The True History of Khmer Krom [3] Oknha Son Kuy Was Brutally Beheaded in 1841
[email protected] The True History of Khmer Krom [3] Oknha Son Kuy was brutally beheaded in 1841 SLK 10/01/2009 Oknha Son Kuy, who was the best example of all Khmer heroes, had sacrificed his life to save his Khmer race from the Atrocities and Genocides of Yuon leaders who were/have been/will be trying to erase the Khmer Map out of this world. The people in the outside world know nothing about the brutalities, oppression, genocides and Vietnamization of Cambodia. In here I don’t even know how to find English words to be written and read by my readers around the globe because I found it in Khmer histories so brutal, so oppressive, so inhumane, so dictatorial…of Yuon treatments against Khmers are so disgusting and despicable . That’s why the Khmer people really hate Yuon so far so worse. But Yuon Leader are so cunning who always go with the wind/world situation. Yuon leaders who always tactfully have sealed off their dirty pogrom plans against Khmer landlords in the eyes of world and Cambodian people so far so good. SLK v.2 [3] Oknha Son Kuy was brutally beheaded in 1841 THE world must admit that it is lacking of the UN human rights and other independent human rights expert organizations in Vietnam. Therefore credible monitor and report of human rights and the civil liberty of the people in Vietnam could not go beyond what is observed from afar. In fact, the areas of human rights of all people in Vietnam, the Khmer Krom people and other minority have never been addressed seriously by any legitimate UN organizations. -

Essai De Tableau Chronologique Des Rois Du Cambodge De La Période Post-Angkorienne
ESSAI DE TABLEAU CHRONOLOGIQUE DES ROIS DU CAMBODGE DE LA PÉRIODE POST-ANGKORIENNE PAR MAK PHOEUN* RÉSUMÉ Depuis le milieu du XIVe siècle, les chroniques royales khmères font se succéder sur le trône du Cambodge cinquante-cinq souverains, dont deux reines. L’établissement d’un tableau chronologique de ces monarques pose un certain nombre de problèmes, les plus importants se rapportant à leurs noms-titres et aux dates de leurs règnes. On peut scinder ce tableau en deux parties distinctes. La première (XIVe-XVIe siècle) demeure encore controversée et sujette à révision, tandis que la seconde (siècles postérieurs), sans être définitivement établie, présente des caractéristiques beaucoup plus solides. Mots-clés: Cambodge, histoire, XIVe-XXIe s., rois, noms-titres, chronologie. ABSTRACT From the middle of the 14th century, the Khmer royal chronicles present fifty- five sovereigns (two of them were queens) who have succeeded to one another on the throne of Cambodia. The setting of a chronological chart of these kings raises a few problems, the most important ones deal with their names-titles and the dates of their reigns. This chart can be divided into two distinct parts. The first part, (14th-16th centuries) remains much debated and subject to be revised. The second part (following centuries), is not yet definitely substantiated, but shows more convincing characteristics. Key words: Cambodia, history, 14th-21st c., kings, names-titles, chronology. * Directeur de recherche au CNRS (FRE 2380: Asie du Sud-Est continentale. Peuples et contacts).

While working on this book, I learned that power can be very seductive and addictive; and for this reason, kings or people with power would not voluntarily relinquish what they had and they would use any means necessary to maintain their control for absolute power.
