[edit] Quotes

  • "When we are not devoted to serve the People, we cannot have the right to ask for the favors from the nation."
  • "An advocation for a Constitutional Monarchy is not a sign of desperation or an admission of defeat. The role to be played by the Monarchy should be one that shall bind the people together, acting as a symbol of unity for the Vietnamese, Montagnards, and Khmer Krom people inside and outside of Vietnam."
