Power to the Khmer People Series
Pay close attention, all you who love decency and respect your dignity and the dignity of others, who believe in democracy and human rights, who yearn for a better Cambodia joining the world community of 21st century, than a Cambodia still compared to the Khmer Rouge years. "... the power of the people is stronger than the people in power."
Young people, let's start a social revolution in Cambodia! Express yourself through your blog, your Facebook, KI Media... not meaningless rants, but develop and raise the quality of your voice.
Wael Ghonim is the Google executive who helped jumpstart Egypt's democratic revolution ... with a Facebook page memorializing a victim of the regime's violence. Speaking at TEDxCairo, he tells the inside story of the past two months, when everyday Egyptians showed that "the power of the people is stronger than the people in power."
Wael Ghonim is an Internet activist and computer engineer, Google’s Middle East and North Africa Marketing Manager. As "ElShaheeed," he started up an influential Facebook page that galvanized voices of protest in Egypt. In early 2011, he was detained by the Egyptian government for 11 days -- when freed after international pressure, he revealed his identity, and became a leading fugure in the youth revolution that forced Hosni Mubarak from power.

Why you should listen to him:
"Our revolution is like Wikipedia, okay? Everyone is contributing content, [but] you don't know the names of the people contributing the content. This is exactly what happened. Revolution 2.0 in Egypt was exactly the same. Everyone contributing small pieces, bits and pieces. We drew this whole picture of a revolution. And no one is the hero in that picture."

This is very inspiring talk. I wish that our Cambodian can listen and understanding what he means.
Please help translate it to Khmer and have a caption for what he speaks so our people in Cambodia can understand.
We want to see the Revolution 2.0 happens in our homeland. Our Cambodian are living in FEAR, but we can use this speech to show to our people that the "the power of the people is stronger than the people in power."
May Buddha bless Cambodian with great courage to stand up for their freedom.
"REVOLUTION CANNOT HAPPEN IN CAMBODIA" SAID PHAY SIPHAN DURING RADIO FREE ASIA CONVERSATION. BUT PHAY SIPHAN'S ATTITUDE MAY CAUSE THE REVOLUTION TO TAKE PLACE.
Better start loving dictator because your love for Democracy will only lead to a world Dictator in the end.
Will you think its freedom when one can't buy or sell without taking the number of the BEAST, (Dictator)?
A dictator now is a foreshadow of the real Dictator to come. Mark my word! It could come to pass in the next 15 years from now. This Dictator will rule over the whole world instead of one nation and people.
