Dictator Hun Sen's New Clothes, a Cambodian Adaptation

By Khmer Democrat, Phnom Penh

Plot
Cambodian Dictator Hun Sen who cares for nothing but his wardrobe hires two Vietnamese weavers who promise him the finest suit of clothes from a fabric invisible to anyone who is unfit for his position or "just hopelessly stupid". Dictator Hun Sen cannot see the cloth himself (from spiritual and physical blindness because he only has one eye, plus, there's nothing to see!) but pretends that he can for fear of appearing unfit for his position or stupid (as he has many, MANY honorary Ph.Ds bestowed on him from XiXa University, Xaigon College, Xun Xen Super University, Bun Honey Xinternational College, and so on and so forth); his ministers Hor Nam Hong, Keat Chhon, Ang Vong Vathana et al do the same (for they also have similar honorary degrees from the same prestigious universities).

Oh-no, they cannot appear unfit or stupid.

When the Vietnamese swindlers report that the suit is finished, they dress him in mime and Dictator Hun Sen then marches in procession before his subjects. A child, Heng Soy's 8-year-old precocious niece Thida, in the crowd calls out that Dictator Hun Sen is wearing nothing at all.

"Uncle Heng Soy, he's naked. Disgusting!" she lets out.

And the cry is taken up by others—Sam Rainsy, Thun Saray, Kek Galabru, Theary Seng, Ou Virak, Rong Chhun, Naly Pilorge, Mu Sochua, Kem Sokha (and 13.8 million other Cambodians, but more quietly in the safe confines of their dwellings, as they fear curses by Tep Vong, the Great Supreme Patriarch re-ordained under Vietnamese supervision in 1979, as they are still a very superstitious people)—as well as the visiting dignitaries in the audience—Yash Ghai, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Global Witness, OSJI Heather Ryan, UN Special Rapporteur Surya Subedi et al. Dictator Hun Sen cringes, suspecting the assertion is true, but holds himself up proudly and continues with the destruction of Cambodia.

I was among the crowd too and say Hun Sen's dick swinging ding dong.. ding dong.. but he pretends that nothing has happened to him.
Thanks to an 8 years old Heng Soy who keep pointing to the naked Hun Sen.... I heard some other kids whisppered and looking for sling shot to shot Hun Sen dick.

Yes, I met Heng Soy's niece Thida once and that precocious little thing! So cute!

Heng Soy, you seem to have a lot of precocious relatives running around!

Regards to your family, Heng Soy. Keep up the great work!

This is an old BARANG story!

You do not have your own Cambodian story?

Seems to me as you only can COPY but not produce something from your own mind.

How sad............

5:43 PM, before you get too sad, pick up a book to read sometime, it may make you less sad.

As you have yet to discover books, let me tell you a bit about how they work, esp this tale The Emperor's New Clothes, which is loved the world over, translated into over 100 languages. Books make you smart. Books make you have IMAGINATION. Books make you CREATIVE.

But if you're of the CPP brand, you may not want these things as they can be dangerous. Because books are dangerous to some.
