I am praying that we will not using this small amount of weapons to slaughter each other among our Cambodian people. Let put them to a good use for our country.
These weapons are good for national and border defense at a time when Cambodia has a dispute border with Thailand. I hope they would not be used to kill Khmers like in the 1997 coup.
