Pov Pahnapich still stays in Vietnam
Pov Pahnapich is still living in rented house in Vietnam, not far from hospital where she was treated in order to seek medical treatment. Nowadays her health is getting better than before but she still cannot walk.
Pov Pahnapich, singer and television host, had been shot in broad daylight in the neck and hip on February 23, 2007 by unidentified men while she had parked her car and walked to English class.
Her sister, Pov Chan Sotheavy, told Popular Magazine that her sister’s health is getting better than before but her leg cannot move. It takes her times to exercise in order to make her body move as normal.
Pov Chan Sotheavy complained that spending on her sister is more than before. And adding that her sister’s health is getting better, so she is allowed to use computer connected with internet because she wants to search for and read some international news. And it is the way to reduce her boring.
Pov Pahnapich was immediately sent by ambulance to Cha Roy hospital in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam by Cambodia authority.
Until now, the attackers are still at large, the government authorities used to claim that they still continue searching for perpetrators to be punished but they blamed the victim’s family for not cooperation with investigation into shooting.
Pov Chan Sotheavy was quoted by the Daily as saying that her sister had quarreled with a young man. Adding that unidentified man had been in love with her sister and became angry when he was denied she added that the man was always trying to annoy her sister by using his motorbike to play and fly around her car.

At the present, the court is not independent, it is under the control of ruling party. Therefore, the perpetrators have been yet arrested. By the way, mastermind are the powerful or the rich. if the ordinary people committed crime, it is easy for the authorities to find out.
It is so grateful that she is still not better yet. Wishing her to be recovered soon. I do not know whether when i can see her performing in public like before.
