The land of contradictions. Criminals killers still roaming free with impunity, ruling elites engage in full-time corruption, gross human rights abuses, and trashing the country bare; and none is brought to account.
And also don't forget: criticism and contant verbal abuse are only the previlege of the CPP's Hun Sen. Anyone else who comes near his domain will be accounted for. The land of millions of contractions: of the blind, the deaf, the dumb, the greedy, the hungry, the paupers, the cripples, the land robbers, the puppets, and in this land the one-eyed king rules supreme. Enjoy some more Khmer people. The road to be taken: you are moving in right direction right now. What else do you want ?
