Discourse and symbolism in the anti-Thai riots
I’d like to say one thing that every country in the world knows that the Angkor Watt and
many other precious stone temples in Kampuchea belong to the Khmers, and only the
Khmers know how to build such temples. They also know that much of Siam, the so-called
Thailand of today, used to be part of Kampuchea. Not long ago, the Siamese people
were barbarians to the Khmers, and the Khmers’ civilization is to be the most precious and
beautiful on earth. We, the Khmers, were once the most powerful nation, country, in
Southeast Asia, and we will be again forever!
