it’s shamefully sad to see from the first place that Cambodian military relies merely on public donation rather than on its own functional mechanism. Most of our people may be proud of their so-called “Nationalism”, if it’s even true, which I doubt, by contributing their money to supply the very basic needs for the troops. But do they ever wonder what the Ministry of National Defense itself is doing? are they a national army or self-funded guerrilla group?

i don’t want to support any war, for whatever the reason, the war is bad. but we must react to this invasion, it’s not a No man’s land. it’s Cambodian’s land. and no one can take it away from us.
the government, for whatever the political reason, they have to react in press, in media, make a forced talk and resolve this. i know it’s not an easy task … because the Thai king is behind and the Thai government themselves have the same issues. however, the person in command to send the troops to those area need to be condemned and take full responsibility to what happen.
we, Cambodian people, have duty to defense our territory.

I reached Preah Vihear town last year but did not reach the temple. I tried to go to temple but my car was stuck in the middle of road towards the temple. I hope once day i will go there again.

Look at how much land we have. I think Cambodia has a big piece of land to take care of its own children

Look at how much had we before. and Look at how much have we now.

We need to depend on the world justice court to take care of our land. We the Cambodian people are also obliged to know what our country has.

Hahaha... I prefer depending on myself than depending on others. But I don't deny the international communities...

If we are truly nationalists, we might learn how to love our culture, our things, our temples and what we have, rather be cheated or angered by some fool's opportunistic or abusive act.

Absolutely right. Totally agree with you.

To Sophon,

Look at how much land we have. I think Cambodia has a big piece of land to take care of its own children.

Invasion or land encroachment of one's land is condemned. I do not support invasion or any unlawful act.

We need to depend on the world justice court to take care of our land. We the Cambodian people are also obliged to know what our country has.

If we are truly nationalists, we might learn how to love our culture, our things, our temples and what we have, rather be cheated or angered by some fool's opportunistic or abusive act. Thats all I can say.

Without talking about natural resources which we don’t know yet, without mentioning any development which is not easy to happen soon, a lose of any inch leads to another lose of another inch later… Then what do we have for our children? Just an opinion not a nationalistic sentiment…
