Had you been in HELL before?
None of us can get away from facing HELL after our deaths, before our souls will be sent to purgatory and/or heaven, HELL will be the first place we will be faced.

I don't know who was Vann Nath, even if he lied or hidden his actions, he will never can lie or hide when he will be facing HELL. We all will be the same.

DO NOT Guarantee that HELL is not a bad place, until you will be sent to there, your soul will be tortured and tormented by fire and snakes...

Have Mercy on everyone, because NONE of us can get away from it.

With all due respect, please don't get me wrong, but why didn't Van's wife sell some of the property, since it was only $500 collected? From this photo, the wife could have sold a small share of the property to for the late hospitalization. And why the wife and family had to have him die?
If I were his wife, I would have sold the property for the medical bill. After all, this house seems to be a rather large house, when the wife used only $500 for the medical bill and let him die.

If you wanted to say GOD not good, I want to add this. Our Almighty GOD can do everything, can take our lives and can keep our lives. Our times are in GOD's hands. His time or your time or my time or everyone's time is in GOD's hands.

How do you know his wife didn't? If what you said was true, then it's greedy on his wife part. Is she alone? No.

I think she was heavily depended on overseas financial support to help with the medical bill, that's why she did not bother to use what he has to help her late husband. Of course, there's a greed.

Dear young generation,

Don’t forget that Yuon killed many innocent khmers.

Yuon pretend themselves that they came to liberate you, but were not. They attempted to annex your country, but because of resistance forces, they have to give up and change the strategy to annex your country again. With this new strategy, they do not use their guns to annex your country. What are their new tactics and strategy? You are the intelligent students. Talk and discuss with your friends. You will find the right answer. So far, You don't find the right answer yet.

You are the young generation. You must learn the right history and take responsibility to protect your own country from being annexed by Thai and Yuon.

From me who has been watching all of you

If money was the issue for his illness, why didn't his wife sell some of the property to take care of him instead of relying on the $500 collected?

Was greed played a roll on Mr. Vann's wife's part?
