The three Vietnamese lackeys: Hun, Heng, and Chea are surounding a puppet king for the opening of water festival ceremony. We regret that this traditional ceremony has never been attended by our good leaders, instead the Vietnamese lackeys control every thing. The water festival has been celebrated since Angkor period when our kings and people came to celebrate their victory over the enemies.
Philosophy from Bon Oum Touk,
As I can see, the Bon Oum Touk or boat racing ceremony shed us two concepts of philosophy:
1. It is good for Cambodians to preserve this long traditional ceremony of Cambodia. It symbolizes the strength of Cambodian navy, pay gratitude to the water, to farewell the starting receding of water, and to entertain Cambodian peasants from hard work of crops cultivating.
2. But it is surely if you watch TV or listen to Radios, or read newspapers; Cambodian's bon oum touk is the occasion for those Cambodian high-rank officials advertise their names, power and position through sponsoring with many projects: starting from sponsoring TVK, to boat crew, to rice, to cloths, to many and others.
So it is remarkably that invaluable Khmer traditional bon oum touk has become the central place for those corrupted government officials to make money laundering and advertise their cronism/favoritism.
If younger Cambodian generation wants to see brighter future of Cambodia, they must understand that this charity culture from those higher rank officials are only the encouraging of perpetuating corruption and Cambodia as a state has become weaker and weaker through this behavior.
Many those high-rank officials are happy to advertise themselves through the opportunity of bon oum touk and presence of the King.
Their legitimacy is very low and disgusting....this low profile political legitimacy accords to their evil backgrounds and less education.

This is a good spot for the snipers,but in Cambodia very hard to find that kind of snipers or if it exist only chicken snipers,common learn from cowboy style so all the communist with Cambodian blood stained ,they will have no chance do lead Cambodia to the tremendous disaster anymore.
In Thailand or in USA the people have their right to have the gun,in 2008 it doesn't matter who win the election so please make our constitutional to be match with those countries our people carry the gun,so the bad cop,government ,and the leaders country have their right limitation . It has just in one of khmer refugee dream.
May be a thousand of years ago Bon Oum Touk was celebrated by Khmer (brown people), in 2008 Bon Oum Touk celebrated by many peoples but Khmer Tradiction is still there. So, bad or worst keep Khmer Tradiction alive will yau? People will die but culture and tradiction will goes on and on forever.
I just check the weather: Looks like we are going to have another comfy light breezy day with some chances of short showers, hehehe.

The storms appears to be stationary and lost its center. In this situation the computer model is not accurate and show a confusing path. However, BBC weather show that it will generally move back east soon. Thus, we might have another storm that fail to come aboard, but we'll know for sure in the next 12-16 hours or so. Meanwhile, there will be some rain in Vietnam near the shore.

That bitch standing behind Hun San is so white that her face looks like a ghost.
What do you mean "bitch"? She our first lady, you asshole (7:47)! So what if see over powder herself a little. A lot of people doing that now days. I think the idea came from Japan. Some of their actresses coated their face with real thick white powder.
Your first lady'real name is "Mi Ka-Heang".
No, that is your mother.
This is the display of Vietcongs slaves in Cambodia. Ah Hun Sen, Ah Heng Samrin, Ah Chea Sim, sam-phuan Bun Rany, Useless King Sihamoni (King -in-name only)
These are bunch of corrupt and useless leaders for Khmer dying nation.
Slaves to ah Yuons until no more Khmer lands to sell. In the end, Cambodia will be just a 'shell', while everything else is owned by foreigners.
Yeah! Your first-asshole slut lady!
Well, at leas she didn't bang in Vietnam by Vietcong like your mother.
8:01am calls every whore his first lady. Your mother must be very disappointed in you.
Wrong, we only have one first lady who served as all Khmer role model, and she's no cunt like your Xmer Xrom hookers.
