Theary Seng,

You are certainly to be congratulated for your work in spreading out the news about a violation of human rights in Cambodia committed by the very government that should have, as part of its duty, defended it.

"Be a ripple of hope" is a powerful message and you are certainly a ripple of hope, yourself. Through your work at CIVICUS and together with other people of the same mind in Cambodia, you have begun a journey to empower the Khmer people, which is a necessary component for changes and a special ingredient in our attempt to force the government of PM Hun Sen to be accountable for every action it takes without due consideration to the welfare of those affected.

Once again, I take my hat off to you, a young, dynamic and brave lady for raising the money for Borei Keila students.

Pissed off

Yes indeed, but we hope she focuses on this subject helping the needy instead of going crazy jumping from darting game to preacher then to be a journalist interviewed a fake HRH.
Many people lack of respect for her because of her inconsistency that's all. She has a chance to build this model (helping the needy) if she wants to earn a respect and a trust from the public. I and the rest will show support and respect her for that path or otherwise.

so all of these students spend $1,000+ for round trip plane ticket just to bring gift of $1,000
to poor kids in Scambodia?

Hun Sen must be responsible for any piece of land that lost to the Vietnamese, foreigners cannot help you every thing. All Cambodian must be unity and keep fighting to reclaim your motherland from the Vietnamese takeover. Cambodia is a last piece of land for all Cambodian in the World.

Better than nothing.
$1.00 ~= 4,000 Riels
$1,300.00 = 4,000 Riels x 1,300.00= 5,200,000 Riels
At least it can help a few kids.
If Ms Seng just focuses on this project alone, she can bring more helps. Hopefully she can settle on this job (helping the needy when needed like this Borei Keila) that can lift up her image that was damaged by darting games, fraud interview for silly fake HRH. tartara....!!!
She can do so many good things for her Khmer people if she is capable of wisdom.
I am pretty sure people in/out Cambodia will appreciate her and furthermore she earns a lot of respect from them.

Bashers, go out there and do something for the poor in Cambodia instead of whining in front of your computer screen.

Bashing and suggesting or giving their feedbacks are different things. If you fail to see the differences between the two, you are in trouble.

I have no problem in differentiating them. My comment @ 12:28 PM directed toward the bashers only, if you are not one of them ignore me.
Don’t be “a ko dombao knaong ka ek heur rumlaong rumsay kaon tuy”.
Don’t be “a cow having a sore on its back and when the crows fly over it is scared shitless”.

You have said the right thing!

There are always Cambodians who have done nothing for Cambodia or her poor people, but have got the shame to blame others who have tried to do something for Cambodia and her people.

My advice to those people is this:

Get the hell out of your comfortable country of America or whatever country you are in and fly to Cambodia and then start the project or whatever you accused Theary Seng of not doing.

She is only one person and Cambodia belongs to the blamers too so don't blame others for not doing what you want to see happen. You can go there yourself and do whatever should be done and if you can't do that, learn to offer your unsolicited advice in a very nice way.

How do Cambodian gov't feel when people even school kids think they suppress their own people??

I wonder how do you know the Seng's critics do nothing for Cambodia?
There are people do help quietly without publicizing and there are people who pledge for helps via videos and there are people like to be in front page, etc..
Why do you claim she is the only person and left out many charity organizations and others who want no fame?

If you are so afraid of being blame by the public then you ought to study why Theary Seng receives so much criticism from the public than others who also on the spotlight?

Don't just blame the public for her mood disorder like. People don't just grab a person who does good for the community and scold her, unless the public see something in her (TS) needs to be corrected.
No matter how good the person does when bad things invade that person, all the good deeds will be disappeared.

Go back and retake your English lesson.
I only understand 35% of your writing.
Maybe you can reply to you own posting since you are the only one who understand it 100%.
Please, write for somebody else to read but not for you to read.
Good luck with your lesson!
