Corruption in Cambodia
Tuesday, January 20, 2009
Op-Ed by U. Bun Heang
Translation from Khmer by Heng Soy
Corruption issue in Cambodia is a tale from the “1001 Nights (The Arabian Nights)” for the Cambodian people. It stretches from the top to the bottom levels of the government.
The anti-corruption law is a law that has not been drafted yet because the Tuol Krasaing (Hun Sen’s residence) group and the CPP are still learning how to put consonants and vowels together to spell the word “law.” Interestingly enough, Cambodian government VIPs have received “Ph.D.” degrees from various unknown universities around the world.
Cambodian people still live in poverty, this is a past reflection on the Tuol Krasaing group and the CPP … because, in the past, the latter were very poor and they did not even have enough to feed their children, but now that the Tuol Krasaing group and the CPP are becoming multi-millionaires and they have plenty to stuff their face, they have also created a class system filled with injustice.
