DRAMA SCRIPT
THE son OF kambujadesa.

[---]

I love this land. I love the dry wind and fragrance of the golden rice fields in the season of great harvest. I love.. the big swath of water and the fertility brought by our mother river in the season of rains. My mother, my father were born, lived and died here… and so did yours; and so will all of us here, the sons of Kambuj and the dragon mother. Now we are standing here, on this land under the dark storms of clouds and the thirsty wind and in front of the hell God, Yama. And we shall tell them that "All men here fear no death, no hell… and NO MEN".

My friends! I love my wife; I love… my son and daughter. And I love you all… and I love peace. I love the serenity and prosperity in times of peace. But TODAY we don’t fight for peace; WE FIGHT FOR OUR GLORY… FOR OUR PEOPLE… AND FOR OUR LAND... FOR OUR RIGHTS TO LIVE IN THE LAND WE LIVE, ALWAYS LIVE, AND ALWAYS WILL. And at the end of this battle, the world shall see that “NO MEN COULD TAKE PLEASURE IN THE WAR THAT THEY WAGE" and that "NO ONE MAN COULD PROCLAIM EVERLASTING VICTORY".

My countrymen, my comrades, my friends… I admire your strengths, your courage… and your sacrifice. And it is my honor to fight all the wars with you and this last war of ours today. AND TONIGHT WE’LL DRINK THEIR BLOOD AND CELEBRATE OUR GLORY TOGETHER IN HELL… (courtesy 300)

Letter To PRIME MINISTER

Dear Samdach Decho,

I'm very impressed at the not-so-recent development of two new ministerial buildings, the National Assembly and the Minstry of Foreign Affairs. They just look so iconic and remind us of our glory in the past. I very much would love to see that kind of initiative to promote our khmer styled architectures and I believe we do have competent artists and specialists for that.

However, I'd love to feedback that the new Council of Ministers, sponsored by the Chinese governmet, is really a huge disappoitment. I just looks so ugly, unimpressive, plain, and disappoiting to me.

I haven't seen the new building of the Ministry of Tourism yet, but I hope that it is of some encouragement and motivation for the people.

I respect your effots and look forwards to seeing more of your creative, innovative, and visionary developments.

Best regards,

Khemara Phoumirak
