Most south east asian countries can't even help their own citizens for they are too busy pocketing the corruption government money. Cambodia is too busy threatening and intimidating its own citizens so the ruling party can stay in power. How can south east asian countries help the world when most of their government officials are so corrupted? Doesn't the secretary-general of the UN not aware of the facts?
Cambodia needs the UN body to help sending hun sen to meet saddam and his buddy kaddafi. Although hun sen doesn't like anyone comparing him to kadafi but I fear hun sen well leave power the same way as kadafi.
