Gaining independence from France is good ... gaining independence from Vietnam and tyranny is better: Do Cambodians have the will to get them on our own or do we still need Preah Bat Thoammeuk?

Dear Readers,

On this celebration of Cambodia's independence from France, while we are grateful to King-Father for leading the crusade for independence from France in the early 50s, Cambodia is now facing with another danger: the Vietnamese neo-colonization and the free fall of democracy and freedoms in Cambodia.

Some Cambodians are again turning to King-Father to seek his help on this issue, only to be rebuffed for the reason of his old-age. As for Cambodia's current king, the universal answer is, unfortunately, "SILENCE". Asking Mr. Hun Xen on this issue would only earn his standard answer: "I will send you a coffin" and "you don't understand the details in Cambodia."

Now, Cambodia's "Puth Tumneay" (the alleged Buddha's prediction which everybody knows that it was not passed down from Buddha) indicates that the legendary Preah Bat Thoammeuk will one day come and save our country. Regretfully, the elusive Preah Bat Thoammeuk remains just that ... an elusive figure. Nevertheless, in his teaching, Lord Buddha clearly taught us that there is no Buddha bigger than the One residing in each of our house (and our heart). Now taking this teaching to the extreme, what if Preah Bat Thoammeuk is not a single person, but rather an entire people in a nation? What if each one of us represents a small part of Preah Bat Thoammeuk and the sum of all of us represents the legendary Preah Bat Thoammeuk, would we all stand up to save Cambodia? Would we all get rid Cambodia of the current tyranny? Would we be willing to bring democracy and true independence to our people? 

While we clearly understand that such view can be considered as pure heresy from certain quarters, we, at KI-Media, strongly believe that a paradigm shift is necessary regardless of whether that shift resides in a metaphor or a legend.

Please share your thoughts on this issue with all our readers.

Thank you,

KI-Media team

Sihanouk has too much sex made him forgot and lost his memory loving communism without education about the communist rules. He should educated himself first before joining and supporting the Khmer Rouge Kheuv Samphan to killed Khmer people and what are the consequences after the civil war is over and millions things needs to be done.

Sihanouk made another biggest mistake was the Paris Peace Agreements after the elections Hun Sen lost and Ranariddh won. Hun Sen declared war to take over Kompong Thom if he is not became a second Prime Minister and Sihanouk agreed with Hun Sen. No country on earth has 2 Prime Minister can run a country.

Sihanouk took Cambodia with him to hell: Pol Pot era and Hun Sen era.

Cambodia needs independence, but not when Vietnam and Thailand are waiting on both sides of the borders.

Bastard Sihanouk was no politician and tried to be one. And his womanizer behavior did not help either.

Any Khmer man is in politics to chase women, soon to be trapped by the enemies.

How can we get the lost land back if Khmer don't even getting along each other. That how Khmer characteristic is,if we know how to united we won't be the smallest country in S.E. Asian. Most of the Khmer leader were fucking dumb and useless.

First I would like to congratulate Ki-media on this report. I have never thought of this issue the way that you guys are presenting it. I believe that the concept in which you guys are explaining it truly shows how modern your thinking are.

Personally I would like to think that it would be the collection of people that would help cambodia become a great country. We have been living in the past for so long, we need to wake up and instead of looking at our achievements in the past we should try our best to plan our future achievements. Whenever I hear cambodian's talks, it's always about angkor, independents from france, the norodom family but we should move away from our past achievements as it's only important if we are planning to stay in one spot.

It is time for all of us Khmer put our differences away.

And focus on saving our last land.

All Khmer must be united , Khmer Leu, Khmer Krom , Khmer Kandal.

The sole enemy of Khmer people are Viet Congs in KHmer civilian uniforms.

The sole enemy of Khmer people is Ho Chi Minh Indochina Federation .
to put Cambodia and Lao under its yoke.

Down with Yuon communist and its slave Hun Sen.

Down with Indochina Federation.

We should help Hun Sen and CPP to be liberated from Vietnam. We must be united. We cannot fight among ourselves as Khmers and Khmers. This is the only one theory of winning against the ennemis from west and east.

Do not stand on Republic and blame King. The wast majority of Khmers in Cambodia highly respect King. That is the fact. King Sihamoni has been highly respected bu international leasders from around the world. That is the fact, too.

Sam Rainsy Party is too far to the right. This party should be moderated or more liberal. This is the way toward unity and winning for the KHMER EMPIRE.

No one perfect. But must be one is better. Who is the better ?

The secrets to Preah Bat Thomeuk is the splitting the nuclei of the heavy element and radioactive atoms OR fusing of the hydrogen/helium nuclei using the enery harnessed during the above reaction.

No need for armed uprising by the entire 14 million population inside the country, Khmers in Siam or Kaphuchea Krom, and Khmers overseas.

And for the other peoples namely, Cham. Hmong, Hmieng....etc. your participatoin is much needed in cheering when you see the fire crackers (mushroom clouds) going up as Youn mother fuckers are gasping with their last words "Chet cha ong oeuy"..

Youn country as we know it will be bombed back into the GREAT FLOOD AGE--FOREVER SUBMERGED UNDER SEAWATER.

The Secret?

All along the United Nations probably had it planned that Vietnam would incorporate Cambodia into their territory. I don't hear a peep from the UN concerning Vietnam overshadowing Cambodia.
The French also all this time playing the cards to have Cambodia to be annex into Vietnam. My bet is there has been a secretsy by the French, UN, U.S and Vietnam to render Cambodians powerless. O, there's pep talks but the shuffling took place behind the curtain.

We will fight Youn with intelligence not with manpower...

Be smart folks!

Youn can never dare to mess with Khmers if they know we have the STUFF to wipe them out for good.

Intelligence Folks, Intelligence!

No need for a massive armed uprising..

I think the God of Israel is laughing at the Cambodians as they tried and tried to save themselves base on a Buddhist concept, "Only you can save yourself and no others." Don't Buddha teach salvation can only come from within yourself? Well I say, keep on being your own gods until only one Buddhist be left in Cambodia. Or you can know the truth and the truth will set you free.

Dear KI Media Team,

The paradigm certainly has been shifted if we turn to “Puth Tumneay” to help relieving our hopelessness and our despairs. I am glad, however, that the team has selected this issue for discussion. The hope is that our discussion would result in raising the consciousness of our people.

Regardless of whether we legitimize the prophecy in puth tumneay or not it has its pervasive affect on our society. In a sense, it has become, if you will, our nation’s manifest destiny. The danger is many Khmers become complacent and waiting for the salvation from Preah Bat Thoammeuk. And when Thoammeuk does not appear, puth tumneay is still used as the default for comforts rather than confronting injustice or standing up against the incompetency of the leaders.

My view is the sooner we can come to a consensus to debunking the legitimacy of puth tumneay, the better for our nation. The mere fact that the name Preah Bat Thoammeuk is used in the prophecy implies a certain form of governance. Monarchy basically is fait accompli. In our current political climate even if Preah Bat Thoammeuk were to appear, he will be useless. Don’t wait for him.

Let us return to reality.

No one knows what the future will hold. It is up to all of us to creating a narrative that is positive for ourselves and for our nation. Each one of us can make a difference for each other and for our nation. If each one of us tries our very best to becoming critical, reflexive, and ethical practitioner, we can free ourselves from falling into believing a leader or a narrative so easily. May be, as the article has alluded to, each one of us could be a Thoammeuk- just Thoammeuk without Preah Bat.

Thank you KI Media Team,

Koun Khmer

i we think about it as in an educated person's critical thinking and analytical skill, etc, the so-called preah bat thoammeuk could be anyone of us, the khmer people and khmer citizens who is capable of leading and taking our country in to the next level or next era. it is the one with great vision for the goodness of all mankind, our country, etc... yes, it is the wised one that will set forth from here on the good governance in cambodia; it is the honorable one who holds dearly the ethical code of conduct, etc. yes, it could be in anyone of us with that ability; and it comes through election, not war, not power grabbing, not the other evil deeds, like greed, selfishness, egotistical behavior, etc, etc... it is the wised one, alright in short, it is the honorable, capable, smart, intelligent, wised one that cambodia needs the most. may god bless cambodia.

I'm totally with the writer of this article. We as people of Cambodia, and especially youth of next generation need to rise up, and oust this corrupt, violent and evil regime out of power once and for all. Surely the rich people will not do anything because they are already on their side. The rich and powerful are most likely members of CPP or have some sort of connection.

Let us all become one and unite. Continue to pray to Preah Bat Thoammeuk for his guidance, courage and wishdom to change and make a difference.

Down with the CPP and long live Khmer!
