Talk:Haing S. Ngor

message: I have a rather important but practically impossible task - I need to understand why this man was not allowed to resume practicing medicine in the US; I mean the specific reason. Can anyone post it in the article or at least here??
:Per my recollection, his autobiography did not indicate a strong interest in resuming his medical practice once he arrived in the States, though I may be mistaken.  I'll endeavour to find the book again so I can confirm this. Evixir (talk) 21:19, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I read his autobiography recently.  He needed to be re-certified in order to practice medicine in the US and he didn't bother with it, which was why he wasn't allowed to resume practicing medicine there.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.9.166.107 (talk) 20:38, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Ngor was also in the movie "My Life" w/ Michael Keaton, I believe.  Mike's character (who is terminally ill) visits Ngor for spiritual healing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.112.31.57 (talk) 07:32, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

message: I think it's a little insulting to have Ngor's name in Chinese at the beginning of this article. He was not Chinese. But he was very proud to be Khmer. His name should be in his native script - and not used by some POV artist to make a point. Paxse 16:56, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: But he has Chinese ancestry. Also, you cannot say that it is insulting just because of his affiliations; if you have his Khmer name feel free and add on also. But unless you can prove that this is not his Chinese name or that he has none, theres no reason why you should remove it. Checok Wikipedia:Reliability. Thanks. Mr Tan 11:41, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Agreed.  Unless you can prove he hated his Chinese ancestry or tried to hide it.-Jaardon 16:47, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

text: His father was Teochew Chinese, his mother was Khmer, so his surname, Ngor, IS Chinese.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.9.166.107 (talk) 20:28, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Ancestry

message: The article states
"Ngor founded the "Dr. Haing S. Ngor Foundation" in 1997"
However the article also states he died in 1996.
which is it? No other 'Ngor' is specified if it is a relative  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kjhadskj (talk • contribs) 09:33, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I also found this to be very troubling.  There is another Ngor mentioned, his niece, who is apparently the president of the foundation.  Perhaps the foundation was founded by her in his honour following his death?  Some research needs to be done in this area.-Jaardon 16:51, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Seems to have been rectified; the language now reads "The "Dr. Haing S. Ngor Foundation" was founded in his honor in 1997..." Evixir (talk) 21:22, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

message: ISTR media speculation, until the crime was identified by police and prosecutors as the work of a street gang, that attributed the killing to Khmer Rouge sympathizers. Anyone hear similar? - knoodelhed 19:10, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: First thing I thought of myself when I heard of the killings, and I remember hearing murmurings of the same in the media as well.  It's not entirely out of the question that the members of this gang who committed the horrific crime were bankrolled by the Khmer Rouge or its sympathizers either in Cambodia or in the States to silence Ngor.  I doubt we'll ever have a definitive yes or no on that one, though.  Evixir (talk) 21:24, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: the murder

message: March 22, 1940 is reported on Haing Ngor Foundation website and even on his grave, but in his autobiography I've found I was about three years old. The year was probably 1950 (p.8, Ngor, Haing with Roger Warner. Survival in the Killing Fields. 2003). 1947 as born year is reported even on Distinguished Asian Americans: a biographical dictionary and above all fits much better with his studies.--Riccardo.fabris (talk) 22:58, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
