The Selecting of the Political Leader in Cambodia

Though its present image does not draw great impression from the regional and international audiences, Cambodia, to me, is one of the world's states that many other states can learn from.

Its journeys across almost every stage of political regimes, prosperous history and stigmatized present day and other political spiral that won over the forecasting power of Henry Kissinger, Advisor to the American President Richard Nixon, has made the current politics of Cambodia a trauma one, or I would call a "leprosy subject" in the universities.

What are the motives of Cambodia's sluggish development? Are Cambodian leaders thinking independently and in sovereignty? Are current leaders really caring about people's interests? Are those leaders boasting the genuine leadership faculty? These are the questions that make the selection of the political leader a very hard subject in the Cambodian society.

Selections of the political leader in Cambodia, to those who have informative mind, prove a very difficult one. So what are the reasons behind their hard selection? Its sometimes-vertical and sometimes-horizontal political atmospheres and its unstable spiral in economy have been the eminent homework that makes us difficulty in fulfilling our job of selecting our leader. However, there are much more factors that are contributing to our head age.

With all the above evils, selecting the political leader in Cambodia is not to opt out "from the best of the best", but pick the one who has committed the lest crimes; nationally and internationally, publicly and individually.
