VNA (Hanoi)
A delegation from the Cambodian Red Cross Society (CRC) led by its president Lok Chumteav Bunrany Hun Sen paid a working visit to their Vietnamese counterparts in Hanoi on November 5.
The president of the Vietnamese Red Cross Society (VRC), Tran Ngoc Tang expressed his wish to strengthen exchange of experiences across several fields, such as epidemic disease prevention, community health care, disaster prevention and their experiences in raising funds and organising international events.
Tang suggested that both sides work to establish an information sharing mechanism in order to quickly update information regarding humanitarian activities.
The two sides should also formulate proposals for projects on epidemic disease prevention, community health care and disaster prevention for people in border areas in order to drum up support from both domestic and international organisations, he said.
The Red Cross Societies of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam signed an agreement on trilateral humanitarian cooperation on January 26, 2007.
Both the CRC and the VRC have coordinated in a programme for bird-flu prevention in border areas and shared experiences in disaster prevention.
To date, the VRC has examined and given free treatment to more than 6,800 Cambodian residents around the border area. It has also performed over 1,400 free eye operations, and presented gifts to 3,800 poverty-stricken Cambodians.

Why all this show?
Khmer still hate ah yuon anyway. Ah yuon are hypocrite and murderer.
Did you get this job base on your merits?
Let me congratulate the newly-elected US president-Barack Obama. Now you shine and this proves to others that they can achieve the same or contribute to this great deal of good that deserves the applause and encouragement from the countrymen. This is the spirit of people in America. Yeah I live in US for quite long however I just can’t forget the fact that I am Cambodian. Am I not proud to be Cambodians? You can tell me Cambodians and as far as I know I don’t think the same spirit that encourage the intellectuals and great minds to shine exist in Cambodia. I can say it because I lived long enough and became mature enough before emigrating to live in this blissful and inspiring country. Feeling the spirit and other blessing spirits in US, sometimes I feel extremely pitiful for my country, Cambodia for failing to adopt or establish such spirits that can enhance the system of thoughts and acts. I have heard about leaders committing crimes against own people: land grabbing, practicing bribery and corruption, injustice of the jurisdiction system and loads more as the system of governing leads to. In US, because we believe “the rights and great minds” move forward, we also condemn the “decisions and acts” of leaders that lead to calamities and instability of country and will insist that those responsible leaders “RESIGN” and be prosecuted. We American value a system for all individuals’ progress though it’s hard to accomplish yet we take zero tolerance for the leaders who abuse the power to serve just their associates and family. From this perspective, it is an undeniable tragedy of Cambodia embracing leaders with the least conscience, national pride and knowledge and vision to guide their leadership. I cry out loud at this point!!!
I try to bring back my spirit of optimisticism though, as I feel it’s the least I can do to lift the country out of grievance and this hopefully invites more miracles of intellectual forces, if not financially, to reshape the mindset of current leaders and empower them with the proper skills to lead the country to last.
In this spirit, I personally propose some remedies for Cambodians society:
- Allow the people with gift or talent or great mind to exercise their capacity and skills. Let them express or work to the extent their talent and ability permit in open and friendly atmosphere.
- Fight for a system for all. To achieve, start from individual’s achievement that can inspire the next. All together build up such system and say “ABSOLUTELY NO” to fake achievements that can only have negative side effects for the others. Think about corruption-individual’s achievement but with the great negative side effects that shape the mindsets of other individuals and the whole country to disaster.
- Equip the communities/society with analytical reasoning skills. This can be achieved only there is a proper formal education supported and financed by some sustainable organizations. The widespread of the true news also enables people to realize about the situations. The media, non-gov.t organizations and political activists with proper, regular training will set path for the long term success. Shape the mindset of people to agree with progress, development for their communities and “NO COMPROMISE” for devastation or fake development done by the ignorance, or mismanagement of the responsible leaders.
- Judge the quality of work but not the amount of work done. Quality of work will lead to more credentials rather than just the rubbish work that will lead to more and more complicated consequences. Think and plan, before act is the key to long-sustainable growth for the whole country. The leaders must be held with full responsibility and they must resign if ever something causing great loss ever happens!
- Shape the mindsets of people to value and embrace healthy growth: from mental to physical health. Start from the corner of your community, in your family and spread to the rest of the country. Power of the state is shared, influenced and reinforced by every individual inside and outside the country.
And there’re a lot more that my ignorance doesn’t seem to open my mind to realize yet I hope there’s miracle and a lot more Cambodians will join intellectual and financial forces to steer our beloved country to survive and last in this sometimes fiercely competitive world.
Long live the gifted, talent intellectuals and great minds!

Burany is Yuon, her marriage to Hun Sen was arranged by Yuon Hanoi.
So there is not big surprise that she visits the country of her origin.
