Khmerlive.tv is not a CPP website

[To:] Sam Rainsy Party of North America
The Secretariat of SRP-NA

P.O. Box 414

Dear Secretariat of SRP-NA,

This letter is to answer your press release dated April 22nd, 2010, more particularly in response to the following quote:
"We have seen a new game being deployed behind the cultural and religious scenes with a certain political inclination in order to try to promote the CPP’s popularity abroad. For a fact, a fund raising event was held to help Haitian quake victims was purportedly presented on Khmer TV Live by one of the CPP’s friend pretending that Cambodian-Montreal were celebrating January 7, 1979 which it wasn’t to start with. It caused enormous resentment in the community and those who showed up for the good cause they believed in. Was the CPP is trying to present to the donors’ nations and the free world that it has solid supports abroad while in reality it has very little, if any? Or is it simply loosing trust among Cambodian mass inside the land due to its long corrupted policies and practices? The jailing of farmers in defending of Vietnam’s planted poles deep inside Cambodia’s territory does not help the CPP-led government’s own image or argument, but rather damaging for good."

"We have seen a new game being deployed behind the cultural and religious scenes with a certain political inclination in order to try to promote the CPP’s popularity abroad."
The CPP party is not associated with my website. The main objective of the website www.khmerlive.tv is to unite the Cambodian people worldwide, regardless to their political trend. The television channel broadcast on the website, Cambodia’s national channel TVK, may perceive that I am for the ruling party (CPP). In fact, I am not bound to any Cambodian political party. On the other hand, I have the utmost respect towards all political parties, associations and foundations working for the development and the prosperity of our country and for Khmer communities around the world. It will be a pleasure to broadcast other live Khmer TV channels, as well as various cultural and political activities of all political parties, including yours, as long as I have the permission to publish it. Up to now, only TVK and event organizers authorized me to publish on my site.
"For a fact, a fund raising event was held to help Haitian quake victims was purportedly presented on Khmer TV Live by one of the CPP’s friend pretending that Cambodian-Montreal were celebrating January 7, 1979 which it wasn’t to start with. It caused enormous resentment in the community and those who showed up for the good cause they believed in."
This assertion is false and unfounded. First, I express my sincere apologies for inconvenience caused to those who came to the event and now feel regret. It has never been mentioned that the event was to celebrate the festival of January 7th, 1979, either before, during or after the event. No political party was attached or mentioned with regard to this event, which is organised by La Chambre de Commerce Cambodge-Canada. The fundraising for the Haitian Relief was held on February 7th 2010. You can view the video diffusion of the event at http://www.khmerlive.tv/liveevent/FundraisingForHaiti/ . The objectives of the team of KhmerLive.TV was to show the solidarity of the Cambodian community in Montreal area towards a country that urgently need help, and to test the live diffusion of video stream in preparation to the song contest taking place on April 10th 2010.

"Was the CPP is trying to present to the donors’ nations and the free world that it has solid supports abroad while in reality it has very little, if any? Or is it simply loosing trust among Cambodian mass inside the land due to its long corrupted policies and practices?"
The initiative to bring live television, and this, completely free to all Khmer community abroad reveals only from the team of KhmerLive.TV based in Montreal and not of the government, nor of the CPP party. Up to now, we only got the permission of the government to be able to rebroadcast TVK live online. Initially, we rebroadcast CTN Channel, which has refused any cooperation with our initiative.

"The jailing of farmers in defending of Vietnam’s planted poles deep inside Cambodia’s territory does not help the CPP-led government’s own image or argument, but rather damaging for good."
Let me emphasize that I fully support your actions to have raised funds through MS-SRP (Moronak Sangkruos-SRP) for the villagers in Svay Rieng. On several occasions, I even announced on my site Sokha Ly’s effort to have risen over $1,100 for these villagers.


Thru this letter, let me take the opportunity to solicit you to invite me to live broadcast various activities and celebrations of your political party throughout my website’s technology. It is with great pleasure to show the various activities of all Cambodian communities and political parties to the large Cambodian community worldwide.

Yours most sincerely and respectfully,

Raymond Kin
