Cambodia on Wednesday sent a group of 197 forces to Lebanon for a UN peace keeping mission in the framework of the UN's interim forces, bringing the total Cambodian forces in Lebanon to 219.

During a see-off ceremony at the military airport on Wednesday, Tea Banh, minister of defense, advised the forces to respect the independence of the sovereignty of the country that will work on the mission and keep good relations with that country, as well as maintain the dignity of Cambodia as they represent the country.

Prak Sokhon, undersecretary of state for the council of ministers and chairman of the National Coordination Committee of UN Peacekeeping Operation, said that including the forces to Lebanon, up to now, Cambodia has sent 845 forces to join the UN Peacekeeping Operation overseas.


On November 8, a group of 21 engineering forces at the Cambodian Royal Armed Forces had already departed for Lebanon for a one year humanitarian mission to construct roads, bridges, and de-mining. The group of 21 left early in order to prepare camps, materials and equipments in advance.

Under the United Nations Peace Keeping Programs, Cambodia has sent de-mining teams to Sudan, Chad and Central African as well as Lebanon for humanitarian mission.

If they want to clean up the corruption, they have to start from top first, just like you would in cleaning the dirt from a staircase; you would start with the upper steps first.
Everyone knows that the bribes taken by the lower echelons are fed back up to the higher ones, likewise if the higher echelons don’t give a green light the lower ones would not dare to take the bribes.
So, the leader of a nation takes full responsibility to combat the corruption, and to blame somebody else for the failure is irresponsible.
You are elected to do this kind of work and more good deeds to the nation; do you understand Ah Kwack Muoy Khang? But, so far you have done the opposite.
