Roadmap for Cambodia development
-Be warned that if the mindset and leadership of current leaders are still toward “NEPOTISM, partisanship, TOO SELF-SUSTAINED PRIDE AND SOME OTHER NEGATIVE MINDSET AND ATTITUTES THAT CONSCIOUSLY ENCOURAGE CORRUPTION PRACTICE, IMPUNITY CULTURE, PATRONAGE CULTURE just to name a few-which all these practices are aiming to achieve ONE GOAL: THE LIFE-LONG POWER HOLDING, which is by no rationale or excuses would contribute to sustainable growth and most importantly THE EXISTENCE OF CAMBODIA COUNTRY.”

-And how can Khmers rescue themselves with the presence of such practices and cultures WHICH HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED BY ALL OF THESE UNSCRUPULOUS LEADERS?
The root causes of the persistent problems are:
First of all, blame our country for undergoing through several civil wars FLARED UP BY POWERFUL NATIONS say CHINA, RUSSIA, USA AND OTHER RICH COUNTRIES that, with no slight doubt, stirred the political atmosphere in Cambodia aiming to “EMPLOY CAMBODIA AS IDEOLOGICAL BATTLE ZONES OR POWER-TESTING ZONES BETWEEN THE SUPERPOWER BLOCS”. This can’t be allowed to happen anymore. And BLAMING GAME SHOULD NOT BE PLAYED ANYMORE: Sihanouk blames Lon Nol, khmer leaders in history blame family infighting to take power and … . (This PAST HISTORY can reflect to why Khmers including leaders are easy to become puppet of foreign countries. AND FROM THIS LESSON, KHMERS SHOULD STEER THE COUNTRY TOWARD BUILDING A STRONG EFFICIENT SYSTEM GOVERNED BY THINK TANKS OR PEOPLE WITH GREAT MINDS AND “THOSE PEOPLE ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE IF DEEMED UNCAPABLE OR NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO COPE WITH THE CRISIS” and the system should not be ruled by the same people as their life-long power holding or the SYSTEM WILL BE PRONED TO GIVING BREATH AND BIRTH TO UNCIVILIZED-ABOVE CULTURE AND PRACTICES.
Secondly, if Khmer leaders do not know how to play politics (Or at least ask yourself whether YOUR POLITICS GAME WILL BRING ABOUT ANY BENEFITS FOR THE COUNTRY, AND IF NOT BRING ABOUT DESTRUCTION AND COUNTRY SPLIT INTO PIECES) then the leaders MUST NOT PLAY THE GAME (engage in the game as puppets of foreign countries BECAUSE OF SELF-SUSTAINED PRIED AND POWER: Learn from Sihanouk’s past mistakes). The leaders MUST LEARN TO FIX AND UPGRADE THE SYSTEM, NOT EMBRACE AND COMPLICATE THE EXISTING PROBLEMS. Everyone in Cambodia knows too well that CORRUPTION PRACTICES HINDER THE PROGRESS IN CAMBODIA AND ONLY THE THINK TANKS AND PEOPLE WITH GREAT MINDS CAN OFFER SOLUTIONS AND CAN CARRY OUT THE TASKS TO SUSTAINABLE GROWTH. And look at Cambodia nowadays. People SHOULD SPIT ON THE LEADERS’ HEADS BECAUSE THEY APPEAR NO BETTER THAN A GROUP OF GANGSTER OR MAFIA, WHO ESTABLISH AND SUPPORT THEIR SO-CALLED SYSTEM OF NEPOTISM AND PARTISANSHIP. This in America, where I reside, has also been practiced BUT ONE COMMON GOAL IS TO STEER THE COUNTRY TO DEVELOPMENT FOR ALL, NOT JUST ANARCHIC DEVELOPMENT THAT ONLY THE SMALL SUM OF PEOPLE CAN BENEFIT. Build the network for information dissemination: bring up the issues for discussion and network to spread the news-the news of the truth, investigation and more and more research conducted to spur the development of the system and to integrate the findings into policy-decision MUST BE PRESENT IN CAMBODIA. Again policy-decision and making only to EMBRACE AND SUSTAIN SELF-POWER AND INTEREST MUST BE KEPT ASIDE. DO NOT HUMILIATE IDEAS, PEOPLE WITH GREAT MINDS AND THINK TANKS-THEY ALL CAN CONTRIBUTE A GREAT DEAL TO DEVELOPMENT, NOT ONLY FOR PARTY BUT FOR COUNTRY AS A WHOLE.
“A GOOD STRONG EFFICIENT SYSTEM MUST BE IN THE HAND OF PEOPLE WITH GREAT MINDS AND THINK TANKS, AND THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTION FOR THAT.”
In this end, more actions, move and plans must be in place to spur not only progress of party but start from individual progress that can inspire other people. The party must embrace and recruit such people. Plus, the party must encourage more discussion, debate in public and “wait and see” or “Manipulation from the suffering and hardship of people” politics MUST NOT BE PLAYED ANYMORE. Instead be ready and willing to help by establishing network which is comprised by professionals and experts in various fields to help needy people MUST BE MADE AVAILABLE AS A SYSTEM.

“Empower the people is the key.”

11:58 PM you're a despicable chucklehead. Go back to school, kid, and don't be writing any thing here any more, you hear?

Through his discourse H.Y.T. is giving the readers his long shot vision of the Khmer society as he sees the picture from this topic and knows that the Khmer government doesn't do much to improve the lifestyle of its constituents.

Look at the picture and we see that the Khmer people are living low like they did in 1700's. But now it is the year 2008, an era that most people in this modern time aer living in high standard. But the Khmers are living directly in the dirt. Can you not see, chuck?

Remember, stop posting your silly discourse, or I'll slap your damn head silly. Turn off your CP, go and do your home work and stay in your room, alright.
