silenfores, It is strange that the oppositions, whose jobs are to criticize the ruling party, are really defensive over my critiques. It appears that they cannot take criticism very well. I take it that the majority of them are hardcore followers and don't have their mind open to criticisms. One can only imagine what their attitude will be if they have a chance to become the ruling party. When I campaigned in last year's general election, one of the objection to change was them being skeptical over the new leadership of the new party. They had said, " the politicians are the same." Others were enthusiastic about our messages, but they were not sure the promises could be carried out. One comment was kind of stuck in my mind was the question related to my ex-party. They had asked many times if it was funded by Premier Hun Sen as such information was broadcast daily on the radio. If it was, then why the change? The majority of Cambodians are afraid to change. I don't think any opposition party can manage to run Cambodia by itself without full cooperation from the CPP. The current leadership of all opposition parties must be better (in all aspects) than the leadership of the CPP in order for the people to feel comfortable to change. Otherwise, the CPP will run the country forever. ============ In a message dated 7/6/2009 8:30:12 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Tim, “Many career politicians take advantage over your silence and abuse your trust, patriotism and nationalism.” You are somewhat right on the one above. Many Khmers follow their leaders blindly without a question ask. They suddenly become followers because there is a leader available. A leadership without a transparent quality is ought to be avoided. Are they looking for a leadership who is going to bring a better life for the people or are they look for a leader who are polite and have nice smile in public? The Khmers still have a frame of references that polite and nice smile are the way to go. Khmer leaders learned this trick and are good putting that role. Apart from such a role, they are completely useless. You have many criticisms from people. Those people tend to support a party, simply because they dislike the current ruling leader. Although he is bad, still there is one else is better than him, for now. I have heard this man has done some good deeds comparing to the oppositions who are only interested in talking.
