DRAMA SCRIPT

THE son OF kambujadesa.

[---]

I love this land. I love the dry wind and fragrance of the golden rice fields in the season of great harvest. I love.. the big swath of water and the fertility brought by our mother river in the season of rains. My mother, my father were born, lived and died here… and so did yours; and so will all of us here, the sons of Kambuj and the dragon mother. Now we are standing here, on this land under the dark storms of clouds and the thirsty wind and in front of the hell God, Yama. And we shall tell them that "All men here fear no death, no hell… and NO MEN".

My friends! I love my wife; I love… my son and daughter. And I love you all… and I love peace. I love the serenity and prosperity in times of peace. But TODAY we don’t fight for peace; WE FIGHT FOR OUR GLORY… FOR OUR PEOPLE… AND FOR OUR LAND... FOR OUR RIGHTS TO LIVE IN THE LAND WE LIVE, ALWAYS LIVE, AND ALWAYS WILL. And at the end of this battle, the world shall see that “NO MEN COULD TAKE PLEASURE IN THE WAR THAT THEY WAGE" and that "NO ONE MAN COULD PROCLAIM EVERLASTING VICTORY".

My countrymen, my comrades, my friends… I admire your strengths, your courage… and your sacrifice. And it is my honor to fight all the wars with you and this last war of ours today. AND TONIGHT WE’LL DRINK THEIR BLOOD AND CELEBRATE OUR GLORY TOGETHER IN HELL… (courtesy 300)

Letter To PRIME MINISTER

Dear Samdach Decho,

I'm very impressed at the not-so-recent development of two new ministerial buildings, the National Assembly and the Minstry of Foreign Affairs. They just look so iconic and remind us of our glory in the past. I very much would love to see that kind of initiative to promote our khmer styled architectures and I believe we do have competent artists and specialists for that.

However, I'd love to feedback that the new Council of Ministers, sponsored by the Chinese governmet, is really a huge disappoitment. I just looks so ugly, unimpressive, plain, and disappoiting to me.

I haven't seen the new building of the Ministry of Tourism yet, but I hope that it is of some encouragement and motivation for the people.

I respect your effots and look forwards to seeing more of your creative, innovative, and visionary developments.

Best regards,

Khemara Phoumirak

As a dreamer, I have one wish - be able to lift the human spirit up in confidence and empowerment by oneself.


As a dreamer, i have one wish - dreaming a real dream.

the Real Pride. Where.

Imagine how luxurious being born in a big guy's land. You can have all the luxury, dare to dream, do anything you want, and are always better protected.

US senator John Webb came all the way to Burma and with just a few words he managed to set his american fellow dude John Yettaw free out of his jail penalty on the stupid (not that bad, but i just couldn't understand the point) act of his swimming to keep Suu Kyi in jail.

I wish the cambodians were able to sense the feeling.

Immagine how happy we would be just to see merely a time that we're heard over.

Oh my cambodia, when would that great hero be borne again? I'm wishing to see every now and then. May the water in Cambodia stopped flowing backwards again every season of rains.

poking khmer wounds.
the incredible dull.

Reading from those stupid histories, overlooking from the real life today and tomorrow, and studying on those outsiders' point of views, i've come to realize or rather confirm more and more on my perception that it really is so.

The French have an impression: "the Vietnamese plant rice; the Cambodians watch it grow and the Laotians listen to it grow." Of course some would say "Oh these people had come for a short span of time and gone, and how could they possibly rule out a sensible opinion about how we are?" But could it be true?

The elders like to tell stories of which i've never felt bored listening.. the pride they have that we're better and stronger, but i don't feel so. The Cambodians have been weak, and very weak, all along. I doubted that and it was never that hard to convince me so. But at least once i heard the name of this old rusty and fragile land disappeared from the world map few centuries ago.

Even small little thing i'd never bother to think.. In my village never occupied a vietnamese several years back. The last time I went back home a couple of years ago, there appeared plenty of them. That didn't surprise me at the first place; they came to do businesses with a few new factories opening up. BUT those few little coffee shops @ which i used to go watching movies when i was a little kid had just closed down. I was told the new vietnamese ones were better. Really so?

I've been always wondering... how could the other neighboring countries do better, and always better, than cambodia? I was told we had just recently recovered - or rather not so, but realeased, from that stupid war. I wondered as the vietnameses also went through even a longer, harder war. Is it really so, or...?

I argued it was the leader's ability.. then I was teased that i was too young or immature to have thought so. Emm maybe. But i probably need to learn, or shout, more.

Anyway thinking further about it; i shdn't blame only on him though i think he's the most responsible person for that. If the country stands lots of thinkers and real doers, I again think, no one person has that great power or impact on how the land grows.

I wish the cambodians were smarter and stronger. What am i to say so? and why i have that stupid reaction when i hear so. I don't know. I just don't understand.

Since the Angkor time, the word is more or less the same no matter how the country has changed.

It's been so hard a time for these few folks that they've come to love their country {too?} much.

"If I will be rewarded for my meritorious acts, I wish to be empowered to rebuild the pride of those who had sacrificed their lives for their visions that they brought for the land and the people and that for centuries never died." Khemara Phoumirak

Stay in Peace

Wonder when i can stay in peace like yesterdays... staying in a dark and peaceful nights with no light and noises. Happy with my family chatting about simple life stories with a pot of hot tea under the many stars dotting the sky.

I'm kinda lost sometimes on who i am and who i'm trying to be.

IF i were to freely decide by myself... if i were to be on my own self... if i were alone... if i were not trying to be a smart boy since the earlier time... if i didn't know the king... if i didn't know anything at all... i would marry my simple pretty wife and lead a life so peaceful... Wouldn't that be beautiful to make your girl and your whole family laugh a simple stupid joke.

I wonder why i could sleep so well there, but feel like hell every night trying to close my eyes here. I wonder why i need to think that much and why i cannot stop it.

Why do i need to prove you my self dignity... I'm stupid and insane... i'm telling you that i'm not as smart as you... or i'm more stupid than you, my friends. I wonder why i alw try to impress you that i'm not stupid too... oh i won't do it anymore.

I will try my best to do what i want to... and not because of you. It's me now, and no matter how, i won't look back into your face and tell you that i regret or i'm happy... i won't see you... but you can just know that i'm happy like so.

I'm going back to my hometown, Samrom village, Rokapopram commune, Tbong Khmum district, Kg Cham province... (ភូមិសមរម្យ ឃុំរកាពប្រាំ ស្រុកត្បូងឃ្មុំ ខេត្តកំពង់ចាម)។ We'll celebrate our peace. Good bye.

REtired!

The Premier understands well that senior civil servant must retire when they reach 55 years of age so as to enable the next generation of youth to take up the jobs to develop the country with new, fresh, and advanced ideas, knowledge, and skills.

However, Premier said before that he would love to run the country even after his 90 so as to enable him to achieve all his visions and beat up the opposition competitors.

Prime minister, deputy prime minister, and ministers are not civil servants... so they all can't be enforced under the decree, or can it?

Raping Is A Big Issue in Cambodia

Rape and debauchery... i think legalizing prostitution would be the best solution for the damn poor country like cambodia. There are at least two reasons for that:

Firstly, sexual desire, though in some case contributing to self-inducementis, is a natural force and thus, i think, is hard for a number of people to restrain from the drive. Since prostitution is only available in the city and big town, those in the rural areas couldn't afford the time and money just to go for that, but instead target those around them, sadly even to their owns kids. I don't think you should suggest them to read books or play sports all the time they want it. And that's why prostitution should be legalized and spred across the country; easy access with variety and affordable price.

Acutally prostitution also helps creates more jobs for those uneducated people. Not many jobs in the market, it'd better for those unemployees to seek for other sources of incomes; no more relying on others. Besides, you shouldn't deny that some people would enjoy having that profession rather than working off their guts just to earn few bucks from factories. Those other guys wouldn't need to rob or steal if they don't have jobs. You know this business is lucrative.

But what are the underlying problems? HIV... minor worker, human trafficking, social disorder...

But i think it's easier to solve all these problems. As long as there's proper control over forced and underaged sexual labour, and enough medical care support to the workers, most problems would be solved. The biggest problem is the social value system that puts a lot of burdons on those people. I wonder what matters with people? It's their bodies; they wana sell it, just let them do. Give them freedom to pursue what they think is right for themselves. You can try to educate them, but should never restrict them. At the end, don't you like to make love too?

Oh yeah... i put it this way:

You need sex, you can go to brothel; you need food, you can go to foodcourt. So simple as that.
