Khmers should not blame others for our own problems

Regarding to Thai Luoch Khmer Kroub Yang (Thai steal everything from Khmer) poem. I agree with your writing. 100 % of Thailand land today was part of former Khmer land during Khmer empire. Totally, i agree with you, everything including Khmer culture, Khmer language (speaking + writing), ...etc.

I would like to share my opinion with this issue. Cambodian has own history a thousand year ago. Call history of Blame. Cambodian never say Cambodian make mistake or wrong. Just blame countries neighbor. Before blame, we should know why we have small land like this. Because of our ancient people (khmer in past) going to ask our neighbor to help to solve khmer internal problem. After helping one party to win in internal war, the neighbor countries will get benefit, we cut some of our land to them.... sometime we lost because of war...

Back to recently issue, Khmer VS Thai:

1) Survannaphumi airport, survannaphumi original from khmer word, it meant golden land. In 2006, when thai govt register this name to be thai international airport call survannaphumi airport, Does cambodian govt, issue any statement related to this issue? Sue to world court about this word? What about khmer historian in cambodia, did they do anything? I can say NO. We just accepted it that time. Cambodia society don't speak out.
After that, some of us start talking that Survannaphumi is a khmer word....etc again this time, i see you wrote nothing ....

I am writing this to show my opinion, i do not mean to put the blame on others. Just to let you know.

2) khmer border conflict, preah vihear temple, after 1962, it was clear that world court gave ownership and surrounding lands belong to cambodia. (world court decision + siam-french treaty).
when cambodia govt register that temple to UNESCO, During that time, thai said that the ownership of land is not clear. we should solve border problem first. Cambodia still want to register, after that thai agree, but need cambodia govt to draw new map to put only temple body only. Cambodia agree with that. Remember that, it is a starting point. Thailand may think, it is good time for them to invade. Yes sure after that they start invaded cambodia. They draw new map.

with preah vihear temple, i still think cambodia govt burn this issue. it's not from thai politic...etc Why? if that time, when thai objected about register preah vihear temple. Cambodian govt just bring this deal to UN court again or UNSC. it is enough.

3) i alway heard cambodian people say, thai hate khmer, thai look down on khmer. In reality, khmer use thai product more than other countries product in region. Khmer love thai song, copy thai song to sing in khmer, ............etc

People from khmer, when they come to live in thailand, they never say, they are from khmer, Why?
if you come here as legal, please raise your hand say i am from cambodia. In case we come here as illegal immigrant, i have no idea. they can fight anytime.

I never heard report that, khmer united and When we heart thai look down on khmer, We take this case to sue thai in thai court or world court. We are human living. If they doing some racism.... it's against Human right law.

My last comment, I want all khmer to speak out, Don't just listen, listen until situation got seriously and we start talk,, it will be late....

Don't blame other,, start building our country.

Khmer has history of blame for thousand year... Khmer never responsible for their mistake in their history.

We should start talk as official word, talk in high level class. When we have problem bring that case to world court... sue them...

We always talk unofficial word too much... hope we should reduce it.

Alway love khmer
