yes, samdech sangareach(ss) chuon nath was the khmer expert in all things educated in khmer, that is! we, sometimes, only hear foreign scholars were khmer experts because they studied khmer, but ss chuon nath embodied everything khmer as in knowledge. i heard from my dad that ss chuon nath was very strict and very disciplined when it comes to khmer knowledge. i can't believe the pol pot regime killed him. if he lives today, he'll be 110 years old. it's sad to think how the pol pot regime destroyed so many things khmer people stood for. let's praise an hope nothing like pol pot's regime ever allowed to exist again in cambodia or anywhere in the world, for that matter! it was so cruel and pure evil what happened or allowed to happen under pol pot's regime from 1975 to 1979! khmer people and khmer history will never forget that dark chapter of our country's recent tragic history. the world was so horrified by it!

Cambodian education should be focusing in Khmer Literature. Hun Sen regime made Khmer language very low standard. Due to a poor jobs market in Cambodia, people are studying foreign language and looking for jobs oversea.

This was one of the reasons that Khmer voted Hun Sen out.
He is only a strong man among his own kind, Khmer.
But with the Vietnamese, his bosses, he is just a little puppy.
ឣាហ៊ុនសែនជាមនុស្សរណបយួនចោលម្សៀត។

Khmer language is in peril, why? becuz Khmer pple today claim they are Khmer-Chinese, you just ask sam rainsy, thery seng, kiev kahnaith or this web poster under nick name jendhamony claiming to be chmapa background which is muslim. even the khmer king can't fluently speech Khmer. most of commercial sign post less Khmer than other language either Chinese, English or other. we should ask ourselves are we proud to be Khmer? the answer is probably less than 50%.

Sihanouk was like in his late 30’s or early 40’s.
So you can guess within 3 to 4 years error.
I would guess it was around 1962.

Sihaknuk very good at acting and talking finally is and was talk too much are useless,the youn don t talk much but it use the brain a lot finally Sihaknuk was defeated and cheat by youn.. In the picture Sihaknuk comforted and escorted patriarchy Choun Nathh in the back ah sdachclout sarcasm ,and cursing to patriarchy as very low live person(( eat and sleep sleep and eat ,the dig bigger than the wrist what is the useless people)) the source from Mr.Soth Poline the former Norkorthom s journalist at the patriarchy s funeral morning.
The reason that patriarchy death it was mystery but deep involving with king fucked his aunt Sihaknuk. As long as patriarchy Choun Nath still living ,the youn s queen plan (Monique) will be not success. So to satisfy his youn wife the idiot king must dare get rid any things on his wife s way.

What is WRONG with these Khmer Buddhists to keep condemning other Sinners (Sihanouk,
for example) while they are rotten Sinners (Manuss mien BAB) themselves???
These Khmer Buddhists HAVE no Fear of GOD even their idolatry Buddha they claimed to worship and follow.

This Article is about Khmer Language in CRISIS .ot about someone you Hate.

How much more sufferings and punishments you Khmer Buddhists want to receive from your evil intent and practice your INTOLRENCE and committing Evil acts every day?
2;44am you and your Buddhist communities too must Repent.
Are you Sure that your soul will not be sent to Hell for you have no Fear of GOD?
Do more search online Billion people around the world testified their testimonies of seeing Hell and Heaven.
With your so evil mind toward others only Hell
you will be dragged to.

You should worry how to save your very own Soul instead of others.
You or all of us sinners Have No authority to judge anyone. but the living God ( Preah Rouss) only.

All HOLY Men/Women who came to earth such as Buddhas in India, Saints etc. they taught the same " Hatred does nit End by Hatred, but by Love".
These Cambodian Buddhists never practiced or follow those teachings.
They cannot reach GOD, when they are not afraid of their Buddha they are worshipping.

GOD is love and happy with serenity regardless under what circumstances.
GOD is in action, He is alive, He is reaching out to all His children if we ask to know Him.
Many Muslims around the world have visions met Christ. Those among them were former Terrorists, but their prayers to know GOD, they received, and their lives changed from evils to Saints.

Your words are from Satan (evil).
Satan (evil) belong to Hell. Save your soul since you are still inside human body.
While you are so angry why not type on google "many Muslims have visions saw Christ"? You may learn something to remove evil from your soul.

The Book of Revelation, The Living GOD is in action.Why GOD is reaching out to Muslims, and million of them follow Him regardless of suppression and persecutions.

Indonesia, Muslims declines since after Bali bombing. Buddhism is dying, because none of the Buddhists follow Buddhas teachings.

Dr. Gafar Orang-Meth, is a most respectable Scholar but he is Muslim, the Muslims worship Muhammed, not Allah (God). I wonder why an intelligent highly educated like him would follow a pedophile Muhammed?

Muhammed was a terrorost butcher and child molester. Sad indeed.
