Another foreign loan?
Another piece of meat to share?
Riches have another party with tender meat,but poor cambodians will have the bone for soup.

It is time for those riches put back the money for the investment.

I wish all political leaders are doing the right things by not taking advantage of the poor nations and moving toward equal opportunity in the name of human race as the 'righteous will live forever and the wicked will be terminated' Bible Proverbs. or Buddha saying " bad karma will occur if one is to take advantage of the other, seek for peace and peace will come forth".
