I don't realy care about the water festival because its got nothing to do with the religion or custom . I realy care about the people who lost their homes due to the eviction and people who got nothing to eat because they lost their jobs and got no land to produce rice.
4:33 we dont care what you think
Previous article, I could see so many of our cambodians concerned and frustrated with the roles of our king Sihamoni have not been fullfiling.
It could be many constraints that our reluctant king has to face.
Being angry and abusive do not help the circumstances.
May I ask you, as we all cambodians from different backgrounds but always care for others who are more disadvantaged,to refrain ourselve from that , and understand the fact that the king was agreed as part of package deal"Ranarith posted as head of assembly and Hun Sen insisted to be PM. That was the power deal.
However the consequences are undisirable to cambodians.
Putting things into perspective that we each should have a role to assist including Monarch against being swallowed and misery.
I believe our constitution is our main platform to be united, as intended by polical parties and donors.So is our king, his active social roles are very critical to our shaping cambodia.
Please bo focused on that,simply study our constitution and find each role to stick to for our achievement.Be kind and put foreward the tasks the king needs fullfiled with encouragement.
Beware that our king is NOT symbolic as people manipulted so.
Articles 8 and 9 varify that roles.
My apology for any inconveniences, but frank and amicable reminding.

4:33 ! What is costom to you? Eat capic or neukmam?
Go shit 4:33!
i think cambodia could do more to beautify the riverbanks at the capital. they need to build a lot of sidewalks and concrete roadways, etc...
You guys in Cam are having so much fun, I wish I could be there and joined in the fun too. Aust
Happy Bon Om Touk to all khmer people. Include Gay king and One eye leader and fat ass lady.
