KI-Media deleted the following comment along with a few others that did not cheer on Theary Seng. This is very sad and I am profoundly disappointed.

KI Media has become little more than Theary Seng's photo diary. There is so much politics going on yet KI Media has nothing better to do than promoting pretty Theary's pop star ambitions.

It is time that KI Media makes its position on Theary Seng promotion public or better gets back to focusing on its mission.

Don't let her destroy what you have worked so hard to accomplish, the confidence of a large and active readership ready to make a difference for the common good, not just for self-promotion.

note the irony that this is supposedly about speaking truth to power yet Theary Seng abuses what little power she has to censor comments on KI-Media and push her self-promotion.

Theary Seng is also a member of KI, she posted it herself.
