Washington, DC Wednesday, 11 August 2010
VOA Khmer first went on air on August 15, 1955. Since then, it has sought to play an important role in providing objective, independent news to Cambodians inside and outside of the country.
Ang Khen was recruited to work at VOA Khmer in Washington in 1962. She became VOA Khmer newscaster at the age of 21.
“I am very proud of working for VOA Khmer,” she said in a recent interview. “I had an opportunity to provide Cambodian people with news, especially during the war. Cambodian people listened to news about what happened during the war and what happened in the world. I retired because I felt I had worked for so long, but I am still proud of being a VOA Khmer newscaster.”
Similarly, Tes Saroeum, a former VOA Khmer editor, started working for the service in 1963. He retired in early 2004.
