I have nothing against creating Jobs, but there are hidden dagers here. KHMER WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE THE FREEDOM THAT THE REST OF THE WORLD IS EXPERIENCING. The current situations in Cambodia is a clear predicament where Khmers' are heading in the future.

There will more bloodshed. We are encountering the border encroachment from all neighbors. What the CPP is doing right now? Everyone knows the answers. The people are too afraid to stand up to revolve. However, the land grabbing, evicting, lawlessness from all walks of gov't officials, repressive/oppressive on the population, ETC! WILL WE EVER GOING TO FIND PEACE, OR WILL WE GOING INTO ANOTHER REVOLUTION?

PEOPLE POWER. FARMERS' POWER.
