For those who follow Cambodian politics, the cartoons of Sacrava will be familiar for their no-holds barred savaging of politicians and policies in a country where satirical cartoons are rare.
Cambodia's country's are often depicted as monkeys, dogs or hyenas and China, Vietnam, ASEAN are regular targets. The man behind the drawings is Bun Heang Ung.
Bun Heang Ung has donated 88 original drawings documenting his account of life under the brutal Khmer Rouge regime to the Australian National University.
The artworks will join the Canberra university's rare books and manuscripts special collection in the Menzies Asia-Pacific Library.
Presenter: Liam Cochrane
Speakers: Bun Heang Ung, Cambodia artist

good job. thank you for your efforts.
Can you draw some more pictures of our lazy King and Ex-king of Cambodia?
King of Thailand encouraged their people to farm and raise food product. King of Cambodia did nothing.
Akwack also did nothing except put alot of money into foreigner account.
Bravo. look at our best leader!

I don't know about King Sihanouk, because I was not born yet, but his son this current King is completely different from his father. He is building a lot of houses for his poor people from donation money. Every where he goes, there are food and clothes for the poor. This King is poor.
You get to give him some-sort of credits for trying to do utmost his works while he is under tight control threatened by gun and knives from Yuon/CPP. He knew he is just a puppet King, but the mafia/Yuon/CPP using him to silent his people, he has to try to help his people whatever he can do. Remember his young brother went to Cambodia and calling Yuon "the bastard invaders" of his country then later dead? His death declared from alcohol and overdose sleeping pills. There were some body poisoned him from carrying the revolution against Yuon.
And to compare an absolute Thai King with our current King, you are crazy big time. The Thai King who said one phrase that cost Thai people for 35 billion dollars? He is the world richest King while million Thais are living under poverty, sold their children to be prostitutes. Thai King's son is a ruthless killer whose last wife is a porn star the world saw her naked body with a dog through Video, I wouldn't admire Thai King who used absolute "Lese Majesty" to silent and kill Thai people with this poor Khmer King.
This current Thai Royal Family is fake, but ruthless cheating Thai people for more than 30 billion of dollars. You are truly crazy to compare them with King Sihamoni.
My post is at 10:40pm. But I forgot to say Hello to Pu & Meeng Sacrava.
Hello Pu & Meeng,
