Sok An's birthname is Hoa Van Anh


By Mark A. Smith, DSC,
Major, USA, Retired
Source: www.rossie.com: The Great Cambodian Debate

Read the article below and you would know that in his birth certificate, Sok An's birthname is Hoa Van Anh.

"...Then we have Cabinet Minister Sok An - but I remember him by the name his mother gave him in his birth place of Vietnam; Hoa Van Anh."

Many years ago, I chased the current Police Chief of Cambodia around Tay Ninh Province of the then Republic of Vietnam. Though now known as Hok Lundy, he was then named Nguyen Van Son. The actual leader who asked the Vietnamese to intervene was Pen Sovan. He, of course, fell from power and was jailed in Vietnam when the relative of his wife, Pham Van Dong, lost out to the the relative of the wife of Hun Sen; Do Moi. Before this event, Hun Sen was only number 8 in the leadership sponsored by Vietnam.The reason the U.S. Government did not recognize the Government installed by Vietnam was not because it supported the Khmer Rouge, but because true Cambodians had little or no say in that Government and little now.

----Much is made of the U.S. and Thai support for the resistance to Vietnamese occupation. Many have made this to mean support for the Khmer Rouge.The only group not needing U.S. support was the Khmer Rouge. China more than adequately supplied them at the request of then Prince Sihanouk. Many nations assisted the non-communist resistance to Vietnamese occupation.


----The assertion the U.S. bombed and killed 200,000 Cambodians is straight out of the Vietnamese propaganda program. I was captured by the Communist Vietnamese in 1972 in Vietnam and held in Cambodia in Kratie Province. Present with the Vietnamese in that camp, at various times, were those who later were the elite of the Vietnamese faction of the Khmer Rouge. My camp had been over run by three divisions of North Vietnamese straight out of sanctuaries in Cambodia.

---At that time one of the advisers to Pol Pot was Kiet Chorn, now the Finance Minister of Cambodia. If you would like to sell fuel over the Thai border into Cambodia, see Tiep Khunnal, now the Deputy District Chief of Phnom Malai. But I remember him as the secretary of Pol Pot. Even in the early years, Kiet Chorn was known as "The Lucky Man." His father was the man tasked by then Prince Sihanouk to sell rice through NVA General Le Duc Anh to the Communist Vietnamese Army. Did that make the U.S. question the much heralded Sihanouk "neutralist"position? Yes,it sure did.

----Then we have Cabinet Minister Sok An - but I remember him by the name his mother gave him in his birth place of Vietnam; Hoa Van Anh. All these wonderful fellows met as Khmer Rouge under the tutelage of the North Vietnamese Army.

----It is the above and much more, including the fact Tiep Kunnal is married to the powerful former wife of Pol Pot, which truly denies the Cambodian people justice. Then there is the fact that the Vietnamese and Hun Sen allowed former Hun Sen mentor Leng Sary to join Fidel in Cuba, far from the short arm of Cambodian law.

----Before chastising others based on your latest book purchase, I suggest you get some real experience.

A day dream who pretend to be a US major is a laughable matter and then try to have all of us believe in him is just too much for me. I don't know what kind of words I should use to describe this guy. A fool might not be enough.

The CPP got used to brainwash people and now some people wrote something negative about them, which might be right, but they don't like it.

I don't believe 100% in these articles, but at least they shed some lights into the secret networks and history of some of the CPP leaders. I knew some people who went to university with Sok An. They said Sok An was not his name, he said his name was something else but I forgot what it was. The same as Cham Prasidh. It is not his real name, his real name was something else, but when he joined the CPP in 1979 he changed his name to Cham Prasidh, like what Sok An did.

Oh my God! this article doesn't say about God. Ok! now let's go back and talking about this article.

All ministers in all sides of the party should declare their background to our people,as they are responsible for our national interest.
They should tell us where they were born. What they have done in the past. Had they involved in killing our innocent people like Hun Sen and Heng Samrin or they are fake Cambodian citizen like Tea Banh,who was Vietcon in the 70's.

Why this article worth discussion or debate? We even don't know who write this shit...honestly...wake up guys..I know Hun Sen has connection with the VN or he is always acting inferior to the VN. But seeing some guys here trust this article without even think for a minute is so insane to me...We are living in the modern society now..Our people used to believe in sth rubbish in the past, such as Puth Tumneay..., Now it is time to use our brain...
If the opposition use this as a tool for political gain, they are wrong...completely fool...It only makes them worst..

Why all that stragedies about the name of someone.
First we should ask ourselves, how many names we do have today ?
Why some of us live outside Cambodia, like in the US changed their old name from Koy to a new name Calvin ?

The reason why i talk about god in here is because of the level of stress in here was sky-high,maybe god the only sources that can release your stress.

Well,believe in yourself, use your own ability to weight out the facts, or fictions or perhaps fantasy.In the case of the Article of Mark A.Smith,maybe some were true,some were just to fuel the debate put more spikes to create Khmer against Khmer.

Yuon knows Khmer weak point of view they exploit it to disrupting our UNITY,
the truth is out there find it yourself.

If you seek,you will find,if you knock the door shall be opened,if no one there to open keep on trying....

Now everyone seems to forget that the killing field were internal affair,and, puppet,PM Hun Sen came to power by himself,but in fact they all were cleverly directed behind the curtain by Hanoi's director.

The truth is Hanoi own everything from Angkor Wat to million hectares of farmlands,rivers and lakes for 99 years.As a result of this,our people have been push to the extreme poverty.500,000 at lease have migrated to Thailand and Malaysia to slave for peanut wages.many young ones were raped and abused and some,sadly,were killed like animals.

Natural assets such as iron ore, silver and gold mines too are also owned by Hanoi and its puppets.And the most concerning cases are that many of our borders posts have been moved deep inside and land swapping is underway.
Mind you,the map shape,and size of our country is not the same any more if you follow the new Hun's politics of land swapping with Hanoi.

Hun Sen has already given full right to Hanoi,Business partner,Xok Kong to control oil when it is in production in the next few years.Xok Kong will in turn give some small share to Hun Sen and the rest will be in Hanoi's bank account, just like millions of dollars,of state income, raised from Angkor Wat ticket fees each year.It's all disappeared without a trace,not even a penny of that money have been put into state account,and no one dare to talk about it. Don't forget that Hun Sen by now is not a millionaire but billionaires of course.

We should remember too that Tea Banh,Cambodian in-chief of armed forces,was Vietcong.He is Viet,he can't speak Khmer words clearly if you listen carefully you will hear his unclear cut of Viet-Khmer accent. Hanoi could not afford to take risk to give this job to any Khmer person to run Khmer army behind their 200,000 troops,which were intended to stay for good,but the communist block USSR collapsed in 1989,and Hanoi's troops repatriated,but its mechanism is left behind intact and working very effectively up to now.

That because Cambodia has been Hanoi's play ground since the 50's,so do not surprise that there are so many Vietcongs have infiltrated in every part of our society and institutions.Even in the palace in the 60's-the 70's were full of Vietcongs,some were working as tailors,cooks,politicians and some were chief police,just like Hok Lundy and so on.

Now,even much easier for Hanoi to implant its agents and spices as our people are so confused after the genocide of the Khmer Rouge,even the King,Sihanouk, doesn't mind as long as his palace is lifted.He did not care much about who is who.

Millions of Viets are everywhere.They are free to come and settle.They even have more rights than our people and they are even richer than our people.Why?because they got secret fund and health care direct from Hanoi to encourage them to settle in our country and they are also protected by Vietcongs in CPP such as Tea Banh and so on.

Politics,somehow, is like a Magic show, sometime,you can not see the truth.It make you feel that the killing is our internal affair and Hun Sen is brilliant,he made his way up from a pagoda boy to be a statesmen.For many Khmers the show have made them feel magic and they completely lost in the bubble paradise that is created by Hanoi's magician.

Your children's lives are in your hands.Look at their faces.We can't afford to make another mistake.

Think twice!

Tea Banh, he can't speak Khmer words clearly if you listen carefully, you will hear his unclear cut of Viet-Khmer accent.

Big mistake! You are wrong, Tea Banh is Sino-Thai descent

Why True Khmer and the damn Mark Smith are sounding alike. The way they'd written are completely having the same style from start to finish.

They are a bunch of people haters and love to make up storied. Maybe a person who miltiple personality.

He often calls himself True Khmer, who has a PH. D. in Math, and a retired US Major. I wonder what would be his next personality. A little boy?

True Khmer has his points.There is no way Hun Sen can be a dictator without
Hanoi.
Cambodia security is link to Vietnam,because Kampuchea Krom issue is still unsettle.
Khmer race could become big and powerful again if Khmer Krom could be free from Hanoi.
I believe True Khmer try to warn us about Hanoi's dirty politics.

true idiot,why would a Yankee army Major knows so much about Cambodian politic ? as if he really care about flies on an eleppant's ars. you are truly an idiot who making all these up while playing with your old man. to be honest, you sounded a lot like a siem ladyboy to me. you are a Khmer patriot, a true Khmer, a Phd holder in mathematic, a university professor and above all, a full time wanker.

You'll be surprised to know that the Yankee of American army know more than average khmer's folks or even more than you about Khmer's politic.Because the Yankee can read and write better than you in English,or perhaps the Yankee got more schooling than you or your ancestry combines.

That is the reason that he[Yankee] knew that HunSen was a traitor or treason signed treaty [1985] given khmer's land away to youn Hanoi (Koh trol) an exchange for power and wealth to enrich himself until these day.....Please stop name calling,be civilized talk with respect even if you disagree with an individual....
