I want to tell you that I did not know some khmer words having wrong meaning before I know English, and I know now those wrong meanings, could drive Cambodian to, a self proclaimed Khmer even though they are chinese, to a wrong expression, wrong political maneuvring and wrong decision for even killing their own people as enemies of the country. Look those Khmer scholars from France such as Kiev Sam Phan to Salot Sar (nickname Pol-Pot) etc... then as you see they blame on Youn!....Yuon!...Yuon. And even young Khmer actually in France, they are following SamRainsy and Sien Penh Se's speaches in Khmer words aren't they? All of these troublesome are all from Khmer words, and when people are turned to be understood English, they can see what they did are so wrong, and at the end of the day, they turn away from them.
