In its first daily edition, the Phnom Penh Post today published an article discussing the recent trend in cyber-nationalism surrounding the Preah Vihear dispute in the Cambodian and Thai blogosphere. Written by Brendan Brady, the article also quoted several comments from my blog post, “Bark with a Better Sense, Please.”
And just a small correction, I am not a student of RUPP as stated in the article. I guess you all know what I do right? 
Check it out!

Thanks for the post. That’s a very interesting article and the trend to cyber-nationalism is growing. The article should also have looked into comments and ‘verbal fights’ on youtube videos, where particularly the Khmer diaspora is having a big say.

That is so great that Newspaper take this issue to publish. It would be the world to know about Cambodian youth sense in protecting their own territory. The most of Cambodian people don’t dare to respond or reply the comment in some newspapers, especially some thai newspapers that write over the truth about Cambodia….[Let's start to.....]…Ok!

[...] Teng Somongkol, a former lecturer at the Royal University of Phnom Penh and now doctoral candidate in Minnesota, also took to historical literature and blogged a well-documented record about Thai soldiers pushing 45,000 Cambodian refugees off the cliffs of Preah Vihear in 1980. “In fact, man Cambodians, especially those of my generation who was [sic] born in the 1980s, are not even aware that this horrible event took place,” he wrote. “What they were taught was about the Khmer Rouge period, but not about what happened at Preah Vihear.” He noted that, as a Buddhist, his goal was not revenge but only to point out the “terrible things” that have happened at the temple. His commentary earned him a spot in the Phnom Penh Post newspaper. [...]
