Translated from Khmer by Soch

SRP MP Ho Vann criticized the re-opening of Pich Bridge to traffic, saying that the 100-day commemoration for the victims is not even held yet and the bridge is already opened, at least the re-opening should wait until after the 100-day memorial is observed first. On the other hand, Mr. Sok Touch, an independent political observer, said that the re-opening of the bridge is done with the aim of benefitting the [development] company. He said that, according to religious belief, prior to the 100-day memorial, the spirits still dwell on the bridge so there should not be any commercial gain that takes precedence over the spirits of the victims. He said that there should be 2 or 3 additional bridges built and that the current one be left as a historical monument and a tragic experience.

Pol Pot Khmer young.........CA said...

I would like to Know the "General Age" for this Forum who leaves comment on this KI media blogg. Are these commentators old or young, which generation? 60's, 70's, 80's 90's, 2000's....

Is anyone can give me some insights?

I grew up in Pol Pot's era. I saw "VC entered Cambodia in 1979's"... I thought they were our real saviors - until now I had seen our history and realized that "wow" Vietnamese are vicious and savages in their blood.

Pol Pot Khmer young!

What is a 100 days commemoration?
what is that for?
Is it Theravada belief to commemorate to the passed away?

I do know that 7 days prayer is a tradition acknowledgement for the spirit's realisation nthat he or she is no longer alive.

Anyone knows?

Khmer must know who formed Khmer Issarak, Khmer Viet Minh, Khmer Viet Congs, and CPP.

Stupid superstitious belief. The SRP just try to find every excuse to criticize the government for everything they do. I say screw it, life goes on. You can't put life and business on hold for 100 days just for your stupid superstition.
