Dear KI-Media Readers,We would like to bring to your attention the following gripe and lawsuit threat posted by an anonymous supporter of Xamdach Akkok Moha Xena Bat Dey Dek Cho Hun Xen (see we use his full title) against those "so-called" Khmer/foreigner reporters who are working for Radio Free Asia and Voice of America Khmer services. Alas, in his/her lack of foresight, this reader forgot to sign his/her real name and as such, he/she may never reap his/her rewards from his/her Xamdach Akkok Moha Xena Bat Dey Dek Cho Hun Xen. That just shows how life is full of pitfalls, one day you think are way at the top, but the next day you realize that you are way at the bottom instead; or more accurately: one day you think you'll butter him up, but the next day you realize that you forgot to tell him who you really are!

Based on my observation, several journalists never used the honorific title for Cambodian leaders in their articles, especially Radio Free Asia and Voice of America. These two do not seem to respect the government much at all. I already know that the ladies and gentlemen working at these stations are foreigners, they are not Khmer at all. However, even if they are Khmer, they must respect the freedom rights of Cambodia so that foreigners, who do not have Khmer blood, can see that Khmer people from the past have Khmer blood, they (Khmer people) respect each others, and that there is a unity between the government and the Khmer people all over the country. These two radio stations (RFA and VOA) never criticize the politicians, but they criticize the individuals instead.
None of their articles criticize the government, but they only criticize individuals, for example, regarding the issue of Cambodians living along the railroad tracks, these radio stations did not say that the government ordered these Cambodians to move to a new location, but they used the word “eviction of Cambodian people” instead, this is a very rude statement towards the government.
Such criticisms, using such wordings, are not criticisms on the government, they are incitation on Khmer people living all over the world to believe them. Based on my thinking, these people (RFA and VOA) do not have morality towards the Khmer people, even if they have high education levels, they should not use street language when addressing the Cambodian government.
Do be very careful, because the government leader (Hun Xen) can sue you back, do you depend on the US to help you? Irrespective of where you (RFA and VOA reporters) live, you can be sued. Don’t say that we are afraid, we not afraid at all. I know that these ladies and gentlemen live in the US, but you do not have Khmer characters at all, you are foreigners, but you should not look down on Khmer. You never talk about Khmer people living in the US, because you do not consider these Khmer people (who live in the US) as being your people.
