A Saint Or A Sinner?
Mam Somaly: The Shit that Newsweek Shed
For those who have read Dante Aligheri's Divine
Comedy, this brilliant Italian writer had outlined
different stages in Hell for most people to be
in after they died. If my memory didn't fail me,
the lowest level of hell was reserved for Satan,
the falling angel, who used his saintly image to
mislead others. When I read the damning story
of Somaly Mam using lies and deceptions to garner
support for her "crusade" against sexual
exploitation of young women, my stomach begins
to churn with disgust and a sense of disgrace.
My initial reaction was: "Oh dear, here comes
another disgrace story about Cambodian." As a
Cambodian, I can's help but asking: What happens
to us? Have we had any sense of morality in our
soul anymore? Of course, we should not blame a
few bad apples on the whole society. But we,
Cambodians, seem to have too many bad apples in
our society. As a Khmer saying goes: "Fish in
a basket, when one is rotten, all the fish in
the basket will eventually be rotten." With this
saying in mind, we, Cambodians, should all look
in the mirror and do some soul searching whether
we have done enough to counter the temptation of
commiting vices for personal gains. In the
meantime, let us pray for Somaly's soul that Yama
(Yumareach) will be lenient and show understanding
when judging her.
