Mr. KWANG MA KHAK, you should have looked to the east where bordering Vietnam. The temple there are threatening from the Vietnamese authority. Do Kathen there then you will be in haven. Leave the west to someone else and if you do so much beleive or not one of those day Bon not going to help you because of you faking it from your responsibility.
ReplyDeleteThe Legends
At least it helps a bit. Both west and east borders are vulnerable to illegal encroachment/invasion.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate this Kathen.
It doesn't matter what you do , you will burn in HELL soon for all your do to Cambodia and her PEOPLE .
ReplyDeleteah hok lundi is waiting for you ah scumbag !!!!!!!!!!!!!
May lightning strikes ah kwack forehead at noon time just the way it did to ah hok lundi helicopter .
Yeah, it helps a bit, both east and west borders. But kathen is not enough, diplomatic, legal and other actions should apply to pressure thai to withdraw.
ReplyDeleteNothing is enough. The recent incident with Thais could be a warning to other countries to respect the treaties.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Thais are now crying complaining about this Kathen. It shamelessly claimed that it is violated its territory! Who will listen to them? A country without shame.
Khmers are chicken..
ReplyDeleteThey see Chea Sim, Heng Samrin and Hun Sen,
like beasts...
They still believe in them..
If not, they will kill him...

Cheam Yeap is another CPP foul-mouth, a scumbag. So don't listen to what he said.
ReplyDeleteWell, good to read all of your comments, but all in all are about complaining of your own leaders... Are you better than them? Or do you have enought ability to be a leader? Look at your words all about bad stuff... How can you become a good leader if your mouth is full of bad words and curses.
ReplyDeleteThink twice before point to other...
