Your tear is our tear, your agony is our agony

All Cambodian people must think that this is not an incident, this is a preventable cause but why it is not prevented? This is not an earthquake, volcano or natural disaster, this is human disaster that capable human can prevent it not to happen.

SOLEMNLY, I WOULD LIKE TO CONVEY DEEPEST CONDOLENCE AND SINCERE COMPASSION TO THOSE FAMILIES WHOSE LOVED ONES WERE DIED ON THE BRIDGE OF KOH PICH.

With this moment, government must bear in mind that those amounts of money donated to the dead and other public excuses are not enough...what is important is government must be accountable by resigning from post of those responsible persons such as Touch Naroth, Kep Chuttima or Hun Sen as well.
As we are Khmers, we cry, weep and agonize to this stampede; but we are not satisfied with the action of our government. The tears from our leaders and those money donated are not enough, they are just the bribe in exchange of several lives disappeared in a place that should not be disappeared.

The investigation must be independent, transparent and reliable in order to receive an honest solution for the long-term prevention of this tragedy in the future.

According to news and confirmation from survival victims, if the authority or policemen intervened on time, the toll of death would not be high like that. However, those victims were stuck in place in more than 2 hours. This is not acceptable for those families whose sons, daughters, wives, husbands, relatives and friends were sadly died.

As we are Khmers, we cry, weep and agonize to this stampede; but we are not satisfied with the action of our government. The tears from our leaders and those money donated are not enough, they are just the bribe in exchange of several lives disappeared in a place that should not be disappeared.

On behalf of those dead bodies who are majorly youths, I would like to appeal to all Khmer nationals and their government to be more rigid with this matter and government must be accountable and doing something more accountable to convince the nation.
