In life people need to live half clean but under AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave dictatorship dirt poor Cambodian people are forced to live in very dirty condition from head to toe!

This is not the way how dirt poor Cambodian people should be living and this is animal living condition! How much longer AH HUN SEN continue to force dirt poor Cambodian people to live like animal? The fucken Cambodian government has an obligation to lift dirt poor Cambodian people from poverty and give them opportunity to live like human!

As long as AH HUN SEN don’t change his evil way and I will continue to curse him until the day I die!

This is just a front because of the upcomming elections, he will go back to his old ways and continue to take land from the poor. We'll just see how long it lasts.

if the gov't have to eviction the displaced people for redevelopment or development or for whatever reason, then gov't should provided the same for the people. gov't can't just abandon its own people that like. it is unthinkable in the US to do this kind of thing to people. the president would be impeached already. so if it's wrong to do this in the US, then what makes it right to do this in cambodia. it is called human rights abuse. gov't have to answer questions for their action.
