Dear Cambodians
I pray for the happiness of the taxi driver who died.
It is big news in Japan.
When I went to Cambodia before, many Cambodian people helped me.
The Japanese should pay for their sins with life that such a tragedy would occur in Cambodia.
As a Japanese, I apologize.
from japanese
Sincere Condolences to the family, relatives and friends of this man.
This is an atrocious stupid crime committed by immature children.
Dear Akitoshi Seki,
Out of your words that might be sincere, please know that outside Japan actions count. If you want to apologize as a Japanese (which has no meaning), please help raise a fund in Japan for the family and relatives of that man. That would be called taking action and responsibility “as japanese”, not just “feel good” words.
From a Gaijin living in Japan
I am Japanese. I express my condolences to the victims’ families.
I would like two criminals to go to death, but there seems to be no death penalty in Cambodia. Work the two in a prison in Cambodia for a lifetime and pay all labor wages to the victims’ families. The two were enlisted in the Japanese army but were unqualified and fired. It is unknown whether you can work or not, but please strictly give instructions.
