Am Rong
From dKosopedia
Categories: Cambodia people | Media figures
Am Rong was the spokesperson for the Cambodian Army under General Lon Nol's Khmer Republic. Reporters from English language news media found black humor in the irony of his name coupled with the marked discrepancy between his reports of military success on the battlefield and the reality of military defeat.
