I am shocked and sadden to learn that,Bunhean Ung,a very talented Khmer political cartoon artist,whom I have always admired his works,has passed away.He had done a great contribution to our motherland and a powerful campaign for democracy and freedom through his countless cartoons that unwrapped the murky world of Hanoi and its puppet through his cartoon that released a poten messages to all Khmers faster than any other forms of communications,because cartoons arts is very universal language,that can be understood by all men and women from all walk of life.They say:A picture is worth a thousand words.
I am sure he will be missed by all Khmers. He was our True copatriot.
May I send my heartfelt condolences and sympathy to Bunhean Ung's family.
May his soul rest in peace.
