US Begins $77 Million Health Program

By Chun Sakada, VOA Khmer
Original report from Phnom Penh
26 March 2009


The US Embassy on Thursday launched a new five-year health program, allotting $77 million over five years to combat HIV and AIDS, tuberculosis and infectious diseases.

Cambodia has seen improving health indicators in recent years, the US Embassy said in a statement, but maternal mortality rates and tuberculosis remained a concern.

The US health program "is designed to help address many of these challenges in order to improve the health of all Cambodians, especially the poor and vulnerable," US Ambassador Carol Rodley said in remarks Thursday. "This program builds on over 15 years of successful work and collaboration in Cambodia, and it reaffirms the continued commitment of the United States to improve the health of all Cambodians."

The money, through USAID, will be distributed to government and non-governmental health agencies, including the Ministry of Health, the University Research Company, Reproductive Health Association of Cambodia and Cambodia Reproductive and Child Health Resource Center.

"USAID assistance at this time is a very important contribution to the development of the health capacity and public capacity of the health system," Health Minister Mam Bunheng said Thursday. "Our country still faces enormous challenges, and there are many requirements in all sectors."

Overseas Khmer doing dirty business in Cambodia. Look at your scumbag friends now, Western educated assholes.

Excerpt from Phnom Penh Post:

The Phnom Penh Municipal Court on Wednesday sentenced the owner of the Mikado Club to seven years in prison and its manager to eight years, for aggravated procurement of prostitution. Sor Sarivoan, also known as Jacki, 60, and his manager Pov Thoeun, known as David, 38, were arrested in March 2008 in a police raid. Chou Bun Eng, a secretary of state at the Ministry of Interior, told the Post: "I welcome the conviction, but I am still concerned about their website, which shows naked Cambodian girls. It impacts women's morality and must be banned."

To 3:59am,

Why are you having so much hatred against Khmers overseas? Would you rather love YOUNS or THAIS right now? What have they done to you? Majority of Khmers in Cambodia have atleast one or two ralatives overseas. Becareful with that anger and hatred. Are you jealous that you can't enjoy a wonderful life? If you hate the West so much, why are you writing this blog in English? Stop using English! What is wrong with Western Education? Hun Sen did sent his son to West Point NY and London. Must Sihanouk's families were educated in Europe. Why don't you go and call them "ASSHOLES"!!!!! I guess you can't do that, because you will get killed or cut-off from corrupted funds.

There are bad and good people every where you go. You have to accept that, and there are a few bad apples among Khmers overseas. However, that is less impact on Khmers society in Cambodia than your corrupted gov't.

Every comment you posted, you always show that hatred toward Khmers oversea with no common sense. I know you weak point is that, you want to oppress Khmers in Cambodia. You're afraid that all these comments from Khmers oversea will enble Khmers in Cambodia to seek more freedom and defian Hun Sen's regime.

Don't worry it's only matter of time. Khmers will have enough of him and his regime will be gone.

I love you all Khmers, but NOT you 3:59am.

SUck my dick, Ah Khmer Plerk OverSeas. I don't hate Khmer overseas for being there but for being stupid and ignorant of the reality in Cambodia. FuCK YOU and all the rest of you stupid fuck. I added that article as a rhetoric and sarcastic remark on how these fuckers on KI don't report anything but the government people, thus making them a fucking biased political site than just a news gather that they advertise themselves as.

You fuck don't live in Cambodia so you only hear shit from other people and you think you know everything on how it works here. Well, you don't.

FYI, I can speak whatever I want. You're talking about me wanting to suppress other people? What a contracting irony here? Telling me not to speak English, motherfucker. Maybe the first thing you should learn is the definition of self-contradiction and hypocrisy.

9:28 AM

begging from you? lol you made me laugh my ass off. The only people that beg from you are your relatives in Cambodia that are slacking fucking bums that depend on your sorry ass dish washing fuckers to send them money, right? Well, fuck you too. I work for my money as hard as anyone else. You think you're the only fuck that work for his money. FUck you, PUto. Learn that bitch. PUto = YOu = bitch.

9:35 AM

Moron like you don't even understand the difference between being critical and just pure bashing. That would explain why you dumb ass is getting manipulated every day and don't even know about it. When will you wake up and realize that you are being fucked in the ass? Coming to the West? No, thank you. Don't you have recession to take care off. Just make sure you can pay off your bills and loans before your bank lose all your money and you go live on the street, MR. Western lol.

Holy shit! Look how defensive Khmer overseas get with just a little bad thing said about them. WOW! You guys talk shit about the Khmer government all the time but that one guy say one thing about Khmer overseas, everyone becomes so defensive lol. I guess people don't like being stuck to but have no problem sticking it to other. Hypocrites much?

Don't speak English?
Don't beg us for money?
Don't come here?

I didn't know Khmer overseas sell out so quick and become a redneck lol. Did you forget about the mother Cambodia already lol?

If there is something I hate is a sellout and sounds like there is a bunch of them on here demonstrating their "Western"ness. I've been in American for half my life but I am still Khmer and definitely don't think like the majority of the sellout redneck Khmer on here, brothers.

To 9:35am,

WOW! We Khmers oversea got offensive....look at your comments...swearing at people left and right....I guess your education really came from one of those Universities made my Hun Sen with foreign aids money...but title his name.

Sorry you can not fuck me, I'm not your type. Oh....We Khmers oversea are very particular about the looks, and hygien. I guess you don't have either one of them, because you don't even have a shower!!! Oh...you can go fuck YOUNS whors...there are plenty in Phnom Penh and they do cary HIV and AIDS.

Well you can hate Khmers oversea or Western world all you want. You the one "Cambodia" that needs us the most. We will not loose nothing, but Cambodia.

Oh another thing, you don't have to explain your comments above. It clearly stated that you have hatred toward Khmers oversea. Well go ahead love YOUNS and THAIS, that how Cambodia lost territories. I guess history will repeat itself.

Of course you love and praise Hun Sen, because you are part of corrupted elite. Just step out side of your villa or fortress or Lexus once in awhile. You will see how majority of Khmers live pauverty. However, you are not going to feel anything as you are a heartless person like Hun Sen. I have been Cambodia so many times too. There are only two classes of people in Cambodia: extremely wealthy and extremely poor.

To 10:16pm,

I certainly second your comments above.

Look at the comments from Mr. PhD at 11:59am. That all the words he could learned from Hun Sen's university. You just ashame to Khmer race. You are just like YOUNS, every word come out of their mouths is DO MA....DO MA...DO MA.

Anyway, your comments will meant nothing to me. However, it will show all people in this website that you are an ignorant, lack of education, and lack of descipline. You are so High School, oh I forgot Hun Sen's university academic's level is equal to our High School education in the West or even in India.

Another point to 11:59am, keep your pinky-sized-penis in your pants. No one has the desire to be with you.

And, I hope you wash that mouth with soap before kissing your love one at home.
