The CPP former Khmer Rouge Keat Chhon thanks Douglas Gardner for making all the Vietcong puppet officials much richer than the rest of dirt poor Cambodian population!

A special thank to Mr. Douglas Gardner for making Cambodia has double digit economic growth but the dirt poor Cambodian people are getting poorer and poorer! Do you think dirt poor Cambodian people like to live on pig nose, pig feet, pig ear, pig tail,...chicken feet? The most injustice for dirt poor Cambodian people is being poor and poor people tend to lead a short life!
