If the growing conversations of the possible launch of a new
political party spearheaded by Mr. Kem Ley is true, and that he is roping in the
social media doyenne Miss Thy Sovantha, then they are yet two more recent
examples of Khmer fantastic egotism that have contributed to the inglorious
decline of Cambodia throughout the centuries and that have baffled serious
Cambodian researchers and historians.
Immediately a couple of thoughts rushed to mind:
1.
Human nature feeds the ego, and how much so for
the Khmer ego! It appears that the egos
of Mr. Kem Ley and Miss Sovantha have fallen prey to this feeding, the sudden
surge of gross popularity from obscurity.
2.
The fact that Miss Sovantha is being lured away
from the CNRP should serve as a costly lesson to Miss Kem Monovithya and her
mouthpiece Mr. Eng Ponlork in demonizing Miss Sovantha with shrill
exaggeration, publicly, unfoundedly, repeatedly, in juvenile, bullying fashion,
which only acted to make Miss Sovantha more popular and question her future
with the CNRP (and may just turn her into what they had initially, inaccurately
accused her of being, a CPP operative). Lord Buddha and other traditions warn against envy. There’s a good reason for that.
