I also want to convert to Islam. What would my share of the % million dollers be?
Poor Khmer Islam, there will be money flowing to the top CPP or HUN SEN by exploiting them for siphon off the donate money.
HUN SEN has been using Ahmad Yahya to lobbying all Muslim countries for the money. I notices this when HUN SEN gave a good position to Ahmad Yahya. HUN SEN ask Ahmad Yahya make sure bring money in!!
