More than 330 festival-goers were killed in a stampede Monday on a bridge in Phnom Penh. The Prime Minister called it the country’s worst tragedy since the Khmer Rouge.
"This is the biggest tragedy since the Pol Pot regime," said Prime Minister Hun Sen in a live television broadcast early Tuesday morning.
Pol Pot was the leader of the Khmer Rouge regime that ruled Cambodia between 1975 and 1979, leaving up to a quarter of the population dead.
At least 339 people died in the stampede, and more than 300 were injured. The circumstances that triggered the stampede remain unclear.
Millions of people were in the streets for the third, and final, day of the Water Festival, which marks the reversal of the flow between the Tonle Sap and Mekong rivers.

HUN SEN ! why do you talk about KR ? Are you crazy ?
Yes, Hun Sen is crazy and you are very smart. You are a fucking idiot so shut the fuck up.
5:09AM, I agree with you.
Because corruption in building Koh Pich brige , the brige is not standard.
I agree with all above comment.
Because of corruption under Hun Sen
regime the construction of Koh Pich brige in not standard.
So corruption under Hun Sen regime measn to kill Cambodian.
This is Hun Sen long plan , and this is one of other million plans to kill Khmer .
It is time to help these fellow Cambodian first.
But do not forget to prevent more Khmer from being more killed by corruption .
Koh pich brigde is not standard because of corruption .
So Koh Pich bridge is an incident .
But corruption of building Koh Pich is not an accident it is a long , long plan to kill the whole Khme people and society.
I wanna to know what the causes of the dead to my fellows Khmer citizen. Why this such an accident happen to my poor country. Our population were less then the enemies and we keeps dies more every day. I'm feel sympathize to those victim and these families. May your soul rest in peaces, love your all.
Pol pot is the worst in history.
Hun Sen is the worst in modern day human history.
Because Khmers are so stupid and that is it. Eat more brain food, animals. Next life don't be Khmer.
K-5 #2??!!!
Koh Pich bridge must change its name to corrupted bridge.
Because Koh Pich bridge is not standard becasueit is builded with corruption.
So corruption is a good weapon for Hun Sen to kill Khmer people.
Your Royal Highness Samdech Ta,
Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen,
Thank you for your both kindness and understanding.
What we need is prevention method, not to let this type of accident happen again in future.
It also make me very worry to see so much alcohol allowed to enter or produced in our beloved Kingdom of Cambodia? What about “ YA BA “ from Thailand? Can Samdech Ta and Samdech Hun Sen stop all sort of drugs coming to Cambodia? The accident may not related to drugs and alcohol but just some thing that I could not sleep peacefully from now to the future in the name sake of Khmer citizen.
May almighty God Jesus Christ accept all the victim souls into heaven too.
My condolences to all the victim's family.
Regards,
