Hello Mr. PM Hun Sen and Khmer brothers and sisters. I’m one of Khmers krom, but I’m not living in Cambodia either in Kampuchea krom. Actually, I came to the United States for thirty years ago. I’m writing this letter to you PM Hun Sen because I have been admiring and supporting you from the bottom of my heart. Compared to a several previous generation, you are a good leader. However, I’m sure that you might-have-been remembered what happened before 1970 when the King of Sihanouk was a chairman at the time. I didn’t mean to make him feel bad about what he did, but I just can’t keep it in my heart forever. Sihanouk mess up the country because he fed alligator (HoChiMinh); he himself also knew what he did. In the last few decades, Cambodia had lost so much land just because of the Khmer Empire. Thai, Vietnamese communist, and Lao tried to take advantage of Khmers King kindness, and stool our land. Now is the 21st Century, the young generation will not repeat the mistake that the old generation had made in the past. My understanding is, Cambodia government can allow to all foreigners who desire to live in Cambodia; otherwise, they must follow the rule of the Cambodia Government just like Khmer citizens. Here are several example rules that they must be following: 1) they must learn the language, 2) they must be able to fill out of the legal documents, 3) they must joint army and serve just like Khmer citizens do, 4) if they attempt to act against the government then they will sentence to prison for life or death penalty, 4) all of the government documents must be Khmer and English languages only.
I had proved and seen in my own eyes that Yuon Hanoi and Thieu’s regime alleged that they wanted Khmers krom to die, so they were always put Khmers krom in front-line just like Thai did to Khmers Surin. I felt sad and sick in my stomach when I saw Khmers died in irrational way. This is not funny to Cambodian people at all. This is a serious matter that Khmers leader should pay a closer attention. Khmers young generation can do better but depend on a leader. My understanding is the Education department of Cambodia must create the flyers and small books; the comment will be written a brief explanation about the history of Cambodian people and original Geography. It can help Khmers Phnom Penh, Khmers Surin, and Khmers Krom understand more about history of people and geography. On the other hand, the Cambodia Government must drop the flyers all over the provinces where the Khmers Surin and Khmers krom when we needed. Therefore, Cambodia Government must show them respect, welcome, and promise that we were born in the same blood and language. God of Buddhism will bless and bring all Khmers together in one Nation and united. I believe that Khmers must defeat the enemies because Khmers are tall, strong, brave, confident, trustful, and well trained. God knows Khmers can do it. So please, think about it twice. We come together, we will build a better Cambodia and live a better life. As a result, if you agree or disagree of my opinions, please email me at newpageofhistory@yahoo.com thanks! We are Khmers, we were born in the same blood and language. One more thing that I want to remind Khmers brothers and sisters. Don’t listen and believe to Vietnamese communist old school propaganda, and Don’t feed alligator (Vietnamese communist, HCM). I’m sure that the United States and China know who is an “ALLIGATOR” --->(Ho)---->Ho flip-flop! Ho went to Guangzhou, China and worked as a dishwasher at one of Chinese restaurants; shamed on him.
Their qualifications look impressive. I hope Cambodian team has done a good job and Cambodia will win like in 1962.
