RIP Chhun Vanna

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Wat Phnom Disques - now there's something worth digging into.
Meum est propositum in taberna mori,
ut sint Guinness proxima morientis ori.
tunc cantabunt letius angelorum chori:
"Sit Deus propitius huic potatori."

I guess he means what could have been if people like Chhun Vanna not been chased out of the country or killed along with so many others who were of value to society

Thank you Element 6. This is exactly what I meant.
Listening to Choun Vanna and hearing that she has died in California, or listening to Sinn Sisamouth, and others, and appreciating their beautiful music makes me melancholic and reflect on what Cambodia could have become with them.
