I just came back from Maung Russei this month, Feb. '09. My mom-in-law had to beg on her knees in order for the OB/GYN to do the C-section. If she didn't pay upfront, my sis-in-law would die from the birth complications.

It's nothing new in Cambodia; this is how the Khmer society now function. Survival of the fitness, the disable, the feeble, the mangler, young, and old will be cast away from the mainstream of Hun Sen's Management Teamsters!

Sam Vichea is Hin Sithan, his poem tells all that he is not every well educated or wise enough to understand the problems in Caqmbodia's politic that's why led his Communist idiology took over Cambodia in April 1975 and killed over 2 million people.

Hin Sithan is Communist indoctrinated mind, what he was told by his clans even without facts, he try to creats chaos in Cambodian society. That's the Communist strategy and psychology.

These old schools like Yim Guechsè, Prak Em, KC, Khemarak Visoth and Ung Thavary and Ung Bun Heang are too dumb and too extremist sinister than we khmer people thought.

I read this poem and I applaud.

The title is "Tourists and Thieves", and it has nothing to do with Ta Hin Sitan joined Khmer Rouge in the past.

You have to give weights to the meanings in the article or poem not the person whoever he is.

I am one of the strong critics of Ta Hin Sithan for associating Ly Ngoc Dinh whom many Khmers suspected him is a Vietnamese spy, but if Sam Vichea is Ta Hin Sithan wrote this poem, I respect him for being able to express and interpret facts written by Global witness report into poem.

Understand the difference between the facts and fiction.

If lok kru Hin Sithan joined the khmer rouge in 1968, how he was teaching at Net Yang-Eap Khuth until April 17, 1975, when ah Pol Pot took over Cambodia.

And who were Lok Kru Hin Sithan Khmer Rouge Cadres or Angapheap ???
ask your Tacoma friend !!!

Mi Bun Ho Reach, your Tacoma lady, was a prostitute with too many men, including ah Sek Sam Iet, ex-governor of Battambang.

You're a liar through your Tacoma frirnd.

Ah Pleu 7:50 AM

Your Kru Hin Sithan joined the khmer Rouge in 1968 was not underground fighter, but, as Armed propaganda (Avuth Khossna kar) and political psychology based on the event in samlaut and B52, while he was teaching at Net Yang-Eap Khuth and throughout Battambang sub-region. After his Communist won over Lon Nol, he become a leader of Angapheap Sabpakam at Watt in Battambang. My Tacoma lady is one of the best source of informations about your Kru Hin Sithan. On the other hand Ah M'sear Sek Sam Iet, ex-governor of Battambang and Commander Regional 3 just another story, he's a womenizer, a pimp now he serve under a foot of CPP.
7:50 am, You ought to Learn more about your Kru. OK?

10:41 AM,

You're a real real liar through your Tacoma friend and your Neak Srey Sam Phoeung Reach Bun Ho who did kill her own husband, Mr. Hap Hoy, by not keeping her stinky mouth shut while living under ah Pol Pot regime. She dared to boast
that her husband was a major general, instead of a captain by assimilating into Lon Nol army for high school teacher. And the witness named OEUT still living in Wat Kor heard by his own ear.
And the head of prothean neary Me Rieb repot that. Ah Chham in Boeung Raing, Battambang, by the order of ah Moul Sam Bat, came to take her husband. Poor Mr. Hap Hoy
was killed by his own wife, me Reach Bun Ho, cheated wife.

Lok Kru Hin Sithan had a ye ye life by attending with every dancing parties, but I never sew Mr. Kol Yoeut, Chin Tai Heng, Som Sam On, Men Phoeun, the Khmer Rouge Cores in Eap Khut-Net Yang attending any dancing paries at all.

7:50 AM,
I didn't know Ta Hin Sithan. I read posts in here and in many blogs, the name Hin Sithan reminded me from other blogs.

When I write I signed Free Spy, so don't add up someone else posts as mine.

Continu'
I only criticized Ta Hin Sithan for associating with Ly Ngoc Dinh whom many Khmers believed he is Vietnamese spy. My posts didn't accuse Ta Hin Sithan as a former KR, because I didn't know his past.

Wow!A bunch of "old school" folks arguing and insulting each other. I wish I know what you are talking about. I'm too young to understand the context. Though, it's interseting and bothersome to see this kind of profanity used by old khmer people. My dad never allows me to communicate like that.

What age has to do with going online searching like you are here in KI? It is easy to know what the world talking about if you seek knowledges. Do you know what Internet means? Google is the place, that's why you are here.
Who cares you are too young or too old, posters only care what you write and if they feel yours deserves to be replied or not.

FYI, some smart young people I knew who write in KI once and a while knew so much more than the old schools.

The Khmer Rouge Organisation is very very secret.

Your Kru Hin Sithan worked with the public (stay in light) nov Plue.

Kol Yoeut, Chin Tai Heng, Som Sam On, Men Phoeun (stay in the dark) nov Ngor Nget.

Touch Chhuong, Khek Pen, Ros Nhim, Nuon Chea Underground.

Your Kru Yé yé Hin Sithan likes to Tack Ting Ting, because, to cover up his acts from the government authority of being see as Khmer Rouge' cores in any public arena or schools etc...

Tell your Kru Tack Ting Ting Hin Sithan, by Changing the strategy of written poems, will not win our hearts and souls any more, we have learned enough khmer rouge tactic.

If this peom wrote by Ta Hin Sithan aka Sam Vichea the reader should give weights to his good poem and forget who he is or what he did. People can change according to new wisodm they found.

Malicious attack on individuals from this good poem does not make you a good person 12:49AM.

Leave this good poem from your personal vengeance.

12:49 AM,

We have a logic mathematic, young kid from new Viet school in Phnom Penh:

Nuon Chea = Khmer Rouge leader # 2

So his niece Nuon Keth is automatically Khmer Rouge,

Then Reach Bun Ho had known that, but she took his son Hap Mev to marry Nuon Keth in 1993 in Wat Kor,

So by logical demonstration, Reach Bun Ho , your lay of Tacoma,is 100 % Khmer Rouge too.
