thank you president kurado of japan for seeing the political situation in cambodia differently from the strong opposition group of lawmaker, who only think about their political party and not about how their action could effect the wish of the majority of the cambodian people who just want to live their lives and who are so sick and tired of their political endless fighting. for once, someone is listening to the majority of the cambodian people like myself who just want to see cambodia have peace and prosperity for all. thank you mr. president.

i'm glad the world doesn't think like some of these cambodian leaders. i just wish for once they would work for national interest instead of their own personal or special interest. the entire world, please, on behalf of the cambodian people like myself, force the cambodian leaders from all parties to stop their political nonsense, gambling and destroy cambodia without thinking about the consequences for the majority of the cambodian people who want nothing to do with them. please continue to force them to reforms their old ways as cambodia want to modernize our economy, etc. thank you for your tireless support and commitment and interest on cambodia.
