It was a great eye opening video, they are Khmer as well and I hope they get the help or aid they need. Yeah generations of Khmer Chams lived in boats. Thanks Pat for uploading and letting people be aware what problems people in Cambodia deal with.
I hope Sokha and government can relocate them without any conflict. Their struggles are enough; don’t need another headache. Very informative video and nice of you to have them voice their opinion/need.
This is sad. They are Cambodians too. I hope the government will have compassion and understanding, and find way to help them. They have been living on the boat all their lives. They need help.
@Neicha Reich I am an American, Asian American. I was raised and lived here all my life, ever since I was one year old. So, I don't know what chams is. They spoke Cambodian and sounded like one. I'm sure they were born and raised there, so they are Cambodians.
Where did Chams come from? I never heard of them. But they are still people that needs help. We need to help them. They are struggling to survive in life. Oh, and I'm also part Vietnamese. I'm Cambodian mixed Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese and some European genes. My mom said my grandfather from my dad side is Thai Chinese and a little European. She forgot what European. Usually most Thai and Cambodian are mixed with French but she said it's not that. I did a DNA test from My Heritage and they said I'm a little Finnish, north and west European.
@Neicha Reich that guy doesn’t even know Cham people.how can a person read about Khmer history and not encounter the champa kingdom ? He’s too preoccupied obsessing over his European genes lol.
@Neicha Reich that’s interesting, I’ve been down some crazy rabbit holes myself regarding SEA history. What ever you do, don’t google khmer is not khom. It could have been a Cham fishing village. Because Angkor was more of a nationality than an ethnic group. What do you think of that theory ?
@Neicha Reich because in history books it’s always been illustrated as ruled by the Khmer ethnic group. The only account of what real life Angkor was depicted by a Chinese scholar. He described the ruling class as white skin and fond of silk. And the working class as dark. Come on bro , you act like people could just catch a flight to Angkor back in the days lol, Manhattan. I think Marco Polo may have been the only western documentation of what Angkorian life was about
The tourists would see it if they were in the building that owns the property. Sorry but the people are trashing it. It would be a different story if they kept it clean, but it still isn't theirs. 🤗 Laws are laws. Two sides to every story.
It’s quite interesting to see a smart man like you experiencing people's lives in Cambodia, especially the boat people (Cham.) They live a normal life as a fishery business. Be safe for yourself while adventuring in a foreign land.
Generation to generation, Khmer Islam who lived along Mekong River earned living by catching fish and sell to people. So sad to see how their lives had to go through on daily basis. I hope the government or the company should subsidise their incomes, their housing for these people. No one want to live in such a tiny boat and have no place to land.
cham people are genetically close to khmers despite speaking a austronesian language quote "Comparing the Chams with other Southeast Asian populations reveals that the Chams had a closer affinity with the Mon-Khmer populations in MSEA than with the Austronesian populations from Island Southeast Asia (ISEA).

Such nice people & community they have, hard working and doing what they can to do go for their families. Its a shame they are getting the shitty end of the stick just because they are seen as an eyesore. Sad. Thanks for sharing with us Pat, maybe your efforts will help with these peoples struggle.
I watched a video on TH-cam, a guy called Maurice. He made some absolutely fantastic videos about Cambodia. One day due to having too many strikes for whatever TH-cam deleted his channel of all his videos and life’s work going back for years, absolute evil for stuff, He explained how Malaysian missionaries came to Cambodian fishing villages and built schools with Saudi money, then got everybody to wear all the Islamic dress and next thing you know everyone’s a Muslim. That’s pretty much out of the whole of Asia got to be Muslim I’d expect.
I hope the government will help these families have an excellent and clean home. It is not suitable to live in a boat. I understand these people were raised near boats and water to sustain themselves. But if they were to relocate somewhere else, they could be better situated within the city and selling goods.
@@CamboVlogs generally they are offered something in the middle of nowhere and no means of producing income. Each territory has a different way of life also, not quite appealing
@@CamboVlogs 150 families to support is going to be tough especially inland. Govt needs to kick off projects that train locals into the project not projects from abroad with abroad labour. For example winning production / manufacturing isn't enough if they are still importing the raw materials. Even a multi billion dollar project barely supports 100 families for 5yrs in a well established economically stable society
I feel for both sides. The people there do not own the land and don't pay the taxes. What if you owned a home on the water and they decided to park their boats there. Can't do it. Laws are laws. I hope they find a solution but this one isn't it. 🤗
The REAL story is how exactly are these people making babies while living on a rickety old boat on the river docked with 30 other boats? I can barely get 30 mins of privacy in my own house yet the first boat woman you spoke to has 6 kids!? My mind is boggled.
@@saviyou mixed, with a country as corrupt as here it's hard to trust a local "NGO" - I checked em out and its a "Cambodian Muslim People Poor" Organization but theres pictures of a bunch of dudes with gold watches and bracelets standing looking very serious about their charitable work. I would say a tiny fraction of proceeds even gets into the hands of these guys I met. As promised I put the link in the description. You can check it out and decide for yourself
@@CamboVlogs I did check them out and agree that the site seemed a bit sketchy...not to say that they're not helping people but most of the money probably goes to paying the people in charge. It's a shame that the system there is so corrupt that you can't even trust the organizations that are supposed to help, especially when there are lots of people both foreigners and Cambodians that genuinely want to help.
They are Cambodian, not Khmer. There is a difference between ethnic and nationality. Chams are not blood kin to Khmers, they are blood kin to Malays. Besides that they are Cambodian, and deserves the same rights as all fellow Cambodians.
I believe you are saying they share the same citizenship as ethnic Khmer but are not ethnically Khmer. Similar to me being American but not ethnically Caucasian like the majority of Americans. So the Chams are Khmer citizens--just not ethnically Khmer. "Cambodian" is the English word for Khmer people. "Khmer" is (for lack of not having Khmer font) our own word for Khmer people. So if you say the Chams are Cambodian, so can also so they are Khmer (citizenship-wise).
But they are called Khmer Islam by Khmer Cambodians themselves. It’s actually a powerful statement - an act of solidarity. It means that Khmers consider the Chams equals (even though are not Buddhist and they’re language is not from the Mon-Khmer family). It’s a form of inclusivity similar to how Khmers call the various mountain tribes like Pnong and Jarai “Khmer Loeu”- whether or not they speak or understand Khmer or not.

You carry yourself really well ❤
I'm so sorry for those people may God bless them 🙏🙏🙏
What happened to them during the ASEAN meetings that were held at Sokha?

Hello, was wondering if I was to donate, is there anyway you can go back and give it to them?
Yes of course. They would be so appreciative
Join what membership how do I do that
Love your vlog ❤
It hurts when you want to help but don't know how
May Allah help these brothers and sisters for a better living ameen....

it's sad 😔, government should giving pieces of land to construct what they need.
I hope the government will help these families have an excellent and clean home. It is not suitable to live in a boat. I understand these people were raised near boats and water to sustain themselves. But if they were to relocate somewhere else, they could be better situated within the city and selling goods.
they are trying to rid of floating villages as sanitary concerns of number 1 and 2s are done in the lake used for drinking also
great so lets give them a place they can live... or should we just throw them away?! 😃😃

Hi in ur next video can u do it in the Muslim village where I live. On
Land pls I will appreciate it.
If you show me around i will film

Wish I can help them some way or form maybe buys some land or so 😔

Very sad 😔 they literally have the right to live in the water they don’t need the land like they mention God be with them all 🙏

Hope they r relocated to better place.

Right a solution is needed
You’d think Allah would help them as them gone to all the trouble of following the rules and wearing the head gear.
U know the Muslim man he is my uncle 😅
