This is Phnom Penh "Pearl of Asia" of the Modern Royal of Cambodia II,
when it royal government comes to land-grabbing, illegal eviction of the poor Cambodians, lavish lifestyle of gov't officials, gov't streets thuggers, street car racing of the gov't General's sons.
Ah Hun Sen.....are you blind??????
Ah hun Sen.....are you deaf??deaf??
Wherever there is a capitalist economy, there will be some riches. Nothing we can do about that without making things worse for Cambodia at this moment.
At least they are spending moneys to stimulate the economy and keep things moving. Thus, it isn't all bad.
