The Viets, although thieves, are very innovative and hardworking. For decades after the war, they kept all the American autos moving, without spares. Every single part was scavanged and canabilized,but this process can only last so long. Then they had to fabricate the parts out of nothing except whatever they had on hand to keep the cars, industry and the country moving. Th Cambodians, on the other hand, had everything handed to them. This was based on guilt - the Americans felt guilty about carpet bombing them, laying more mines than anywhere they had before. The Europeans, they shoulder more than their fair share of the world's guilt through centuries of colonial abuse. It helped that the late Prince Norodom Sihanouk was charming, and millions of innocent people were slaughtered, and so Cambodia became the favorite recipient of whatever aid there was available. I can't help but be unPC to say this is a beggar nation. Especially today. Singaporeans white collar crime hub? I am not too sure. It sure didn't start out like this. Everyone I know when I was young, in the early 60's, was hardworking, working hard for the family, then for self. The educated were pondering ideology in contrast to today's whose thoughts are focused on whether a Q5 or 7 will be appropriate for the status. Back then there were campaigns to 'Use Our Hands', courtesy campaigns, and other social campaigns that sought to make lives of ordinary Singaporeans more gracious. Then somehow, unnoticeably , the direction changed. Greed sets in, slowly but surely. Friends, even myself, started coveting branded stuff, Dunhill belts, Dupont lighters with the *ping*, Toyota Celicas... From there it shot up the hemisphere, Mercedez, the larger the numbers the better, residences with fancy suffixes like Garden, Estate, Manor... The government didn't do much to help either, in fact it fueled the race with their stance that a corruption-free government needs people who are immune to corruption, and that is by plying them with salaries to the point corruption is unnecessary From then onwards, the downward spiral began. The beginning of the evil empire. Lest I be accused of demonizing the govt, this was just part of the global trend of everyone for themselves. CEOs paying themselves astronomical salaries equating to half or more the companies' staff strength, bonuses equating to 10 or more times annual salaries. The great divide is getting wider. Communists seems to have the ideology right but not the practicality. Socialism is a compromise that seems to have fallen flat on its feet. We are left with capitalism, which even the communists, like China, today have embraced. Is Singapore embracing the fourth alternative? A hybrid of capitalist freedom and communist control? The thing is, the trend is irreversible. We can't go back to the 'good old days'. We can't be content earning $300 a month, even if the HDB apartment can be bought, sorry, leased for $7000 for a 3 bedroom flat; a plate of char kiew tiow $0.50; a liter of 95 octane gas $0.45/liter. I hate drinking too much. This is the result. I'm so going to hate myself in the morning.

Re: Khmer Diary
[QUOTE=Faidenk;8629833]Can't agree with you more.
..... Back then there were campaigns to 'Use Our Hands', courtesy campaigns, and other social campaigns that sought to make lives of ordinary Singaporeans more gracious. Then somehow, unnoticeably , the direction changed. Greed sets in, ...it sure sets in very deeply... it may be a well worn cliche but i do agree that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Power + time = interest group. Powerful fathers may not pass down their brains to their kids but they sure try to secure a life of abundance for them. So more resources will be allocated in the name of meritocracy...upward mobility is nothing more than a poster boy strategy to comfort the poor folks. why estate duty was abolished just shortly before the richest of the rich in sg died? oh, the minister said HK was 'going' to do it..so we should do it too...i suspect these people went to the same school as George W Bush. the duty from the Ng. Lee and Khoo could build more hospitals for a 6.9 mil population. ...rēs ipsa loquitur

Although I would describe part of the Vietnamese 'innovation and hardworking' as you have put it, to be more a 'cunning out of necessity of survival' instead. The nouveau riche in this country were overnight millionaires mostly due to real estate, which after reunification post 1975, were distributed by the State to party members and loyal comrades for a song. Since the country opened up (Doi Moi in the late 80s), these landowners then sold to Developers for a tidy sum. There is also an element of guilt here in Vietnam by the US - the use of Agent Orange, unwanted mix-race orphans, etc., and the way I see it, this angle has definitely been taken to advantage, whether intended or not.  Just look at the amount of ODA funding in this country.

Ah, corruption, the scourge of communism along with cronyism, insecurity and the absence of faith. The problem with the Cambodians is not corruption per se, their brand of corruption stems from the devastating civil war in which most of their intellects were wiped out, and the mindset that the madness can return any time and one must do anything to enrich oneself while the going is good. This explains their short-sightedness and tunnel vision. My good friend, however, has another theory. He attributes it to their habits of marriages amongst close relatives, bordering on incest. He said, look at the way the people drive here, fucking morons they are, their work attitude, their mindset, their lack of ambition, the way the Vietnamese army took only 3 days to overrun the country, only inbreeding could have cause the people to be so lackadaisical. Maybe I should really ought to give this theory a little more credence, having talked to a few locals who did not offer any concrete rebuttals. And so, it looks some drunken ramblings has opened a box of worms. I would like to discuss more but, lets keep this apolitical, after all, this is a sex-oriented forum. To change the subject, I must say my GF has finally become a woman, or so she insinuated today. She has taken the initiative of late, and I mean like 6 months ago. It didn't happened overnight, the process is gradual; like aquarium enthusiasts acclimatizing sea fishes to fresh water, replacing a cup of sea water with a cup of fresh, a cup a day. When I first got to know her, for the first 6 months it was always done in the dark, toweled after a shower, a quickie blowjob but I suspect she always kept a piece of tissue ready to sand her tongue. She was always shy barring all, and although she enjoys the painting, never would she utter a sound to express her ecstasy. I take my blessings any way I can. I did not push her nor applied any pressure, the way look at it, it's inevitable that she will change her ways, I can tell in the way she grasped my hair, the height she pushed her buttocks from the mattress, the urgency she urged my tempo. A year and more later, she's taken to fondling me through my shorts at any time of the day, anywhere around the house. She would insists I be sans of my underwear, claiming 'look ot kadal teh? You not hot? More often than not, she would come around to where I sit at my work desk, pull down my shorts and give it a sniff and, if I smell presentable (I always shower first thing in the morning and because of her habit, always spray my dick with the bum gun after a piss), would reward me with a BJ (but never to orgasm) there and then. I would continue doing whatever I was doing, answering emails, surfing SBF, or a game of Mahjong. She seems to enjoy giving me pleasure unless scientific studies can prove sensory nerves exist in the mouth. She claims swallowing my jizz helps reduce her appetite, and gives a better complexion. At the ripe age of 60, I hardly can complain of the attention this 28 year old is showering me. We have been doing it every alternate day although at times friskiness overtakes me and thus the pattern is disrupted. I find that 3 days' recuperation brings about a stronger orgasm and has recently changed the routine. However, after a fortnight, something in me snapped and we did it 2 days in a row, much to the enjoyment of all parties. Today, we had a quiet afternoon, just relaxing in bed, as usual with my dick clasped in her hand. I told her the changes I have seen in her. She said I have helped her see the error of her ways, and that sex can be and is enjoyable and totally nothing to be ashamed of. I smiled. Pavlov was right, after all.

To Build a Road (or: ‘An Irishman Walked into a Bar…’)
A piece of satire written by Casey Nelson. Great reading and not too far off the truth.
A Japanese company comes to Cambodia to build a road. They do a professional job, get it done almost on schedule, pick up most of the tab, employ local workers at decent wages, donate maintenance equipment and send an expert back periodically to follow up. While in town, the execs spend freely on karaoke, Johnny Walker Blue and young girls. The road is still in excellent condition more than a decade later. A Chinese company comes to Cambodia to build a road from the highway to some natural resource. They do a thin but serviceable job, get it done relatively quickly, clear cut miles of jungle on either side for the hardwoods, pay off officials, treat local workers like expendable slaves and dump broken equipment and old fuel oil in the river. While in town, the execs spend lots on karaoke, Johnny Walker Black and young girls. When the project is complete, they abandon dozens of Chinese workers in the country. High level government officials praise their fine work and strings-free generosity. The road disintegrates in 2 or 3 years. An American government-funded contractor comes to Cambodia to rebuild some road they blew up back in the 70s. First they build a massive walled compound for the American workers to live. They fly all new state of the art construction equipment in from America. They begin a series of regular airlifts to bring in all food, water and Budweiser from America. They set up a church group. The US embassy in conjunction with MTV Exit produces a list of approved bars, restaurants and sights that the American workers are allowed to visit. They send in an advance team of security and engineering experts to survey and secure the area. They announce start up of the project will depend on improvement in Cambodia’s human rights, anti-trafficking efforts and election reform. Cambodia promises. They begin work on the road using a combination of well paid American and local workers. They threaten to stop work and demand improvement in Cambodia’s human rights, anti-trafficking efforts and election reform. Cambodia promises. They continue working. They stop work while a congressional committee headed by Dana Rohrabacher debates whether Cambodia is living up to its human rights, anti-trafficking efforts and election reform promises. Nobody cares. They resume work. Somebody gets mugged in Phnom Penh. They stop work and evacuate all American workers to Guam. Six months later a security team is sent in. The team deems it safe enough. The American workers return to Cambodia to find all the supplies, machinery and even the newly laid road have disappeared. They fly in more supplies and equipment from America. They start work again. They finish the road – truly a first rate job, probably the best road in Cambodia. They adorn it with US flag emblazoned plaques and monuments. They hold a dedication ceremony attended by the US ambassador and the second assistant secretary of the local sangkat. The American contractors leave. A US government official announces that further aid will depend on Cambodia’s record on human rights, anti-trafficking efforts and election reform. Two months later the Cambodians set up toll booths, paint oknha names over the flags and the road is used to haul illegal timber and traffic sex slaves. A French company comes to Cambodia and doesn’t build a road. A Vietnamese company comes to Cambodia to build a road from the Vietnam border to some nearby Cambodian village. They use mostly Vietnamese labor, do a thin but serviceable job, and get it done on time. While in town, the execs spend a modest amount on karaoke, Johnny Walker Red and young girls. The project complete, all the Vietnamese workers stay in Cambodia and eventually send for their families to join them. A Russian company comes to Cambodia to build a road to a Russian financed pleasure palace development. On paper it costs 20 times more than any other road in Cambodia. They begin work. Work stops when the entire executive crew dies of alcohol poisoning. A year later a new group of executives arrives and work resumes. Work stops when two are arrested, one is shot, several disappear and the rest die of alcohol poisoning again. Two years later a new group of executives arrives and work resumes. Ultimately they build a good, serviceable road, using local labor at local wages. The pleasure palace is never completed, but (on paper) remains fully booked, year-round, at rack rates. A Thai company owned by a consortium of Thai generals comes to Cambodia to build a road. And in fact they build dozens of roads from the border deep into the jungle, and don’t tell anybody about it. A Malaysian furniture company comes to Cambodia to build a US$1,000,000 road if they can also build an entertainment complex. They build half an entertainment complex and put out the word that they are looking for investors. One year later construction on the road has not yet begun and the Cambodian government asks what’s going on. The Malaysians announce they are holding an Investors Gala Celebration with free flow of Angkor Beer. Tickets $35/pax. At the Gala they announce their intentions to build a US$10,000,000 road. They build half a hotel attached to the half-built entertainment complex. Two years later construction on the road has not yet begun and the Cambodian government asks what’s going on. The Malaysians announce they are holding a 5-star Grand Investors Gala Celebration with live Filipino band and free flow of Angkor Beer. Tickets $65/pax. At the Gala they announce their intentions to build a US$100,000,000 road. A Chinese restaurant is added to the half-hotel. Four years later construction on the road has not yet begun and the Cambodian government asks what’s going on. The Malaysians announce they are holding a Supreme 6-Star Investors Super Gala Celebration with live Filipino band, a grand drawing and free flow of Tiger Beer. Tickets $85/pax++. At the Gala they announce their intentions to build a US$1,000,000,000 road. Two years later construction on the road has not yet begun and the Cambodian government asks what’s going on. The Malaysians say “Road?” A Cambodian import-export company sets up to build a road using aid money donated by the EU. They retrieve the old Chinese equipment from the river, refurbish it using solder and bailing wire and filter the fuel oil from the water. They use the aid money to buy luxury cars and karaoke, Johnny Walker Blue and young girls. They gas up the old Chinese equipment with the recovered fuel oil and use it to flatten the ground into a basic but serviceable hardpack road. They call it “done.” The hardpack disintegrates the following rainy season. The Cambodians ask the EU for more aid to help rebuild the road. The EU sends money. A Cambodian import-export company sets to rebuild the road using the aid money. They retrieve the old Chinese equipment… (All companies and projects appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real companies or projects, living or dead, is purely coincidental.) Casey Nelson is a long-time expatriate who’s been based in Phnom Penh for over twenty years.
