With Nidec Corporation, Minebea Co., Ltd. and harness cable car manufacture investment recently announced Cambodia now have a core high-tech industry that bode well for the future of the country industrialization policy. Hope that Cambodians will not need to travel to neighbouring countries for jobs anymore.

A land of corruption is better than a land of destruction.
