Ambassador Carol Rodley (R) presided over an American-assisted project in Cambodia.Nine Cambodians To Pursue U.S. Graduate Studies as Fulbright Scholars in 2011-2012
AKP Phnom Penh, June 15, 2011 –Nine Cambodian scholars will leave soon for the U.S. to pursue graduate studies as Fulbright Scholars for the 2011-2012 academic year, according to a press release of the U.S. Embassy.
The opening ceremony of the pre-departure orientation for new Fulbright Scholars will be held on June 16 in the Embassy’s main conference room. U.S. Ambassador to Cambodia Ms. Carol A. Rodley and Minister of Education, Youth and Sports H.E. Im Sethy will preside over the opening ceremony.
The Fulbright Program was established by the U.S. Congress in 1945 as a means “to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries.” The Fulbright Fellowship program was re-instituted in Cambodia in 1994. Since that time, 132 Cambodian students, including these nine Cambodian students, have pursued programs of graduate study in the U.S., and 50 American Senior Scholars and Specialists have come to Cambodia to work in local universities. For 2011, the U.S. State Department has allocated US$500,000 for the Cambodian Fulbright Program.
Several Fulbright returnees are working in key positions in the Ministries of Finance, Agriculture and Natural Resources Preservation, and Interior. Many others are lecturers at different universities and national program officers for health and other rural development programs under the auspices of a variety of international and non-governmental organizations.

Are you tried to bargain or negotiate with PM Hun Sen again like 2005 lawsuit at America??? Why?? Why??
We want to see Mr Sam Rainsy act as he said to sue PM Hun Sen in every democracy Countries court of justice around the world.
We want the results as transparency, from your progress in suing PM Hun Sen in every court of justices!!!
We are Cambodian people afraid that you are just using the lawsuit to scare PM Hun Sen than when PM Hun Sen gives you (Mr Sam Rainsy) green light. You again, hang your Lawsuit like 2005.
Mr Sam Rainsy, You must do as you said, otherwise you the same as Mr Kim Soka.
Mr Sam Rainsy, where are your law suit VS Hun SEn in America Court of justice? We want to see and hear the stories transparency because we afraid that you are just try to bargain with Hun Sen like 2005 again.
We Cambodian people as well as your supporters are waiting to see your real action in suing PM Hun Sen (In America Court of justice, all countries’ court of justice in Europe, Japan Court of justice, Australia Court of justice, New Zealand court of justice, Canada court of Justice, UN court of justice, World Human Right court of justice, NATO court of justice…) as you Mr Sam Rainsy said.
Mr Sam Rainsy must do as you said OK. Don’t you dare to bargain with PM Hun Sen like 2005 again?
May be you can’t be Prime Minister of Cambodia because of unfair election as 5-6 million Vietnamese votes for Hun Sen and Hun Sen add up his cheating skill in every election but you can be a great Khmer Hero by suing PM Hun Sen about the facts that he has done to Cambodia and Cambodian people so far.
If you Can’t be Prime Miniter due unfair election all the times but Mr Sam Rainsy, you can gives a great stain to PM Hun Sen and CPP Vietnam slave about their crimes against Cambodian people since 1970 until today.
Is it Yim CHHAYLY next to the US ambassador? If it's really Him, what a shame! He is on ofr the notorious Corrupt government officials. When he was Monister of Health in the year 80's and 90's, he was abigt thieft. He sold Minister's Drugs to the black market.
