Hun Sen endless exploitation: first used women to serve desperate Bo Doi pleasure back in post 79's then turned to be brothel slaves ran by Yuan operators at the protection of career armed officials.More bastards turned into orphanage for lucrative transaction to foreign softheart couples.These beautiful young women seemed face no job suaranty after attended the most disgusting incompetent educational system in the third world.Now they dedicate sacrificial efforts and gentle body to clear the death traps planted by either DRK and PRK during arm conflict.After land cleared for the poor to test for safety few years then the mighty powerful governmental thugs yank land away for wealthy investors use.
All that,to any one eyes,how cruelest Hun Sen and clique.How heartless Bun Ranni who rather pamper the already wealthy Monique and Sihanouk with expensive gifts instead of these naive young one like her back in the 70 to be the DRK volunteered suitor for the wounded fighters.

We are very proud these young girls working in these kind of situation. But we are so pissed off when we see ah hun sen and all his circle breading all animals children exploiting others without shame. The same, we are so sad to see sihanouk is still playing with human lives without shame to his ancestors.

It is so sad to see Cambodian women do these kind of job. This kind of job belong to robot or specialize machinery. It break my heart to see sweat pour down their face when they know that their job will only lead to the last discovery of their life.

Why does life has to be this way!

Oh Bun Rany is busy abusing people's will and looking for more support for her husband's next term incumbent primiership. Sometimes she wants those young ladies to die so soon that they don't have time to catch one Hun Sen's blind eye.

In fact, these beautiful ladies are more brave than most of the men that rule in Cambodian society nowaday. They are sacrificing their own life for the safety of our Cambodian land and it is prove that Cambodian women have more strength,capable and intelligence than most of khmers men.
This beautify act of those cambodian women is an eye opener for our men. So we should respect, support them at all time.
