Congratulation Lok Rong Chhun and Chhea Mony for your good activities to help our mother land. Now we see very clear that the government is a tiger with its compatriots but is a chicken with its enamies.

Dear Louk Rong Chhun and Lok Chea Mony and all who joint you,

Khmer in Australia admire, respect and congratulate you for bravery and nationalism.

We condem those power persons behind ordering these brainless soldiers to crack down protesters!

I do agree with the ideal of Mr. Rong Chhun and Chea Mony on behalf of a Khmer citizen. Their protest does not relate to the result of the so-called bilateral negotiation of the strongly corrupted government. Why they use the arm forces to suppress these patriotic protesters? I don't understand this. Why they don't use these properly uniform troops to suppress the invader forces like they obstructed the protesters? May the dog hearts of these leaders stop their braveness with the own compatriots. Can I beg this coward and foreign slave-hood?
