Shoes bearing Cambodia's royal coat of arm for sale in the UK: Is it OK to be indignant?


A website in the UK (http://www.zazzle.co.uk/cambodia_coat_of_arms_shoes-167424832741202142) has advertised the sale of shoes bearing Cambodia's royal coat of arm (see photo above). Some find this use very offending and are calling for Cambodia to take measures against such use.

While we, at KI-Media, agree that the display of Cambodia's royal coat of arm on a pair of shoes is a subject of indignation, we would like to point out also that Cambodia herself is placed under more shameful situation when her territorial integrity and sovereignty is completely trampled by our neighbors with complete lack of indignation from Cambodia's leaders. While we may be indignant about the affront displayed by the shoes above, shouldn't Cambodians be even more indignant about the fate of their country first and foremost?

Please share your opinion.

Thank you!

No one can look down on you without your consent.

The CPP leaders give free license to have everyone look down on them and on Cambodians.

Blame us first before we look anywhere else.

Who cares about the coat of arms when the people along the border are pushed off their homes, the girls are sold into sexual slavery, the poor are evicted into desolation - all by their own government and leaders.

Yes, KI Media, you are right to say - let's get OUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT.

The coat of arms on UK shoes is just one reflection of an irresponsible, incompetent, indecent, vile leadership who DO NOT CARE FOR THEIR OWN - for their people, for their own dignity, for their land, for their present, for their future.

I for one will vote LOUDLY this regime out of power. I hope you will join me.

Beautiful shoes. What this self-debasing monarchy deserves. Look at the shameless, useless Prince Ranaridh, attempting politics again. Or prostrating eagerly to be used again in politics.

Where are you leading us to? How?
Voiting another dictatorship party to power? Or are you calling us to vote for you?

In my viewpoint, it's just a missplaced patriotism.

We must be united. We cannot fight among ourselves as Khmers and Khmers. This is the only one theory of winning against the enemies from west and east.

Do not blame King. The vast majority of Khmers in Cambodia highly respect King. That is the fact. King Sihamoni has been highly respected by international leaders from around the world. That is the fact, too. King Sihamoni is far and far better than UK king in every aspect. He is straight and firm. No one around can manipulate him. This king is different from other king.

The signed on the shoes should be reversed.

There is no difference between those shoes and the abuse on the monarchy in KI Media. And they deserve it, however.

This is a symbol of "Preah Chau Krong Kampuchea ព្រះចៅ​​ ក្រុងកម្ពុជា" It is not just for the today Cambodia, but also for all parts of former Khmer territorial.
It sounds​​​, the caucasians love the Khmer people and Khmer King.

Ambassador Bora made an ass out of Cambodia diplomacy in London for quite sometimes now.Who knows this game may start by Yuon's company since Yuon made shoes for international market nowadays.So this may be a challenge for boring Bora to have something to say and do to collect his browny point from Brother Number One Hun Xen blinded belief in Hanoi's.

As a khmer man , I feel so offended after I looked at those shoes . I am not a big fan of Manarchy Government , especially the present Government but that simbol represents all khmer in and out of the Country . I like to see Hun Sen do something about it . if you are a khmer man and you do that , I bet Hun Sen will send his guys to get you right away . Will see about this one , if Hun Sen is brave enough to stand up to foriegners outside cambodia.

Is it legal for any private company to use the royal coat of arm of a country on its products, especially on shoes, without the consent of that country?
If it is illegal who in the Cambodian government is responsible for allowing this to happen. Look like somebody does not care about the consequence as long as he makes some quick bucks.

Tith Sothea is a coward . He blames KI instead of going after the person who came up with the idea about making those shoes . Tith Sothea, people judge you by your words and your action. In this case, maybe your leaders don't decerve much respect from others , that's why they made those shoes . Don't you think so ?
