How can Cambodia win over both enemies Thai and Vietnam?
The high officials Khmer leaders to
the lowest officials lack of leadership,management,and irresponsibility of duties as leaders.
There are 6,000,000 Vietnam immigrants living peacefully.
The other 20,000 soldiers are in guard or alert to protect Hun Sen.
There are dozen thousand secret policemen and women everywhere in
Cambodia.
Hun Sen and Vietnam govt killed
Khmer every day,months,and years
K5,Koh Pich Bridge,and much much more.
The 58 dead and 484 injured because Khmer govt lack of management and accomplish duties
during Khmer new year.

What do your guys expect when a country is run by former who never saw cars before they came to power, driving ox cart in rice paddy.

Now that they run the country, they them self don't know how to drive, let alone set the rules for other drivers.
