped up in her house only depreciate the value of her puss, she decided to come out after all.
