Cambodia asks America to cancel debts


By Khmerization

The Cambodian Finance Minister, Mr. Keat Chhon, has again asked the U.S government, through its ambassador to Cambodia, to cancel $300 million debts from the 1970s, reports Reaksmei Kampuchea.

The request was made during a meeting between Minister Keat Chhon and Ambassador Carol Rodley (pictured) on Monday 23rd November to discuss about co-operation between the two countries. In the discussion, Ambassador Rodley had requested for an expansion of the American-funded International School of Phnom Penh which is overcrowded. According to sources, the U.S government had provided three tax experts to help the Cambodian government with tax reforms. The first batch of experts had completed their term and, according to the same sources, the second batch of experts will be sent to replaced them soon.

During the discussion, Ambassador Rodley said she would pass on the request of a debt cancellation to the U.S government for considerations and promised to work with the U.S government for a debt relief for Cambodia.

Owe someone money and not want to pay back is not good person. Though Hun Sen did not borrow at that time, 1970s but country as a whole borrow money and next government must pay back. This is international law.

So Hun Sen should not keep borrowing money from other countries or our next generations must pay them back and as a result we will never be free from debt and poverty. So all Khmer people should know this and make your voice heard about this.

Hun Sen regime are the expert of begging, This thug has even contested in the past during the un annual conference, that even that when he and his cronie received aid from donor country, some fund goes to expert who was contracted by the donors country, who sleep in 5 star hotel, that in turn short change for their pocket. Often it is difficult to corrupted with less amount for cpp cronie. With his skill of begging
that's why he has earn many phd degree from thai and s.korea universitie etc.

Here is the problem that will face the next generations.The most borrowed monies went to the pockets of the rich and the powerful and then let the young generation pay for it.Bear in mind,when we say ;<< the RICHES and the powerful>>means they are super rich with hundred and hundred of millions or perhaps billion of dollars in their saving account.How can they amass such amount ,well go figure.CORRUPTION.

America will only cancel debts for a country with a friendly regime. The Hun sen regime is seen as a human rights abuser and too close to China and not very friendly with America.

America will cancel Cambodia's debts when American-friendly government is elected to powers, like the Sam Rainsy Party etc.

Hun Sen keeps borrowing money, and Hanoi keeps collecting from the back door. Hun Sen keeps feeding Hanoi evey day.

Hamer hits nail, nail hits wood. That's right, Hun Sen government has to pay back the debt made by Lon Nol government because Hun Sen government too borrow money and leave for the next generation to pay. Yes, it is fair for Hun Sen to pay back bacl debt left by Lon Nol.

Debts from 1970 and who were the responsible for ?
Some of the people, who got the money from the US Government at that time still live in the US ?

How much Sen owes Russia, Viet, Cuba, China, Singapore,and Japan?

$300 million loan from US was to stop Viet Cong from recruiting people like Sen-Sim-Sanrin to be Viet stooges.But all excuses are due to Sihanouk who slept with Viet Cong-Viet Minh and Viet stooges like DK-KPP.

Blaming Lon Nol was not right and unfair.Sihanouk told Lon Nol to stage his topple so he can fool China and Yuon.

Now who fools who? Monkey King lives where now?

5:02 PM,
We are laughing our azz(es) up at the same time reading your comment cursing King Sihanouk and Gen Lon Nol for their double strategies one with Capitalist and one with Communist to save Cambodia from your aggressive Youn Communist government. Don't forget we already knew that your Vietnamese communist infiltrated in Cambodia again during French colony, during Pol Pot regime and today, your bloody act killed million Khmers and now sucking money from Khmers through Hun Sen regime, and trying to distract Cambodian attentions?
It won't work, and it never will.

With billion of US dollars your Viet Communist collecting from Hun Sen (from Cambodian natural resources) to buy "6 Russian submarines of the class Kilo project 636 for 1,8 billions of US
dollars18. After this order, the Vietnamese air force also got, in September 2009, from Moscow 12 military planes Sukhoi Su - 30MK2 for about 400 millions of Euros.
The Vietnamese pilots already trained for several months in Russia. Since 2005, Vietnam invests important money in its army for technological upgrading. All this money surpasses all investments made during over the last 30 years". Doctorat Candidate Maya Mary Kong who wrote in her PhD thesis.

You can no longer fool too many Young Cambodian like us anymore.
