Great poem Vichea,

Now, ignorant leader like Hun Sen opposed the Cambodian environment ministry, NGOs, World Heritage, Jolie, and international community by opening Phnom Kravinh for their cronies and families to exploit the last forest, biodiversity, wild life and rare species, and local people.

He is so confusing between the word "development=aphiveatt" and "reservation=anureaks".

He is stupid not to understand that "reservation = anureaks" is also a development, and it is a better development than the word "development itself".

"Reservation = anureaks" is a long term, greenery, sustainable development. It is a proud of Cambodians for this area to become World Heritage site, and it is a source of immense income for long term industry without smoke (tourist industry).

Under ignorant leadership, Cambodia and her younger generations will face with crisis, corruption, poverty and bad reputation.

Poetry, movie, lakaun bassac, ..., are only made-believed entertainment. It doesn't meant crap in real life.

Voices come from many form, either via action or writing. When time does not permit for me, I draw my pen. It does mean something at least. Better than no action.

Sure, anyone can draw themselves living in another galaxy where there is no corruption, disease, suffering, ..., but in reality, there is no such thing.

Your point is partly true that we should take full action to help the country instead of sitting there writing. I support your theory. But your point is very weak. When freedom of speech is not allow in the country, it is very dangerous to take full action. And we shouldn't just let corruption over rule us either. "Pen is mightier than sword." Action of all form helps. Encourage not discourage!

How can my point is weak when you expect perfection that doesn't exist?

And no, we do allowed all the freedom of expressions that is needed to move the country forward, but expressions that offended our society will be prohibited; plus, those type of expression will not do anyone any good but causing trouble and set everyone backward.

As for corruption, we are handling it the proper way. When the country is poor, the temptation is high, and you can't arrest everyone for that. Right now, the best thing to do is keep corruption our of their reach by removing bureaucracies and be patient for our capitalist economy to work for us once it is fully grown where the jobless is low; at that point, less people will be corrupted, we can take care of those who's still corrupted.
