Haing Ngor words truly speak for me as Cambodian man , I was there during the Khmer Rouge era at the age of five years old. At that time I thought everyone in the whole world were living and surviving the same way, i thought that was the norm. I didn’t realize it until came to the US at 10 years old. I became angry at the world for standing by and allowed the killing went on for years and yes I have lost many and many relatives during that time. I appreciated Haing Ngor for standing up for people...R.I.P.
I've been to Tuol Sleng. It's an overwhelming place. I remember someone wrote on a wall - "When this was a school, nobody died. When this was a prison, nobody learned." Haing's monologue at the end was intense.
It was speculated to be an assassination by the Khmer Rouge, but this was ruled out. Three street boys mugged him for his Rolex. He didn't mind losing that. But he wouldn't give him his locket with his only photo of Huoy, his wife. What to say. The human race kills itself in blind greed, jealousy, and fear. R.I.P. Ngor Haing, R.I.P. Huoy
