Protocol misstep or fervent display of subservience to Hanoi?

During the current visit of India's President Patibha Devisinh Patil to Cambodia, a large billboard in Phnom Penh proclaims the friendship between the two countries. As the protocol dictates, the sign bears the message in Khmer first, followed by the same message in another language below the Khmer message. Although, a Hindi message should be used, here, an English message is displayed instead.

HOWEVER...

What enrages Cambodians the most is the fact that, when Viet President Nguyen Minh Triet visited Cambodia earlier this year, the same billboard displayed the message in Vietnamese first above the Cambodian message. It is unclear if this was an honest mistake or a message of subservience to Hanoi, the benefactor of the CPP ruling party.

What's good about this billboard?
It comes into a cheating sign that suckers provide for nepotism only.

Please do not make this out as cambodian tradition!

Just get down to work on cambodian issues that people face, everyone WILL surely notice that.

Clowning around is not the way to go, cambodians!

The CPP were thinking of actually putting the pictures of the two Vietgs on top and move the king down below. It would look even better if the King were to dress in a Vietnamese robe. How much lower n the Kingdom comes? What a joke! I feel so sad for the King. It shows the whole nation are full of dumbs, starting from right there.

I think the council of His Majesty King must find out why Viet languages are placed above Khmer languages.

Excellency Kong Samol suppose to protect KING, Then he must find out and punish the concerned department or Minister who made the billboard.

Sisiwath Thomica should invole in this case. Do not tolerate the Minister who made this kind of mistake or by purpose. Fire him. This is the way to save face of the nation and Khmers, not yuon.

I hab´ve notice those banner:

1) with China and the other countries president: They use Khmer language first, Chinese or home language of those countries
2) with Viet. THE VIET FIRST AND THEN KHMER LANGUAGE

That is clear Kampuchea is the new Colony of VIET. No one reject this signal, exept Youn' puppet.

I have never saw this Banner in the Globe. All that is the for Khmer's brain, if they dn't react . Viet will take the whole Khmer nearby......

this kind of guest signs should be uniformed in cambodia. viet/youn shouldn't get special treatment by some incompetent authority. the ministry of information who oversees this should have corrected it. my god, stop showing favoritism to viet/youn, you know! wake up already!
