According to the National Committee for Disaster Management in Cambodia, 138 people have been killed by lightning during the first eight months of this year. 95 people were killed by lightning last year.

Committee spokesman Keo Vy said that during the electrical storms, most of the victims were standing in open fields and taking shelter under trees. The other victims were using electrical appliances during the lightning storms.

Keo said, “Although we cannot stop lightning, we can help reduce the dangers caused by it.” A lightning bolt can contain 100 million volts and can raise the temperature surrounding it to 27,000 °C.

Lightings should have struck all of the corrupted people of the current government, starting from Hun Sen, Bun Rany, Hun To, So An, Sok Kong, Cham Praseth, Tea Banh, Heng Samrin, Chea Sim, and many more, etc.

According to Buddhism, I am bad/evil for cursing others to death, but tha's OK. If the power of nature can get rid of all those who have harmed and hurt Khmer people, as I curse them, I will gladly accept the consequences of my evil deed.
