Prime Minister begged Japan to help rebuild National Road No. 2 ...

Translated from Khmer by Heng Soy
"Hun Sen said that Cambodia is poor, therefore, the only way for Cambodia to develop is to beg from friends..."
Prime Minister Hun Sen requested Japan to continue to provide its aid, without having to repay back, in order to rebuild a section of National Road No. 2 linking Phnom Penh to Takeo so that it can be connected to another road section, built also with Japanese aid, from Takeo to Phnom Den, along the Vietnamese border. Hun Sen raised this issue, on 04 June 2007, during an inauguration ceremony for the opening of 3 bridges built with Japanese aid, at Stung Slakou, Takeo province.

Turning to the Japanese Ambassador to Cambodia, Hun Sen said that the section of the National Road No. 2 linking Takeo city to the Vietnamese border has already been built with Japanese aid. However, now, the section of National Road 2 from Phnom Penh to Takeo has not been rebuilt yet. Hun Sen said that Japan built a load of roads for Cambodia, but that there is no road that is entirely rebuilt by Japan alone yet. (So far, Japan helped rebuild sections of roads only,) such as a section of National Road No. 6 until the intersection with National Road No. 7; the section of National Road No. 6 linking Roluos to Siem Reap; the section of National Road No. 2 linking Takeo to Phnom Den; and the section of National Road No. 1 linking Neak Leung to Phnom Penh.

Hun Sen told the Japanese Ambassador directly: “I am begging Japan to help with the entire National Road No. 2” and he said that he plans to provide this proposal to Japan before his upcoming official visit to Japan.

Hun Sen added that several roads were built with foreign aids, for example, National Road No. 3 was entirely rebuilt by South Korea, China decided to rebuild the entire National Road No. 8 by itself, Thailand is helping with National Road No. 67 and National Road No. 48, therefore, Japan should take full responsibility for (the rebuilding of the entire) National Road No. 2.

Hun Sen said that Cambodia is poor, therefore, the only way for Cambodia to develop is to beg from friends, and Japan is one of the countries which provide the most aid.

Hun Sen also declared that he will plan for a meeting of the council of ministers to be held (somewhere) along National Road 48, a road corridor built next to the sea, once its construction is completed. The meeting will be held there so that members of his government can see with their own eyes a road corridor built along the seashore, a first in Cambodia. This means that the meeting will be held in Koh Kong province, but once the government members know this new road corridor, they can then reach Veal Renh by crossing National Road No. 3 from Trapeang Prov to return to Phnom Penh. This is an important seashore corridor. Hun Sen said that this planned meeting will be held during this mandate, prior to the 2008 election.

    That's right, we'll do whatever we
    have to do to help our people.
    Action is better than bullshits.

    Thanks to Somdach Hun Sen and may
    God continues to look out after him
    and his family as he look out after
    Khmer people.

    Begging is the only way to develop the country??? is this what the PM Hun Sen can do to develop the country? As a Cambodian, I do not want to have leader who is good begging.

    Will Hun Sen have ability to beg like he is now if he is not a PM?

    If begging is the only way to develop country, then Hun Sen should develop strategies to beg around the world, or send ministers, governors and poors people around the world to beg. Let's try if you choose that way.

    Well then, how do you build your
    infrastructure that is needed to
    develop your country, unless you

    National road No. 2 has just been built not long ago, we need to chase the compay built this road, ask them to rebuild again without payment. Our government spends a lot of money/aid on building roads without having proper quality. Look at Russian Blv. & National road No. 4, these 2 roads built for such a long time and they still last with the best conditions.

    Well, things are changing fast in
    Cambodia. Soon we'll needed to
    expand our roads because it is too
    congested during peak hours. There
    are too many accidents caused by
    people zigzaging to get wherever
    they're going.

    600 million USD a year from the donor, one don't have to beg if one has the brain. Just a percentage of sum going toward Vocational/Technical Colleges will greatly increase the skills laborers. Then, once you have a educated society -- the society will be sustainable.

    AH HUN SEN SHOULD BEG FOR A NEW BRAIN, A "SAMREH DOG". THIS IS WHAT HAPPEN WHEN ONE DOESN'T EARN A DEGREE THROUGH CREDENTIAL INSTITUTION!

    What does anyone expect from the mafia? The more they beg the more money will go to their banks, and the poorer the poor people.
    These CPP's gangs in here are just dogs of CPP. I visited Cambodia and believe me guys, these thugs are the butchers worse than Pol Pot or Ta Mok I read about.
    The whole country is under one thug Hun Sen.

    He has his own army to make sure the members in his party won't dare to challenge him. Without power Hun Sen will be killed. There're negotiating behind closed door between US and Vietnam. Vietnam put Hun Sen in power to get land (illegal treaty), but when the price is right Hun Sen will be taken to Hanoi, because he cannot live anywhere but Hanoi. As everyoen knows millions want to kill Hun Sen.

    Recently Hun Sen went to meet the King, and he may have asked the King to help him to stay in power. Now some royal members quitted politics, because Hun Sen promised to pay and feed them.

    No one on earth has ever seen any leader is so stupid like Hun Sen.

    I am not against "begging foreigners to build roads.But we must have our ownership too. We must build one road that is "entirely ours" and not totally rely on foreigners.It's will be Hun Sen's begging culture.
    We can do build some roads with our own money if we alleviate the rampant corruption plaguing the Coutry.

    5:34, not all infrastructures are
    built by foreigners. We only have
    so much to spend each year on it,
    and it will take forever without
    foreign aids. Business keep on
    coming in, population keep on
    growing, and we need more
    electricity, clean water, roads,...
    and irrigations right away, not
    decade from now while our
    productivity is behind. However,
    we should be able to take care
    everything ourselves by 2020. That
    is when our productivity is enough
    for ourself as well for export.
