Fundraiser to help Cambodian Space Project singer Kak Channthy’s son
23 March 2018
A Fundraising effort for the 13-year-old son of Cambodian singer Kak Channthy, who was killed this week in a traffic accident, is underway, with friends and well-wishers to gather for several events in the coming days.
The lead singer of the Cambodian Space Project, 38-year-old Channthy was killed in a crash in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Her body was laid to rest on Thursday in Prey Veng. Fundraising efforts are being spearheaded by her close friend Sao Sopheak, a DJ and filmmaker.
“We were best friends and we were supposed to perform together this Saturday but unfortunately she died . . . I’m very upset,” she said on the phone from the funeral. “Now the event has changed to a memorial.”
What was supposed to be a casual performance at Phnom Penh’s Meta House featuring the two friends, with Sopheak as DJ and the Space Project frontwoman singing, instead will be a musical tribute to the late artist, and one of several fundraising efforts to ensure her son Makara can continue his schooling in Phnom Penh.
Already fundraising efforts have cropped up at the Little Red Fox Espresso in Siem Reap, which will hold an event on Sunday night, and at Oscar’s on the Corner in the capital, which will be accepting donations at its 10th anniversary concert on Saturday night.
At Meta House’s Saturday event, films and photos featuring Channthy will be projected and there will be live performances by the surviving members of the Cambodian Space Project, as well as by Khmer rock revival group Aram Khmer and hip-hop artist MC Lisha.

PPP article updated (20 March) with more on the accident:
https://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/ ... 38-updatedThe accident occurred at about 1:30am near the intersection of Street 163 and Mao Tse Toung Boulevard, when a 21-year-old driving a Toyota Prius allegedly collided with the tuk-tuk in which Channthy was travelling.
Witnesses interviewed by local media at the site said it appeared Channthy had been knocked from the tuk-tuk and hit her head against the ground.
The Prius driver was charged with negligent driving causing injury, which carries a maximum prison term of three years, according to Phnom Penh traffic police deputy chief Sem Sokunthea.
Sokunthea said Channthy was travelling in the tuk-tuk with a British man, who was taken to Hong Hak Clinic for medical treatment.
According to Nerm Penh, deputy police chief of Tuol Tompoung I commune, the driver was taken into protective custody by police before being transferred to the traffic authority.
“The suspect was sent to commune police office in order to prevent the mob violence,” Penh said.

Any update on the driver of the car and the charges?
At this intersection, there should be video footage, right?

A very poignant photo Jamie. I hope the little guy can get through the tragically early loss of his mom.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

I'm sure she said that she had a green light, and that she had a dash-cam.
Interesting.

Sometimes it takes a tragedy to make or break a person, but judging by the look in that kids eyes he now has a purpose in life , to carry on the legend and singing career of his mother. I bet if we look into his life ten years from now we will find him doing OK, and good luck to him.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
