Your Majesty Samdech Ta King Norodom Sihanouk,

Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen,


Thank you for your both kindness and understanding.

What we need is the prevention methods, not to let this type of accident happen again in the 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 “ and other type of DRUGS from Thailand and Vietnam?
Can His Majesty 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 on to the future, in the name sake of true Khmer citizen.
Can Samdech Hun Sen kindly ask all 5 millions 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 settled 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 come to rescue us from Pol Pot, and you don’t want to return home, it is not right according 23rd October 1991 Paris Peace Agreement, can all of you go back to your country now.
Vietnamese illegal immigrants, you see because 5 millions of you inside Cambodia, it makes us too crowded and we wasted our lives at Koh Pich without good reasons.

May almighty God Jesus Christ accept all the victim souls into heaven too.

My condolences to all the victim's family.

Regards,

Water Festival become a real sadness.
This is like Buddha said , while we
have to enjoy our life, we have to
beware the suffer and sadness ,it will be remain with us all the time .

Life is impermanent and filed with
suffer and sadness . While we are
still searching for happiness, but
suffer and sadness will remain with
us at the time .
So we have to enjoy our lives as if
there is no tomorrow .
Everyone should adopt compassionate
that is our morality. This morality
is the compassion that makes all
peoples peaceful and quiet in mind.
These words of conscience are those
whom understands morality and are
in need of them .
There are many things in this world
that was well and perfect, but imperfection is reality, this is life on earth.
There are many dust that covers our
heart, as it clouds our soul, we are blinded on the good things that
surrounds us all .
The clouded judgments of gossips
and jealousy towards one another
breaks the chain of morality .
This dust is everywhere , inside
and outside its covers us .
Even though we are able to ring our skins but yet our hearts are still contaminated . Not soap
or water will clean our heart .
So we frantic and forget all the
right things .
What is dust that sticks in our
soul ? It is the temper of each
persons that calls the dust to
overlay our heart .
Life is transient. We feel uncomfortable and worried ,living
in this world . There are three
main things that we had to worry
about . First poverty ,second is
beauty and we desire for a luxurious life . Third is death,
this is the finality of life .
These reason are hard and harder
to understand .Everything that we
don't desire comes forth in front
of us and our most desirable are
outreach .
The truest ends ends of life is
to know that was never ends.
Live very day as if it were your
last .
The boundaries which divide life
from death are at the best shadowy and vague . Who shall say where was one ends where the other begins ?
Make no doubt of it to have an unhappy life is to have failed in
life . It is the consummate error and around the death - bed of such as the once very angels weep.

I am KHMER REVERE MA USA I would
to share the sadness to all Victim and families .
THANKS GOD BLESS TO ALL VICTIM
AND FAMILIES .

I just want to share some of my opinion and point of view and had so many doubts about the incident which I don't think it's an accident at all.

Prime Minister Hun Sen declared of giving the money to the dead and the injuries families. I wonder where the money is donating from and why he’s offering so much money for this cause. How about out of all the other incidents Cambodian families going through.

What cause of the stampede the first place? Have you noticed people fell unconscious and also have internal bleeding? Why was so many people died almost instantly in such a short time? Why was the government official closed all other bridges and leave only this tiny bridge opened or it was a well prepared electric shock bridge so they can cook everyone in one shock and get rid of all these new educator generation?. Why was there isn’t any other nationalities beside Khmer died? Don’t you think this is clearly a set up a trap? I guess there must be a combination of a poisionous smoke or gas and electric shock all together.

Don’t forget the old saying: Khmer mouy-soun Youn moy-tuuk. Or kom-rir kaa pop teuk tea aung.
