While the donation certainly provide vital contribution to the demining work in Cambodia, it is also important for Khmers to be aware of the fact that the donation itself has breeded corruption inside CMAC's top managment and the Japanese bidders for many years. During bidding opening, CMAC top leaders are usually invited by the governement of Japan to witness the bid opening that was attended by many Japanese bidding companies. And it is then that these CMAC top leaders are lobbied or paid bribed in the form of expensive gifts in order that their bid can be selected. Value of donation for those equipments most often than not, is always way beyond the market price.

My brothers, the works that you are doing in demining is greatly appreciated. It's a high risk job and you put aside all the risk and put your life on the line for the Khmer people to live freely and peacefully.

Bravo...
