Yes, this is an excellent time and opportunity for those investors who seek better success and profit. We (Khmer) are behind you and we can make it happened.

Come, come, come, no time to waste.

The world should take a pause and stop any plans to increase investment in Cambodia until Hun Sen/CPP have the guts to meet a UN representative in regards to Human Right conditions. Yes Cambodia is economically improving but its people is feeling the opposit. This is due to fact that most Cambodian officials, including top officials, are deep rooted corrupted. Most of the people that benefited from the economic sun shine in Cambodia are the one running the country.
