[…] Electing new government will be held on July 27, 2008 throughout Cambodia. Most of people are waiting for that day in order to participate in voting for their new leader who they expect that s/he will develop country, improve people’s living standards, eliminating corruption and so on. On the side of political parties, they have been conducting campaign to find supporters as well. The previous post I wrote was “Politics is game for politician.” […]

There’s nothing to do with ” Politic Term” but those high ranking people themself who are being crazy and out of control when it comes to money and position. Any country would need Politician in order to survive and make the country step forward. If Cambodia had a good rule and good leaders, no one would be died by politic.

Overall, I can see no one is better than another among those three big parties.

In the fact that, country needs leaders, group or team needs team leader, family needs family leader, and so on. What is important is that we need the good leaders to develop country , group, team and family. No need leaders to destroy country and use their people for their power, self-interest, nepotism and so on. why i raised this topic to be made discussion because i met and saw all of this situation happening in our current society.

Because of low education, illiteracy and lack of information access, therefore people are falling into the trap of politics. And politicians are easier to take a chance in order to take advantage from people. Finally, people become the victim and the politicians do not protect them.

I do not criticize any political parties but i just want Cambodian people to take deeply consideration into political issue. And they should not follow politics until forgetting their family, conflicting between Khmer and Khmer. They should stay away from politics issue but they still have full rights to select their own leaders through fair and just vote.

Every country need a government to run it, political party that was elected became the government for a period of times. The government is no different from another big giant company that administrate all the country business. Therefore, The Politic is hard game to play; the more you play the better you can be. Morally, the government politic should do in the best interest of therefore the public, their party not for individual. There are rocky business and smooth business; unfortunately we have seen more the rocky and risky business that our government play so far. Have we chosen the right government to run the business? If No, who would be better? Not sure

The “not sure” answer derive from the people do not understand or don’t have much knowledge of the country political issues. Advice people to distance themselves from the politic would not result all the political issue that we are facing, get people involved in the game, make them award of what happening in the game, so they can play better or

I do not agree with your opinion although there is no right and wrong, black and white answer here, after all we are living in the grey world, be part of it and get yourself (not you personally) familiar with all the situation and have fun with it.

This is life living in the colourful world. So guys get ready to adjust, not just to survive but to be better off….. Good topic for sharing Vutha, well done!!!

Vutha;
It is indeed an intersting article/subject.

My principle about politic Vs people is quite simple.

a] Understanding politic is healthy in term of well-preparing us for any effects [whether or not have a serious impact[s] to our daily life and standar] might be brought upon due to the decision making of a politician and/or legislation change[s].

b] Playing politic [if one is not sure what politic are all about] is a risky business one shall not commit due to the fact that politic areana is and will always changed [subject to climat and environment where one is living].

c] Being in politic is subject to public scrutinize - people who elect and empower a pesron to the post will naturally also be critic of that particular person who they elected and empowered.

I consider writing an article [if time permit] about politic Vs people [stress on the Khmer Abroad points of view and actions].

Vutha, You have done a brilliant job.

I agree with you, Borin. now, they are trying to make people confident in their parties in order to cast a vote for their parties by promising to deliver people good services such as development, reduction of corruption, improvement of people;s living standard and so on. these will be forgotten after being elected.

Why my spelling so clumsy? Here’s what I wanted to say:

To me politic is more business than game. To me, right now, it is the business of making promise you can’t deliver.

Now is the season of making non realistic promises, and after election it will be the season not delivering the promises.

It’s more like a business than a game. To me, right now, politic is the game of making promise that you can’t deliver.

Not it’s season of making promise. After election is the business of not delivering.
