does the indian 100% sure those marijuana really came from cambodia? i quite concern it belong to india themself! and play blame game. cambodia airport officer need to check if these 3 drug smuggler really flew from cambodia to india and resporn immidiatly.
As a Khmer born, felt so bad and got angry to hear from TV in the country (Europe), who I am now living. Of course, I know very well and it is not true and the stories were also very old.
Some caucasians love and enjoy to blame Cambodia. Always used the name of Country Cambodia, when some sort of stories connected with drugs. These people sound to me did not have a real educational background as they believe.
Only you support the Thai military coup.
As long as Cambodia is being run by Hun Sen, people would find difficult to tackle drugs problems in Cambodia. All Hun Sen friends are making moneys.
