“Help each other, be sympathetic with each other, that’s first for society to be comfortable and stable. And if we talk about state governance, that can relieve much of the people’s suffering.”
Sok Khemara hosts Hello VOA on 03 November 2011:
Cambodia’s history shows that a lack of freedoms and equal rights have led to unrest in the past, a pattern that could repeat itself, a leading political analyst said Thursday, adding that Cambodia today is lacking in morals, making it harder for the country to develop.
“There is a gap between rights, or equity, stipulated in the constitution and the implementation,” said Lao Monghay, an independent analyst and monthly contributor to “Hello VOA.” “Practical application is impossible, one can’t exercise one’s rights, and there is abuse of power.”
“What appears is resistance, and that causes everyone’s destruction,” he said.

Monks from a Buddhist foundation have begun moving through primary schools in Phnom Penh, seeking to teach greater morality in what they see as a culture in decline.
The monks—from the Foundation of Education, Culture, Peace and Non-Violence—teach children the five precepts of Buddhist morality: do not kill living things, do not steal, do not lie, avoid sexual misconduct, "refrain from intoxicants which lead to heedlessness."
The precepts are to be followed by laymen and taught by monks, part of the "Three Gems" of Buddhism.
Monks told VOA Khmer they had seen a decline in Cambodian morals and were seeking to bring them back through schoolchildren.
