Hun Sen: We differ from other countries [Israel started from scratch in 1948, Germany rose from the rubble of World War Two and Japan rose from the rubble of atomic bombs into one of the world's economic and military powers] លោក ហ៊ុន សែន ព្រមាន​មិន​ឲ្យ​យក​កម្ពុជា​ទៅ​ប្រៀបធៀប​នឹង​ប្រទេស​ដទៃ

The following is a history lesson for Mr. Hun Sen:  

1. Taiwan started from scratch in 1949 after Chiang Kai-shek escaped from Mao Zedong's troops and set up his government in exile in Taiwan. Now Taiwan is one of Asia's and world's economic power. 
2. Singapore started from scratch and became an island nation in 1965 and now it became one of Asia's economic powers and one of the world's financial markets.  
3. Israel was created from scratch in 1948 and 19 years later in 1967 it defeated 4 Arab nations, Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Palestine in the Six Day War.  
4. Japan rose from the rubble of atomic bombs and Germany rose from the rubble of World War II and became economic powers in less than 20 years.

The above countries took less than 20 years to be economically, financially, politically and judicially successful.

But Hun Sen has been in powers for 34 years and Cambodia is still very poor and we can't even compare Hun Sen's rule to Laos and Vietnam? - Khmerization
Give our kids a better deal
Prime Minister Hun Sen
 
PHNOM PENH (The Cambodia Herald) -- Prime Minister Hun Sen says Cambodia should not be compared to other neighboring countries.

"It's impossible to compare Cambodia to Vietnam, Laos or Thailand. They have never witnessed a regime like the Khmer Rouge," he said. "You can't even compare one family to another."

A foreign reporter asked him about his amendment in 1988, and whether he would follow the same model communist leaders in Cuba and the Soviet Union had set.

"I would make a hat to serve my head but not cut my head to serve the hat," he said. "I differ from that of the Soviet Union. I started from nothing and bettered my country's situation."

He compared Cambodia’s opposition members to NATO as "No Action Talk Only".

Hun Sen spoke on Sunday at the Chaktomuk Theater celebrating the 15th anniversary of National Culture Day.

In Israel, in Germany, in Japan or in Korea... there were no killings of people who happened to wear glasses or had some education during the war. But Cambodia under KR alone experienced this tragedy. Please do not lessen KR crime in destroying the country, especially the human resources! Cambodia economic development is not just Hun Sen job alone! All Khmers in Cambodia and the diaspora are all responsible for the country progress. Beside how much money Israel, Japan, South Korea or Taiwan got annually from the US after WWII and how much rich Jewish communities outside Israel contributed to their country intellectually and economically? Please do not think that Khmers are not good because we are not as brilliant as Jews, or Japanese or Americans or Germans? I should ask myself what I did I do to help my country so far?

How many Einstein left after Pol Pot? What we know is that CMAC is still working to get rid of war remnant. And a lot of Cambodians still want to go to America or have better life in France.

Actually the sound of the guns in Cambodia was slowly silencing only after 1998, though the skirmishes with Thailand over Preah Vihear temple kept go on for some time after that. Certainly we still have a lot of catch-up to do with ours neighbors. Cambodians need to be united in this task. Everyone should be allowed to participate for the benefits of our homeland.

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

The progress and the betterment of Cambodia and Cambodians cannot be achieved, because we do NOT
control our own destiny.

Until and unless, we, Khmers are successful in
DEVIETNAMIZING Cambodia, existing and additional problems still hunt us forever.

We must destroy the EXPANSIONIST'S apparatus !!!

Dear Brother or sister,

The big problem of economy deadlock of Cambodia is due to the bad image of our Cambodian leaders and especially our routine corruption behaviors.

I used to think like some of you guys that Pol Pot regimes killed all or destroyed our Human Resources. It's true in some points. However, as a neutral person, I don't think that Pol Pot Regime is the only cause of our slow economy development.

Besides Pol Pot Regime, there are many things that block Cambodia to move forward:

1. Cambodia leader is or was a communist leader and his image was not good. Foreigners look down on Cambodians. It started from our leaders and down to the lower levels.

2. Cambodian economy have economic deadlock. We cannot export our to the neighboring countries because those of the neighboring countries are the exporting countries. Our products cannot compete with the neighboring countries because most of the direct/indirect materials are imported from the neighboring countries. More importantly, the corruptions are still existing everywhere. We cannot reduce the gasoline price. Therefor, we need to sell at higher price than the neighbors.

3. Cambodian people are raised differently from people in the neighboring countries. Most Cambodian people studied Business, Management, Finance, Economy, and Law. In the neighboring countries, people studied engineering, manufacturing, electronic, computer sciences, medicine, nurse and social development so on.

4. Most Cambodians in overseas who are high educated have never wanted to return to Cambodia. They don't trust the stability of Cambodian economy and low paid-jobs.

5. Most graduate students who got scholarship in overseas tried to look for Cambodian/American people to marry in order to stay there. Most people who cannot find a high paid jobs in the US/AUS/Canada or people cannot find someone to marry will return to Cambodia.

6. We choose the wrong superpower. China is the most exporting country in the world. China exported not only industrial materials, but also agricultural materials. Therefore, China can only help to accept some of our export products. However, if we choose the US or our developed countries whose their strong economy based on high technology and industry, the big industrial country, we will have more chance to export our product and attract billionaire investors to Cambodia.

Overall, to stabalize our country, both economy and politics, we should change the leader ( we can choose another leader whose image are good in the public from any current government or opposing party). Especially, we should eliminate corruptions which are the root of all problems of Cambodian development.

Even though we probably cannot change our democratic-communist regime, I am happy to see The P.M. Hun Sen resign and let his educated son or others to be our leader. At least, we can reduce the bad image. Optimistically, we can reduce more corruptions.

The issue of avoiding the comparation between Cambodia to her neighbors was nothing news, since 1945, Cambodia has been always 15 years behind Thailand in term of infrastructure development- 8 years behind South Vietnam and 20yrs in term of military might (US pour billions of dollars to build SVNA army, 4th strong army in the world in 1968-1975, peak at 1971). Equally to Laos in 1970, now 3 years behind Laos in term of Gross Domestic Capita Income.

Now Cambodia has been further 20 year behind VN economic and 35 behind Thailand, not to mention military might.

Cambodia has been always behind regardless now or/and th past...And never will catch up but can get a close gap.

Even Hun Sen compare his Cambodia with Pol Pot's , his is worse than Pol Pot's :
these two monsters was & is Khmers killers more or less but Pol Pot had kept &
protected Cambodia territorial integrity , natural resources .
Khmers did not inherit debt from Pol Pot . Hun Sen has start from zero to 10 billion $
debt , from big Cambodia to a smaller one . Only his family's and his cronies' wealth
have been progressed .

Hun Sen has put Cambodia not only in $10 billion in debt, but also accumilated interested from not paying back the interest.

Hun Sen has paided $0. in repayment, not only that he and his family have been using the international loans to build schools, university, roads, temples and naming them after his family name. Only for them to be wasted, incompleted and desserted with poor quality control and low paid staff.

Anyone that works under Hun Sen only survived by cheating others, as Hun Sen himself cheats the International country by begging like a street beggar.

Cambodia can only survived if everyone of the Hun Sen clan is dragged through the street of Phnom Penh, tied to the back of the water buffalos.

Cambodia needs a change.

Part I,

I would like to thank 1:22am for engaging in a sensible debate regarding the merit, or the lack of it, of Mr. Hun Sen’s rule in comparison to other regimes around the world.
I would now like to respond to a few points raised by you.
Israel, Germany, Japan or Korea have excelled in all fields in less than 20 years after emerging from the destruction of wars not because there were no killings of their people, but because these countries have leaders who were smart and patriotic and who loved their countries to death. Can we say the same about the leaders of Cambodia today?
In fact, 6 million Jews were murdered by Hitler’s Nazi regime during World War II and Israel was created from scratch by the survivors of the holocaust. The rest of the survivors, who chose not to return to Israel, were scattered around the world.
In Germany, more than a million Germans were killed during the bombings and invasion of the Allied forces at the dying days of World War II. In Japan no less than 500,000 Japanese died during World War II and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
In Korea, no less than a million were killed or died during the Korean War that ended in 1953. In China, no less than 20 million Chinese were killed during the Chinese revolution and the fighting between Mao Zedong’s and Chiang Kai-shek’s forces that ended in 1949, and the destruction of infrastructure was immeasurable, yet China has emerged as a third super-power after America and the Soviet Union in less than 20 years. Now, China is the world’s second biggest economy and will overtake America as the number spot in less than 15 years time.
As far as the history goes, not much money was pumped into Japan or Israel, South Korea or Taiwan. In fact, because Japan and Germany were the losers of World War II, therefore there were demands for war reparations to the victors.

Part II,
In Europe, there was the Marshall Plan, in which a substantial sum of money was pumped in, but at the end of the day it was the leaders of those countries who had made their countries prosperous and politically stable.
What about Cambodia? Cambodia was at the mercy of the international community in 1991 when the UN sent 20,000 troops and administrators and more than 2 billion dollars to help revive the peace process and, ultimately, the economy of Cambodia. After the UN left in 1993, around $1.5 billion dollars from the donor countries was pumped in every year to help revive the infrastructure, the economy, the democratic process, the judiciary and healthcare, but 20 years on Cambodia is still pretty poor and the population still suffered human rights abuses and the democratic process is going backward instead of going forward.
I do not believe that the reason Cambodia is a poor country today is because we Khmers are not “brilliant” as the Jews, the Japanese, the Germans or the Americans. On the contrary, we have Angkor Wat and the Khmer Empire to prove to the world that we are smart and brilliant. The fact that we are poor today is because we always have leaders who are not brilliant or who are selfish, and Mr. Hun Sen is one of many examples.
You have raised the point that the rich and educated Jews around the world have returned and helped revitalise Israel’s economy and its reconstruction. Can we say the same with the Cambodian Diaspora? The answer is no because Hun Sen did not welcome them.
There are estimated 1.7 million Cambodians living in the West and millions more are working in neighbouring and sympathetic countries. The Cambodians in the West have sent approximately $500 million dollars per year to help resuscitate the Cambodian economy. The Cambodian overseas workers would have sent millions also.
I am in total support of you when you said “Cambodia[‘s] economic development is not just Hun Sen’s job alone”. I would like Mr. Hun Sen to think the same as you and allowed all educated Khmers to contribute without fearing of retributions, harassment or imprisonment. But the fact is he wanted to hold leadership and political monopoly.
In fact, many educated Khmers, some even with Ph.Ds, have returned to help Cambodia, but they were either harassed, chased back to the West or were jailed because they have tried to right his wrongs. If only Hun Sen accepted them or allowed them to utilise their skills to their full potential without fears and intimidation like in their adopted countries, their contributions would have helped Cambodia significantly and made a huge difference to the Khmer society. Today, Cambodia is run by the remnants of the Khmer Rouge leaders who did not even finish primary school and some of them cannot even read or write. One wonders why Cambodia is not going forward.
It is regrettable that Mr. Hun Sen always likes to compare his regime to the Khmer Rouge regime, which was the worst regime in the world. In this sense, Mr. Hun Sen is trying to tell the world that his regime is the second worst regime in the world, that is to say it is the best of the worst.

My dad' friend who is a doctor. He died in Cambodia because of Heart attack and excessive high blood pressure without hx of any heart disease. The reason behind was that he was struggling with corruption in Cambodia and tried to not corrupt like them. In the end, he died.
