ទុក្ខសោកខ្មែរ តែចំណេញសៀម - Thai profit over Khmer sadness

Ratree Paipatanapaiboon, the secretary of Thailand's former Yellow Shirts leader Veera Somkwamkid, cries during the royal decree announcement to release and reduce ceremony in the prison in Phnom Penh February 1, 2013. Ratree, the first prisoner to be freed among more than 400 prisoners ordered by King Norodom Sihamoni on the occasion of his father late King Norodom Sihanouk's funeral, was released from the prison on Friday. Ratree and Veera were sentenced to six and eight years in prison over illegal entry and espionage in 2011. Veera had his term reduced to two years. REUTERS/Samrang Pring

Prison terms and who to release are told by HUN SEN. Everything is so political to a point there is no justice in society. The Cambodia court system is used by CPP to fit their needs... This is not a country ruled by laws but ruled by a bunch of gangsters. I have no respect for what happening now in Cambodia. If it wasn't for the OPPOSITION PARTIES, Cambodia would not be it is today. If we allow Hun Sen to do whatever he wants, Cambodia would still be a dirt poor country among their world poorest. I am proud of the country but ashamed of the rulers...

What make you so sure Sam Rainsy will be able to control all those bureaucrats. Most countries in southeast asia are run by peoples who had powers and wealths. These peoples are always had a big influence on justice systems. A country in southeast Asia will always have corruptions. This was always fact of life. Replacing Hun Sen alone will not solve a corruption in Cambodia. It take most wealthy people's and bureaucratics to cooperate to clean up corruptions. Problems are bigger than just Hun Sen. Cambodia and most SE Asia had many forms of corruptions. Every Cambodia regimes had corruption problems except Pol Pot, look what happen to 3 millions Cambodian.
