Cambodian Politic: Brother Enemy and Family Business
http://www.khmer.rfi.fr/kem-sokha-attacked-by-his-own-brother
Political fighting between family members is family business as usual.
In business if one brother works for Coke, the other works for Pepsi, regardless of which company wins or does well in the market place, both brothers will benefit from the success of their respective company.
In Cambodian politic, thus far, like many politicians, Kem Sokhon and Kem Sokha have defected a few times—that is Cambodian political norm. Both brothers claim that they have been seeking for a better solution for Cambodian people. Can anyone guarantee their moves in the future?
Something to think about:
Social activists use social issues as their business venture, religious workers use religion to make a living, entrepreneurs use business enterprises to enrich themselves, and of course politicians use politics to proper.
Benefits may come in different forms. Some prosper with money, others with name and fame; many with “title” designations.
A few good men/women who want to get into politics for national interests don’t last.
In the end it is the supporters who pay the price--financially, mentally, and spiritually.
Meanwhile Cambodia is still waiting for a better team.
