Progress in Cambodia?

The progress of Cambodia reconstruction is driven by illegal, and unethical practices. In part, with Hun Sun secretly backing his subordinates in illegal logging, illegal convictions, and massive corruption.
The truth of the matter is Cambodia is truly developing into the future. However, they sacrificed locals in achieving them. It's a sad fact of reality that the people are powerless when confronting the government. If any type of injustices that people would bring up about the government it will be seriously denied resulting in a number of massive killings to the people.

Everybody questions why investigation regarding deaths related to assassination of journalists or opposition members or even celebrities always lead to a void. A void where nobody will be able to find an answer. The reason why this void exists is because it involves a high ranking government official. And, any attempt to bring this official to justice would be death. For the Cambodian people, this is a scary thought. Their lack of education, and awareness will mute them from ever bringing any type of injustices from the government out to the open. Every Cambodian student in the USA must be educated to know the history of Cambodia so we can slowly bring Cambodia system to par with many other democratic nations.
