I agree 9:55.
Don't put horrible song. Temper down on the youtube videos, most of us here to read article about Cambodia we cannot find elsewhere. If we want to watch youtube we would be in YouTube not KI.

So come with YouTube time to time but don't choke your blog to death with it.

Thank you

Do any of those CPP officials - including Sen, Sim, and Samrin - hold any legal documents for the numerous properties and estates they currently own except those papers issued by their own controlled authorities?

If all historical data had been destroyed by the Pol Pot regime, who is to say what is state property and what is not, what's legal tenure and what's illegal one?

It's apparent most of these poor folk are living where they are not out of choice, but rather out of necessity and desperation. Most of them have left behind their farms or villages in search of jobs and security of some sort in the towns or places within their proximity.

And the main reason why they left their villages in the first place is partly to do with the State's lack of interest in, or failure to device coherent rural development strategies for the provinces.

We learned not long ago that it took the PM's intervention to get a road in the middle of Siem Reap city paved. Until then the road itself had served as a popular chatting topic among tourists on their way to the hotel!

Now is this really down to lack of funding as the Royal Government tirelessly moan, or is it because local officials are far more preoccupied with lining their private pockets than giving thought to the importance of gearing up and beautifying the most important tourist destination in the country?

Why is it that the tycoons always find the finance to build their luxury casinos, but not other more wholesome public amenities? I understand further that many of these tycoons are Cambodians, in which case, how have they acquired and amassed their fortunes and capital in the first place? And are they not the same people now ejecting these poor folk off their shanty towns?

Enough is enough!
Power to the People!!!
