Now this is good news for Cham. The YOUN is not happy cause the muslim brothers is moving to Cambodia and by chance the Cham can re-establish and build a strong organization with the money got from the muslim world to build its foundation. To let you know that Champa or Cham were originally in present day middle Vietnam. Their capitol was called "Vichey".

Go Cham! Go!!
