Cambodia now is facing to three major
danger 1 Americanization 2 Chinezation 2 vietnamization
Please stop Theary Seng from posting her rubbish photo diaries here. This is neither news nor sensitive. It is deeply embarrassing for KI Media to keep posting these obscenities. How can anyone take serious a person who is organizing an event supposedly about “Speaking Truth to Power” and bragging about a diner invitation by “Senior Minister Om Yentieng”, who “in turn, invited us to dinner at Topaz restaurant two days later, Friday, where we enjoyed a private room of great food and great conversations, joined by his two sons (Nel and Terry) and his personable personal assistant Chheang Dara”.
Theary, don’t you even realize how disgusting and ridiculous this is? Have you lost the last bit of your mind and any decency (probably never had any)?. How can someone like this claim to speak on behalf of KR victims while boasting about their “lovely houses” and “elegant residencies” and not even realize how obscene they are. You are disgusting, disgraceful, and shameless. What little influence you have you use it for your personal advancement.
This event has been advertised like 10 times on KI Media but all it seems to have been is a ‘high’ society event serving Theary Seng’s self-serving agenda. Great job!
Bunch of hypocrites, that is what you are.

Mrs. Theary Seng and some stupid US Citizen might try to Americanize Cambodia, but not other well and good educated American citizen.
Theary, you are so very pathetic and you don’t even realize it.
Academic credentials or not, the whole event and its presentation here on KI Media are disgusting, talking about your fucking lovely residences and how ‘high’ society you are. Anything came out of this event, except for you hypocrites clapping each other’s shoulders ensuring yourselves how great and relevant you are.
Who is this supposed to serve except yourselves and your careers? What about speaking truth to power? Diner invitations at Topaz from the dictator’s poodle. And you don’t even realize how disgusting you are, how you are betraying your supposedly ‘fellow’ Khmers who are so much less fortunate than you, although not a bit less, probably much more, deserving.
Also, Theary, please stop pretending you have a PhD. That ‘doctorate’ of yours is a bachelor-equivalent practical degree. Nothing to boast about. Its not a PhD, a research degree. You have not published a single academic paper. You are just good at pretending you have academic credentials. And what does it tell about your intellectual capacity that you graduated along the prince of Spain? All it means is that you were not the only one who was there because of privileged backgrounds rather than own achievements. Please stop boasting about it. You got nothing to throw around with your name yet you use anything in reach, even the poor Khmer Rouge victims.
I would like to propose that Theary Seng uses the comment function on KI Media, like everyone else. If she has nothing interesting to say except posting photos of supposed members of ‘high’ society then her voice should not be privileged in this way. It’s been this way now for far too long. Please get real.
WOW, I'm speechless! thank you for saying that!
