អ្នកធ្វើចេះតែខុស អ្នកមិនធ្វើសោះចេះតែត្រូវ។
គេធ្វើចេះតែខុសចិត្ត បើចង់បានប្រណិតធ្វើខ្លួន
ឯង។មនុស្សដប់នាក់ ចរិតក៏ដប់ដែរ។
ដេរមាត់បាវគេដេរបាន តែមាត់មនុស្ស គេដេរ
មិនបានទេ។
សូមធ្វើការហាត់តទៅទៀត ដើម្បីរក្សាសម្បត្តិ
កេរ្តិ៍មរតករបាំខ្មែរ។
សូមអរគុណ របាំត្រុដិខ្មែរនៅឡុងប៊ិច។

This cameraman must be drunk. Don't you how to video the scene? if you don't, don't try to post this kind of video. The rule of video tape or taking photo, you never point your camera against the sun. If you do that, the face will be dark. To compensate this, you need to have some kind of reflector to reflect the sun. My 4 years old daughter takes better photos than this.

If Hun Sen doesn't appear in the French court, should he be arrested by international police by failing to appear in court?

One way or another we should get rid of this Youn Vietminh, Hun Sen.
