"I thought nothing can shock me anymore...till earlier today near Metro Cafe, seeing this man crippled from birth, now alone in the world begging while riding on a skate board alongside heavy, crazy traffic of Sisowath Quay. I asked him his ...name which surprised him that someone actually spoke with him. it took him at least a full minute and even then it was not convincing that he actually know what his name is, as he never had to respond to its use... He finally said 'Chanthan'. For those who rightly wondered, yes, I asked his permission to take these photos and for their public uploading." - Theary Seng on Facebook

I really hate the Government of Cambodia under Yuon CPP/Idiot Hun Sen. I should let the world know about this. Thank you, Ki-Media. It is very important that the world organizations and communities should know the situation of Cambodia similar to this. I feel very sorry for this man who has been victimized and ignored.
Someone told me, if we don't want to be sad during a trip into Cambodia ,the most important thing that is Don't be aware for what that is happening around .
Yes,I am supporting your ideas.
All poor Khmer people are not in
Cambodia.They went out to beg food
in Thailand.
They looked for jobs in Thailand
(80,000 legal workers);and how about illegal Khmer workers?
200,000 in Korea;65,000 in Taiwan;
Malaysia;Singapore,and on and on.
How stupid Hun Sen govt is!
All the poor Khmers people go to other country to work because there isn't any work for them, while the hundred thousand of youn workers come to work and live in Cambodia illegally.
Well done Hon Xen.
This is about a man who was lame from birth and people don't think much of him as a human being even to inquire that he even has a name.
I wonder if the so called "holy monks" ever made any supplication for him about his lot in life?
This has nothing to do with bad karma, this has everything to do with sin. Sin is a disease that can cause every kind of sickness both in physical & spiritual in a person's life. If sin can be ridden off from every human being on this earth, then disease & sicknesses are nowhere to be found. And this world would be a better place. And I wouldn't be preaching anymore!
Preacher
Ms. Seng, all countries around the world has this situations, even in USA, Euro, Asia., etc,,,,

to, 820am
why? u so much afraid of vietnmese
SUCKED, SUCK, SUCK,
That man is a product of Theary Seng.
THey saw a lot of Khmer beggars in Bangkok and in LA either, they are so poor and pityful, how they can find a fuck?
To animals 9:41AM and 9:51AM stop barking nonsense will you? You two animals seem have no human heart inside you. I show this picture to an American friend she just cried because she never thought Khmer people go through their live like this. But you two animals I believe you are product of khmer but possess no khmer blood that's why.
This is Hun Sen and his families fault to make this poor human being live like this.
I saw this man near Psar Chas yesterday. I give money to him too.
it's sad to see a handicapped person suffer like this! i don't mind helping people like this, really handicapped, real disability. if i see people like him on the street of phnom penh, i will give him $100.00 or more. cambodia ought to set up a social services agency to help people like this, you know!
Yeah you would give $100.00 or more and many more will come to you. I don't think you are that rich welfare recipient.
Miss Theary Seng, I am glad that you see this situation..I was born and I have been living in PP since 1979, I have seen more pictures than that..and I think now those pictures have been reduced...
It means that it is worth to improve Cambodia's economic rather than fight your 3rd of 4th case in Khmer Rouge court...If those cases are brought into the court, then another instability occurs, and you will see the image like this more and more...
i told you, war is so destructive! they should ban all landmine in the world, really!
Koh Tral Island must not be forgotten
By Ms. Rattana Keo
Why do Koh Tral Island, known in Vietnam as Phu Quoc, a sea and land area covering proximately over 30,000 km2 [Note: the actual land size of Koh Tral itself is 574 square kilometres (222 sq miles)] have been lost to Vietnam by whose treaty? Why don’t Cambodia government be transparent and explain to Cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?
Cambodian armies are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 on the Thai border and what's about over 30,000km2 of Cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian armies you are decide the fate of your nation, Cambodian army as well as Cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?
Koh Tral Island, the sea and land area of over 30,000 square kilometres have been lost to Vietnam by the 1979 to 1985 treaties. The Cambodian army at front line as well as all Cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are Cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protecting a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group but disguising as protecting the Khmer nation?
The Cambodian army at front lines suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition and their families have no health care assistance, no securities after they died but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning system with message from young girls, have first class medical care from oversea medical treatments, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make the Cambodian people suffer everyday.
Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that resulted in the loss over 30,000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why they are not being transparent and brave enough to inform all Cambodians and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't they include Koh Tral (Koh Tral size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen and bigger than Singapore [Note: Singapore's present land size is 704 km2 (271.8 sq mi)]) with heap of great natural resources, in the Cambodian education system?
Look at Hun Sen's families, relatives and friends- they are billionaires, millionaires. Where did they get the money from when we all just got out of war with empty hands [in 1979]? Hun Sen always say in his speeches that Cambodia had just risen up from the ashes of war, just got up from Year Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% of innocent Cambodian people are so poor and struggling with their livelihood every day?
Smart Khmer girl, President Ms. Rattana Keo,
I felt so sad about the khmer people.
This is not the country of khmer...
used to be.Mr big guy there ..open your eye to see your own people.I believe god has eye.....one of these day...you will die....by your own people.
