Government of Cambodia,

Please make peace with Vietnam and Thailand but stay away from both races as far as possible!

We could not expect anything regarding country development from them but manipulation at Cambodia's expense. Please look for countries that do not view Cambodia as competitor or object of manipulation.

Oh come on! I don't know where AH Koy Kuong had been but over the years the more cooperation between Cambodia and Vietnam and Vietnam continue to hijack Cambodia in many field of common interest such economic, health, scientific...or what have you! Vietnam continues to out pace Cambodia light year ahead!

Listen up AH Koy Kuong! As long as the Vietnam possesses the know how and dirt poor Cambodia continue to play stupid or be stupid and all the fucken cooperation with the Vietcong government are useless! Where the Vietcong government fail and that is where they chose to cooperates with AH HUN SEN government and that is to steal what Cambodia has legally!

There can be no common interest between Cambodia and Vietnam because it will lead to competition! And when you have competition and there will be looser and winner!

I am very concerned about the Vietnamese's Gov. They keep annexing Cambodia, and i don't know when this will be stopped. If Hun Sen still in powers Cambodia will keep losing land to the Viet.During the World War i betwwen the German and Russia, Vladamir Lenin overthrown King Nicholas 2 from the throne. Because the King was fighting a declining war with the German, and eventually the King was killed. I am not suggesting anyone to kill the King at all, that is not my point.My point is that we need to have a regime change; otherwise, Cambodia will become Vietbodia.
