Cambodia flag flying upside down at the UN headquarte​rs

Dear Ki-Media,

I am compelled to write this letter as I cannot bear witnessing Cambodia’s flag has until this hour of my writing been flying upside down in complete reversed position at the headquarters of the United Nations here in New York City.

Regardless of whatever underlying reasons whether an unintentional protocol flaws as a result of UN staff’s negligence or the carelessness from the Cambodian government side, to me as well as to all Khmer citizens, such act is completely disturbing and embarrassing as Cambodia flag is the only one that has been flying so. It shall thus never be acceptable and allowed since flag can mean a matter of life and death for a nation on the international arena as it represents a nation’s face, prestige, identity, pride, patriotism, nationalism, unity and soul, etc., in particular when Cambodia is chairing the ASEAN Summit.

Does this not imply a disrespect of Cambodia and her people as a whole or is it a flag desecration? Or does it mean a declaration that Cambodia is a nation in distress or emergency situation that deserves immediate international help? Have the Cambodian Ambassador to the UN and his team ever noticed about this? Definitely, a proper explanation is required should the Cambodian government be serious about that.

Although Cambodia flag has been inscribed in the Constitution, it has been noted that not much attention has been paid to the proper use of Cambodia flag domestically or internationally while the country has yet to have any Flag Code or Flag Protocol. Unlike in the US or other nations, the country has never observed a single national Flag Day. In addition, the issue of flag of convenience remains a headache for the Cambodian government. Yet, not many actions have been seen actively taken.

It is time that our government should start thinking about this issue seriously if it really wants to raise Cambodia’s image internationally and does not want to repeat such embarrassing which could imply its weaknesses. While it is widely said that, “We weave the flag, we live under the flag and we also die under flag;” or “A patriot wraps himself around the flag to defend it; a scoundrel wraps it around himself to defend himself,” how far has these ideas been practiced and upheld by Cambodian government and its citizens?

Sincerely yours,

Sovannarith Keo

    I would say all those gangsters in the Cambodian government are careless about the national Flag or Cambodian Flag whatever you wanted to call it. All they care is Power, Money, and wealth.

    It's a sign that the nation is in distress.

    But it's just an error and no big deal.

    Someone please contact the UN to fire this idiot who disrespect our national flag. This is not a mistake, this idiot did on purpose. He or she probably Siam, Youn, Lao descendent. All three I mentioned are Khmer thief neighbors. These three are always looking to disrespect Khmer race. Three days ago I went to Laose restaurant and looking into their menu I ONLY see Lao, Thai, Youn foods. It's like Khmer doesn't exist in their minds. Check out rice bag and you see Siam, Lao, Youn only.

    When we at this restaurant me, family and friends were discussing Prasat Preah Vihear about Siam thieves trying to steal what's not their. You can see the Laotian waitress and owners were stairing at us with hatres. You would think Lao people don't care about Siam but they do very much. Their two governments had fought war before but these two peoples are much closer to each others. Fucking Laos and Siam now are building Xamburi Dam upstream of Cambodia Mekong river. This dam will fuck up Cambodia fisheries and rice production. Our Tonle Sap will be affected. They are trying to kill Khmer peoples this way. Cambodia must keep a close eyes on this three thieves.

    Cambodian flag that flied upside down is for fake Democracy of CPP regime controlled and led by evil and dumb Hun Sen, Whore (Hor) Five (Nam) Honk (Hong), Yuon/Vietcong CPP supporters in Cambodia and CPP has been a secret plan of evil Yuon/Vietcong masters in Hanoi. The UN needs to be aware of the dirty secret plan from Yuon/Vietnamese masters in Hanoi and their evil Satan Ho Chi Minh.

    CPP supporters are so stupid that is why Cambodian Flag is upside down at UN Head Quarter in NYC.

    Yuon/Viet Masters are the main causes to Cambodia and Cambodian (Khmer) people and the ones (Yuon/Vietnamese masters in Hanoi) installed dumb peasant Hun Sen (never finished High School) as PM illegally and allowed the illegal Yuon/Vietnamese immigrants to stay in Cambodia without proper paper works.

    There must be Yuon/Vietnamese workers (who pretend to be Cambodian citizens) at the UN caused that problem by putting Cambodian flag upside down. Vietnamese/Yuon masters, leaders or folks are very evil with big mouth about their fake Vietnamese history in the world because those Yuon/Vietnamese folks were originally from China had no land and stole land from Champa by killing all Cham (Islam people) and stole land from Cambodia (Southern Vietnam - Fake) that belong to Cambodia

    Dumb Cambodian Ambassador is Yuon/Vietnamese folks who hid and lived in Cambodian illegally until these dumb Cambodian (Yuon/Vietnamese folks) ended up with the good jobs with dumb brains that embarrassed real Cambodian/Khmer people who know everything. Those dumb Cambodians (Yuon/Vietnamese) are parts of bad CPP regime coming from evil Communist Yuon/Vietnamese. Those evil Yuon/Vietnamese folks became Cambodian folks who did not know what they are doing and they have guns and powers to scare Cambodian and Laos people. These Dumb Yuon Dog eaters are the major causes and environment destruction to Cambodia and every part of the world. That is why they did not care and destroyed the image of Khmer/Cambodian people and nation. You can see ones of examples of evil Yuon/Vietnamese evils like Hor Num Hong, Hor Nam Bora, Sok An, Sok Kong, etc...

    The war against Vietnamese/Yuon masters in Hanoi is an option because those evil Yuon bastards have led dumb Hun Sen to destroy Khmer/Cambodian people and nation and beyond. The people around the world begin to know the bad things about Vietnamese/Yuon evils that cause too many problems to Cambodian/Khmer people as well as Laos.

    This is quite OK with the Hun Sen regime, because they are too busy oppressing their own people back home and have no time to worry about outsiders' behavior.

    Many times we saw other international ships carried Cambodian flag of convenience, and witnessed zero protest from the inferior Hun Sen regime.

    All Hun Sen regime care is money for their own family and their mafia lifestyle.

    it shows ignorant and uneducated about cambodia by some of the world organization out there, i think. flags display like this should be common sense to check and see the correct way to fly them by the people who were in charge at the UN place in new york. there is no good excuse at all about this careless mistake. and don't politicize this because it show bias, prejudice, discrimination, etc against cambodia. it is everyone's responsible to be proactive and help to promote and look out for our country cambodia no matter what political party or what differences anyone may have, really. we all can help to make a good difference for our beautiful country of cambodia, ok! don't wait for someone else to correct or say something about it, if we see it's wrong or fraud or abuse, then report it the proper authority right away. two wrongs don't make it right, correct it asap! how would anyone like it if cambodia fly their flag backward, upside down, or use wrong colors or wrong design, etc on your national flag? well, think about how cambodia and khmer people would feel as well, ok! don't hate us, just correct it. get educated about cambodia's flag, etc already, please!

    UN employees did not know how to install the flag at the UN. It is ashame, Wonder the why the USA cut their fund to support them while back for their incompetent on other issues.

    UN should be trained how to do their job. They were neglect, they should be suspeneded for a couple days of their job.

    Once again, it shows the incompetent at the UN from the bottom to the top. These morron got paid high on their salary and had no clue.

    A flag flying upside down causes a stir. It is a shame and the Cambodian officials don't seem to mind. But the country has been running backward, losing territory to neighbor, killing its own citizens, and poisoning its own land, how loud has the cry been? If those don't matter, then flying flag upside down is a reflection of the country. Perhaps it is not a mistake; it is a fitting symbol.

The flag returned to its correct position today after posting this writing on KI-Media. Thanks all for sharing your concerns.

    1. UN Plaza does not mean UN Headquarters. The official flags located at UN Headquarter are not these ones.
    2. When you put a flag upside down, in international standards, that means that the country is in a situation of critical emergency and distress: maybe it is the actual case in Cambodia...
    3. Or maybe the guy who put the flag was just drunk...or paid by someone to do it (= politically motivated).
