Dear Watt Keo, I agree with you that we should be more independent, so our people would be benefited as well, but things don't go that way easily, there are negatives effect as well, here's what I can see: - Cambodian don't have that capability to do such big project yet. - If it is to be contracted by Cambodian private construction company, curruption will occur for sure, the company have to bribe the government official ( Luy Teuk Te/Tea monies ) to bid for the job, the company who won the bid would cheat/cheap/poor materials ) that would lead to poor quality of the project. You can see some new roads/streets today started to damage already this due to poor quality of works/materials. - Here's the GOOD the BAD and the UGLY The GOOD is the bridge, the BAD is poor Khmers will inherit more debts and the UGLY is more corruptions would likely happen ( regardless of the new corruption law ). BTW: for those who is so exciting about the new corruption law. you need to slow down and think!

Where those Cambodian contructions? I bit the construction job take away Cambodia stability and ability of its own egoism. Cambodia gov. should assign special team of construction on future need, so the money and job can spread out to provide more jobs to its citizens.
