Are you afraid of threat warning?
That is the question that a journalism student asked me when she chatted with me nearly two hours about Cambodia’s traffic law, especially relating to the road accidents, bribery, corruption and extortion which are committed by traffic police. During the last year, I have liked to write my blog posts related to traffic policemen who is taking money from passengers and transport trucks on the public roads and also committed indecent acts on drivers.
It is because that I talked more about corruption, bribery and extortion. Therefore, she asked me if I am afraid of writing articles about these issues. To this question, I am really afraid of writing it or getting warning from unidentified person but what I wrote about is the true things happening in the current society. I cannot shut up my mouth. I just want to share the real issues to all of you and other readers over the world.
And then she told me that one of Cambodian blogger – Cheak Sopheap – was warned by unknown person through texting message. Oh yes, I really heard of this issue. As you know, Sopheap likes writing about corruption issues, human rights, land grabbing and so.
The truth is the truth. We cannot hide it forever. In general, those who criticize the government are always getting life threat from unidentified people, especially human rights workers and politicians. How do you think about? Are you afraid of writing about bribery, corruption and land grabbing? Blog created is a good tool for sharing my own thoughts and opinions with all of you.
