The public needs to know the truth!16 September 2009
Mrs. Carol A. Rodley
US Ambassador to the Kingdom of Cambodia
Dear Mrs. Rodley,
On 16 September 2009, several Cambodian news media, including the US-funded Radio Free Asia, quoted Mr. Ouch Borith, the Cambodian secretary of state of the ministry of Foreign Affairs as saying: “…Therefore, what the [US] ambassador told me yesterday when I met her, it was a clear confirmation that the internet publication by KI[-Media] does not reflect the truth, it is an exaggeration and a lie.” (Click here to read the RFA article in Khmer).
What we would like to confirm with you is whether you indicated to Mr. Ouch Borith that the article in which KI-Media translated in English from an original article posted by Radio Free Asia, a station funded by the US, was “an exaggeration and a lie” – as Mr. Ouch Borith seems to attribute this claim to you – or that it was merely Mr. Ouch Borith’s personal malicious interpretation.
Your reply is of utmost importance for the parties involved, including the following:
If RFA’s report was indeed an “exaggeration and a lie”, you, as the representative of the US government, should petition the US Congress to stop funding this institution which seems not to “provide accurate and timely news and information to Asian countries whose governments prohibit access to a free press”.
If KI-Media indeed helped spread “exaggeration and lie” as Mr. Ouch Borith claimed, please do let us know so that we may bring a correction or an apology, or even retract our publication, if necessary.
On the other hand, if what Mr. Ouch Borith attributed to you was merely a spinning of the truth by the Phnom Penh regime, we would also like to obtain your clarification in this matter, in order to show to the world, and more specifically the Cambodian public, how low this regime has to stoop to protect its authoritarian image.
We would greatly appreciate the honor of your reply. Please email it to us at kiletters@gmail.com
Sincerely,
KI-Media team

Your reply is of utmost importance for the parties involved, including the following:
- For Mrs. Mu Sochua, whom according to Mr. Ouch Borith, the Phnom Penh regime representative, would be the source of this “exaggeration and lie”.
- For Radio Free Asia, an institution funded with US taxpayer dollars to “provide accurate and timely news and information to Asian countries whose governments prohibit access to a free press,” who would be the source for spreading this “exaggeration and lie”.
- For KI-Media, which translated the RFA report from Khmer to English in order to provide information to the general public on the actual situation in Cambodia that would otherwise be censored by the Phnom Penh regime, who would also be a secondary source for spreading this “exaggeration and lie”.
If RFA’s report was indeed an “exaggeration and a lie”, you, as the representative of the US government, should petition the US Congress to stop funding this institution which seems not to “provide accurate and timely news and information to Asian countries whose governments prohibit access to a free press”.

Mu Suchua manipulated everyone. Furthermore, yesterday, Sam Rainsy asked for help to restitute her immunity as the traitor, stuborn, trouble maker for Cambodia People. Therefore, she should listen to my advise to drop the case, pay the fines, it will be better than today.
New Phally
The master of lie for CPP is the Viet. They clain they are Buddhism but Buddhism only on the tongue. Allows Buddha his follower to speak lie? NO. So, they are no buddhism.

KI Media,
Great job of digging for the truth!
Here's what I am skeptical about Cambodia system:
We all understand that if poor citizens critical government official they will get slap with defamation and disinformation.
Just a thought, how about those government official critics other countries including US and unhumane pressure toward the citizens of Cambodia; how come no one like US step in and charge them with the same law sueds?
I don't get it!
Obviously Hem Heng and Ouch Borith intention is to provide misleading information regarding the Congressional Hearing at the US House of Congress in Washington DC last week.
CAN WE ALL URGE U.S. CONGRESS TO PRESS CHARGE WITH THIS MATTER THE SAME WAY THEY CHARGER OUR INNOCENT CAMBODIAN CITIZENS? AFTER ALL THIS IS EVEN MOER SERIUS, INTERNATIONAL MATTER.
KI, what do you all think?
Do like I do - Don't give a damn shit about ah "Nou Phally"!!!
[En ce qui concerne Ah «New/Nou Phally», Je m’en fous!!!]
សូមបងប្អូនធ្វើដូចខ្ញុំ កុំរវីរវល់ជាមួយនឹង
អាខ្ញុំកញ្ជះយួនមួយ ឈ្មោះ នូផល្លី (New Phally)នេះអោយសោះ។ សូមអរគុណ៕
yes, ah pourk cpp party kwack hun if you are a good guy why don't you let srp party have a free dom to protected themseft on broad cast tv, radio, new spaper why? annd so on son on....... because all cpp party are lier and are corruption, killer and so non '''''so on. ah Angor kramma or krohom bitches man also are big lier.
If Ambassador Rodly and Ouch Borith both lied, should both be internationally persecuted for defamation, misleading and disinformation?
I don't know about the US Ambassador but no doubt that Ouch Borith, a Hun Xen's puppet have no problem lying.
Ohh Poor Ki-Media, why are you so nervous about your publication..You are afraid to lose your fund support or you are scare about your kids no food to eat afterall?...You are not value enough to ask my aunt Carol A. Rodley, she is so genious and good judgement..dont try to teach my aunt Carol...you guy should go to media professional school to get more train about this skill, and somehow I can ask my Aunt Carole to support you a full scholarship for this.
Khmer
I admire Mu Sochua for standing up against Hun Sen, a dictator and mafia chief. She is within her right to find outside help since she is well aware that Cambodia cannot find justice for her as all courts in Cambodia are controlled by Hun Sen.
Ne ah pleu 9.36AM, how dare you label yourself Khmer, do you think only you is Khmer? How about the rest?
You don't even know who you are and what you are talking about, don't label Khmer pleu again.
Like yuon Hanoi calls Khmer " Kho me " means Khmer pleu or langi langeu.
KI is the most important, rating 1 of all Camboidan current affairs showing to all Cambodians living overseas about their compatriots who are being oppressed, repressed, abused... by the murdeours Hun Sen CPP's murderous communist regime.
We strongly support you-KI.
USA is watching you HUN SEN!!!!!!!!!!!
UNCLE SAM WANTS YOU!
I WANTS THE TRUTH!
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
That letter is a pathetic attempt at obtaining credibility for KI-Media.
