'No Corruption' campaign in Cambodia

Kem Sokha, director of the Cambodian Center for Human Rights, stands outside his office in the capital Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Monday, Sept. 4, 2006. In the foreground is the hand of a human right activist that was soaked in white paint symbolizing 'no corruption.' Cambodian police on Monday prevented the prominent human rights group from holding an anti-corruption rally and confiscated its truck, in the graft-ridden Southeast Asian government's latest bid to curtail civil liberty. The rally was organized by the U.S.-funded Cambodian Center for Human Rights to promote a nationwide awareness about corruption. (AP Photo/Heng Sinith)

The outside world must back Kem Sokha up exactly the same way when he was with Human Right organization, if he were to face Hanoi-Hun Sen regime in P. Penh politically to make any difference. Without it Kem Sokha is just a lost cause.

The monde exterieur doit soutenir Kem Sokha de la meme exacte maniere comme quand il etait avec l'organisation "Human Right" si jamais il venturait pour faire face au regime de HANOI-HUN SEN a P. Penh politiquement et pour faire de difference. Si non, il ne serait qu'une CAUSE PERDUE!

For years! Sam Rainsy Party had been pushing for anti-corruption law and it is still going nowhere!

By making people aware of the corruption will not change anything! If Kim Sokha want a real change, he should make AH HUN SEN, AH HENG SAMRIN,AND AH SOK AN to listen and why corruption is very important! Nobody listen?

Why is it so hard to do the right thing!

It hard to do the right thing because Ah Hun Sen, Samrin Sok An and the rest of the CPP's gang is not interested in looking after it own Khmer people except for themself.
There is not one drop of the CPP blood truely concerns with the welfare and well being of the Khmer people and it country. This former pesants had fogotten it past of being poor since they are not rich with corruption money and distroying national resources.
