This woman she thinks she is beautiful and wealthy, and famous. She has been helping a lot by her Whiteman. I could care less about her. She is very arrogant, she thinks she well educated.
Ms. LOUNG UNG,
are you khmer ? Do you know that Viet has been trying to annex Cambodia ?

President Obama urges Americans to use words that heal, not wound
In Tucson to eulogize the victims of last weekend's tragic shooting, President Obama somberly called for an end to the political blame game that erupted in the wake of the tragedy and urged Americans not to use it as "one more occasion to turn on each other."
How is about Cambodia ?
Can KING or any Cambodian urge Cambodians to use words that heal, not wound ?
Contrarily, CPP has celebrated January 7.
Prince N Ranarigh already sent a letter to join HUN SEN.
Loung Ung, think about that if you are really Khmer.

Doesn't make no scens your comment.
Loung actually is more Chinese than Khmer! She is proud of her Chinese blood! Her mom is just a whore! Her Chinese mom marry her dad because he is rich! Chinese will do anything to get rich!
10:20am only your mom would do that.
I feel like all the comments above come from women bloggers ... is it more difficult to see other Khmer womens successful? Are Theary Seng, Ms. Ung Long, etc have any negative impact to Khmer development for being speak out of their viewpoint and their experiences?....If not...should allow them to be what they want to be! And of course I hope you will do the same - speak your mind..let the world know who you are and what you made off! ...What does it means to you for being a Khmer women? Share with us? Forget about chinese...more Khmer are mix with Chinese...even I the dark of the darkest...still have a chinese blood within me!
Looking forward to your respond!
Half fiction, half-ass truth. the story did not add up well, but successfully fooled the "intellectual" American readers. She probably also lowered (changed) her age in the story.

The question should be what positive impact Ms. 'porcelain' skin Luong has had on Khmer women and their poverty. I know her book did well for own economics.
I read your book means that Vietnam help Cambodia. You must correct it.
Vietnam behind killing your father.
not Khmer Rouge, otherwise you read the source of Khmer Rouge.
From the ancient time, vietnam never help. I know your mother Chinese Cambodian and your father was original Khmer. welcome home
Chao Tao tzu
Loung Ung is selfish. Khmer women are petriotic not like Loung Ung.
Loung Un! Go to sleep and take care of yourself
