Must "Let true freedom ring in Cambodia" to foster "true audacity of Hope". "True liberty and freedom has been denied in Cambodia" way too long for khmer to bear. VietNam/Vietcong/Youn is the source of the problem. sVar Kim Hong and Hun Sen must not sell out Cambodia and start resolving the vietcong infiltration problem in Cambodia which is the real suffering and concerns for Khmer today.

ASEAN must help not hurt. Asean must straighten out the vietcong passive aggression and border encroachment in Cambodia.

ASEAN must promote rule of laws in S.E Asia for it to be meaningful.

Thank You for your attention,
