Plagiarism

An extensive history of plagiarism has been documented, with Mohan Tirugmanasam Bandam (writing as T. Mohan) taking content from Malaysian newspapers and making small changes such as swapping names and places from Malaysian to Cambodian contexts.^[4][5][6][7] The "Letters to the editor" section of the Khmer Times has published a large number of plagiarized letters, as well letters that appear to have been authored by T. Mohan using false Khmer and western names.^[5]
