    I don't have problem with Cambodia riches, well, that is capitalism. But I do want to see Cambodia closing the gap between the rich and the poor. Not only it is social responsible government but also it will enable Cambodia to expand economy because of increase in consumer market; more taxes, more jobs and less headache for the government. Don't you think it is a great idea to close the gap for the rich and poor? The world is doing this and why shouldn't Cambodia? Please give me a better reason not to do that....

    ooh that make that make it so hard for Long Beach and Khmer gang oversea to target them since they cannot tell which one is the spoil and which one really wants to help Khmer society.

    I say kidnap them all and make them give you their watches, mercedes and everything and burn it!

    more taxes doesn't solve anything in Cambodia. It only give more money to the elites. What cambodia need is another auto-genocide to wipe out all the selfish elites once and for all.

    Cambodia receives millions of dollars of aids yet nothing achieve accept to make bad people more rich and poor people more powerless.


    Where can we get a force as strong as that Pol Pot mounted against the elites? Only divine intervention now can be cause such destruction. Hok Lundy was the first to be struck by divine intervention.

    Lord universe send more lighting and helicopter crash to the corrupt officials so innocent Khmer and other people in Cambodia can be spare from another civil strife.

    10:25 AM, I have a problem with the these rags to riches people because they become rich from stealing from the Cambodian nation through corruption. The children featured in the article are the children of military generals, deputy prime ministers and so on. So where did they get the money from to make them so rich?

    They are the children of Gen. Meas Sophea, Sar Kheng, Ke Kimyan etc. And see what the article say about Cham Prasidh's house? It sounds like it is more grand than the White House. Where did he get all the money from? And Hun To with a half a million dollars custom-made car from the U.S. Where did he get the money from?

    Outside of law every body did the same thing.
    It happened every where around the world, also in the states, europe or in your own country.
    No one of us like these bad behavior citizen, because they lacked the real educational background. They of course have academic degree but not the humanity education. Materials are always important for them. They believed, they were respecting by others.

    2:33 has a great point that I want to add. These f*cking super RICH people do not have "humanity education". I don't know about the society and other people and how everyone is interconnected. These shitty rich kids only know how to TAKE and TAKE more. Look at the way they speak. They look at money as simply "CAKE". Clearly this says that they only know how to eat. F*ck ah Hun Sh*t for creating this kind of culture. Where is Ah MeasThes ah stupid jerk who always argue relentlessly for ah Hun Sh*t's people.

    I hope the world will look carefully before they give to Canbodia again. All those monies was for the poor Khmers, not for the Rottens, Greeds and Cruelty like those people.
    Those so "call rich" are shameless.
    They make Cambodia a bad name.
    They are bragging about the monies they don't even earn. They are the Thieves who robbed from the Poors.

    This article must appear in other publications. In KI or Autralian's newspaper alone won't do much good. Those innocent young punks or their parents that cann't even read or understand English won't give a dime about it. They'll just brush it a side and life will go on as usual.

    I think that what is needed is for all Khmers abroad to send this article to their Members of Parliaments and Senators together with the news that Cambodia has just deported 20 Uighur people to China whre they probably will face torture and eventual death, and ask them to stop providing money for Hun Sen's budget as they do every year.

    The common expressions seen on this site such as F.... this or mother f....... that, DO NOT HELP CAMBODIA OR THE POOR IN CAMBODIA. Please Khmers abroad grow up and DO SOMETHING for your PEOPLE AND COUNTRY, do not just sit at home and use dirty language to vent you frustration. It is only by concerted and continuous actions that CAMBODIA would be liberated from the Hun Sen mafia.

    If they get rich through their own hard work, sweat and blood like Bill Gates, George Soros, etc, who cares ? But in this case, they got there through corruption, stealing and plundering from the country, the donors, and the poor.

    What a shame. Don't expect them to change when they take over from their parents. Cambodia needs a Marcos type revolution. It needs a few strong and rebellious military leaders from within to achieve this.

    You know why Cambodia is called "KAM" in Khmer, I feel so ashamed to be Khmer after I hear all this heartless people. I've said many times that I wish another like Pol Pot will come again but this time he will select only what so call elite Rich Khmer to put in in a building like S21 (Toul Sleng). I fell so sorry for the innocent kids that have born and trapped in Cambodia. I'm so outrageous I try to help Cambodian kids like PIO (People Improvment Organization) with my meager saving..but if these kids just have a slight opened heart, just open their eyes to see all these impoverishes kids is they can just give and share 10% of what they have would save thousand of kids.

    Has anyone catch this line: The Cambodia mega rich kids scorn their poor compatriots. The word scorn means HATE. These mather f*cking leeches must get the hell out of Cambodia. They like to live abroad, let them stay abroad. In fact, they need to pay taxes just like everybody else. Someone wrote that typically, a Cambodian person lives less than one dollar a day while these mega rich kids spend 2 thousands dollars a night. They know nothing about Cambodia's past history and they just want to be "rich" on the backs of the ordinary Cambodians. Does anyone remember when a family who had their means of living, the motorscooter, confiscated becacuse they couldn't pay the TAXES, so why the Hun Sh*t government does not make these shitty mega rich people pay taxes also. How much tax does Hun Sen pay anyway? What I don't understand is this: The parents of these shitty kids went through the Khmer Rouge regime and how come they still become like this. It is about time that these parasites get deported from Cambodia since they like to live abroad that much. It's time mather f*ckers shit!

    No actually those rich people didn't work hard for it. They actually played corruption and killed for it. In today's news paper on the Cambodia Daily talks about the Land Management of Cambodia and you will see where they get the money from. The world bank gave 24.3 for land titling and administration but it mostly went on corruption. The people that live at Beoung Kak Lake has lost their land because of their corruption.52

    This is absolutely atrocious and disgusting. This generation have the means and the education to bring Cambodia out of its 3rd world economic status. They have the influence of modern thinking but yet it seems they have the humility of a sewer rat. This is where all the foreign aid money goes, to continue their lavish lifestyle funded on the tears and blood of the poor !
    I can slightly try to work my way to understand that the parents are criminal,heartless scum that have no remorse in their actions to steal from your fellow countrymen. But the kids have been educated overseas where their eyes have been open to the world! Where the many flavours and thought of people exist and I am pretty sure some influence of humility and pride !
    This articles in short, just makes me simply sad. I can go on and on about having some love for your country men and putting love back into a country still recovering from genocide, but it makes me too angry and I catch myself raving on.
    To the rich theiving families of Cambodia - you are an embarrassment to yourself, your ancestors, your country and mostly to humanity. Money and possession will not buy your way into paradise when the light has left your body.
