Nagara Vatta year 06 number 365 date 18 Jul 1942. Page 2 mentions Miss Khieu Ponnary, one of the first khmer ladies, having passed Bac I in July 1942. Khieu Ponnary later became Pol Pot's wife. She died in 2003 in Pailin. Her sister Ieng Thirith was standing trial, but was recently found unfit to do so. By at least 1975, Ponnary was growing increasingly disturbed from the onslaught of chronic schizophrenia. She became extremely paranoid and was convinced that the Vietnamese were trying to assassinate her and her husband. Pol Pot divorced her in 1979 after the Vietnamese invasion and took a second wife.

The newspaer Nagara vatta was pro Janpan and anti French colony by 3 figures Pach Chhoeunn and Sim Var and Son Gnoc Thanh.
During World War 2 ( 1439- 1945 ) the newspaper Nagara Vatta was a popular newspapers anti French colony by above figures .
For Khmer younger generation must study the good thing and bad thing about Son Ngoc Thanh movement to liberate our country from French colony as follow:
1. It is good to stand up and fight and freeze ourselves from French colony to free our country from French colony.
2. The bad thing was to liberate our country from French colony Son Ngoc Thanh asked for Janpanese protectorate so it was a matter of liberating the country from French colony into the new Japanese colony because if Japane was not defeated in late 1945 in World War 2 Janpan would continue to occupy Cambodia with Japanese colony.
Note: Son Ngoc Thanh was not odler brother of Son Ngoc Minh ( Achar Mean ) as youn Viet Minh propoganda during Vietnam war.
