Crocodile Tears OR Tears of Self-Pity

By Khmer Democrat, Phnom Penh
Dictators are Wimps and Asses Series

“Crocodile tears”


To weep crocodile tears is to put on an insincere show of sorrow.

The allusion is to the ancient notion that crocodiles weep while devouring their prey. Crocodiles do indeed have lachrymal glands and produce tears to lubricate the eyes as humans do. They don't cry with emotion though. Whatever experience they have when devouring prey we can be certain it isn't remorse.

OR

“Real tears” of self-pity


The bloody weight of 30 years of bloody, dictatorial rule along with family/CPP members gone wild - came crashing down in a flood of emotions of self-pity.


Strongman? God-king?

No. No, only a man after all, who just happened to be cursed by his Khmer Rouge history; by his innocent allure and enthusiasm to be a Khmer front for the invading Vietnamese army and un-creatively imprisoned by it; by the confluences of domestic-regional-international events swirling out of proportion to his middle school/jungle education; by family members who lack decency and proper socializing; by democracy of diverse voices and opinions.

So, yes, if they are real tears, they are tears of self-pity under the crushing weight of having to rule violently for 30 years.

Not tears for Cambodia or Cambodians, or else we wouldn’t have had the following:


-
K-5 plan

-
March 1997 Grenade Massacre

-
1997 Summary Executions of Funcinpec during the coup d’etat

-
Violence against Monks and other Peaceful demonstrators to protest elections fraud in 1998

-
Dey Krahom land evictions

-
Boeung Kak land evictions

-
Thun Bunly, Chea Vichea, Ho Sok etc.

-
Violent fatal escapades of nephews run wild

-
Love-triangle murder of Piseth Pilika

-
Sex-trafficking, drug-trafficking, environmental raping by his military and tycoons under his watch
-
So on and so forth…

TIME TO STEP DOWN.

He cried for real because he just found out that a few of close relatives were among those victims. If he cried a crocodile tears then he is still a damn good pretender trying to fool Khmer people that he really cares for them deep down to the bone.

Khieu Samphan also started out good, then thought killing was the only solution.

some mean, political comments here shows a clear different mentality between some frog in the well mentality of the khmer and those of western, civilized countries. in cambodia, it is almost a mean culture or old tradition to make fun of sad, crying people, whereas in the western society, a scene like this brings a lot of compassion, forgiveness, grief, etc, etc... yes, it shows the different of mentality in cambodia and the western society, really! no wonder, there are no justice in cambodia, continue suffering in cambodia, etc, all probably due to the way some khmer people think, by poking fun, and look down on those misfortunate, grieving people. wake up, people, it's time to shift away from this old, stone age national mentality of khmer people, i mean it! it's not even funny to poke fun like this, you know! it shows people are uneducated, angried, mad, jealous, envious, pessimistic, and perhaps crazy and psychological unfitting to be a leader, educator, etc due to this kind of unprofessional conduct. where is your code of ethics or code of conduct, people? no wonder, they used capital punishment for some people never learned! don't be so stupid, ok, wake up!

imagine if america think like some stone age or frog in the well mentality type of people, the world would still be in the stone age or the dark ages, etc, we would have scientists, explorers, inventors, builders, advanced science, new innovation, higher standard of living, etc, etc, really! people have to stop and think about what they are about to say, it is so ignorant and so out of this world, you know! i don't want to call names, but you know what i mean!

Come on people, it's a real tear can you tell? But, it is not from the sorrow of the Diamond Island Bridge's tragedy. It is from his instinct that his days as bullshit strongman is nearly over. I can feel it people his days is over.

If his day of prime minister is over, who will replace him?

Prepare to be Prime minister Son Chhay, Mu Sochea, etc.

Maybe this is the wake up call for Cambodians... commit suicide slowly under this regime, or built a new brighter future under an intelligent, capable leadership of Sam Rainsy and his team of dynamic leaders (Mu Sochua, Son Chhay, Kong Korm, etc.)

Hun Sen pretended to cry, but he does not care of the Khmer people instead he laughed. He is really hypocritical. Hun Sen's government and clicks are incompetent in all areas.

Thank you for your criticism. I am a peace lover, and wish to be a peace maker. I love peace. I continue to pray for our beloved country, Cambodia, for peace. What ever will be happenned, we must avoid war again.

Peaceful solution is the right direction. Vengeance and anger are not the solution. Vengeance and anger are type of the war, too. They are out of date. Fair Solution and resignation are update.

As always, I am proud to be Cambodian, Khmer. I have always advised my children to get high education and return to Cambodia to serve their people. They listen to me or not is not the case. The point is to keep reminding them that they are aways Khmers and forever.

I always have a dream to go back to live in our motherland.

LOVE from Khmer abroad, USA.

How many thousands died during the K-5 Plan? And all the other violent, cruel acts against human rights?

And to raise these issues, you 12:08 AM are accusing KI of mean-spirited?! Let's get our priorities check, here.

As for the other comments re sweat, live in reality will you. Tears are tears. Crocodile, self-pity or otherwise is the issue here.

Take 12:22 AM as a case in point of the quality of the Hun Sen/CPP crowd.

12:08AM,
All we say what can this tragedy be different from K-5 Plan, March 1997 Grenade Massacre, or 1997 Summary Executions of Funcinpec during the coup d’etat etc...This is the man has liver that color changeable. Get it? in Khmer expression say Ah Thliam Khmae Ah Thliam Sor. This time he is pretending as a Thliam Sor person. That all.

To 11:16 PM,
If you check a Longman dictionary of English Idioms (page 68) you will see its definition: crocodile tears = insincere tears; pretended show of sorrow. Get it?

30 years are too long to stay in power ;if Hun Xen remains on and on,he becomes a dictator.We knew that he is very greedy to stay put with power.Hun Xen is pretending to be crying.Hhe is not afraid to kill Khmer people,and let Viet immigrants in.The Khmer people in Cambodia and oversea knew Hun Xen pretty well about his physical,mental attitude.If Hun Xen is a good leader,how come million around the world and in Cambodia hate him so much?Hun Xen did so many bad things to his own people.

Your Majesty Samdech Ta former King Norodom Sihanouk,

Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen,

Thank you for your both kindness and understanding.
What we need is prevention methods, not to let this type of accident happen again in the future.

It also makes me very worried to see so much alcohol allowed to enter or be produced in our beloved Kingdom of Cambodia? What about “ YA BA “ and other types of DRUGS from Thailand and Vietnam?

Can His Majesty Samdech Ta and Samdech Hun Sen stop all sorts of drugs coming to Cambodia? The accident may not be related to drugs and alcohol but just some thing that I could not sleep peacefully from now on to the future, in the names sake of true Khmer citizen.

Can Samdech Hun Sen kindly ask all 5 million Vietnamese illegal immigrants to peacefully return to Vietnam, so Koh Pich will not be too crowded more and more every day, every month and every year to come.
All Vietnamese illegal immigrants can easily come in and settle inside Cambodia even though they already have their own country Vietnam.

When Cambodia is too crowded, definitely we Khmer people can not go to settle inside Vietnam, can we?
Please Vietnamese, you said you came to rescue us from Pol Pot, and you don’t want to return home, it is not right according to 23rd October 1991 Paris Peace Agreement, can all of you go back to your country now.

Vietnamese illegal immigrants, you see because 5 million of you are inside Cambodia, it makes us too crowded and we wasted our lives at Koh Pich without good reasons.

Your Vietnamese Communism expansionist mind in Cambodia, is to give an excuse to China mainland to occupy your Spratly Islands, Parcel Islands, the whole of your Eastern sea border and perhaps the Northern border sooner or later.

5 million Vietnamese illegal immigrants in Cambodia, please go back home to defend your country from Chinese mighty economic invasion.

May I pray to God and the Lord Jesus Christ that those who have lost loved one will be comforted.

My condolences to all the victim's family.

Regards,

Kulen Monorom

Too late for him to cry. He should have cried a river when OCIC was illegally robbing Koh Pich, the land that belong to th State of Cambodia and all its population for their own personal gain.

That land never belonged to Pung Khieu Se, Hun anything, or CPP. They robbed and stole outright State and people's property.

Dear All Readers:

Hun Xen believes in its superstitions (Bramah). He is willing to do everything (even its people's lives) to secure his fake power (not including his visible beliefs).
He pretends that is the accident, but remember the tragedy is the planned tragedy:

- Authority was not present (until 1 hour or so later)
- No true investigation being taken seriously, instead the scene was cleaned up very quickly.
- Hun Xen and his PigHD Bun Rany has 70% share of the whole Koh Pich development, followed by Kim Soy (Khmer Rough Treasurer) and now is the Canadia Bank's owner, Kith Meng...etc.
- The rescue team and authorities were not responsible for the event and let the deaths escalated..
- Hun Xen suddenly came out and declared Nov 25 (instead of Nov 22) as the national holiday.
...etc.

Look at things carefully. Hun Xen pretends crying in front of the public, but that is not the true pain and sympathy. He used to kill more than just that number of people during K-5, 97' coup...etc you name it.

Just a school of thoughts for you and Pro-CPPs.

We need a true responsible leader.

My deep regret for Khmer citizens and wish them all rest in peace and heaven.

Khmer Son!

HIGH TIME TO STEP DOWN AND TAKE BUN SAM HEANG WITH YOU BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. MR. HUN SEN, DO YOU WISH TO END YOUR LIFE LIKE YOUR HERO SDACH KORN? YOU ARE NO MATCH WITH HIM. YOUR HEAD WOULD NOT WORTH A PENNY.RIGHT OR WRONG SDACH KORN WAS A KHMER,WORKED WITH KHMERS, RISED WITH KHMERS, AND FINALLY BEHEADED BY HIS KHMER ARMY COMMANDER. YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE THE
SAME HONOUR AS SDECH KORN. PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE ABILITY TO CHOP YOUR HEAD ARE; YUON, YOUR BODY GUARD COMMANDERS, YOUR WIFE, YOUR SONS, YOUR DAUGHTERS AND POSSIBLY THE IN-LAWS...THINK ABOUT IT, TIME IS RUNNING OUT. bYE111
