KHMER PRIDE!!!

[samadyks]

បើ​ខ្មែរ​មិន​មាន​សង្គ្រាម​ទេ បច្ចុប្បន្ន​នេះ​ប្រហែល​ប្រទេស​នៅ​អាស៊ី​នេះ​សុទ្ធ​តែ ញញើត​នឹង​ខ្មែរ​មិន​ខាន​សូម្បី​តែ​ឆ្នាំ ១៩៦៥ ក៏​ខ្មែរ​មាន​រោង​ចក្រ​ធំៗ ដែរ

[TCheaKuddy]

We was equal tourist attraction back in the 50-60's wwe would be there with at least Hong Kong. But we always been hated by each other. Thats why we went down. Our leaders was cowards.iT SADDENS ME TO SEE US LIKE WE ARE NOW AND EVEN MORE MADDNES TO SEE WHAT WE USE TO HAVE. WHY? WHY?

[TCheaKuddy]

We was equal tourist attraction back in the 50-60's wwe would be there with at least Hong Kong. But we always been hated by each other. Thats why we went down. Our leaders was cowards.

[LunarShad0w]

Another milestone to consider is the fact that Cambodia finally built its first skyscraper (32 stories high), among the many others planned for the near future. This is a welcoming sign of prosperity and economic revival.

[MrMegatron0101]

hmmm! m really sorry on what we lost

[TheKheang]

we have factory everywhere. we have everything without pol pot our country grow faster than thailand 10 time. Every cambodian should blame to pol pot he destroyed this beautiful country.

[heng1981tang]

@TheKheang yeah pol pot, but don't forgot Youn, and China, include america....

[SPEEDRACERED]

its making me cry.. i know the bad has already came, but watching this makes it even more sad. why does it make it even more sad? its because things were going well and they never knew what hit them. who would have known pure evil, sadness, and genocide will be heading their way..

[Rajani253]

watching this clip is soo hurtful, personally i'm a cambodian woman and to see all that make me happy, but then mean time its sad very sad because everything we have and own was destroy by our own people and those people did this to srok khmai just kill yourself why be in srok khmai when you hurt your own damn people...i think its very stupid for them even face the land in cambodia i'm talk khmer rouge is still living there days....i know there is some and it will hunt them for the rest....life

[vanarith]

Thanks for sharing. Great videos!

[tubo2025]

thank you for the amazing video, hopefully one day srok khmer would be like that.

[phillykhm3rchick]

thanks for sharing these wonderful clips. i enjoyed every second of them. it brings tears to my eyes to see how our country once was or what it could have been. bless Cambodia. hopefully we can regain what we once had.

[kacnika]

Incredible! Thank you for sharing a part of history that has long lost but certainly not forgotten. I firmly believe that all things are possible, togehter we can build a better tomorrow. Do not be discourage, do not be disappointed but be lifted by these images of the past, be empowered to do wonders for our Sacred Motherland that is plagued by foreign invaders. We, the Khmers, are the rightful owners of the land therefore; we should have no fear going about executing those rights!

[rithis5786]

@kacnika Totally agree with you!

[currylova]

i wish this would stay forever

[sexykhmerboy]

i know how how could khmer rouge do this to ur own racist. that is our country and to see how beautiful it was and how it look now and u can't do nothing about it because u were born late it really hard. it so sad nas.

[Somaly13]

Watching this makes me so sad...what a great country it was n now it's all destroyed.

[Fedmarti88]

Seeing this video makes me very sad What a great country srok Khmer was becoming, and if you think about it, all those machines must have been shattered to pieces, most of the people you see as workers on the video must be dead by now.

[davidsroun]

that was amazing!!!! i could not believe that that was cambodia!!! How wandeful it will be if that carry on till today...i think singapore will definately lose to cambodia!

[letterzrnumbers]

wonderfull

[OasisOwner]

Take the past as a lesson and it is now time to move on everyone.

[letterzrnumbers]

i see how you take it, once you have been scard from war.. it can never be healed, it cannot be forgotten, though it can be avoided...though that makes life harder.. it was a silly comment to leave on cambodia 1965.

[nanlovenet]

Cambodia would be the powerful country if there wasn't a decade civil war. If we have good leaders, Cambodia is now the best of Asia. In 1965, some other Asian countries were still poor in their economy, while Cambodia were very strong in every sector, education, agriculture, industry and diplomacy. For instance, Singapore, who is now the strongest economy country among Asia, was duplicate the Phnom Penh map(flower city) from Cambodia. It is unbelievable, but it is true. Some Singapore accept it

[54living]

@nanlovenet Singapore was constructed by Burmese engineers and 4 roads were given the name of 4 cities of Burma; Rangoon, Mandalay, Prome & Moulmein. So far, these names exist in S'gapre. S'gapore municipal acts are old Rangoon municipal acts (colonial days).

[thai1959]

The American govermnet.Not the American people.You can also thank Vietnamese goverment for the horrors of torture and death during polpot era.The Khmer people need a big dose of kindness and help now.

[enmaxlineman]

i was there 2 times and they were futher ahead then then now--That the American's for setting Cambodia back 40 years

[heng1981tang]

not 40 years, it like hundred years if we compare to 1965.

[LunarShad0w]

@heng1981tang

Cambodia's economy is growing close to 10% a year! It shouldn't take the country long to get back on its feet.

[yun514]

fuck khmer rouge and the fucking leader behind the leader i willl love to fuck your mother and tape it you bitch ass mother fucker i juste hate them all i dont knoe why but fuck them all i will kill them all

[dieselislife2]

under pol pot. cambodia was just farms

[micambz]

are you just wake up? everyone knows this, except you at the time.

[thai1959]

I just watched a 6 part series on yotube called "Cambodia (Year Zero" I highly recomend watching this

[samathiksanders]

wow,I was born in 1965! let all of us just pray for our wonderful country. It going to come back strong and glorious. Our Father in heaven, please bless Cambodia nation, stronger than ever before in Jesus name Amen....

[thai1959]

Amen my brother from another mother:-) God bless

[joeyphan]

cambodia not rich like vietnam. Vietnam is the richest in ASIa 1965-1969

[thai1959]

JakReya.You are so right on in your statement.

[JakReya]

As we all fully understand that corruption does grave harm to the society, just like a malignant cancer that will eat its way thru a major organ until it finally bring the host down to its' knee!

By no mean I claimed to be an expert on any of the following issues. It's merely a thought what Cambodia needs most:

1. Clean water

2. Food

3. Housing

4. Jobs

5. Security

6. Health care

7. Politic (most difficult one) until there is a gov't by the ppl and 4 the ppl there will be no progress.

[sling2000]

You forgot EDUCATION.

[oneginee]

no it was in the first or second clip of the series

[JakReya]

We can talk all we want and it's cheap, but without action nothing really get done. Everyone of us count just like a vote. Please draw some inspiration from the following phrase " ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country", said one of the most famous former U.S presidents JFK. Have you placed yourself in that predicament? We all should ask ourselve that very same question and follow up with concrete action.

[schheng]

I agree with you JakReya....nice comment..

[antonandpool]

Cambodia 1965 is better than Cambodia now!!! We used to have factories and well... now we don't.

[enmaxlineman]

I have to agree looking at the 1965 movies.Lets hope Cambodia return to 1965 levels soon.The best part of Cambodia now is the people and the Temples.I will be going again in March for my 3rd time wishing to bring some hope and happiness to the people. Wish i could do alot more for the people.

[micambz]

i don't know when is soon. under today leadership, i am pessimestic.

[SsushiBAR]

i just wanna thanks the particular individual that find these precious clips, i really appreciate it. anyone who comment will never know unless they take a visit for themself and 90% dont want to come back. everybody here could HELP!!! with the exstensive knowledge that we gain here, and land is CHEAP!!!

[maxxikhmer]

supreme king preah bat Jayavaraman VII, he will always be the king of my heart. Proud to be one of his soldier and die for his greatness.

give me a message if you are one of the people who willing to help make our great nation better and corruption free.

[maxxikhmer]

i reckon, 1965, cambodia economy is at its peak, even now a day cambodia cannot compare to the 60s economy. is there a way for us to help rebuild our precious nation back to its glory-ness? we all should help building up our great empire that our ancestors worked so hard to create a beautiful land.

King sihanouk is a puppet of PM hun sen, but isn't there a way for us to help make this changes? and make our ancestors that passed away proud of us?

[KhmerRepublican]

I would like to express my though and the emotion for our nation, cambodia,once was a potency of vast cultural development,but now it has decomposed of political corruption and the lawlessness. Cambodia, she need your help to combat over the evil demons that consuming her from the internal organs. As a khmer person, I am willing to work hard to help our people and the nation as paramount.

[xbabychinitax]

wow they did adidas shoes. is someone know if khmer ppl do all this again after the war??

[siemreap215]

Just inside city got peace how about outside city they did not care,because still fighting outside city!

[ceetboy]

Let's not forget during the Vietnam war, they killed most of the smartest and brightest Cambodian people and started a genocide, about a million people. while the Vietcong build the ho chi minh trail from north Vietnam, to Laos, through Cambodia, into south Vietnam. Now the country is getting smaller and being swallow by neighboring country. :( Remember, Cambodia land use to be majority of the Indo China in south east asia - French colonial. Yes it's proven and I've done my study.

[amerasia5189]

Yes, Ceetboy, I 100% agree with you. Khmer must be aware of sihanouk. Because now, he becomes Hun Sen puppet seen he want to protect the trone for his family.

[ceetboy]

I won't be back if the govt "Hun Sen" hugs all the money and corrupted the systems. Beside, his wife is the president of the red cross in Cambodia. Most of his family and relatives own corp or businesses or have a political seats in office. Come on, its clearly the Cambodia govt are being puppet string by the Vietcong govt.

[krnak]

dont trip cambodia will be back if u guys focus on education and development, and mayb ea lil religion perhaps christianity. heh. just look at korea because it can compare koreans were raped of everything after korean war too, but we are creepin up

[theaprum]

It's quite enlightening for me.

[XxDu7KhgirlxX]

wow, didn't knew about this, cambodia was so nice..it was in a sort of prosperous time and developing so well. It's so sad that stupid wars destroyed the ppl and land :(

[dolomite51]

wow...who knew that in 10 years from then.....

[ronoanh]

Cambodia used to be great, but now it sucks because of her government

[Wiigirl664]

I know! He kills everyone that doens't vote for him to be government. I don't think Cambodia sucks tho. It's my hometown!

[PreahRKhmer]

Preăh Réachéanachâkr Kâmpŭchea

[obertkong]

Great video! Very educational to see how it was back than for my mother and father.

[AquaDragon22]

It looks like what I've told, everything looks so nice. I'm amazed by how it is in 1965. So peaceful.

[MacLee909]

Richard dumbfuck Nixon fucked us over by dropping bombs on us thinking that the vietcong was there...

We been getting fucked over enough its gonna be our time to shine, sooon..

[moonsite]

As much as I don't like Nixon. It is a fact that the Viet Cong did use Cambodia as a safe haven. Check out the Ho Chi Minh trail.

[enmaxlineman]

Nixon said by bombing Cambodia we are doing them a favor??What a thing to say.The Americans dragged Cambodia into the war and Americans also backed the khmer Rouge and even after they left Vietnam in 1973 they continued to back the Khmer Rouge. 35 years later American never took any blame for where Cambodia is now.American come to Sihanoukville this year for the first time in over 30 years to be nice to Cambodians because now Cambodia has something they want?? OIL OIL OIL

[micambz]

i don't know where you get this thing from: Nixon said by bombing Cambodia we are doing them a favor?? the CIA set lon nol to be the cambodian leader at the time cuz the US wanted cambodia to be a democratic nation like the country you're living in today. i guess that shows you why american took no blames.

[siccmad3]

nice to see all of this but if the war didnt happen i wouldnt be in the U.S

[scotthall82]

lol. i agree. well at least cambodia is progressing now. we just have too many idiots living there.

[Senglou007]

Hell Yes Dude .. ! Fuck allll The war man .. why all this Fuck up People .. don`t Die all men! shirt! i wish some

 of it Die .. nice Video man ..

[Khmerican1]

My country will continue heal AFTER the current Government undergoes some MAJOR changes, then we can talk about what will be great...

HELP FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, PLEASE!!!!

[thavannsaing5194]

I'm proud to be Khmer after all. No wonder that Khmer was name a Strong Black Country. I really hope one day we'll rebuil our country. I will go back home to teach! Thanks for sharing. Yes...they should show this in Cambodia and also in the history or travel channel etc. so that they know how Cambodia was!

[girliecars]

being a khmer, do u know much about the peope land being sold behind there backs, by the government?

[habodabi]

One day Cambodia will become stronger and better than it ever was. Historical documents like this should be shown in all schools to ensure Cambodia and the rest of the World will never forget their true heritage.

[fishsauceandlime]

What is Khmer rouge?

[retrodude01]

Khmer rouge is the regime years ago that murdered and tortured hundreds of thousands of innocent Cambodians.

Horrible evil times in that poor country.

[sivhengu]

Khmer Rouge is French word for: Red Khmer or Khmer Communist (Khmer Krohorm). Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia in April,1975. We call them as A pot.

[nickie1006]

One day our country will be back to normal and fill with all the amazing and intelligence people that we lose during the khmer rough. Our country will raise to the top and become better then Thai people that alway look down on us and think that their better then us.

[fishsauceandlime]

People look down on others because they fail to understand the consequences of creating such disturbing emotions. If the truth was known about hate, jealousy, and all thoughts of negativity than this world would be on a peaceful path to the end of suffering.

[suvanut]

i agree with u- thai people thing that khmer people always bad-and cambodian is a great country-maybe better then thai if there is no war.

[aminex]

cambodia would of been "better" than thailand if there was not war.

[limoleboss]

I real really like this video cuz i never see befor. i just heard from my mom she's said when its still 1965 in pp its beaeuteful its every nice , so wenderful .but now i seew its its real i'm so prote of khmer .

[saigonpunkid]

all of the workers here were killed?

[Sport2006]

Before Khmer rouge ( Khmer Red ) was great.

[baulid]

iam a young personne in this generation and i always knew that khmers was the best people and country from sud asia and maybe some country in europe since the time of Angkor Wat and i say F.U.C.K WAR! i want it to give me again my grand-parents!!!!

[mrfugi970]

For the younger generation out there, you know who you are. This was what your grandparents went through and still today. So think about it. The video is a reminder of who we really are, hard workers, not a gangster, killers or welfare collectors. Rebuild our pride.

[kevanu]

omg adidas!

[kka111]

Great job! Thank you very much.

[habodabi]

Amazing!

[kasem63]

an inspiration for the next generation

[Phawat]

this is the amazing thing about my country!!!!i hope one day it will be like that again!!

[BNRB26DETT]

Thanks man.:)
