Opinion by Phiny Ung
It’s an honour for me that KI Media has reposted my favourite writing to express the love and loyalty towards my mother land SROK KHMER under the title ”Samnawk Meada or Mother’s lament” . Not just with my piece of writing, but with most sensitive articles in relation to human rights abuses, I’ve learnt so much from the bloggers’ comments on both, positive and negatives responses. I read all comments with great interest, equally on the positives and negatives, by trying to understand individual expression on personal interest and reflection, the objective or subjective inputs to the issues are being debated. And I do believe many readers of this blog would do the same as me. As the blog has served the Khmer community all over the world, every piece of contribution has become an instrumental for self expression and reflection.
I personally find all articles posted in KI Media have been well selected by its administrative team to incite debate and encourage critical thinking on issues pertaining to Cambodia and Khmer people. On the one hand it promotes and shares the issues of concern in an open discussion forum through a democratic conscientious dialogue. Unfortunately on the other hand, it attracts many undesired elements who just want to exploit and use the forum for their personal needs and agenda. Very frequently the participation of expressing viewpoints has been distracted by profaned language and paradigms of nuisance. However I am very please for the sensible decision and action being taken by the team, to largely obliterate such negative actions, which is a testimony to demonstrate their principle and ethical values the team uphold.
I urge every participant who has contributed the knowledge and viewpoints to this discussion forum, to uphold the same values as the team, and abide by the rules they have established in order to show our self respect and the respect to them in making your writing to be more beneficial and practical to the Khmer community as a whole. In doing so, we not just shape ourselves to be a genuine caring individual but also to be a part of the cause to change the situation in Cambodia, from unscrupulous and daunting leadership to a common goal for a better and desirable governance. We share our local and worldviews through our freedom of expression with our writing, and consequently we are able to show our gratitude and appreciation to the relentless effort and dedication of the team, thus we are an indisputable reader and participant in the discussion forum.
