What Discussion Forum?
It's been quite a hard time finding a good active discussion forum to kill some time and shout out some words. A few forums i found on net are just too messy and inactive.
Anyone knows of any good discussion board about anything from social to politics... but not personal or romantic stuff. Really wana be participative in ones so as to share ideas and also to learn of some new perspectives as well as knowledges.
Also like to go into a violent one just to see how people react from their gut feelings.
Pls drop me a msg if u happen to know any. Appreciate that :-)

Rights to Shut Up?
I'm quite fascinated about this Cambodian parliment regulation that doesn't allow a less-than-10-member party to debate in the National Assembly. What are their roles then in the parliment? Aren't they also representatives of a group of people who appointed them to talk on their behalfs?
While the regulation is adopted from other well established constituations in countries such as France and Britain, I strongly oppose the rule as i don't think it's rational, fair, or just to do so.
CPP lawmaker Jeam Yeap commented that it is regulated so that the time can be better controlled for each member to speak up as there are quite a number of them there. But i don't think it is at all a good reason for that all of them are supposed to finetune their policies, strategies, and goals - especially the recently debated national budget - to the best for the country. It should take quite some time to do that and i doubt how long the parliment was spending on discussing the issue. Furthermore, i think not all those CPP and SRP lawmakers would be talking as they've supposedly dicussed among their groups before the meeting. Adding few more crops of people wouldn't take that much of time, and it's theoretically even more important when those are from adversary groups.
Yeah although i don't like the Human Right party, especially the leader, i think they should have the rights to express their ideas in the parliment.

Lee Kuan Yew's Quote About Cambodia
In an effort to find out how my country was during the 1960s as rumors said that Cambodia then was a jewel of Asia... I found out this one quote, quite satisfactory though not yet confirmed to me that my country was really so.
Anyway, here's what he said then:
Up to the late 1960s, Cambodia was the shining star of Indo-China, a confluence of intellectuals, traders, artists and bourgeois who lived, played and worked there. Phnom Penh was the jewel of Asia then. Lee Kuan Yew, the first Prime Minister of Singapore visited Cambodia in April 1967 at the invitation of Prince Norodom Sihanouk. Cruising along the capital's elegant boulevards in a Mercedes convertible, Lee turned to his host and said, "I hope, one day, my city will look like this".

This kind of quotes or rumors really make my heart cool, warm, and at the same time hot... the inconvenient saying.
