Cambodia became the most corrupted country in the world.
They mention a coup in March 1970, but they apparently fail to mention that there was also another coup in July 1997 which the French government supported. The ruling party, which conducted the coup in July 1997, is leading one of the most corrupt governments in the world. History timeline depends on who writes it.
I see Mr. Hun Sen has a huge part ( or at least half of the part ) to play in KR Trail. Sinece he is a former KR. Hopefully, this will be the first step in bringing him to justice or taking him down.
In my opinion, he is half guilty and who is the one which truely responsible for the crimes committed during KR time. He must at least resign to wash his bloody hand or sin out.
God will be on a good men's side and we will see what will happen.
I agree with the commentator at 9:36 am. The French are normally biased with thier justification. They don't really care about our people's life and happiness. Let's look at the Khmer-Yuon's border case. The French are hiding their haeds from solving lelf-behind unsolved problem. Many khmers have been killed but they still ignored.
Screw you all A-Barain-sess.
Priminister Hun Sen is a good leader for our country
Fuck Chan Sarun, he is a stupid Dr.
