I keep asking myself so often lately if I am really proud of Cambodia and why. And all the time I come up with a very short list of why and a longer list of why I am not. Here are the lists:
I am proud of Cambodia because:
- Our Ancestor built the magnificent Angkor Watt, which is recognized around the world as the wonderful monument. This Angkor means that our Ankorian ancestors were architects, artists, and engineers. And we have their DNA.
- We are now considered to be a democratic country even though it goes slow to the western standard. But what do we expect from our young democracy in a country that most of the intellectuals were killed during the Khmer Rouge period. At least we are better than Vietnam, Lao, and Burma. For sure the frame work and the foundation of the democracy are there to prosper.
