remember the saying cambodia waits for no one! well, it's just that! we wait for no one. who is stop all the other competitors out there? go figure! this is a new cambodia, not the dark ages, people, wake up already, and stop being so ignorant. we all can learn from everybody, really. the important thing is to maintian and use our khmer language, identity, culture, tradition and everything else we stand for as khmer. who care about doing business. nowadays, if a company with lots of money wants to do investion and business in cambodia, they are free to do so, given they respect local etiquette, laws, custom, rules, regulations, code of ethics and is not illegal. get educated people. ignorance is the root of all evil. stop crying wolf all the time; it's beginning to get old now! i don't think most educated khmer people want to go back to the dark past, we are moving forward into the new era of development or as some call it a khmer renaissance period, perhaps, slowly but surely! god bless cambodia. the important things is to have good rule of laws in place so our country and people need not have fear in other invading or stealing from us. everyone must respect the law. otherwise, we will be like the stupid KR era again. who in their right mind wants that? please think logically about it! some of us get to live overseas and we can see or understand this concept of rule of law, especially in the beloved USA. hope we can pass that to cambodia for good cause as well. god bless cambodia.
iam with you 2:18..............KI MEIDA NEEDS TO GROW UP..............and stop talking shit about your own country..........aint YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KHMER too.....give in to each other and show a little love so we can be above the rest....KHMER PRIDE
good comment 2:18 we are kone khmer and proud to be khmer
The new style of Colonialism is working slowly and slowly on Cambodia through:
1. Send illegal immigrants to Cambodia.
2. Creating as Community by different region
3. Penetrating to the Public Sector in capturing powers.
4. Controlling the Economy
a) Immigrants: Use all means (including illegal one such as drug trade, prostitution,...) to strengthen and improve businesses and living condition over indigenous people.
b) Government: Providing investment, especially, mines, electrical power, information, banking.
5. Bilateral Relations: Expand and strengthen friendship and cooperation to forward highest destination is eliminate the national border.
These are the main steps of Vietnam to make the new colony of Cambodia.
AT LAST, CAMBODIA WILL BECOME A NOMINAL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD MAP.
THIS IS A GREAT LESSON THAT THE WORLD SHOULD LEARN FROM VIETNAM.
THERE IS ONLY NATIONAL SOLIDARITY AND UNITED THAT CAMBODIA WOULD BE SURVIVED!!!
VN is in advantage position. Remember, they took Champa without a fight (well, they fought in beds, mostly).
VN is happy to support Khmers in the fight against Siamese, and vice versus (Thais supported KR & alliances in the fight against VN 1979-1989). That's what they usually did to us. Who to blame!?
We need NAGA (or make it another Hawaii) to push these two countries back to their origin.
The slogan such as " Little white king will control three countries" has been used to aclimatised cambodians for along time.
I hope other see the plan you already mentioned.
5:12 AM,
This word ws speaded by Ho Chi Minh in a hand written book entitled : Boud Tom Neay. It was Ho's strategies to soften khmer people mind, not to fight for their nation, but to wait for the Neak Mean Bon, a White KIng ruling over three countries: Vietnam,Cambodia, Lao. The coming White king is Viet in origin.
KHmer leaders of all generations never educated their own people. The khmer subjects, especially in the countryside, lived in superstions. This khmer weaked points were know by Ho Chi Minh, and followed by his Viet successors to swallow Cambodia.
Khmers will be Viet slaves in their ancestors' Lands.
Who to blame for ????
I am, sometimes, really sick and annoyed with KI's wording in the published news. I wondered if KI's initiator or publihser is a Khmer national otherwise he/she should use more wise and intellectual words rather than urgly one.
On the other hand, it must learn how to see/look on the positive impacts of Cambodia NOT always negative sign. By using such imbalance information, making our national dignity under degeration and degraged by outsiders because of the news and words made by KI. I don't think KI had learned about journalism and reporting from the developed countries.
Remember "Khmer is soft and polite nation, but strong...."
KE or ah PPU or whatever you are...
JUST FUCK OFF you Viet's slave!!!
This is a sign of competition to the Siamese investment - Bangkok Airline/Thai Airway who's been dominating Cambodia sky for years.
However I would strongly urge the government/ministry of labour to ensure EQUAL OPPORTUNITY OF EMPLOYMENT for Cambodians in these Viet Investments.
Because some current Viet companies employ mostly Viet people either those local immigrant or from Viet country.
Good for Vietnam and how about us Khmers? We must start to invest now.
It is good to be informed but I won't worry too much for something we cannot fight. I would like to beg and beg those Khmers newcomers or old without prejudice to study and to work harder to help the country, Cambodia, and help the poor people to have a better life.
Listen folks! Without a strong economy every country will be collapsed. The Khmer Empire collapsed because of its economy was wiped out by Jayavaraman 8.
I don't blame him but I only share with everyone the facts why we became so poor until now.
Cambodia remains Cambodia no matter who come to live or to be born in it.
I don't blame the ancient and current Khmer Kings nor I blamed Khmer leaders in the past and today, I accepted humans' fates.
The world has became a global village, and I don't believe Cambodians will become the Vietnamese slaves nor the Vietnamese will become the Cambodians or Thais' slaves.
I don't believe Ho Chi Minh was genius or god. He was sent to save Vietnam from China and so other nations have their own.
Ah Chkout 2:18Am, 3:55am, 4:26, and 9:16am. I don't understand that you are smart enough to write your comments this good, but you are still so Pleu that you don't see Ah Youn's intention. Let me tell you Ah Pleu, Ah Youn wants to colonize Srock Khmer (our mother land) to accommodate their exploded population and what they just have done here is part of their strategies to swallow our country . If we have too many Pleu Khmers like you, Srok Khmer won't be long she will be part of Kampuchea Krom soon. Think well before you spitted shits out of your mouth my Khmer fellows.
Real Khmer
I would strongly support your idea (the last comment), and I also welcome the one who commented on KE, and thankssss. Today, the world is moving forward and every country try to strategise their own country into the open sky economic policies - in the other word it says "economic liberalisation". For example, China and Vietnam control by communism in Politics, but liberalism in Economics. And thier economy is growing up rapidly with number of resources available in their countries; including human resource, skilled labors and high technology development, while Cambodia on the rear and has been trying to boost its economy by any appropriate means possible.
YOUNs are spreading like germs in Cambodia right now, just like swine flue outbreak! Cambodia is heading into uncle HO's pit....
Vietnam and Cambodia forever.

Cambodians would love to invest in some trades and infrastsructures for better society, but the corruption and cheats in system, and also misconduct of pwer turn cambodian investers away.
It is so much risk to take until laws prctice become reformed.
And it should be those who collected from all resources put the money back in our society.
So much money laundring in cambodia, to it safe heaven abroad.
Laws and enforcements are not on cambodian side, at the moment.
Kaun Khmer
It is unthinkable to see the Kh-VN joint venture of Khmer National Flight Carrier which will carry Khmer public figures, for example, PM, MPs; pro-VN or anti-VN, to meetings on foreign affairs. For the Pro-VN is ok, but not the anti. And you may guess right what will happen to the anti if they want to fly to the West allies. The groups who do not favor or bow to VN that has historically planned to conquer Khmer will end up in the East-Hanoi. The carrier maybe will carry cargo of Viet Cong elite soldiers to oust any would-be leader who does not follow his lectures. A country that obeys another state's dictation for the dictating nation's interest means a colonized nation. What such an insane deal!!! From Khmersake
3:55 AM ! 2:18 AM's comment has got nothing to do with KI MEDIA . you must be against KI MEDIA that's why you brought that up. Take my advice 3:55 AM , don't come to a place where you don't like.
And do you know where $100 millions is from? it is from VN pockets attached to Khmer trousers. VN has made hundred millions of dollars from Khmer country through its affiliated companies of Angkor Wat management, Bokor, Kompong Som beach, land oppostite Palace, oil for Khmer state use, logistics of Khmer soldier uniforms, rubber plants at Khmer east border, which will become VN de facto land. Khmersake,
There are a lot of real Khmer who are coward and hypocrite in this site. You people are fucking pathetic.
PPU
to 10:31 the real khmer let me ask you somthing ah pleu kdah dut .........so if i invest in srok khmer does that mean my intetion is to bring in mento people like me as you say iam pleu to turn cambodia into mentobodia huh....tell me YOU FUCKING STUPID FUCK.....you are the pleu, AH pleau, Kaduey may ah pleu kdah dut...everything is youn this youn that GRPOW UP YOU FUCKING FAG.....WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD
11:52 YOU MAKE ME SICK
Yes i know i have a small dick and iam pleu

It's very amusing to see these potatoes diggers fighting each other. These people are fucking pathetic.

Friends and colleagues,
pls be patient and calm down...! If WE ALL ARE KHMERS, please don't use such words - not just you but many many others can access worldly to see that we are even fighting via web... ONCE AGAIN, WE MUST BE UNITED...!
We can, of course, criticize each other in a constructive manner..! I am a pure Khmer... I was also suffered like million other Khmers who always grieved for loosing of our land, sovereignty, dignity and economic independence because of invasion from other countries; mainly Siam and Yourn..! But If we are concretely-stoned united, we can defeat them by our wisdom in one day...!
Your idea is correct 4:16 since it sounds naturally correct that if we stand united then we will win. However you should write more as to how to GET UNITED. I'd like to share some of many examples exist in our Khmer society as below,
"Does our society have a culture of mercy & sympathy yet?"
Just a few examples for your considerations:
- 1st example: those who serve in public services like criminal polices / traffic polices, doctors, lawyers, judges..ect. Have they ever thought that the victims, patient.. are Khmer if they do not have money for their services/fine? Of course they will even less value and treat you badly if they know that you are from the countryside though they know that they live through the rice that countryside people produce.
- 2nd example: Can our politicians be united to set the example for the people. The answer is CAN NOT even those parties considered to be the oppositions that have the same concepts, but still can not be united.
- I want to end in the 3rd example that just look into our high ranking officials attitudes towards their lower levels and normal people. What words they use? How do they drive their deluxe transports? (treat like the lowers are slaves). And also can you change the way people writing comments in Ki media using better words to criticize each other? It looks like some Khmers are the ENEMY of some Khmers. It is not much different to
* before 1970 Sihanouk men kill Khmer Rouge & Lon Nol men.
* 1970 - 1975 Lon Nol men kill Khmer Rouge and Sihanouk men.
* 1975 - 1979 Khmer Rouge men kill all the people of any parties including those of so-called Ronakse Samaki Sankros Cheat Kampuchea later known as CPP.
* From 1979 Ronakse and Khmer Rouge kill each other...etc.
These are just some small examples only. There are many other more major examples than the above that have been existing in Khmer Society. So when can we get united?
It seems the answer is in the sky. Anyways be positive if in our generation can not, I hope the next generation.
Khmer Youth, born, educated and living in Cambodia.
This 21th century, there is no time to waste. Start to invest, folks and help those poor Khmers to get education and help them to invest if you all can. Stop winding around and cursing like some of these psychopaths, then blame Youn.
The world today is not in the old day.
Hey, it's o.k. The world will end in Dec, 21 of 2012.
yes, the important thing to hire khmer and train khmer employees. learn from the past when france was colonizing cambodia, they seemed biased with khmer and only hired vietnamese to work in their colonial jobs, thus left a bunch of khmer illiterate, and no jobs. this new national airline should have a strict hiring standard that khmer people have the priority in hiring because after all it is a cambodia national airlines. so, demand that gov't make rules and regulation that this new airlines hire only khmer first. we don't want them to do like what the colonial france did to khmer. they must train and hire khmer only. otherwise don't call it cambodia national airline, call it vietnamese national airlines. khmer demand that they hire khmer first and top priority. the language should be khmer as well. no exception, period! khmer want a place in the world!

Just to share with you one of Khmer staff at Cambodia Angkor Air.
6:28PM: your exchange ideas and information touch my heart...! The two main concepts you are talking about "Mercy/leniency and Sympathy " These had been existing in the Khmer society since Angkor era. One real example for a proverb of the King Jayavaraman VII said: "The sufferings, illness and miserable life of people is the sufferings of the King". And the King Jayavaraman VII even built the roads, briges, canals especially more than 100 hospitals nationwide. But, however, due to long internal strife and conflict, the two main principles have been rapidly reduced from insight of Khmermen as you stated. Anyway, they are still existing and remaining in Khmer's spirit, but strong commitment of political will is required an asset to boost and promote the two concepts "Mercy and Sympathy" by providing enough wage by RGC to the public servants, enact and effectively undertake the corruption law and related regulations; promote local poeple to understand about the respect of their culture and religion - culture and regilion are the roots couse of mercy and sympathy because many people belief in "sin and curse". Anyway, because of the world today is moving forward the democratization and economic liberalization, it's hard to do so, because many cultures, goods and services (ideas) have been exchanged and sowed/influenced too much in our society...! Due to time constraints, hope this short info would answer your queries.
Thanks 10:06AM. Though it is short but you have been trying to dig up the root of the answer. Appreciate your knowledge of Khmer history. I wish everyone in our Khmer society had the same knowledge at least like us.

hey, this is not the dark ages anymore. don't try to bite more than you can chew or you'll be backfired. cambodia will fight back and you'll lose more than you bargained for! don't play with fire, you idiot thailand and vietnam thieves! now get lost already from cambodia!
i say if they do illegal activity or violated our khmer law, they will be deported asap! no mercy for them!
The new airline will strengthen the image of our proud nation, Vietbodia :-)
Time to learn Vietnamese, my fellow Khmers! I have some Viet language CD's I am happy to lend to you.
