PHNOM PENH - AN 11-YEAR-OLD Cambodian girl has died from bird flu, officials said on Wednesday, bringing to four the number of fatalities from the virus since the start of the year.

The child, from eastern Kampong Cham province, died on March 31, the health ministry and the World Health Organisation said in a joint statement. Tests confirmed she had contracted H5N1 avian influenza.

'The girl is the 14th person in Cambodia to become infected with the H5N1 virus and the 12th to die from complications of the disease' since 2003, the statement said.


In early February, Cambodia reported its first bird flu fatality in nearly a year with the death of a five-year-old girl.

Later that month a mother and her 11-month-old son also fell victim to the virus.

The H5N1 strain of avian influenza has killed more than 300 people worldwide since 2003.

Hun Sen did not build many modern and high-tech hospitals and medical schools or universities in Cambodia.

He just enjoy taking and keeping money he took and has been bribed from Cambodia. He is supposed to serve people when he wanted to be a PM of Cambodia. He was installed as a Prime Minister by Communist Vietnam Hanoi in 1985 after former PM Pen Sovan was ousted.

What is the world Hun Sen has been doing in Cambodia without transparency?

Hun Sen has been misled by Communist Vietnam Hanoi leader and Vietnamese/CPP members in Phnom Penh. Then, the people and country of Cambodia have been misled by Hun Sen for more than 30 years.

So, under the stinky leadership of Hun Sen, in the 21st century or in the modern day, Cambodia still does NOT have the following under Hun Sen's 30-years leadership and operation (controlled by his Vietnam Hanoi and CPP members):

1. modern and high-tech hospitals,
2. modern medical schools,
3. modern roads and railroads/trains
4. modern bridges,
5. big modern airports,
6. big modern seaports,
7. modern public health centers for poor people,
8. modern public transportation,
9. modern emergency ambulances,
10. modern police cars and equipments,
11. free enterprise,
12. freedom for every Cambodian citizen to express and bring the ideas and suggestions to rebuild Cambodia,
13. fitness centers,
14. more and so on...

Again, Hun Sen still dose not see how ugly is it under his leadership and operation are controlled by his Communist Vietnam Hanoi and Vietnamese/CPP members.

Cambodia is very rich with natural resources, rich cultures, and so on. The Cambodia have everything and why are Cambodian people still poor today and lack of food and lack of full access to health care and educations?

Cambodian has been under those Communist leaders coming from Vietnam since 1979 and there is nothing really developed in the modern day. It is very disappointing to Cambodian people. It is time for Cambodia to clean up those messes under Hun Sen, Vietnamese CPP members or leader in Phnom Penh and the control of Communist Vietnam Hanoi leaders.
