Sok Khemara, VOA Khmer | Washington, DC
“To cry wolf” or to appear racist against the Vietnamese is to lose international support."
Cambodia suffers from poor leadership, with poor prospects not just in the ruling party, but among opposition leaders, a former Cambodian professor in the US says.
South Africa had Nelson Mandela, Burma has Aung San Suu Kyi, but Cambodia has “Class Z” leaders like Prime Minister Hun Sen, said Naranhkiri Tith, a former professor at Johns Hopkins University.
“Where on Earth can a country like that survive?” he said.
The country also lacks strong leadership amongst its opposition, said Naranhkiri Tith, who fled the country in the 1960s and settled in the US.
Sam Rainsy, the main opposition leader, is in exile and faces more than 10 years of imprisonment over charges related to the destruction of markers near the Vietnamese border in Svay Rieng province.
Naranhkiri Tith said Sam Rainsy had incited people against the Vietnamese “the cheap way” and would not be able to compete with the ruling party and Hun Sen without more struggle.
“These leaders, I am not saying they are worse than Hun Sen, but they are not that good,” he said. “Cambodians need the quality of Aung San Suu Kyi and Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, who have great moral strength.”
Sam Rainsy declined to comment, but he has said in the past he has been forced to lead the opposition from abroad. He has said he was protecting Cambodian land from Vietnamese encroachment.
Kem Sokha, head of the minority opposition Human Rights Party, who is touring Australia to find support for his party, said he distrusted the main opposition and so had created his own party.
“If we have only politicians and leaders who incite people and run away, we see it is impossible to solve problems,” he said. “Today, the ruling party knows how to frighten people, and Sam Rainsy alarms people, but the Human Rights Party makes people understand and feel warm, in order to take victory in changing the dictatorial leaders.”
Government spokesman Phay Siphan told VOA Khmer the administration was gradually resolving the country’s most important problems with human rights and democracy, but its main focus is on peace.
“This is the very highest value for the Cambodian nation,” he said. The government “is establishing Cambodia as independent and neutral and not receiving sanctions from China or the West or neighboring countries.”
Meanwhile, Ou Virak, head of the Cambodian Center for Human Rights, said Cambodian politics have not developed but that could change in the next generation.
Political infighting now is about individuals, he said, not social or political policies for national problems.
Hun Sen, who has held power for three decades, has not had a real political rival. The Sam Rainsy Party has slowly grown its influence and now holds 26 of 123 National Assembly seats. The Human Rights Party has three seats. The ruling Cambodian People’s Party has 90 seats.
Naranhkiri Tith said the leadership of Suu Kyi and Mandela could serve as a good example for Cambodians.
While acknowledging Vietnamese influence as a threat to the country’s national security, he said violence should be avoided. “To cry wolf” or to appear racist against the Vietnamese is to lose international support, he said.
“So we should concentrate on trying to fight for our freedom inside the country, to protect human rights, to protect liberty, to protect freedom, to protect our land and our people, without referring to the Vietnamese,” he said. “That’s what all the leaders should do.”

Man! you don't have to be professor to make these commons. A pre-k can say the same thing.
those oppostion people, all they can think about is viet/youn this or that everytime they say about about cambodia. they always used the blame game which is a sign of stupidity because there are more to cambodia than just viet/youn this or that. couldn't they for once stop using blame and say something without having to mention viet/youn this or that about cambodia. people are sick and tired to hear they use blame game for their only political gain. people will eventually stop buying into their paranoia because it is so outdated that racist blame game. poor leadership on the part of the opposition leadership is an understatement, it's more like ineffective, stupid and lack real judgment. the opposition is nothing close to aung san su kyi of myanmar or nelson mandela of south africa. sam rainsy, especially is only good at inciting people, then when he is in trouble with the law, he would run away and hide overeseas in his adopted france. i hope people will see and judge for themselves eventually and stop buying into that paranoid attitude of sam rainsy. i hope people soon stop supporting him and and start question his motive instead. rainsy hides behind both democracy and blaming game; he is no more that an activist, not a real leader, a poor one at that, if you ask me!
I have some admirations for professor Naranhkiri Tith! But this time his analysis of Cambodian politic is out of line!
Nelson Mandela was in prison for 27years! Aung San Suu Kyi was under house for 15years! Tell me why Sam Rainsy should go to prison for 27 years or under house arrest for 15 years. Sam Rainsy hadn't done anything wrong! Tell me why is it so wrong for Sam Rainsy to point out that the Vietnamese blatant violation of Cambodian sovereignty? Tell me who are the real victims here and it is the Cambodian farmers who live along Cambodian-Vietnamese border of course! Sam Rainsy is the messenger for Cambodian farmers because Cambodian farmers can't find no other way to talk to AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave government and that is why Sam Rainsy must step in because it is his capacity and his responsibility as public official to speak out for Cambodian farmer or people! And why anybody on Earth would interpret the action of Sam Rainsy for protesting the Vietnamese violation of Cambodian sovereignty as incitement or racial incitement against the Vietnamese? So the Cambodian farmers who live along Cambodian-Vietnamese border can not protest for loosing their land to the Vietnamese? So the act of protesting against injustice done on Cambodian farmers is called "the cheap way"?
What happen to Cambodia right now is the result of political maneuver between Pol Pot, King Sihanouk, and AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave puppet government imposed by the Western power during 1990! Cambodian people were overlooked for political expedient in favor of Western powers po
Cambodia is the only country that still have a puppet government! It is not a mystery that stupid Cambodian puppet government is and was sponsored by Vietnam and there are thousand of Vietnamese advisors still working inside AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave puppet government!
As long as the Cambodia still have Vietnamese puppet government and Cambodian people can expect to see no progress in all fields! For Cambodian people and Cambodian leaders they can talk but they can't do a damn thing to change what is need to be changed for Cambodian people and the country!
Cambodian history had documented repeatedly that without violence, destruction, and blood shed and there is nothing can be changed!
Take a close look of Libya and Syria and Cambodia will be heading that way because Cambodia is being ruled by a dictator sponsored by Vietnam!
Sam Rainsy is the messenger for Cambodian people. Why do want to kill the messenger?
9:20,
I think you're missing the point. Okay, mister Sam Rainsy hasn't done anything wrong but so too can be said about about Nelson Mandela or Ang Sua Kyi. They did not do anything wrong either.
what is being pointed out here is the quality of leadership who will stand firm for principles and face injustices with courage and resolution. That, we lack in Cambodia - not just Sam Rainsy, but the HRP in my opinion is even worst. The worst however, is Kem Veasna's LDP party. They speak the loudest but takes the least amount of action for democracy.
They say, why should we do this and do that and get hurt? We should be smart right?
By that, they mean, let's just be bystanders and watch what others do. Come in and reap the benefits later. No sacrifices and no hard work but expecting results.
This is why I am glad to see more individuals and citizens group are being empowered through their own convictions and suffering. These protests and demonstrations we see more and more are results of empowered citizens who are aware and willing to work and not wait for politicians.
I think Cambodia can hope to see more of these group and courageous citizens growing. The scene of the international arena is changing and Cambodians are catching wind of that change too.
Freedom is inevitable- when there is desire for it.
To me, professor Naranhkiri Tith has "zero" credibility. The majority of people who know him would confirm that.
He is so arrogant and lacks of basic "savoir vivre". He would open his mouth and say things to offend others, young or old, even he never meet them.
Academically, he may excel, but socially he has a lot to learn. His lagging of basic social skill made him one of the most mediocre minds in Khmer diaspora.
Ah neak tha min douch Ah neak theu teh...
Ah ehng cham teh tha teuv via chneas yourn heuy ah kmouch.
you call it a messenger, other called it incitement. i don't know about a messenger wanting to run for office! incite people and run away to hide overseas, people will judge for themselves! i wouldn't want this rainsy guy to be my leader, he's more destructive than others: a racist, prejudice, discrimination, hate, blame others but himself, etc... i wouldn't want a leader like that to lead my country, you know! he fits more like what's that racist australian lady's name, hanson something! sam rainsy is too controversial to be a good, effective leader. he can be an activist forever, that's all anybody cares, though! he's no leader, ok!
9:37 AM
You hit the nail on the head.
This Dr. has no credibility with Khmer Community. He works to benefit Hun Sen without realizing it.
He should know better if he realy wants to help Khmer.
To 9:37am
No! It is you who missed the point! Sam Rainsy is more brave than you can imagine! Since Cambodian government is a Vietnamese puppet government and Sam Rainsy was willing to go to Vietnamese court in Hanoi to find justice for Cambodian people!
Just remember! Sam Rainsy is protesting the Vietnamese government for taking land from dirt poor Cambodian farmers and he is not protesting against AH HUN SEN government! Tell me why AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave puppet government to order Sam Rainsy to prison for 10 years? Why AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave puppet government work for the Vietnamese government! What about Cambodian people and does AH HUN SEN work for Cambodian people? As you can see AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave puppet government had been working for the Vietnamese government since 1979! And never once work for Cambodian people!
This is to show you how the things are so fuck up in Cambodia under AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave puppet government! The Vietnamese government should take Sam Rainsy to court and lock him up in jail if Sam Rainsy has committed any wrongdoing! But why the AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave has to do the dirty work for the Vietnamese government?
9:37 am
you must be one of hun sen's dirty sperms.
This is 9:53am...This message to 9:35am...My apology to 9:37am!
Kiri Tith,
I never met him in person even I lived in Washington DC for many years. By reading his comment I totally agreed with 9:20AM.
Mr. Tith never lived under Khmer Rouge and he never tasted the hardship under communist. If he thinks Sam Rainsy is a bad leader and cheap way, Is he dare to say out loud and talk bad about Vietnamese in Cambodia? Show your courage, Mr. Tith, and go to live in Cambodia. Then, open your big mouth in the public about Vietnamese encroachment and Hun Sen as a traitor. If you're dare to do that as Sam Rainsy did in the past. Then, I admired you. But, you're acting like a child and not dare to say about Vietnamese. I bet you will lost your life in Cambodia. Without Sam Rainy no one else in Khmer history dare to talk and have a big mouth like him to call on Youn aggession and Hun Sen is a traitor.
I don't care you have a PhD, but you're smart in the book, not in real life.
The Vietnamese oppressed over 10 million Khmer Krom and not single Khmer says the Vietnamese is a racist!
Bravo! When mentality like that and you don't need an enemy!
To 9:35am
No! It is you who missed the point! Sam Rainsy is more brave than you can imagine! Since Cambodian government is a Vietnamese puppet government and Sam Rainsy was willing to go to Vietnamese court in Hanoi to find justice for Cambodian people!

9:53 AM
I like Khmer people because some of them can not think straight and no wonder the Viet control them. Like father, like son. Like Hun Sen, Like his supporters. They're all can't think straight and they're all traitors.
One commentator said Sam Rainsy is a run away and inciting person. How's about Hun Sen? Do you think Hun Sen is not an inciting person. Hun Sen is the most wanted person in Cambodia history. Hun Sen needs to be eliminated from Cambodia before Khmer people lost their land, home, and life with this devil.
Only Sam Rainsy is dare to stand against Hun Sen. How many people are dare to stand up against Hun Sen? None as far as I know.
Youn are living in Cambodia by million and they don't come as a good intention. But, they come with their purpose to conquer Cambodia. But, Khmer people don't know about that.
Ho Chi Minh plans to occupy Cambodia and Lao since their fight against the US. Now they're success to control these two countries. But, Khmer people still think we blame Youn and inciting them for hatred.
If the robber come to your house, what are you going to do? Sit still and do nonething and let them rape your wife? The same thing applied to Youn in Cambodia right now.
Wake up Ah Khmer stupid who support Hun Sen.
9:59 AM
I agree with you, This idiot, left the country since the 1960s, prior to the Khmer Rouge Regime. He has no credibility, and probably has never seen the good works of Sam Rainsy and the bravery of SRP members risking their life, just to protect the sovereignty of our country.
Yet this idiot, who fled the country since the 1960s, has the guts to say that Sam Rainsy is a cheap and lacks in leadership.
This idiot is a disgrace to the Khmer living in America. Sam Rainsy members and supporters are most educated people i know. They can debate on all level and are not afraid to say what is right and what is wrong.
Naranhkiri Tith. STOP BEING A FOOL. Sam Rainsy has put his life for the country many times. you are a coward that fled the country since the 1960, now you are barking.
Don't be a CPP chkae, playing AH Hun Sen trick.
(I bet this idiot also secretly supports CPP)
Good advice from Prof. Naranhkiri Tith not to use race as a political point-scoring. As politicians, they should be mature enough to fight for justice, better economy, better health, better living standard or about sovereignty and territorial integrity, rather than use race issue to make their points.
Having said that, I think Prof. Naranhkiri Tith is not an angel either when it comes to attacking the Viet to make his points. I've read him talking about Cambodia as an "endangered race" in which he referred to threats from the Viet and Thais. He did similar things when he talked about Cambodia's border issues with its neighbors. This is political point-scoring using the race cards to make one's own points. I think Prof. Naranhkiri Tith must lead by example by practicing what he had preached.
if what you say about hun sen is puppet of youn is true, then others can say sam rainsy is perhaps a puppet of france as he run and hide in france or maybe a puppet of some other international body. my point, he only blame others, but failed to see himself. that's why others labeled him as poor leadership ability. to me, any person who considered themself as leader should know not to use race, discrimination, prejudice, hate, paranoia, etc as lame excuse to divide the country. i think leader should only unite the people, not divide them. unity makes cambodia strong, divide makes us weak, i don't care what you say, if you a divider, you are not a real leader, you are just serving your own political interest. stop being a hypocrite for a change, ok! we will see, the election will show us who people favor as their leader(s). the truth is the winner is that so-called preah bat thommuk. most people would rather be stability,peace, prosperity, etc in cambodia than another destructive division, etc... again, people should only use the rule of law, period, not violence to achieve them political agenda, etc, you know! if people have no patient, they are not fit for leadership. i don't think khmer people are stupid like they once was. people can now think and see for themselves. and they can decide who they want to be their leader. it is time to stop hurting khmer people and detrimental to cambodia's development or progress, etc! remember, there are always more to cambodia than you and i, period! if you can't work together for the sake of cambodia, then my all means, step aside and let the more capable individuals lead. in this day and age, you don't win power by violence anymore, now it's voting and rule of law!
To 10:22am
What is your point? Sam Rainsy is protesting against the Vietnamese government for taking land away from dirt poor Cambodian farmer! Did Sam Rainsy protest against Hun Sen government? no! Did Sam Rainsy protest against the Vietnamese people living in Cambodia? no!
It is only right that the Vietnamese government take Sam Rainsy to international court for lying and false accusation that the Vietnamese government took land from dirt poor Cambodian farmers! Now why Hun Sen takes Sam Rainsy to court instead and condemned him to 10 years in jail! Why Hun Sen government want to do the dirty work for the Vietnamese government? Unless Hun Sen is a Vietnamese puppet government!
If a thief comes into my house and I have children and a wife and I will show the thief my patient in a heart beat with my gun! No Cambodian people should remain patient when their land are taken away and their very life depend on the land to grow, produce food, and provide shelter!
but sam rainsy is using too much race card like youn is not good. everything came out of his mouth about cambodia is youn this or that. i think people are sick and tired to hear that outdated style of paranoia that's been used since the 18th century. old habit dies hard. i think that's what people who tired of sam rainy is saying here, he uses too much race card so people lost confidence in him. i wish for once, khmer leader stop using race card in their poltical agenda, i mean, if youn is invading cambodia again, then it is legitimate to use this race card, but to use it nonstop all of the time, i think it's questionable and rendered weak and ineffective type or style of leadership, you know. that's all!
for crying out loud, there are now other pressing issue like social reforms, land issues, development issue and what cambodia lacks and don't have than this youn race card outdated system, you know. to use this race card all the time is not smart at all. pol pot used race card to kill his own people, lon nol regime used this race card to take cambodia into civil war. you cannot have stabilty and peace and unity, etc if you keep on using race card, i'm telling you. leaders are supposed to know better and live and work by good ethics of conduct and professionalism, once you start using race card, you may lose that credibility as being effective, good leader, etc. if you don't understand what i'm say here, you are not fit to be a good leader for cambodia. instead focus on the rule of law like immigration law, etc, that's the solution to rid of any paranoia of youn, etc in cambodia. people know when they hear the race card being used that you are thinking only of your poltical agenda, nothing more than that. so, i encourage our politicican to stop using too much race card because the world is now different than say the last 100 year or so. stop living in the dark hole forever and start looking for friendlier solution other than violence. i cannot say enough about creating the rule of law and live by it, that's what cambodia needs the most. being racial is too controversial in the position of leadership, it is very unlike you get support from anyone with that kind of approach, period. when it comes to race, the world is getting more and more blur about it, so have some thinking change, ok!
It's easier said than done.
Comparing Khmer to any country or any leader in the world may be misleading if not outright wrong!
Know and remember this:
The Vietnamese had had plan to cleanse Khmer race for century; The Vietnamese got involved directly or otherwise in every page of Khmer history book.
The Vietnamese has the upper hand
with regards to Khmer's survival at this final phase of the Vietnamization of Cambodia.
It doesn't matter what game Khmer plays, Khmer is wrong and losing...
As one Khmer, had I have the magical power...you all know what I would do already to the Vietnamese...
Born and raised as Khmer, love Khmer, and will die as Khmer!!!
Good night.
Peking Duck
i don't think that's the case, because we see and hear all the time the opposition people incite people by calling hun sen youn this or that when he's not even a slave of youn. you guy label him as youn puppet, youn slave, etc, that's getting too much. i think khmer people pick hun sen to be their leader, not youn, ok. you guy just keep using youn race card as an incitement to got people to over react, that is wrong style of politics. just because in the past, politicians liked to use the race card, so you guy carried on that notorious tradition of using the youn race card out of control, that's not good. i think there are time to use it like during war or what have you, but during peace time and stability time and election time, i don't know about that. that's more like abusing the race card for your own political gain or something. that's too much to have any respect, even khmer people and the international community are beginning to question you guys motive with possession with the youn race card. it is very controversial if you don't change or outdated, old system of this youn race card. i'm saying this not because i try to defend youn or whatever, i'm just saying because people are sick and tired of hearing it all the time. it's just not true anymore when you political party are accusing others as youn this or that, it's just not true, it's just your political incitement, that's my point! i think cambodia ought to have a law that prohibit all leaders and politician from using too much race card, period, especially for your own political agenda as incitement, not good, ok!
This stingy mouth Dr. has no credibility about Cambodian issue. He doen't know the real game how to deal with Hun Sen. This Dr. good only with paper but come to real life he is nothing. He serves youn without knowing himself. His clan better stop him from preaching none sense and make him move his butt like a real man.
What does he done to help Khmer except discourage khmer?
To 10:48am
If you are Vietnamese and you have every reason to be sicked and tired of Sam Rainsy! I am Khmer Krom and I have every reason to be sicked and tired of Youn or the Vietnamese! Tell me what is the different?
Majority of the million and million of the Vietnamese come to live in Cambodia for free and why are they are still complaining about Sam Rainsy! The Vietnamese take over the Khmer Kampuchea Krom and treat the Khmer Krom people far worst than the Cambodian people and Cambodian leaders treat the Vietnamese in Cambodia! Actually the Vietnamese should consider themselves as being lucky for being Vietnamese because the Vietnamese have land, have association, the voting right...while the Khmer and Khmer Krom are second class citizen in their own country! This should be a wake up called to all Khmer people.
This author hit the nail right on the head and what I have been preaching to my peers all along. The opposition offer no real leaderships. Whenever a threat arise he leave just like Sihanouk! That is not leadership but a coward. You cannot preach hatred towards your neighboring country because you know why? A)they`re not going anywhere B)they will make sure you don`t win.
siem and youn will always be the neighboring countries of cambodia, so, instead of using excessive race card politics, why not look for way to live side by side together. the question is do we really want to go to war with each other over this race issue? why can't be learn to live peacefully side by side as good neighbors? the reality is, we are all neighbors, so why do not get that? why can't be all agree to disagree or agree to be different and be it? i think sometime it can be frustrating because we misunderstand each other and not have patient with each other, so i think we have to learn to be patient and deal with each other realistically. keep in mind the world is changed and so should they way we see each other and the way we think of each other. i think it is the job of the ngo organization that called themselves as center of peace and reconciliation task to educate people stop using the race card all the time or too much. if you still use this race card, and then people start asking you asking, you better have concrete evidence to prove to them legally, otherwise, don't bother to to incite others to believe in you. it's getting old!
Yeah, the neighboring country (Viet) that had been planning to kill, abolish, and take over the next door neighbor like Khmer, right you fucking killer 11:10 AM?
Go fuck yourself, 11:10 AM, go!!!
Now Ah chke yourn starts to bark... Whatch out KHMER.. Ah chke nis start to train his group in DC and in WA to learn how to divide khmer event deeper...
Khmer never able to get rid of yourn if we have this kind of yourn dog.
11:12 am, GO FUCK YOURSELF TOO!!! you talked too much nonsense already!!!
If anyone thinks that the 5millions of YUON will pull their ass back out of Cambodia now or anytime soon before Khmer gets wiped out of the face of this planet earth, YOU ARE DEAD DEAD WRONG!!!
Dr. Peang Meth has written several article to help educate Khmer he always receives respect from readers. But his stupdid Dr. everytime when he open his mouth he receives only cursing from readers. No body like this piece of shit from him. He is well fit as Hun Sen advisor. Not worth as Khmer. I'm not a sam rainsy supporter but i don't like this yourn Dr. preaching about khmer. I don't want to hear, I don't want to see his ugly face period.
maybe to ease some people's paranoia a bit, keep in mind we have international boundaries, keep lobbying the world to respect that. there's no fear for youn colonizing cambodia or whatever. again, it's just your outdated poltical tactic to incite people, then the worst part, after you incite people, people like sam rainsy ran away and hid in france. now tell me, something is wrong with this kind of action. running away is called incitement, in case you're not already aware, ok! if people support you and think you are right, then why fear and run away like this? i like this kind of cat and mouse game is outdated and should not be carried on as tradition in cambodia again, you know! i would never tell people to do like what sam rainsy is doing i.e. inciting others, then run away and hide overseas in france, now he looks more and more like france's puppet. and cambodia have alreadied gained independence from france. and rainsy wanted to take cambodia back as french colony because he thinks hun sen is youn slave. is sam rainsy insulting khmer people of cambodia by insinuating that hun sen works for the interest of youn? again, he is wrong to accuse hun sen as that. maybe a friend of youn is more likey, but a colony of youn? that's too much dreaming by sam rainsy, i think!
now if sam rainsy wants another civil war in cambodia, i'd be the first one to ask him to lead that war, instead of run away and hide overseas like he did. it looks more and more like sam rainsy and sihanouk are using the same outdated style of run away and hide overseas. rainsy, what worked in the past doesn't necessarily mean it will work again in this day and age, ok. stop being so behind time, ok! sihanouk is 90 years old, so think about it. he can barely walk on his own, ok! the point, is cambodia is entering a new era, you know! stop being stupid forever, ok!
When will Khmer can produce a good quality leader as he wants to see? From his sperm? If we wait that long Khmer will have no land to stand any more.
Let help to open his blind eyes.
Well why do you think he is a "Yuorn Dr." Mister 11:32 AM? wanna share what you think with us, if you're so inclined?
I heard yourn use the word " inciter" for Sam Rainsy. Now this shit Dr. repeat your's word.
Does he work for yourn??
11:34 AM...get lost. Nobody reads your gibberishing, ok, really!!!
11:15 AM
Your thuggish remarks is nothing new. Just like many bloggers on here who comes on here to read the news and throw in their two cents with niggerish slangs. It`s said that you cannot converse with a civilized manner or in intellectual wordings. Instead, you chose to curse out your peers even worst your own race. I have a suggestion for you. Take your anger and words you like to use and direct that towards your wife and families. Is that gangsta enough for you? Wanna be nigger!
Lok Poch Reasey should not waste your time interview this Shit Dr.
He deos no good to Khmer people. Each time he opens his stingy mouth he got trash by people. You should no that. I would turn off my radio when i heard this shit name.
Can you tell me what did he has done to help Khmer except helping Hun Sen to oppress khmer? I know there are lots of Khmer scholars know about how to help Khmer but not this shit dr. I live close to him but i waste nothing to see him or to know him.
To 11:34am
The Vietnamese government signed new treaties with AH HUN SEN to change Cambodian boundary after invading in 1979 ! Now Koh Tral belongs to Vietnam! This is painful!
=====================================
To 11:58am
I see nothing with wrong with 11:15am commenting on people stupidity! Some people are so stupid that they deserve to be cursed and condemned for life!
Hey don't take from me! Just take a close of Cambodian people in general especially the one in Cambodia! They supported the very government that sending them to work and to die as slave in Malaysia and others countries! Now these same Cambodian are begging for mercy! Can you help them? Of course not! You have only two cents to offer! ahhahhahhah
What part of 11:15 am remarks was toward stupidity? So everyone that is not on-line with your views is stupidity? Just by that, you can curse anyone out? If that is your low level line to start cursing people out then I can only imagine what your personal life is.
You think everyone don't know the Viet or Thais want to invade us? But you do understand that under this day in age there is such things as boundary. This author is correct about working the inside out to fix Cambodia. Hell, we cannot even have a decent debate on the internet because many on here can't even have a normal conversation without cursing. Its typical when ones intelligence is question and the quick response would be out burst. This is probably the reason why many scholars don't blog. Can't ration with crazy people. And they think they have a solution for Cambodia but blinded by their thuggish antics or remarks.
In 11:15 am words......go fuck yourself!!!
To 12:56pm
"But you do understand that under this day in age there is such things as boundary."
But boundary can be changed through treaties and that what the Vietnamese government had done after invading Cambodia in 1979! The Vietnamese force Hun Sen under their gun to sign border treaties 1979, 1982-1983, 1985, and more recently in 2005!
what i don't get is why oppositon always complaining about youn this or that with cambodia? why don't they protest directly at youn embassy, youn country, youn people, etc? maybe they are only good at cursing at khmer people, yes like pol pot, good only at killing his own people. i say, if people are unhappy or frustrated with youn creeps, why don't they go straight to the source, why drag other people with their rants? maybe they are good only at attacking at their own people. if that's not stupid, tell me what it's all about? i think there's a difference between pointing out the poor leadership style with that of simply ranting at each other here just because they can. go to the source complain to the source, ok. leave khmer people only to peace, ok!
I love this one..

CPP CHkae always bark at the victims but never bark at the abuser. This is a prime example of an idiot with a PhD. Sam Rainsy is a victim of his own government, but this fake Dr. a ran-away traitor fled the country since the 1960 still barks at the Opposition leader as a cheater of his own country.
Most of you are right, this Chkae shouldnt show his ugly face in public. What a shame Cambodia is full of FUCKED UP CHKAE!
Many Khmers, even the ones living abroad,are blaming Yuon for everything that goes wrong to their lives. Is Yuon responsible for the low rate of college graduate of Khmer descent? Is Yuon responsible for all the low life thuggish behavior of young ganster Khmers? Is Yuon responsible for Chinese land-grabbing projects in Cambodia? Is Yuon responsible for Hun Sen and his people's accumulation of wealth instead of sharing with Khmers Heck they even blame Pol Pot's work on Yuon? So much that it has became obvious non-sense to many in the world. Spend more energy on looking at our self to really see how we can get better as an individual and as a race.
About Khim Tith Narankiri,and let's look at what he said here:
He fled Cambodia in the 60's from what? Khim Tith,his father was a Yuon stooge back then and a jealous low life servant of Sihanouk clique in conspiring to get Son Ngoc Thanh in hot water because of Thanh staunch anti-elitism,anti-Yuon transgression and despotic feudalism.
He went to France with French passport not Xmer. He is the son of Sihanouk and Yuon puppet back then,himself.
Narankiri never knew what rice seedling look like and never knew waht is Kduoch look like either. This man is suffering from unreachable dream to become hot shot in Cambodia. What he said about other opponents of Hun Sen is his ploy to get a position or a contract for his consultance firm from Hun Sen.
In short,it takes one to be one and worst be one to know one.His father,Khim Tith,served Yuon and Ho Chi Minh's adopted son named Crazy fornicated bird(Si ha nouk)

Professor:
I think Preah Se-Armetrey will be a good leader.
At present Preah Bat Thommeuk and Phnaek Prak are preparing and paving the way for Preah Se-Armetrey.
I see Thommeuk and Phnaek Prak are currently growing .
When everything is ready ,Preah Se-Armetrey will come and he will reigns forever.
The question who is Preah Se-Armetrey is up to everyone judgement.
Thank you professor for bringing up this recall.
If you go to his website below:
http://cambodiana.org/Myprofessionalbackground.aspx
He claims:
NATIONALITY: EU & US
He is born Khmer and when a Khmer is too ashamed to be called Khmer, what is that telling you?
If you don’t want to help paddling the small boat, don’t put your feet in the water, or shut the fuck up.
He said:
While acknowledging Vietnamese influence as a threat to the country’s national security, he said violence should be avoided. “To cry wolf” or to appear racist against the Vietnamese is to lose international support, he said.
“So we should concentrate on trying to fight for our freedom inside the country, to protect human rights, to protect liberty, to protect freedom, to protect our land and our people, without referring to the Vietnamese,” he said. “That’s what all the leaders should do.”
-----------
He admits that the current Hun Sen’s government is the puppet of Vietnam, so our main enemy is Vietnam. But how can you fight your enemy without referring to your enemy?
Mr. Naranhkiri Tith, you are a fuckup PhD.
all you are not supposed to kiss his ass but to listen to what he says. does what he says make sense? why are you attacking his personal life? what is that have to do with his analysis of cambodia? all you people are good at is criticizing, cursing, and bad-mouthing people.
Dr Naranhkiri,
First, I admire your personal accomplishment.
But the way you said “To cry wolf” or to appear racist against the Vietnamese is to lose international support." is so irrational.
Are you blind Mr. Doctor or Mr. DocKdor that the the mass influx of the Vietnamese has threatened Cambodia's existence?
Don't you see the similarity between the way Kampuchea Krom lost to Vietnam and the strategy that Vietnam is now deploying in Cambodia?
In brief, the problem is not that Cambodia does not have an alternative leader to replace the Vietnam's slave Hun Sen, but we have some educated people like you who got out of the country so long and do not understand the real problem posed by Vietnam and keep looking down on our people.
Open your eye Mr. Doctor, when Khmer people said "Yuon Chaul Penh Srok", you should travel to Cambodia and see yourself. Can your friend Vietnam give Kampuchea Krom back to Cambodia? If not, shut the fuck up, I am not going to believe your dumb analysis.
it is understandable that most khmer people hated youn for what they did to cambodia during weak era in cambodian history. however, calling everyone you don't like as youn is too much. it is like the brits hate french and the french hate the germans, etc, no different. khmer hate youn, but i don't know abut politicizing this to the point of racist is backfiring. pol pot's KR did just that as an excuse to kill his own educated people, lon nol did that during the civil war, etc and yet we still see that tradition carried on with some politicians today. calling everyone who have a different analysis or opinion as youn is what dangerous for cambodia. then during chaos, they will start killing their own people again just because those people happened to think differently from their political view, etc. i think that's what people are trying to say here. plus, the leader never look good when he/she uses race card. that leader would be controversial and unpopular, at least with the international community. in the international community, everyone is foreigners to the host country, so if they see the leader of that country is racist, then they sort of feeliing uncomfortable thinking that leader could be racist against them in the international community. i think khmer politician should deploy a different political tactic of hating youn, instead of labeling their own people are youn this or that when in fact those individual khmer is as patriotic and loving and caring for cambodia as they are, just happened to see the world from a different angle which is different from them. you see, what i'm saying here, it is sort of unethical to be racist, too personal that is, especially for the country's leader. isn't that's how pol pot started killing his own people by labeling everyone of his own people as youn this or that. no longer we experienced the killing fields under that stupid KR regime. and it is right to say some politician like sam rainsy, etc have poor leadership ability. in america, if a leader is racist, i'm sure that leader will be unpopular and boozed and controversial and will not ever win an election due simply to his/her racism tendency. think about it! it's my critics!
i think dr. naranhkiri tith is an america citizen, he has to right o freedom of speech as much as sam rainsy and other opposition people out there, so who are you hypocrite to say he can't make analysis, etc as what he see from a different perspective, angle, etc? isn't that's what great about america is that people can make different opinion about anything and everyone, especially if they are in acedamia like dr naranhkiri tith, you know. so...
Up to here and now, everybody is right!

To 1:01Am and 1:06AM
Shut you cake hole! Duh? The Khmer people been through it all and don't you think that they forget!
There is no race card issue here! This is injustice done by the Vietnamese on Cambodian people including the Khmer Krom people! If the Vietnamese don't want anything to do with Cambodia and Cambodian people and they need to get the fuck out! Just get the fuck out and the problems between the Cambodian and the Vietnamese will be solved! You stay in your house and I stay in my house! There are no more problems to deal with!
To those people here who say that Khmer are racist?
But the Viet and the Thai are more racist than the Khmer with regard to Khmer.
1:01 AM
After Sdach Li Lear Sihanouk's fall, the North Vietnamese invaded Cambodia right away. No civil war at that time. But those Vietcongs trained the Khmer Rouge to fight Lon Nol. That how the Khmer suffering started, from your Boss Vietnam.
To the people who say that Yuon is not our problem.
Just imagine if we take them out of the equation: Cambodia minus 6 millions Viet, Cambodia without the Viet interference in the government and without the border encroachment. What would Cambodia be like, would it be better or worse?
I do not understand why we Khmer have to knock down one another except someone from another race whom we accept strangely to be our boss. The former King was great in his own right as well as HS and SR. However, their time seems to be over and new leadership need to be emerged from the Khmer who may earn it.
Please someone need to be great first oneself in order to judge the other great men. It depends hos we define greatness. Greatness for me is just a state of mind in which one possess unlimited mind power to achieve the good for his people.
This is a very diplomatic figure. Viets are blessed that most Khmers don't listen to him. He is Chinese descend anyways, so Viets would be glad to take him to their side.
4:08 AM
Great idea. You are so right.
90% of Khmer people's suffering emanated from Vietnam's ambition to swallow Cambodia.
what have Mr. Kiri done so far to make a contribution to our nation or to leadership roles. I want to see his pratical theory rather then a sayer
I am not Cambodian, not Asian.
(i) I am in an agreement with Tith of Hun Sen's class "Z".
(ii) I disagree with Tith of siding with Vietnamese accusing the victims like Cambodians as they are racist. They are crying for help that's what I see.
The Vietnamese are known for their genocidal against their neighbors.
How can "Tith" make a stupid comment that the weak people like Cambodians are racists against the stronger Vietnamese? Not I alone who disagree with "Tith", Dr. Martin Luther King will also disagree with him. The Black people behind Dr. King fought against the White racist. (I'm white but I am not one of them).
Sam Rainsy is Cambodian's Dr. King and I admire the guy stands against this savage Viet Congs.
"Tith" when comes to play politics against Viet Congs he is another Viet Cong's puppet to be.
Tith might hold a PhD of something but he is playing Viet Congs' game.

“To cry wolf” or to appear racist against the Vietnamese is to lose international support."
Whoever wrote this is beyond repair. International community does not care.
I bet the Yuon/Yuan/Yue are so happy to read this.
4:02 AM
You and your people including "Tith" have not learned your own history and the history of Viet terrorists yet. It begun since 1500's until today.
Doesn't Kiri Tith know the Yuon who were/are the ones who put Hun Sen in power as they put Pol Pot in power?
Since when the Cambodians have been freed? Why is Tith defending Yuon?
Khmers called "Yuon", Thais called "Yuan", Laotians called "Yuan"...and Chinese called "Yue". What is wrong?
Why the weaks are racist and the stronger are victims?
Well, Dr. Tith talks more than actions. He has blasted almost anyone, yet he hasn't achieved anything other than in his academic field as a professor.
He criticized other leaders, even opposition leader Sam Rainsy, but he never showed his face in Cambodia after he didn't get elected during UNTAC in the 1990s.
In a sense, he is a hypocrite.
There is so much truth to that. Many on here are so accustomed to blame, criticize, bad-mouthing, and childish remarks.
AMEN TO THAT^^^^
not a Christian ...
Most of you guys that curse this Khmer author are no different than the Siam, Viet, Khmer rouge, and sihanouk. You guys like to knock down on your own people. Even worse, you insinuate that you are patriot but at the same time you curse individual Khmer compatriots so long as your not cursing your nation makes you still patriot. Get it? Why can't you just disagree and give a constructive criticism? Don't you think your childish comments sound like Hun Sen? KI MEDIA SHOULD JUST BAN THE COMMENT SECTION. THIS WOULD BE THE RESPECTFUL THING FOR ANY AUTHOR YOU POST ON HERE.
LOYAL READER
Dear Loyal Reader,
"most of you guys" as you put it may not necessary mean they are Khmer...We cannot know who they really are. KI-Media is a free for all kind of blog...and as such, I humbly leave it to your imagination!!!
One Old-Timer
i think start censoring people's opinion is not right, instead educating them is better because not everybody had exposure to good education or life experiences, you know.
maybe some of us take it too personally. i certainly don't. you know what helps in all of this, have a sense of humor about it all helps ease your anger, frustration, etc, really! after all, this is just blog, not a competition of some sort, you know. that's all.
7:01 PM
Yeahh you idiot SOB.
I am not Khmer or Cambodian or whoever you put it. I Hate Viet Congs. See my old post at 11:20 AM.
Additionally: "Tith" is a sore loser. Tith wanted Sam Rainsy's position but prince Rannaridh chose Sam Rainsy instead. Tith's crusade against Sam Rainsy is clearly seen. He vows to destory Rainsy, and his activities cannot be hidden. When "Tith" joined with the mystery man Kemp Sokha. my laser eyes can see through inside Tith's body.
Cambodians are not the only Viet Congs' victims, but Montagnards whom I defend.
Most every body knew that Naranh Kiri Tith, PhD wanted a position of Minister of Finace, but Sam Rainsy, Master Degree was elected to fill that position.
Since then most every body observed that Naranh Kiri Tith alienating himself from Sam Rainsy...until today Naranh Kiri Tith supports Kem Sokha, the man cannot be trusted.
I cannot understand why Naranh Kiri Tith went to broadcast-ed through out the world accusing the weak Khmers as racist against the stronger Yuon?
He claimed that Sam Rainsy lost International support. International community today is about to be doomed from economy crisis. Yuon sucked and sacked Khmers & Laos' economy every second to feed their barbaric troops through the deforestation in Laos and in Cambodia, etc.,
There are important issues such as Border issue and robber plantation, Yuon leased from Hun Sen, Naranh Kiri Tith should address not this racist Yuon's game.
I want to respect the old man so bad, but he has not shown me anything beside barking against Sam Rainsy.
We have to teach the international community that the word "Yuon is in Khmer, Yuan is in Thai and Laos, and "Yue" is in Chinese "HAN".
I never heard of:
The weak people are racist against the stronger people. I heard that the weak people are fighting to free themselves from the supremacy like Yiek Nam.
Mr. Naranhkiri Tith, you are about the only well educated person in the world, who look down on his own kind (Khmer).
But that is fair enough because you are no longer a Khmer even though you were born Khmer. You are as you claim to be American and European, so from now on just shut up and leave us alone. We don’t need your help by dragging your feet in the water while we are paddling our small boat.
Now that you are a butterfly and you forget that you were once a caterpillar.
Calling them "Vietnamese" sounds they are nice and sweet, calling them "Yuon or Yuan" sounds so "Evils" which in fact they are evils. Either one of these words "Yuon" or "Vietnamese", they are all over in Cambodia controlling the class "Z" Hun Sen and the beggar/homeless man King Sihanouk.
The Yuon/Yuan/Yue are an old terms, and the Yuon/Yuan/Yue back then were barbaric people, now they are Vietnamese, still continue their barbaric policies.
These barbaric Yuon/Yuan/Yue/Vietnamess are playing the same tactics: forcing Khmer (Tith kiri) to fight Khmer (Samrainsy). The same and same old things these barbaric Yuon/Yuan/Yue/Vietnamesss had used in the past through Pol Pot regime.
These barbaric Yuon/Yuan/Yue/Vietnamess should not be allowed to exist, but they exist, God must have His reasons. He wants to punish Khmers or wants Yuon/Yuan/Yue/Vietnamesss to repent their greatest sins. No one knows only God knows because he designs everything according to our sins.
4:41 AM
You compare Mr. PhD Kiri Tith's education with his buddies (His generation) is alright, but do not compare his education with the new generation. His education is not at top, believe me.
PhD in economic I earned from Ecole de Mine (France).
PhD in Chemistry I earned from VA Tech (USA).
And I speak 8 languages: Khmer, Yuon, Thai, French, English, Arabic, German and Russian.
I am 34 years old exactly.
From a mad scientist
You forgot you speak CHINESE Mr. Mad scientist?
Let's make it 9 languages!!!
Quel con, ce type @4:56 AM! MDR!
You are a FUCKING Idiot Tith Kiri, you are still olding grudges that Sam Rainsy was supported and got elected as Minister of Finace, and supported by former FUNCP members and Rannarith, but you didnt get the position.
Now, you are crying and cursing Sam Rainsy because Sam Rainsy is cheap? Look at you. You are an idiot, Are you a Khmer? Why dont you list Khmer as your nationality?
Stay away from Khmer and stop destroying our reputation, Yuan or Vietnamese is the same word, Khmer are not racist. Stay away from Khmer. FUCKER
