Preface By Pang SokheounTranslated from Khmer by KI-Media
This booklet, Listen, is a collection from my follow up of the political situation and from my listening of the speeches given by our country’s leader for several years. This collection shows the political viewpoints, moral conduct, responsibility, and leadership of a Cambodian leader under the leadership of Mr. Hun Sen who stressed about the economic development in the country, the measures taken to protect forests, the provisions taken to prevent illegal Vietnamese immigration, the anti-corruption fight, the measures taken to resolve high gasoline prices, etc… The majority of the quotes cited in this booklet are true, while some contain additional information only to make the writing livelier.
This collection was done as a satire aimed at the current country leader who is an incapable man, lacking moral code of conduct, leading Cambodia to becoming one of the poorest country in the world, and one who does not respect human rights, in addition to being coarse and rude.
I hope that we will have a good leader who will be capable and has a good moral code of conduct in the future.
Thank you!
Regarding salaries
People accused me that I did not think about raising salaries. I want to ask where do we get the money? Our country is extremely poor, we borrow money from others, and we beg every year.
They say that salary is too low and it cannot support the living condition. I want to ask: was there anybody dying because of low salary yet? I observe that Cambodian people never die because of low salary under my leadership, they only die because they are too happy, such as dying in traffic accident when they go out for pleasure, or when they out to night clubs in the evening, then they fight each others during the parties, some are distraught and they go and jump off from very high bridges built by us, or they die because of high blood pressure, AIDS, only… One more thing, if their salary is low and cannot support their living, why would they keep that job? Why don’t they resign? I tell you, I am not begging you (to keep your job).
They say that MPs’ salary is very high, but low level government workers receive very low salary. Why don’t they use their head to think, each MP represents tens of thousands of constituents, the MP has a car, bodyguards, and he is high ranking, if we give him a low salary, would that make sense?
They say that I and people in my group receive only so much salary, why do we have modern cars, very nice and numerous villas, send our children to study overseas in very pricey schools, have money to build realizations everywhere, enjoy ourselves in famous tourist areas? I am telling you, this is because we are not lazy. Besides fulfilling our role as government leaders, we work hard day and night to earn a living, and we take no time to rest. We have no time to discuss in leisure, to drink, to gamble, to hold cock fighting, and to sit idle looking for lice uselessly. Even when we go out to play golf, or meet at the National Assembly, we never forget about doing business.
This collection was done as a satire aimed at the current country leader who is an incapable man, lacking moral code of conduct, leading Cambodia to becoming one of the poorest country in the world, and one who does not respect human rights, in addition to being coarse and rude.

Hun Sen is only Hun Sen in Cambodia. He speaks to a nation with the same level of education as his. But what he's forgetting is that each day, each month, each year. More and More Khmer are becoming educated, more intellectual, more aware of issues. Soon he can no longer speak in that manner.
He may control a lot of things, but he can't control TIME. And in time, Cambodia will have a leader. Someone who understand the needs of Cambodia and not the needs of neighboring country.
Hun sen and his cronies speak the same langluage. I think their words which speak out in the public even more more rude than that in the booklet. However, good to have read all these useless words as a reminer. This is a witness and we must spread more to the public in our country esp in the rural area.
We never forget doing business? Huh,that included monkey business I say.
Doing business too much no wonder ah rei Rani was unhappy and gone mad at every younger nand more beautiful than her.
We know she is handsome as Hun Sen comrade in arm for Khmer Rouge struggle.
Too sad Hun Sen has no time to do her business anymore,that's why his hormone fluctuated and gone crazy all the times in front of microphone.
Listen up fools and royalties,I am Prime Monster of all.Please don't blame me because I am wealthier than you...
Has........funny Mr. Hun Sen, Imagine how can this idoit rule if we listen to his words?
Well. I think ah HunSen is right about what he said, "I am telling you, this is because we are not lazy." He's not lazy running to the banks to deposited money from the CG (donor countries). He isn't lazy ordering his military and police force, and others to oppressed/repressed people. The people live in fear.
He isn't lazy by making sure that Education System is designed for the elite people. An ordinary citizens to go to school. Even in the primary school, bribery is common in order to stay in school. HunSen isn't lazy to make sure that the society's workforce consisted of unskilled laborers by limited their education.
Yes! Ah Mr. HunSen isn't lazy at all in creating the Calamity of Cambodia sovereingty.
LISTEN UP AH HUNSEN TO THE PEOPLE PLIGHT!
I never like the Norodumb as long as I live. I am never going to support the Don Juan, corrupted MF, but in order to save our country from the Neighbors. I think it's a great idea to united the other oppositions team to Unite to win the CPP.
JFK, "ask not what the country can do for you, but what you can do for your country!" Is this the correct measurement @69,898 sq. mile for Cambodia sovereignty? What will become Cambodia in 10years?
to 10:02PM
That's exactly right.
By keeping people from getting education, he's keeping the rural country at his level, so they can understand him. That is why, I think Rainsy,Sokha and Ranarith have difficulty talking to the rural aka country side people, because they're too educated.
In order for people to understand your cause and commitment, the people need to understand your language, that is, the meaning behind it. The majority of Khmer country side, don't understand why the Tonel Sap or the forest is the vital to the survial of future generation. They only want to put food on the table for that day. And that's understandable,because that's all they know. Hun Sen understand this too. That's why he only give 1 cent of a dollar to the people and keeping the rest for himself.
Look how fat and whitey his wife is. When Clinton was in the country for aides awareness. That fat pig had more bling bling than the pawn shop on 32nd street. She's probably yourn.
Great job Sokeurn!
I respect your effort and patriotic spirit.
As time is moving, uneducated leaders like Ta Sihanouk or Hun Sen will leave only their bad leadership attitude to our younger generations.
The history cannot hide its reality and truth through our modern globalization.
But for both Ta Sihanouk or Hun Sen, it is not late for them to fix their uneducated behavior.
KY
LISTEN UP! MY SON WILL BE THE NEXT PM!
DYNASTY, YES, FAMILY DYNASTY
MY SON WILL RULE THIS COUNTRY
We will never allow this fucking family to rule more. Hun sen must be replaced. We cant have a leader like him.
Those pictures say a thousnad words.He's a nasty son of a bitc.!
Thank you Lok Pou Sacrava and KY.
Wish you Happy New Year!
Regards,
Pang Sokheoun
