Open Letter to Prime Minister

Re: Cambodia is an Island of Stability akin to Prince Sihanouk’s Island of Peace
Prime Minister,
I wanted to drop a quick note to acknowledge how under your leadership Cambodia is an Island of Stability, similar to Prince Sihanouk’s Island of Peace.
In Cambodia, we have stability, yes we do:
- stability of poverty of the body: mass poverty, dirt poverty, grinding poverty is not going anywhere; it’s here to stay. Your policy of poverty stability is working grandly. It’s really incredible how with the countless BILLIONS of U.S. dollars pouring into tiny Cambodia, it has not changed the status of the poor; you stabilized poverty!
- stability of poverty of the mind: impunity, violence, corruption, deep-seeded vengeance (kum), domestic abuse, prostitution, low expectations, low self-esteem, human trafficking – yes, I acknowledge they are all here to stay for a long time because of your policy conditioning it, encouraging it, entrenching it.
- stability of poverty of the spirit: fear, terrifying fear – it’s here to stay. Stabilized. Not going anywhere. Your policy makes sure of that. It must be your Khmer Rouge upbringing, as FEAR IS THE WEAPON OF ALL GENOCIDAL REGIMES. Another page of the Khmer Rouge Handbook that you still use is to desecrate religion; you have successfully POLITICIZED religion. Okay, maybe a bit different than the Khmer Rouge in they just outright banned and killed religion. But you are reformed Khmer Rouge; you let it live but shamefully, desecrating the sacred.
- stability of your friends in Laos, Burma, North Korea: the poor, the oppressed, the voiceless are going nowhere; the policies of stability make sure of that.
- stability akin to Prince Sihanouk’s Island of Peace: do you remember how peaceful it was? Remember Samlaut? Remember Prince Sihanouk's fate? Remember March 1970?
But, as the Arabs are reminding and demonstrating to us: the only certainty, the only stability we can be sure of is CHANGE. Brace your turn, Prime Minister.
Yours sincerely,
Khmer Democrat

Khmer Democrat,
Thanks for writing this. You are really hitting point, hopefully that Mr. Hun Sen can see with his one's eye.
Thanks on behalf of voiceless Khmer.
Even you're an idiot,
you should also see that
Hun Sen does axactely
like BenAli, MouBarack and Khadafi..
He is a REAL DICTATOR,
soon or late he must go,
There is no more place for DICTATORSHIP in this world.
Yes, the way he will be gone is like Hok Lundi.
Hope! the Old leach Shihanouk can help you (AH Kwack Hun Xen) again in this comming history enen!
Homelessness on the streets in the developed world has also been stabilized in the same condition. In Paris, in NY, in London... Somebody mind, not only has been stabilized, but crystallized. How one can see something in this condition?
Good writing KD. It is nice to see the creative writing that makes a lot of sense.
Sihanouk and Royalists are waiting for the time where CPP becomes weak to be kicked out,
Hun Sen knows it but he has no choice for the moment..
KD, your are the very voice of the unwanted, the oppressed, and the forgetten on Khmer soil. Thanks for lending us your voice.
Keep up the good work.
Excellent letter man ...
But Hun Sen does not know how to read.
