[edit] Medical Doctor

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??

[edit] Comment

Westlaw says the writ of habeas corpus was issued by the Central District of California in 2004.

[edit] Ancestry

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)

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

[edit] date error?

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)

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)

[edit] the murder

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)
