Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On the evening of 11 May 2022 (Washington, USA time), Samdech HE, Prime Minister of Cambodia was invited to meet with more than 2,000 Cambodians living in the United States and Canada.

While present at that occasion, a Cambodian-American threw shoes at the Prime Minister while he was speaking with people and posing for photos with supporters ahead of the ASEAN-US Special Summit in Washington, DC. As a result, there is a lot of anger about this untoward incident.

Earlier in the day, H.E. Hun Many posted a message on his official Facebook page saying: “This action is absolutely unacceptable. All of us party members and the Cambodian people who support the CPP, cannot pardon nor alleviate the guilt of such extremists. We must remember and not forget their extremism. You also have to remember that those who deliver violence will receive it back.”

Reminder: In the past, Cambodian authorities have treated shoe-throwing as a heinous crime :Woman hunted for throwing shoe at a poster

Again some Khmericans show themselves up by behaving like total morons. Scurrilous Pol Pot and Lon Nol supporters who are so out of touch they believe Hanoi still runs things.

What if you throw say mint NIKE shoes? Is there a difference between that and say an old gumboot?

Asking for a friend.

No difference, a shoe is a shoe. In local beliefs the lower parts of the body ( as in feet) are considered to be the worst thing ever. She done fucked up.

“… You also have to remember that those who deliver violence will receive it back.” ”

Was this an instruction to those in attendance to take matters into their own hands at some point, given the visitors have no authority to act over there?

I'll keep my thongs on for this one.

“… You also have to remember that those who deliver violence will receive it back.” ”

Does this apply the other way or is it only the normal one way street?
