The main implementation is to look into the culture itself. If Cambodians really want to change the culture of corruption, they must change part of their own culture, which promotes corruption and impunity. These two elements are very vital to successful impementation of corruption. They can have all kind of laws against it. As long as the people are embracing it, corrupt will continue to fluorish in Cambodia. Impunity would be stronger in their community. My friend, I guess you are new here. Let me make it perfectly clear. It doesn't matter whether Cambodia goes to hell or heaven. I don't live there, nor I claim it to be my country. Cambodians would do awful alot before they can praise them. Today, they are still destroying their own country be fighting one another endlessly. > The law is a good first step (though I have not seen the draft). > Whether this will work or not, time will tell.

Remember! the laws in Cambodia are mostly apply to those who can't protect themselves. Many people including those in power and rich people can ignore those laws all together because affiliation and money mean everything. That's right corruption can buy everything. > It is regrettable for such a bright human being as you are to have > such a negative view about your own people.

Even their own people are criticizing each other. Look at Sam Rainsy. What has he been doing to his country? He thinks he is trying to make it better. Pehaps he is. Yet, he is dividing his own society at the same time. Don't tell me that he is a uniter. He is not. > There are those of us who work hard every day, learn every day, try to > improve thing to the best of our ability every day. > That's not enough. You can learn and try your heart of for everything. It won't mean anything because you are trying to make it better. Action speaks louder than words. Everyone knows that Cambodians need unity at this time to rebuild their own country more than they had anything. Unfortunatley, they are not. Actually, they blame one another for this and that because they want the power to practice corruption and impunity over no one but their own people. It's even worse yet when they go to other nations begging for help to destroy their own people of different factions in their own country. Norodom Sihanouk did it. Lon Nol did it. Khmer Rouge did it. Current government does it. What can you tell us about that? Are you telling the world that Cambodains are trying very hard to rebuild their own country?
