The problem has already started. The major concern is to minimize the damage to the political stability, which foreign investors used to make their decision whether to invest in the area or not. As we all know, Cambodia has come a very long way in this matter. Unfortunately, their political settlement has not been established clearly. They continue to show the world that they are still fighting each other for power. We are not blaming just any one party. It's the whole political establishment. That is the core of the democratic outcome. We know that people are strugling to establish a political process. It's very true that people need freedom for themselves as well as their future generation. Unfortunately, democracy always come with the price. Are the Cambodian people willing to pay anything for the democracy movement for better future? Let them decide. In this case, they have to look the effect it may come to their livelihood. Investors confidence is a key to bring them in invest in their country. We have seen the flux of small to midium businesses investing in Cambodia. Garment industries have brought millions and millions of dollars into the Cambodian economy. It translates into better living condition for many poor people all over the country. Are they risking those opportunities for democracy of uncertainty for their future? They have to decide.
