Hanoi PhD predicts 7% GDP growth in 2009, now it's up to gov't officials to cook up the data to back up this prediction

Cambodian PM predicts 7 pct GDP growth for 2009

PHNOM PENH, Nov. 22 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen predicted that the economic growth of the country could be 7 percent next year, despite a recent IMF growth forecast of under 5 percent, national media reported Saturday.

A heavy rainy season, which boosts rice crops, could help bolster GDP growth to 7 percent, Hun Sen said at the 14th Government-Private Sector Forum, according to the Cambodia Daily newspaper.

However, dropping demand and international financial turmoil have darkened the country's economic horizon, Hun Sen said.

Hun Sen also agreed to suggestions that farmers be offered contract farming to help assure reasonable prices for their products.

Meanwhile, Hun Sen said that he had ordered a 100 U.S. dollars reduction to the price of passports issued to Cambodian migrant workers, which will now cost only 24 U.S. dollars including the price of photographs.

អាហ៊ីង អាហុក និង អាហោ
អាហ៊ីង (ប៊ុនហ៊ាង) មេចោរប្លន់ដីរាស្រ្ត
អាហ៊ុន មេឆ្កែយួនកញ្ជះ, អាត្រូវរន្ទះបាញ់ដូចគ្នា!

មិនយូរ មិនឆាប់ គង់វិនាស
លិចទូក រន្ទះ ឡានបុកគ្នា
ព្រលឹងវិលវល់ តាមចងពៀរ
នេះជាកម្មពៀរ អាក្បត់ជាតិ

អាពាលហេង ពៅ នៅដេកគុក
ចំណែកអាហុក ងាប់តៃហោង
អាហ៊ុន, អាហ៊ីង, អាហោ ជាមេខ្លោង
នឹងងាប់តៃហោង ឆ្នាំក្រោយហ៎ង... សាធុ... សាធុ... សាធុ...

If you live in the west, the word "Ah Kvak" is disciminated and illegal word. You should not burn the house and pour the water. Providing reasonable arguments would win majority support, and that would win him someday. Who know? But, if we want to be better than him, we should talk about him in a more educated way.

If one wants to communicate with Hun Sen or his lickspittles, one must never used polite words because either Hun Sen or his lickspittles don't understand such words. Hun Sen deserves NO respect from decent people. Those who waste their respect for such an evil are far more evil than Hun Sen.
