HI
your blog is very intructive
I like it a lots.
Keep on going your great job !
There were good efforts by Kem Sokha to promote human rights in Cambodia. However, some people keep scratching their heads on the status of Kem Sokha, whether he is a politician or a NGO's worker. To take this opportunity to advance his credits in relation to the recent political outcomes in Cambodia is indicated as an opportunist and stepping over the line of NGO's principles. To maintain the NGO's principles is the sustainability of confidence and trust to all local NGOs and international-GOs, and Cambodian population.
