i never eat samlor mchou but i eat noum ko youn at phum bouy dey. Mr. Sokchea Meas'was there,too next to my room he said noum ko Vietnamese test good.he is the only one say that in cambodai.so he get PHD from phum bouy dey.
When youn can manipulated some of the dumb asses PHD to believes a word youn is racist, those PHD are wasted, they don't know how to use their brains. So sad!
1:11PM, Those phD are given or bought not earned! None of the CPP officials including Ah Kwak Kbot Cheat Hun Xen earned their phD. They got their education from the Khmer Rouge jungle. If you ever listen to their speech you'll know what I mean.
There are sromoach yuon everywhere in srok xmer
Great to discuss about Yuon word. I would like to share my idea on that. Why Yuon and Why Vietnam? I agree that before January 7, 1979, Cambodian used this word Yuon for called Vietnamese people without pejorative connotation. But after 7 January 1979, Yuon word has a pejorative connotation. 3 Cambodian factions of resistance at Cambodian-Thai border used the word Yuon and have the bad connotation: Yuon meaning that a group of people who invade Cambodia, do bad thing against Cambodian people,all bad thing belong to Yuon. So, indirectly, when these people used this word it meaning a negative view on Vietnamese people. These people should recognize their mind and their volunteer to use this word. Some time, Opposition use this word Yuon, automatically and indirectly, for insult an other race. So, this word Yuon is changed their sense, content since 1979. Yuon is not a neutral word but the word has pejorative connotation agaisnt a race. It is indirectly a racist discrimation that Human right prohibt and you Opposition, democrate should use the right word and do not take the profit. Opposition and others people use this word for political profit also for make strenght their speech. You do something for yourself, for your group but you profit the sadness of people for your popularity. It is not criticism for construction.
Why vietnam? These word is neutral to call a country and a people conforming to the Inddependance and sovereignity of a country. Opposition would like others people respect their right but yourself do not respect the right of others? How come?
As a cambodian has not political temdency, i would like invite all people to rethink this word and for me the word Yuon has a pejorative connotation since 7 January 1979 and this word used strongly by the Cambodian resitance force include Mr Sam Rainsy himself. But as a servant should recognize the reality. Of course that when Thai or Vietnam call us others name, we are desappointed also. and if they use the pejorative word qualified to us Cambodian. How come? It is globalization and Democratization era, i think it is time to respect each other if you want other rewspect you and dispute culture or political profit for theri own parti is not Cambodian vision. Welcome your comment!!!!
Support your idea. Opposition and other people should recognize the truth.
KI Readers,
I found Pen Sovann's book for his biography is very interesting to read. The book reveals the two treason chiefs, namely: Hun Sen and Say Pouthong. They both stabbed their camerade Pen Sovann from the back. I pay $14 for the book and it is worth every penny I spend to learn about our Khmer leaders.
A Must-read book for anyone who is interested in learning more about why Hun Sen is strong man to oppress his own people to serve Youn Hanoi.
Here is the book title, and Thanks for Lok Li Deap who suggested me to read this book.
------------------------------
Autobiography of Pen Sovann and the Fundamental Reason of Cambodia's History by Pen Sovann and Neang Savun (Paperback - June 14, 2002)
ISBN-10: 0970895208
ISBN-13: 978-0970895202
http://www.amazon.com/Autobiography-Sovann-Fundamental-Cambodia%C2%BFs-History/dp/0970895208/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1265357326&sr=8-1
Everybody knows that,
all his live, Hun Sen lies, cheats, crooks and betrays, more than that he is just a coward, he afraid of Sam Rainsy, he doesn't dare to race against Sam Rainsy next election.
Someone could tell me there is something could proves that Hun Sen is brave, smart or honest ?
Mr. Phnom Penh Post dditor, Michael Hays, should issue a front page apology to the Khmer people! If not, go home! We certainly do NOT need your 'foreign expertise' on the term 'Yuon' and tell khmer how to speak their own language.
Youn" is not the only word use in Khmer language, Thai uses the word 'Youn' same as Khmer. If you are in Thailand, you say 'Youn' to the Thai people, they understand it, the word 'Youn' it means Vietnamese. Regarding the word 'Youn', I believe Loas and Burmese use the same as to Khmer and Thai.
I can speak Thai, and according to the Thai, they hat YOUN as well.
AK-KM
Why Yuon is the only word use in Khmer, if Siam, Lao and Burmese use it? How about kaduoy yuon?
Hello Phnom Penh Post,
What is your purpose that you want Khmer to analise this word, Yuon?
Red-Ant.
I heard people want to organize an organization represent the Khmerrouge Victimes!
One small purpose that sound so loud is about getting compansation as a group or and small token to organize a religion ceremony!
That sound so sad and scary to me!
Today Cambodia people kind of thinking that money can solve anything from get away from raping to muder, to accid attack!
Do we want to send a maasage that what Khmerrouge Victimes want is not justice and thruth but money? Money is more iportant than justice and life?
Mr. Chom Mey the Self called KhmerRouge Victime Who Only Dared to Loook At Duch in Eyes to Eyes, preferes some money and 50% justice!
What is 50% justice ?
Justice for the Camodian now (Since we all victimes) is the thruth of what happening! Since real thruth could never be found or not only just one thruth! we want to hear the lawyers crose exame of who saw or involve with the crime!Specially the higher
rank!
We want this process of justice to teach the next generation of how not to let the crime to be happening against from the point of view of the King down to a poor hadicape citizen!
We want notthing more thant gathering as many thruth as posible. NO money nor imprison any body! But what was wrong who did wrong, and how was wrong!
So the whole country or may be the whole world can create a system that prevent the crime of genocide to happen again any time any where else!
No MONEY for the wrong reason please! our country is corrupted to the core! They are selling justice for money and thing that for peace and forgiveness!
My relative lives can not be replaced by any money! But the thruths that help prevent the evil to strike again any where on earth!!

Hello Phnom Penh Post !
Everybody Knows that word Yuon.
Before and After January 7, 1979 people of Khmer or (Cambodia) alway call YUON.
hahahahahahahahaha......
Cambodia or Khmer @ U.S.A.
Hi Phnom Penh Post Editor,
fast all Cambodian people call YOUN and now you wanted teach us to call VIETNAM. Best proposal but the worst idea, do you believe you can teach khmer?
2:53 PM just woke up from a bad wet dream. He probably can't even properly speak Cambodian let alone knows her history and the neighbor's history. Youn was and is still a neutral term. Only when you add "ah" in front of it then it has a contemptuous tone but NOT derogatory. For example: hey 2:53PM - that is a neutral. Now hey ah 2:53PM - now it has contemptuous tone because I may be pissed at you for whatever reasons. But it has not chastised your family roots in any way.
This after January 7, 1979 theory of yours is just bullshit. It does not hold water. Also someone has mentioned that some of these foreign PhD's got manipulated into the believe that "youn" is a racist term, those PhD credentials are just garbage.
