On this auspicious occasion of the Khmer New Year, we wish all our readers and beloved Khmer people everywhere safety, health, prosperity and peace and above all, those unfortunate families and their beloved ones currently being displaced from their homes and villages due to foreign invasion and aggression and being made to remain in abject conditions.
We would like to also recall the immortal and benign words of one of our greatest kings - Jayavarman VII - who penned this memorable phrase: "It is not private afflictions but, public sorrows that make grief of kings". Perhaps, it is not so much the grand stone cities and monuments that he built that truly make him great but, more his love and devotion towards the well-being of his populace throughout his empire.
