Cambodia will always remember the good and dangerous work you are doing everyday to help the poor and unfortunate daughters of hers.

May you succeed in your work against all devils!

My sincere respect for you, Ms Somaly Mam.

Please don't jump on me on this comment, OK. I am not trying to be a jerk or anything like that. What is up with Somaly's incoherent speech? Her English is a mess. She can't even enunciate or construct her English sentences properly. I'm sorry, but without the captions to go along with her spoken words, I will sure have a hard time understanding her message. Lesson to learn: If you are going to be a leader, practice speaking CLEARLY and develop your vocabulary.

how u call that speech incoherent?
I found it a bit of an exaggeration. Coherence does not relate to perfect english.I could understand what she meant, even tho her english isnt perfect, but it was totally comprehensible.

She was once an uneducated child, so u cannot expect her to be perfect. I admire her a lot that she can speak english that much for a former child who couldnt even go to school and sold to brothels. I really admire her 100 times more, that she is brave enough to slam the Government about law enforcement and corruption in the justic system.
She is totally a hero.
