Understanding why Khmer are so divided. Cambodia’s inhabitants should be called “Cambodian”, in English and Chun-Kampuchea” or simply “Kampuchea” in Khmer. This way every Cambodian will agree and accept Cambodian citizenship, regardless of none Khmer ethnic exclusion.
But when we call them Khmer, social division will appear as only a fraction of them has appreciated its and majority inaudibly says no: I’m none Khmer individuals; I’m half-breed with new face Cambodian. They think they can not change their own race to Khmer’s even though they want to. People can change citizenship, but never be able to get done on origin. For now most Cambodian in the country are politically forced to be self-proclaimed Khmer or in other words, compel to paint themselves Khmer race due to Cambodian constitution in Khmer that has been translated from certain English clauses of Paris’s international accord text, causing false Khmer citizen from the true Cambodian citizen. Khmer citizen in English term is none sense as Khmer is not the name of the country for which, the sole title is Cambodia. Most main stream Cambodian has never accepted to be of what is not his own kind. They are obligated to keep quiet but apprehensive of what they are forced to be bearing. They have a doubt security on where they are living, because they feel foreigners on their own homeland. This is the reason why people just want to immigrate for living in other countries where there are more acceptance with more freedom of expression. If it’s impossible to do so, people will be eager to get a quick-rich or a quick-powerful so that they could make money they may possibly send their kids oversea for better education in a real freedom ship environment experience. When they will be back, they would be in the top team so that they could make themselves top politicians for helping change the country for bringing back Cambodian citizenship to its own place in Cambodian constitution. There were more than 3/4 million Cambodian refugee’s abroad. They fled the country following Khmer rouge’s purge 1975-1979. Now 99% of them are becoming citizens of the country they are living where there are adequate health care along with freedoms of expression, freedoms of choice, and freedoms of belief. Most of them even dare to pronounce things louder than ever. A lot said: I don’t like to participate where there are a lot of true Khmer name although I’m used to be self- proclaimed Khmer, but em’s not. Unlike flourishing Lao’s, Thai’s, Vietnamese’s, Korean’s and Chinese’s associations, Khmer organization are always troublesome due to the fact they name themselves Khmer, which does not represent a broad range of all integrated Cambodia’s inhabitants namely Cambodian. This is a clear weakness of one nation that has been persisting from the change of Great Hinduism Khmer empire to Buddhism.
