Expanding our Mind Series
Where are the enlightened Cambodian male leadership in supporting our mothers, sisters and daughters into political leadership positions, like Brazilian Luiz da Silva? Excerpts from article:
Poised to Lead Brazil, Facing Unfinished Tasks

Confident and outspoken, “She arrived with a laptop and would press the little buttons all the time while telling me, ‘No, Mr. President, it’s not like that, it’s like this,’ ” Mr. da Silva recalled in a recent speech. Three hours later, he said, he was convinced he had his new Minister of Energy and Mines. . .
If elected, she will have Mr. da Silva, the most popular Brazilian president in a generation, to thank for transforming a no-nonsense bureaucrat and former student militant without elected political experience into his chosen successor. . .
Nevertheless, one year later she was captured and imprisoned for what she called crimes of “opinion and organization,” spending almost three years behind bars where, she said, she was repeatedly tortured with electroshocks and other methods. . .
She developed a reputation for her no-nonsense, often demanding, approach, with the news media calling her the Iron Lady. . .
Mr. da Silva later entrusted her to oversee the multibillion-dollar infrastructure fund that is working to modernize the country. While chairwoman of the state oil giant, Petrobras, she also helped write the government’s new oil laws, which would give the oil giant the primary role in developing the enormous new deepwater oil fields that could be a cash cow for the nation.
Ms. Rousseff favors using a large chunk of the oil revenues to enhance public education. [Whereas the Cambodian People's Party steals the money and does everything to make the population as stupid and uneducated as them.]
