Beehive Radio station suspends the broadcasting of the NRP program12 October 2007
By Phan Sophat Radio Free Asia
Translated from Khmer by Socheata
The popular Beehive radio station which has been broadcasting foreign radio stations, NGOs and political parties programs, issued a declaration today indicating the suspension of the broadcasting of the Samleng Reacheaniyum (Royalist Voice) of the NRP. The station indicated that the program could affect the honor of certain individuals.
In a letter sent by Mam Sonando, director of the Beehive station – Voice of the people, to the director of the NRP radio program, Mam Sonando indicated that the suspension of the program will take effect between 12 and 14 October 2007.
Mam Sonando told RFA that the reason for the suspension was not due to political pressure.
Nevertheless, Muth Chantha, NRP spokesman, reacted to this suspension by accusing the station’s decision as being undemocratic, and it is of political nature.
Muth Chantha said: “Therefore, his decision to suspend us between 12 to 14 October is an unjust issue, and this is not a democratic radio station as he (Mam Sonando) claimed it to be. We see this meaning, we believe that this issue does not involve the law or anything else, but it is a political pressure. First, he sells broadcasting time, therefore, he is afraid that his radio station could be shut down and he would lose his job. Secondly, it could be that he was under political pressure because of his possible involvement with some political party, who knows?”
The suspension of the Royalist Voice program by the NRP which is broadcasted on the Beehive radio station one hour each day, is another ugly affair following last week’s decision by the ministry of information to suspend the Khmer Amatak newspaper which is a paper also supporting the NRP.
Human rights organizations indicated that these suspensions constitute a bad sign for the freedom of expression, and they could be construed as an unsavory political design to denigrate Prince Ranaridddh, the NRP president.

if you think the cpp is bad, wait till the opposition gains power (which is highly unlikely). then you'll see various opposition factions fighting each other like you've never seen before, all in the name of democracy, of course.
The reason why Mam Sonando stop to broadcast the NRP, it's just He's afraid of Hun Sen putting him in prison again. There's nothing to do with the war in the name of democracy. And in democracy, we fight with words. In CPP, they bring arms in their meeting. Don't compare CPP to the others parties.
I support Mam Sonando 100% for closing his radio to broacast NRP because this party is only to confuse the public for their own interest and the interest of Rannarith. The members of this NRP has created enough suffering to the people of Cambodia through their corruption and their animal born like human being for liar and liar from one term to another term. They should pact their luggages and go home. Everyone knew who were these animals. They are a bunch of shameless citizen. Areak Prey
good job Mr. Areak Prey,I agree with 100000
Bullseye, 5:53, and let's not forget in the name of Human Right also.
And to make thing worse when people committing suicide all over the places because of lack of job, they will tell us that that has nothing to with Human Right whatsoever, I bet.

Only one day after he got his election result that he won the post to be the Mayor of Auckland, John Bank has declared that he will not support the Government project to renovate Eden Park stadium with Auckland rates monies. Last Mayor has promised to put 50 Millions dollars to renovate the stadium but now the incoming Mayor has said he will withdraw this spending of 50 millions. He prepares to spend only 24 millions on road and public transport and leave the rest for the government to spend. If this declaration is being made by one of the Mayors in Cambodia,that Mayor will be faced with dismissal by the Prime Minister. But that is not the same thing for Democracy system. We have two Cambodian candidates in this election as well to contest in various positions in local Government in NZ. Areak Prey
What is with the excitement with this Democracy shit? We know the Greek had invented it, but the Greek themselves is big time in used and abused slaves to get out of poverty. They did not used democracy to get out of poverty, and that goes for the French colonialist, UK colonialist, and everything that inherited colonialist blood. Am I wrong?
Guys, I am telling you, if you are a doctor, and you give wrong medicine to your patients for their illness and causing dead or injury to them, that is considered medical malpractice and you will be held accountable for that. Isn't that true in the West?
If so, who will be the first one to come forth to take responsibility for political malpractice and causing the death of thousands Khmer people?
Hmm ... I wonder where are all of the pro-democracy is? It has been awfully quiet here. What was it they say about culture of impunity?
Hmm ... maybe no one is practicing democracy in Cambodia; that is why no one came forth to accept their responsibility. Is that it?
Dear 9:19PM,
You have declared yourself as a person of anti-democracy system. Without democracy sytem, the world will not be today with all modern technology, modern cars, modern roads, modern shopping centre, modern hospitals,good doctors, goods dentist, good enginners, nice houses etc.. and etc..
These modern and sophicated instruments which you have used today, are the result of the democarcy system which allow each people to motivate themself to find their own destiny which in result have created a competition to create and to produce a lot of new thing. Without this democracy system you would have to live in a mudhouse made from hald cowdung and half mud. You must use your brain and look again at all countries.
-China during Mao from 1949-1976. there were nothing and have killed 60 millions people.
-Cambodia from 1970-1979, Almost Camnodian race have completely exctincted.
-Cambodia from 1979-1993, nothing have been created for these periods.
-Vietnam was the same from 1945-1993, nothing has been changed.
A very small change in Cambodia is a result from pressure of international community, otherwise all of you will looked like ape or animal.
THEREFORE, DO NOT UNDER ESTIMATE BOUT THE POWER OF DEMOCRACY SYSTEM. If you want Cambodia to move foward, your children will live in dignity and pride, a full complete man and woman on earth, you must learn how best the quality of life of people in a completed democracy system. We walk at the same high with anyone in the society, we talk at the loud, and we have our political cloud and strong as anyone in the same society OK and we can have dinner at the asme table with anyone in the society( example Prime minister, Governor general, foreign guest like Hu Jin Tao, Zhang Jemin etc.. and etc...Noone has left behind. Areak Prey
4:31, there is a flaw in your reasoning of democracy responsible for all the modern technology. That just isn't so.
Firstly, it is the capitalist economy that is responsible for those goods. Kill the capitalist economy and you will be dead in the water, democracy or not.
Secondly, the Russia was the first nation to reach in to outta space, and democracy has nothing to do with that. Need I say more?
I am still waiting for people to come forth and accept their responsibility for political malpractice in Cambodia that caused dead to thousands of innocent Khmer law-abiding citizens.
No more excuses or rhetorics please. let's go we don't have forever.
Vow !! I expect to ask me about URSS to go space. Their dictorhip is very different from a single country dictorship. When URSS not Russia alone has created their dictorship was to control the whole world. They didn't killed their scientists. They have put every country who want to ally with them into ranking and one exploited into another like pyramid. URSS has made monies out from their allies. Their closest ally will exploited from another one who was less closer. They have not built or have made any consumation goods nor foods nor goods to help the quality of lives. All they have made, are goods for warfare to control others. They have killed each others per millions each time they have suspected to their peers. Life was soo terrible. How many millions have Stalin has killed. How hard life have URSS people have to endure. Can anyone be able to talk freely? Can they move freely? Can they stay that way for long? No No No No No. Every URSS citizen has suffered mentally, physically and finacially. Who is the winner of today world? URSS or USA?
China has under Deng Xiao Ping destroyed this kind of dictatorship by open up China. Today over two hundred of millions of chinese enjoyed their lives freely by travelling around the world. How many Chinese can travel during Mao Regime. How many Khmer can travel during Pol Por and Hun Sen regime before 1993? No No No No.
Democracy is system to guarantee everyone has the same right, the same power and the same freedom in front of the law. Noone can bully to anyone else regardles of their sex, age, age and physical body ( disable or perfect body). Areak Prey
Come on, dude (5:58), stop changing the subject and stop using stupid excuses and start focusing specifically on Cambodia. Cambodia is not France. While France is fully developed, Cambodia is Underdeveloped. In other words, France is like an adult and Cambodia is like a baby, and you don't give and adult medicine (democracy) to a baby without fully testing it first. Would you do that to your own child?
Come on out your rat's hole pro-democracy and take responsibility for your action like a man. I understand that you know everything about accountability, and I know that you are not a culture of impunity. Isn't that so? No excuses or spins please, therefore, let's hear it.
This is just the worst era in Cambodia history. first, the Khmer Rouge got an idea of what Cambodia should be and end up wasting 2 millions people in their implementation. Then come the pro-westerner with another idea and end up wasting thousands more in their implementation. And we still haven't got a single person claiming responsibility for anything. What the hell is going on here?
Oh and if we compared the number of dead caused by the pro-westerner idea to communist Vietnam and Laos, it is totally contrary to what 5:58 was lecturing to us about communist. What a fool he must be.
I am speechless now. What is a bunch of hypocrites?
Hello 6:37Am I think you are one of deadhead beain which I cannot bother to entertain anymore. I haven't changed my subject at all about democracy and dictatorship, but beause your brain is death, therefore I cannot move your nerve to have some motivation. France is a developped country because they have more democracy than Cambodia. Cambodia was and is very poor because of lacking of democracy. Democracy is an important key to open opportinities to every one to succeed. Therefore everyone can afford to pay tax to develop the country. For all the Nations which are now poor and less developped because they don't have the democracy system. People have to listen their ugly leader and corrupted leader. The country has shut out from outside world and didn't want to associate with international communities like Birma, Lao, North Korea, many afria countries, etc.. and etc...
Democracy is not belong to the west, it belong to all human being to fully develope without control from anyone else. Only those who prepare to learn, then will understand the important of democracy. But for those who have their intelligence hadicap, they cannot learn this important here. They can stay where they are and if they are happy with my view they should go to hell. Areak Prey
What? France was developed because of Democracy? You must pull that one right out of your arse. Since when the last time France was poor, and then democracy bail them out?
France was poor before their first revolution for democratic reform and was poor when the country was fully destroyed by German in the second world war. Where did you find that France has developed by a dictatorship leader?
Yeah right, I bet their income per capita then is similar to our 480USD/year also. Would you mind give me some source to that? I find it hard to believe that a colonial country who mop up a good fraction of the world wealth is ever poor.
And to answer your question, if the dictator can't develop, then France can't conquered shit. You get the idea?
Thank God, I didn't hold my breath and depend on a pro-democracy to come forth and take responsibility for making Khmer people suffered for decade after decade from of their stupid Democracy.
Damn, where did Ah Chkout (9:11) who think France was developed from democracy went all this time? If the bullshit he gave us is true, I would think the source will be readily available. What's an idiot? He think he can pull a fast one on Khmer people.
Hey Ah Chkout (9:11), you don't need to know their income. The date of the revolution (1799) tell me that it wasn't democracy that bailed them out of poverty -- well maybe not so poor because they did a lot of slaughtering before that (1799.) Anyhow, because they were still conquering people for the next 150 years, it definitely show that democracy is not working them. It is just easier to stay home, otherwise, then to risk their arses conquering the Vietminh, hehehe!!!
I would think that these space-aged people would have a great reasoning ability because they are not much into faith where you don't exercise any reasoning, but I was wrong because they are shitty in both reasoning and faith. What is a shame, when they can't tell true history from fake one. They think France was developed by democracy, hahaha, LOL, hahaha ... .
Is anyone ever going to admit their wrong doing to the Khmer people or what? We are waiting? I bet we will get more conviction if we ever have a tribunal to trial people who practice bad faith politic.
I think all of these poster 11:54am, 12.20pm, 12:30pm AND 12:35pm ARE CHAMKUOT LUONG INDEED. Where on earth without democracy system, people can develop themselve? Only a bunch of corrupted royal families like yours who have scared with democracy system because it will cut out all your privillege and your mental illness who want dominate others for your own family. What for soever, only idiot like you guy who said french haven't got their democracy system. All European countries have their democracy system set up long before your great great parent ever bornt. Therefore you cannot see their democracy system at all. Please go to hell. Areak Prey
I support you 100% Mr Areak Prey.
These posters are all from Bloodsuckers leeches. They are the loosers of the society and the most laziers ape on earth who used their fake titles to suck other people blood.
Ah Chkout, 2:24, Khmer people is not complaining about any privilege or democracy right now. They just want job. Is that beyond your comprehension, you idiot?
Oh, and who said the French haven't have Democracy, fools (2:24). All I said was democracy did do shit for the French, which is why they risk their asses to exploit weaker nations for over 150 years after they became democracy. What is a Hollywood Freak (2:24)?
I am still waiting for the pro-Democracy to take responsibility for political malpractice in Cambodia and causing the death of thousands our innocent men, women, and children over the last 30 years. There will not be any room in heaven for those greedy fools unless they confess and be accountable for it.
A Pleu 8:43PM, you must be blinded and deaf for not hearing all complaints made all NGO and the general public for Cambodian Government to carry a faked Democracy system. You can wait until the death of your grand children, Cambodia will still not have any job because of your animal born like mentality. Where on earth, there are idiot like you to invest in Cambodia for having a Government like Hun Sen? At present, you can only employ cloths making, Karooke, Hotel staffs, a fews foods out let job which are not a real job. Those job are called slavery job because people who are working in those area cannot have a future in life. To have propre job, a real job which enable workers a have their future, all job must have good paid. But with all crocodiles and sharks around in Cambodia, who dare to put their monies there. Except a few idiot one like Long Chhin. Areak Prey
THere are too many idiots in Cambodia. They just want monies and sex like animals but nothing else. One day, Vietnamese will kill them all. Bravo Areak Prey

Wrong, 2:43, no one here is committing suicide because of fake democracy. They committed suicide due to lack of job. They prostitute due to lack of job. They rob and steal due to lack of job. The abuse nacotic drug due to lack of job...
We do have job coming in, but we need you to fucking shut up with your useless fucking idea that keep our jobs from coming in. Get it?
As I have said before again and again, that without a change into a true democracy, you can wait until the death of your grand children, there will be no job in Cambodia until your animal like born Government have changed into a more respectable Government with new leader, new ministers, real democracy system is in place then I can tell the world to invest there. Until No No No No No No Your guys are a bunch of idiots and Chorharuoy. I cannot stand to see people to suffer from your Chamkuot luong policy. You can fuck to your Mum and your daughter OK. Areak Prey
Wrong, Democracy did not develop shit. The capitalist economy is what develop nations, and we need an efficient government to support that economy. And for cambodia that must recovered quickly, Autocracy government is what is needed, not Democracy. China leading India is a good example of Autocracy is better then Democracy if you are looking for optimal growth.
Hi 5:20AM You are completely wrong. Where Idian is more democracy than China? In Chin athere is no social class. In India, there are many social classes and some parts are very feuodalism. China has fought their war to destroy social classes, landlords and feuodalism. I have good relationshion with many local leaders and I have travelled intensively to china in almost every part of the country, the majority of Chineses have enjoyed tehir freedom and their democracy system far better than Indian, Cambodian, laos and Vietnamese. As I have said before, each year China has more than two hundred millions people travelled overseas for holidays. In contrast, Cambodia after many years of civil wars, millions of people have been killed by Pol Pot regime and Hun Sen regime, Cambodia has returned back into feuodalism, large landlord . authocracy like now which put Cambodia into No 145 amoung 167 ( App) countries in the world. Please watch CCTV9, you will see how China has developped now and how each Chinese looked like and how they clothe themselves and what kind of housing they are living in?. China is promoting every day for more openning of democracy system for National harmony ( Everyone is happy ). Areak Prey
WTF? I never heard of anyone complaining about India or any part of India being a commie country before.
As for China, they are still an Autocracy, there is no national election, Lot of restriction on demonstration and worker strike,..., and sure, this doesn't effected many people directly, and so does in Cambodia, Vietnam and Loas... . The real reason why they leave India in the dust is simply because they have a unified multiparties National People Congress that can passes any laws faster then Democracy split multiparties that end up in a dead lock to pass most our laws. Our Anti-corruption laws is a good example of the inefficiency of a democracy system. The popular US social security laws is another example of inefficient process by the Democracy ... . To put it simpler, Democracy is just too damn slow, and they will keep us in poverty forever. Get it, now, 9:30?
Well, all I can say is that I am very disappointed at those who constantly called us Culture of Impunity. Here, they are clearly misused political system and not willing to take any responsibility for it. Instead, they keep on sending their stupid mouthpiece like 9:30 to give us all sorts of excuses and rhetorics. If they think that will help the thousands that had been victimized by their stupid ideas, I say their are out of their mind.
I just take one small part of China as an example which is already excceeded Cambodia already in both social development and economic development.
Hainan is a small island with a land size of 1/3 of Cambodia with population of 8 millions people.
Look at their cities Haikov, Sanya, Wenshan, Chhonh Hai, Boao, Xinglong, Wujishan, Nanshan etc.. and etc..
What party of Cambodia can compare to this small island? Hainan is only one province who is being governed by a provincial governor and all their cities Mayors. They don't king, Prime Minister, , Ministers, large number of military and police but they have all their cities bigger and nicer than any city in Cambodia. They don't have anymore slum. Their people live in luxary with good security, safe foods, safe water.
They have one of the bigger airline
in China. They have 3 long motoways which each has about 300 Km. They have more all the beautifull hotel and restaurant you can find in Cambodia. They have their International forum in Boao which Cambodia cannot affort to have at all. They have all international standard hotels along the beach of Sanya which has facilitate the Miss world international ( twice). They have one of the biggest on earth " The garden of Buddha " in Nanshan with a status of Korng Im in the middle of the seas with a hight of more 102m. We can travel to Hainan day and night withour seeing a policeman nor a soldier but we are very peacefull. At present, 99.99% of chinese inside and outside of China have supported China leadership as the most prefered Leadership of the world. They have leadership quality and good vision for people of China. They have brought up Chinese dignity and Pride. Do we any leader in Cambodia of that quality? NO No No, We have only a bunch
1-Showing off their faked PhD
2-Their stolen cars and lands
3-Their stolen dollars
4-Their military might ( body guards),
5-Their stolen villas
6-Their thread to other helpless. Areak Prey
3:55, stay focus here. China is not more democracy than Cambodia by any standard that I know off. no more excuses please.
4:49AM,
You must be foul. China is just 3 hours flight from Cambodia. Why don't you just fly to China to see it by your own eyes? As a refugee, I can have dinner many time with their leadership, Zhang Jimin, Ju RongJi, Qiao Qi and Hun Jintao in a ordinary Restaurant. Can you have dinner in a simple restaurant in Phnom Penh with Hun Sen without a single bodygauard around him? Compare Cambodia and China now, Cambodia is like a Tribal Nation. It is too far from catching up China democracy system. China is challenging with democracy system of USA and they have. Areak Prey
Hey, I don't have any complaint about China, but what you are proposing is the impossible. We don't have anyone with the same experience as Hu Jintoa here. And don't tell me Sam Rainsy is the man either.
Anyway, our problem is is that people are bickering too much and did a lot of harm to innocent men, women, and children. Hell, if 3,000+ chinese congress can agree and pass laws so quickly, why can we do the same with just 126 MP? And that is the problem with Democracy.
And you can compare undeveloped country with developed country either. In Developed country everyone has more than basic need already. Even if you don't pass a single law in decade, no one is going to die from it. On the other hand, in underdeveloped country, everyone is lacking basic need and suffering. And if you can't pass law, then you can't grow. And you stuck in poverty, and everyone continue to suffer, Get it?
correction: And you can't compare undeveloped country with developed ...
Hello 7:50AM,
After many days debating, I think we can agree to each other on certain points and I am sure we are all in the same busket of people who want Cambodia to have a change. What king of Change? that is the main points.
You have described that in undevelopped ( developping ) country like Cambodia is lacking of basic needs and are still sufferings. Do you know that this lack of basic needs and is continue sufferings is from man made. The government is blind to allow their friends to steal land from people, extort monies from business communities and a lack of rule of laws which encourage all the mafias to control other people lives. In a democracy country, the rule of laws is very strong. Every ministry, every national Institution need to strengten their integrity, their indenpendent from bullying from a single person. I can see your point about the present parliament with 123 members and most of them have belonged to CPP, therefore how can we have democracy system? That is corrected. I don't denie this at all. But we need to join force together to set up a National Institution of democracy which is not appointed by Government and is purely NGO to set goal and looby all law makers to support this goal. THis national Institution must work with international communities for their finacial support so that this Institution can reserve it integrity and it indenpendent to work with all education institution and all other government levels. Areak Prey
Sorry 8:46, but I don't agree to any changes. I rather find the bug and fix it. Change is dangerous, and it has screwed us up every time in the past. It is time for us to realize that greed has no room in Cambodia. They said, "if it's to good to be true, then it's not true."
I know about corruption in Cambodia, but it is norm. Don't expect any poor country to be in the top 10 or even top 50 least corrupted. It simply don't exist and never will. You have to have money to fight corruption. The proper way to metric the government performance on corruption is to associate the income per capita ranking to their corruption level ranking. If you've done this you will know that our income ranking level 163 and our corruption ranking level is 162. And that is where it should be. Also keep in mind that the corruption level measurement by Transparency international is rather sloppy. They only take a few samples. A couple years ago they ranked Loas at 78 and now they rank them 168. Therefore, don't panic with those number.
As for the CPP in the parliaments they only got about 55% and the other two shared the rest nearly equally. What we need to do to become a virtual autocracy is to get the cpp more seats so that they can pass law quicker to get us all out of poverty.
Another country that is democracy but virtually autocracy is Singapore. I think the "People Action Party" is the dominant party that occupy most of the seat in the parliament. And they have grip to power since the 50's. And that is how Singapore move out of poverty, not to say that they ever were dirt poor like us. The UK left them in reasonably good shape before they took off.
Hello 10:12 AM, We still have a lot of argument in here. You have compare Singapore authocratic country to Cambodia in totally acceptable. You must know that Who was Li Kuan You and who is Hun sen?
Li Kuan You was an accademic from England. He has his vision for Singapore. Hun Sen was a small Chluob with high school education in Indradevy ( Quatrieme ). This Hun Sen is working under Vietcong and has no vision at all for Cambodia and Cambodian. I can accepte that Singapore is a authocratic Nation in term of politic. But in term of social development and economic developemnt this country is widely open. While in Cambodia, all profitable companies have belonged to Hun Sen families and friends. He won't listen to any economist advisor at all except his freinds like Mong Rithy, Ly Yong Phat, Kong Triv Yeay Phu and Yeay Phann etc.. and etc.. This group of CPP cannot even identify all faked PhD, all the mafia has given to them. They have so amused with these faked PhD.
I like to argue one more thing is that Singapore is a city State. Cambodai is a Nation which has rural and urban. We need to develop both rural( less educate people) and urban ( more educated People). When I call for a change, it doesn't means that we need war at all. we need to have a democratic government with a capable leader who has vision for the country and his nation and will not looking for faked PhD degree. Areak Prey
Correction in totally acceptable to is totally unacceptable
11:16, Leader is not about education, but about public figure and puppet. What drive the country is their sponsors with their vision. Thus, education is not a big factor, not to mention when you have 20 years+ of experience, your education become meaningless. Not all leaders went to law schools or what have you. The "Terminator Man" elected as governor in California in the US is a good example of that.
Here, the country is driven by many Asian businesses' vision. That is why we are one of the fastest growing countries in the world. But we need to pass more laws to maintain this healthy growth. And we need to give most power to the CPP for that to avoid stupid dead lock that impede against our progress to take our country out of poverty.
Your theory is wrong. No uneducated person can make any country grow. Therefore, something else is or are attributed to that. And that is the businesses in Cambodia. And don't try to blow as few scams and scandals out of proportion either. We are only interested in the big picture here.
Sorry 11:16, let me reword your theory more precisely: It is not wrong but not "fully correct", that is you must have an education in order to succeed.
And allow me to add that even Lee Kwan Yue will be dead in the water if he can't meet with the need of his business investors.
Therefore, loosen up, will ya?
Hello 8:17PM I need to have your nick name so that we can debate more.
Your assumption about leadership without education is totally wrong. All CPP leaders like Hun sen, Chea Sim, Heng Samrin etc.. and etc.. are now very foulish in finding all faked PhD to foul all young Cambodia that they are worthed of that degree. Without an education a man is not much different from an animal which cannot talk and cannot be used ( unemployable). The present leadership of CPP know only to beg overseas for more monies. That is their knowledge of communications beside that they keep laughing and smiling to their counterparts. This is how Cambodain should have embarrassed by these kind of leaders. If they were educated, they can make good sense of communications and more usefull negociation to develop Cambodia. My sister in law has just been to Cambodia travelling all over the country. She said Cambodia is so dirty evey where except some part of Siem Reap because of the Toursit Area. This is how a country is being led by a group of blind. You mentiond that Cambodia is a fast growing economy, that is wrong. Cambodia need every year another 60% ( $695 millions )more monies from IMF to fullful her budget ( $1.1 billions) to pay unliveable salary to her government servants . Do you know that my adopted country now has only 4 millions people. Our salary is normally 200 fold more than in Cambodia, our government can put a side $390 millions for aiding countries like Cambodia, vietnam, all pacific countries, afganistan etc.. and etc.. Plus we have each year more than 9 billions in surplus ( I cannot even say that we are the fastest economy in the world). All our senior people from 65 years old and over has a guarantee income of more than $300 per week per person. Our healthcare system is another fanstatic system. From birth to 18 years, and from 55 years old and over have enjoyed free healthcare. we do not need to pay Doctors fee, medecines at all. Every thing is being care by our Government. This how we call Knowledge economy. Without good education, a person cannot offcourse to lead this kind of country with this kind of economy. For uneducated leadership, the economy is being called " Begging economy ". Areak Prey
8:21, Here we address each other by time, but if you insist on nick name, I am VoodooPro (or KruSeul in Khmer.)
Anyhow, I didn't said animal can be successful in anything because they are being slaughtered to extinction here and there. You are using an unrealistic analogy. Even a 2 year old baby is far better then any animal that I know off. Fact of the matter I do have some highly successful friendly in various part of the globe that never completed High School. Therefore, I have to disagree with you. Furthermore, do you really thing your school can turn a retarded student into Prime Minister of NZ, AU, ..., or China. I don't think so. It is up to individual. For me, I don't give much credit to the school that I attended because I did all the work myself. I went beyond any curriculum that my school had to offer. Thus, I say, "if you got it, you got it, and if you don't, you don't." No school can make you any more than you are. Accordingly, I believe gift from heaven is better than any degree or award that any school on this planet has to offer.
As for PM Hun Sen he was award honorary PhD in recognition for his rectangular strategy economic plan that is all. What do you think he should do, turn it down?
And again you are comparing a developed country that was not recently being decimated by war. What type of crap is that? Find me a country with similar condition as Cambodia and they recovered a lot faster then us, then I will along with you. How does that sound? Otherwise, your wild speculation will put everyone on unnecessary high risk, and I can't accepted that. Your type of thinking is what destroyed Cambodia throughout history.
Hello KruSeul,
I like to invite to our house here
www.cambodian.org.nz . On behalf of all my fellow NZ, welcome you to our house and we have our own forum which I would like to invite you to our forum. Areak Prey
Thank You, bro. I am delighted and I accept your invitation.
I love www.cambodian.org.nz . It so neat. You gave me the link a while back when we talk about creating jobs in Cambodia. I browsed the site and I appreciated the overwhelming information about Cambodia and New Zealand Too. It freezes my bun just seeing people in the pictures posted in the front page wearing the heavy coat, hehehe. Did you made the website yourself? If so, tell me briefly about it, like how long have you had it, why did you created, rules, ..., or what have you. Just curious.
Thanks in advance.
THis website is belonged to community. I didn't made it. It was made by our Junior. I am one of the old man.
In a democracy system, there are rule of the laws therefore people cannot be confused with anarchy. We can grow because of our rules. Our rules is to make sure, everyone has their fairness and their natural justice. We are about the end of winter and we have help our peers Burma to protest with their Junta government. I am one of the oldest members who loved playing computor. Areak Prey
Oh, I see, me too, an old man, but I must learn to make my own website soon, but it is for my works, not for politic.
Anyway, I have nothing against rule of law, but I see people are too obsessed with it. I wished that they be obsessed with our moral value instead. Because if we start to run low on morality, there is no rule of law is going save us. People will abused the hell out of the laws against each other to get ahead. And it we are talking about Indochina low on morality, then we are talking war and destruction again. Thus, I am more concern with moral value than rule of law.
As for Burma, you need a new tactic to turn them into democracy. Your old and rusty tactic had not worked since the 50's. Instead of forcing them to reform, we should try to create the environment to lead them into reform by themselves without causing any harm to the people.
