Typical street scenes in Ho Chi Minh City 2011/12:
Typical street scenes in Phnom Penh today:

| Being poor means being exposed to all kinds of misfortune in life including strong risk of being knocked over or crushed by heavy 4x4 vehicles like these. Note the accident captured in the foreground of this picture. Road accidents claim most of the country's injuries and fatalities every year - School of Vice |

At a recent ASEAN Summit held in Phnom Penh one mischievous
Thai reporter described Cambodia as a country 'with more Lexus per capita' than
any other he had known of; a claim which had not gone down well with a number
of the Phnom Penh regime's apologists. Although "national dignity"
was perceived to be at stake by these apologists as regards the same charge,
they curiously failed [and still fail] to be offended by the corrosive impact
that unbridled corruption still leaves upon the society and the lives of the vast
majority of their fellow countrymen? - School of Vice

Your life could be in TUL SLENG WITH YOUR HUMMER NEXT... DON'T FORGET TUL SLENG PRISON, OK AH SOY SOPHEAP OR AH CHOM KARMA KOSAL!!
But those luxury vehicles belong to Yuons living and doing business in Cambodia to escape the over crowded traffic in Vietnam.
Prey Nokor is a Khmer City
We will take it back, sooner or later, one way or another.
Stop being so sensity to critism of Cambodia. The photo of Vietnam shows majority of Vietnamese can afford to ride motobike. This indicates they have job and their economy is progressing. Comparing to the photo of PnomPhen where the stree is almost empty and only has a few luxury SUV driving by corrupted governmental officers. This suggests most Cambodians can not afford a motorbike. Cambodia economy is not progressing and not helping its 13 million people.
Do get upset to critism. Get rid of corruption. Do always blame other country looks down on your because you keeps begging. Cambodia's problem is Hun Sen and the CPP. Keep blaming the Viet get you no where!
Go home to Hanoi now you Viet/Yuon troller @4:21AM!
Stop sabotageing Khmer now you Viet/Yuon troller @4:21AM!
Damn gooks are nothing. I used to fight 10 against me and my brother when I was in high school and I still kicked their asses. Little shit gook mother fuckers. They are midget, but they talked smack because of numbers. If you see them 1v1 they're quiet like a little puppy. Damn gooks.
vietnam has worst "speech issue" than cambodia, to be fair to cambodia, why just pick on only cambodia? in actuality, cambodia is much better and continue to be so, you know. any country have some unruly people, it's probably a normal thing just like in cambodia there are unruly people. take side without education is biased, prejudice, discriminatory and perhaps ignorant and questionable as to the real motive, i think. we all can use a good education and training, really. even in america, there were talks to censor dangerous free speech toward gov't. i mean, something is allowable, something cannot, how do you like it if someone in america called you personal names? same concept with cambodia, i think. so, even cambodia should have libeling and slandering law, really. i think that was the issue in cambodia, not so much "free speech" as claim, it's more like personal attack, talk about unprofessionalism and unethical, unruly people, you see. there ought to be a line drawn somewhere on this. that's why i emphasize the rule of law is preferred in cambodia and should be encouraged and strengthened without so much taking side withour knowing the truth from both sides, really. that's all.
in cambodia case, so it is ok for unruly people to yell "fire" in a crowded theater or be unruly on the airplane? that's to me is extreme and intolerable, you see. where do we draw the line with this so-called "free speech" excuse? where is the responsibility in all of this? i think it's about using common sense, too, not lame excuses, etc, really.
