Mike: In high praise of the Hun Sen government

By Mike

The Gov't did the right things. They used to send all Gov't officials back to school, but now they have replaced them, because the government has been using the same energy and the same efforts to patch up all leaking boats. Now, the Gov't is much smarter. They have put new boats, less headache, and more productive for the long run. A loser is still a loser. Any one who ignited people power while the Thais are building a new war room will not produce a good result for you. Stop the politics of greed, stop the politics of ambition and use democratic ways to win through fair elections. If Khmers are already united, stay with that, unless Hun Sen is gone like Pol Pot. If all of us truly love Khmers, we must be responsible to the outcomes of our actions. To create chaos in our country is not a good idea. We all see a lot of developments and a better future now. Please let the Khmer government be stable long enough and strong enough to deal with the Yuon (Vietnamese) or the Siamese (Thais) in another time. The time that is most dangerous that the Yuon or the Siamese could swallow Cambodia is not now. Between 1960 to 1998, we Khmers were so weak. Now we are very much okay, so please don't allow ourselves to be trapped into another military strategy of our enemies. Our enemies have always created superior opportunities to achieve victories by weakening our Khmer race.

In 1998 the result of people power cost Indonesia to lose East Timor. In the Soviet Union, they lost Poland, Azerbaijan, Hungary, Yugoslavia and East Germany. In China, they lost Manchuria to Japan just before World War II, and lost the whole of China to England before then. In Cambodia, people power provoked demonstrations every month from the 1960s so we lost to Pol Pot. Do we want any of these? And who is your strongest leader that may drive Yuon or Siam out?

I never worked for the Cambodian People's Party. I do not have any positions in the Gov't. I am just a business man.

As we can see, waves of hundreds of demonstrations from 1998 t0 2004 killed a lot of businesses, my business was significantly damaged and I ended up moving to live in the USA for better opportunities. Now as you see, some media started to spread dirty people's power to topple the Gov't. Many life will die and all businesses will suffer at least for 5 years. I am making a living up to the fullest now. I don't need to struggle or use any patriotic tactics to earn a living. I am only hungry to make more money, not to be in politics.

Dear Mike,

It sounds like making more money will definitely making you happy so that you can step on Poor Khmers. Did you ever donate or say nice thing about others in you life? People like you look down on the poor......

Money does not buy happiness and it's not everything in life. Helping others giving me more joy that making a few more dollars.

I'm Khmer, living about 8500 miles away, however, on a monthly basis I donate money to the orphanage in Siem Reap and I also sponsored a child in Cambodia.

Thanks

Mike, this is one positive comment from you. I hope you will stop launching a personal attack on Sam Rainsy and instead criticizing his politics and policy. In the past few weeks, I only see you repeatedly got personal with Mr. Rainsy. So, this is one more positive contribution. If you keep it this way, people will take you seriously and begin to listen to you.

To Khmer Angkorian."It is the duty of the strong to protect the weak, and it is also the duty of the rich to protect the poor." While it's true that money is not the source of happiness neither it is a solution to every ills of man but why being negative about those who wants to contribute? Being rich is not about trampling over someone who is poor; it's about trying to raise the standard of living of the Khmers in general. There is a saying in Khmers: "tweor srae gneuong teok tweor seok gneuong baey". A country can only be strong through a robust economy; if Cambodia is full of poor Khmers without those of the likes of Mike, then it is in definite trouble. As long as a person can make a business through an honest means, then there is nothing wrong with it.

all your comments are most valuable to me, I thought mr, rainsy he will brook the breaking piont to victory, it would free us and start capitalise market economy in 1998. I spent alote of money on transportation, on tens to set up the stage and food, also many packs donated to the vilagers durring election copaigne in 1998 and 2003. I used to told Mr. Rainsy if we bang our heads two times it never brooke the wall why don't we jiont gov't, that way we will derictly and closely working and changing them. but mr, rainsy he insist and said only SRP gove'(sam became priminister)that will works.
to khmeriztion your advice are appreciated, its true, he Sam alone can't do anythings but his political plateform are indeed the outlete that spreaded and mianly impplyed by many people. thank one again. Mike

Mike, many good points of yours such as:
-Please let the Khmer government be stable long enough and strong enough to deal with the Yuon (Vietnamese) or the Siamese (Thais) in another time.

-And who is your strongest leader that may drive Yuon or Siam out?

I am not a fan of CPP either, the current leaders are not of the caliber a men I wish to entrust the destiny of Khmer in general. But reality dictates everything
for us. Do we want insecurity or need peace first to strengthen our nation . Who has the ability to protect Khmer best interest. Does Sam Rainsy or KI team represent the majority of Khmer populace will? Or are they the Khmer elite used to be but now forced to rear behind the CPP? Some of them are plain anti monarchy and who still dream of becoming Khmer president some day.
The mistake of Khmer Republican who rely on unreliable strategic partner has never been learn and they still claim
they are the most learn and advanced minded Khmer.
So now I'm realized that we Khmer should unite first
to build our country.The opposition parties are of course indispensable for every democratic countries so I am encourage them to grow but not to divide our country at this time. And to the ruling party I advice you to be patient, do not resort to any violence,have decency on all policies you make etc and you have enough advisers by now.
Unlike you Mike who still hungry to make more money!(nothing wrong if you pay tax and above board), I'm a retired old Khmer just want to see Khmer nation prospers in peace until one day all humans on earth realized that they are in fact brothers and sisters in Humanity and starts acting accordingly.

Cambodia is designed by Hanoi. It will be too late,if you allowed all those puppets to run our beloved motherland.
-Hundred-thousand hectares of borderland are being allowed by Hanoi's installed government called CPP to encroach deep into Cambodia land.Some area of the Viet and Khmer border,Cambodia lost up to 800-1500 metres deep into Cambodia side.CPP DO NOT ALLOWED ANY INDEPENDENT OBSERVER TO MONITOR THIS DEMARCATION,why?
There are 5-6 millions Viet have moved in Cambodia and they will have right to vote to change Khmer politics. Our children will become refugees in the next 10 years,just like our brothers and sisters in Kampuchea Krom are facing now.

Do you see how may poor Khmer are facing right now.They become slaves in Thailand and some are being slaughtered by Thai troops.Do any CPP government care for all of their suffering?
Do you know that Hanoi men are everywhere in CPP? Tea Banh was Vietcong is now running Cambodia's
Armed-forces.
Why did Hanoi chosed Hun Sen and Heng Samrin as their puppets,simply because they are pure ignorant.They did not even know what UN is for.
I think we are deep in Hanoi's designed mechnism,we must fight to free our race,rich culture and our beloved people and country.

Hello,

You wrote me on 16 January 2011 2:48 PM, speak for yourself, whoever you're.

How many riches Khmers in Cambodia making money honestly or in an honest way, you think. Most likely, none. they either corrupt bastard or have connecting with CPP. And they do trample on the poor Khmers. I seen it with my own eyes. My father-in-law is once of them, he worked for Hun Sen.

Mike, appearently you have so much criticism for Sam Rainsy and other Khmer who criticized Hun Sen and Hanoi. I suppose you think Hun Sen and Hanoi are doing a very fine job for Cambodia? Anyone who think highly of Hun Sen and Hanoi are the servant and benefactor of their cause. If it hadn't been Khmer, like myself beating the drum of critism of the CPP government, Hanoi would have already fullfilled its agenda of adding Cambodia to its collection of conquered territory. Cambodia must not stop the crying out of political foulplay by Hun Sen and his external influential government. Mike, I don't suppose your suggestion to Khmer is to behave as, "see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil". I hope that is not your ways of accomplish goals in your life. This should not be the path for Khmer to take, if they wanted to succeed in driving out Youn parasite out of Cambodia.

To Khmer Angkorian: In Australia, I had observed the differences between Khmers, Vietnamese, Chinese, Koreans, and many other different races. This fact remained quite apparent with me: most of the restaurants, takeaway, bread shops, building supplies, taxi cabs drivers, and a whole hosts of businesses are operated by Vietnamese, Chinese, Koreans, Thais or others; not by Khmers. Khmers were most time are joining the unemployment ques, factory workers and labourers if they are lucky. The same opportunities exists, why is it that we are coming out second best? Perhaps we are spending too much time complaining about our lots in life rather than doing something about it. We're are good and criticizing, whining, moaning and hating others and biting each others head off, yet when it comes to doing something productive, we are coming out second best. So stop you negative criticism and start being positive for once.

7:33AM & 7:46AM (maybe the same guy). I don't think comment being made by Khmer in this forum has anything to do with the psychology of success in business. Your point is irrelevene. Your points is totally seperate part of Cambodia political debate. You're in totally difference subject matter. I don't see the discussion of Cambodian politic has any relation to the psychology of success in business by Khmer. Just because some Khmer care about their country and criticizing Hun Sen for for allowing Hanoi to take advantage of Cambodia, doesn't necessaritly means that those Khmer are just good at complaining but not good at taking action to be successful in life. Where is the logic in that? The way I see it, this is just a quick hit and run comment to evade the true nature of this political discussion.

Chinese, Korean, Japanese, or Vietnamese or whoever psychology of success is difference than other part of asia. Obviously you're being prejudice. Call me whatever, but Asian in that part of the region compare and judge themselves and other Asian base on material success. This is not apply to all, but if someone is being successful by cheat, lie, steal, rob, or kill someone or some nation, then that someone or some nation would be characterize as a thief. Of course, a theif always rich and successful. To be a begger or to be a poor man, is more honorable than a theif. That is if honor mean anything.

To Khmer Angkorian: You find me one Empire in the whole human history that is not closely linked with economic than I will tell you that my discussion will have nothing to do with politics. Politics is driven by economics. The strength of a nation does not only rely upon military alone, but it depends very much on the economy. And the economy is closely linked to the productivity and resourcefulness of its people, sir. How will a nation wage war with its neighbor? Using sling shots? or through tanks and modern amour such as F-15, B52 bombers, or nuclear weapons? These sir are economic power; not just military.
These things are achieved through taxation processes created by means of those who generated businesses. So businesses in general are the driving force of the wars and conquests throughout history. So yes, my point to you is totally relevant. Vietnam and Thailand are stronger than Cambodia, that because their economy is stronger and also their population are more resourceful. This has nothing to do with being honorable or not honorable.

Khmer empire was succeeful in building vast of Irrigation sytem and sea port in O Keo, This O Keo port was the main source of international trad, infact our empire was build by strong economice first.
In Japan, in oder to prevent from Chines attack, The Japan phylosophy was to build strong econimice first, by learning 100 percent from The west. and if the economy strong eventualy the ar my are strong, in 1856 King of japan IKIYE build 5600 school make sure 100 percent kide got proper education. Japan send young top talneted people to abroads and learn from the west, eventauly japan army tooke over Manchuria from the migthy strongest army power on earth China. and take over Korea, for 63 years.
Yes sir I support your idea 100 percent on that economice isue. Regards. Mike

Uncle Ho Chi Minh Said,

Whaaaaaaaaaat? Hey, stupid Vietnamese Mike, according to your level of knowledge, you think Cambodia is this weak country trying to pick a fight with Thailand or Vietnam? What the hell are you thinking in that little brain of your. Just because Khmer criticizing the current Cambodian government for neglecting to protect Cambodia, that doesn't mean they are drumming up for war. What the hell is matter with you? Talking about war, if Thailand or Vietnam want to attack Cambodia, by all mean, please do so. As far as Vietnam,don't expect it to be as easy as 1979. Instead of 60,000 Vietnamese dead bodies, there might be more. As far as Thailand, don't bet on their F-16 to bomb their way to victory. Stupid Vietnamese Mike, don't you ever wonder that attacking Cambodia could also open up an opportuntiy for Cambodia to take back what has stolen from them, does Kampuchea Krom means anything to you. Stupid Vietnamese Mike, don't you ever forget that Khmer is forgetting our brothers in Kampuchea Krom. Stop making yourself looking like an ass. I hope not every Vietnamese are as stupid as you, stupid Vietnamese Mike.

uncle hochimin you are a cruelt man, I did not see you in love with Khmer at all, you are more to veit or thai than khmer. Bunch of people like you will never acheived anything in life.

Anonymous said...

Uncle Hochimin is behaving more and more like his counter part Pol Pot. His ideology is quite radicalized and a blind extremist. He is poisoned by his own anger and hate while at the same time is short sighted. He want to sacrifice a whole nation and enslave others as that murderer did when he plunged the Khmer nation into chaos for five years and brought Khmers to it's knees, when more than two millions Khmers had lost their lives because of his stupid ideology. By posting your name under "Uncle Hochimin" you are identifying yourself more as a hot headed Viet than a Khmer. He wants to rid the Viets from the Khmer society by murdering and starving his own kinds by reducing the general population to beggars. His struggles to rid the Vietnamese from Khmer society only wind up resulting with the Viets controlling the Khmer society until today. Stop basing your decisions on your emotions, and learn from past mistakes of those who's been there and done that.

Uncle Ho Chi Minh said to Mike,

Mike is behaving like his counterpart, the Viet Cong. His ideology is quite radical and extreme, especially toward Cambodia. He is poisoned by his anger for Sam Rainsy and contribute a lot of hateful message for those that criticize Hun Sen and Hanoi. Mike benefit from Hun Sen and Hanio. Mike wants Hun Sen and Youn to keep controlling Cambodia and enslave Khmer until Cambodia is no more.

By posting his ideological nonsense articles, Mike accomplish nothing in the name of Hanoi propaganda. Actually, he's make a stupid of himself because what he says don't make much sense. When there is Youn like Mike, that would be very dangerous to himself and the image of his nation, Vietnam. By posting your name as Mike, you are identify yourself as idiot. You are one hot headed Viet Cong that lacks common sense and logic. If given an opportunity, Mike is like Uncle Ho Chi Minh. These two are the type of Youn who want to get rid of Cambodia by murdering Khmer through their mastery of cheat, lies, and deception. Mike would love to reduce the general Khmer population to become like Youn as thieves and coward dogs. His struggle to get rid of Khmer who are outspoken against Youn Hanoi is unfruitful. He is only facing ridicule because his stupidity override his low level of education. Mike is very paranoid about Khmer being free from the grip of Youn. His propaganda is losing momentum every sentence he wrote. His comment always make no sense. His insulting of Sam Rainsy only works against himself. Mike, stop judging Khmer who are fighting Youn. They are doing a very good job. They should keep up the pace. Mike, your opinion is base on your lonely lifeless emotion. You are empty inside your soul. You need to rediscover yourself by finding the true meaning for your cause. You can join me to fight Youn to free Khmer. You need to learn from the mistake of your Vietnamese history. You didn't learn from the lesson of the destructive Vietnam war which killed much more Youn than Cambodia's Killing Field. Of course, you don't think so because you are fool by fooling yourself. Mike, learn from your past mistake and teach your children to not become like you. You have been there and done that but didn't learn shit. Regard, Uncle Ho Chi Minh.

Excuse me Uncle Ho, I think you are barking at the wrong tree. Mike is in the USA, I'm in Australia. I was the one making those comments you mentioned; not Mike. But as a Cambodian, I certainly I'm not taking your side, I think you are an extremist and one who is lacking proper judgments.It is through people like you that caused me to lose both my parents and my relatives. Stop preaching your stupid ideology to us Khmers, you don't know crap about what being patriotic is all about.

Say whatever you want to say Uncle Ho, or should I call you Khmer Angkorian? As far as this debate is concerned; I refuse to join and extremist lunatic like you. Oh, don't level your anger at Mike, I'm from down under. He has nothing to do with it, but I think he has a lot more logic than you.

Yes you try all your best to get rid of youn so do I, but if we don't see the clear blue print to victory, we are like a prey will get shote at the first step we move on. did you clearly see how dangerouse it is? now didn't you?.
