Stop Drunk Drivers and save Khmer lives

Stop Drunk Drivers and save Khmer lives

The 4Ds

Drinking is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. The accident that nearly took Khemarak Sereymon's life and caused death and injuries to many of his friends is another wake up call for the Cambodian Government and Cambodian communities to do something now to stop this madness.

Cambodians must stop playing in the Devil's playing grounds and bring back our morality to fight devilish activities.

110 Buddhist Monks came to the accident scene to bless the Highway after the many accidents that had happened at the same area in the past few years. However, the real cure to this problem is to help prevent it from happening in the first place. Human errors and the [bad] attitude of drivers have been the main reason for such fatalities. Drinking is one of the main causes of illnesses and ill attitudes.

Cambodia is a Buddhist country. Her citizens should at least respect Buddha’s daily 5 precepts. Drinking irresponsibly and using drugs is the last warning.



We have seen so much commercials everywhere embracing alcohol (liquor, beer, wine, etc...) as one of ingredients of happiness in Cambodian society. This must be stopped!

Unfortunately, storms of commercials are being promoted in television programs which are very popular among Cambodian youths enticing them that drinking is a remedy for good health and happiness. 

Nearly all TV channels which promote sports such as Khmer boxing programs are being sponsored by the companies that make or import harmful drinks. All Championship bells are being awarded by these companies. 

For a few hundred dollars per bell Cambodian youths are being used to beat each other  up in the rings to help promote products that are the main causes of chaos in the current Cambodian fragile society. 

Series of these commercials are being openly broadcast to all audience. Babies are included!

Perhaps Khemarak Sereymon and Neay Koy will use this opportunity to help campaign against drunk drivers by using their talents to help stop or slow down this social disease.

I encourage Khmemarak Sereymon and Neay Koy to help bring back good morality via their talents and popularity.

You can do it!

Cambodian pop-star Khemarak Sereymon (photo: Khemarak Sereymon's facebook)

PHNOM PENH (The Cambodia Herald) -- Cambodian pop-star Khemarak Sereymon has recovered from a horrible accident Thursday night that took the lives of his friends but he is still in shock from the incident.

"He's okay now, but his mental state is uncertain, he is still terrified from the accident," Sunday Production general manager, Lay Sok Chamroeun told Cambodia Express News (CEN), an affiliate of The Cambodia Herald.

"Sereymon was slightly injured in his left leg and will be leaving for Phnom Penh this evening or tomorrow," he said Friday.

"The semi truck's driver was drunk and crashed into his Tundra which was trying to turn onto another road."

Chamroeun, had asked eye witnesses at the scene and said, Sereymon was lucky because he bent over when he saw that the semi truck was going to hit his Tundra.

The accident that took place on National Road four in Sihanoukville’s, Prey Nop district, killed four entertainers and injured five others, who were on their way to perform at a concert commemorating International Women’s Rights Day.

Two of the victims killed in the accident were identified as the Chi Virak, son of comedians Neay Koy, whose body is currently at a funeral pyre in Phnom Penh, and Den Ny.

A $1,200 Lesson and "Achievus"

A $1,200 Lesson and "Achievus"

October...2012

The weather condition was quite chilly.. but for me that day was as beautiful as any other days.

It was half cloudy yet magically the sun was shining brightly though a few spots of blue sky onto an unfamiliar yet beautiful small town-- a rare thing that happened in Ireland I was told.

I was still uncomfortable with the group of many international students…who came from different parts of the world to complete our certification program-- to become certified instructors for the Napoleon Hill Foundation--a prestigious program that happens once a year.

After having an early lunch --turkey platter--at Jules, a very nice restaurant near the beautiful Castle Trim, I decided to take a walk around the area sightseeing and shooting some pictures.

Across the street from the restaurants, a huge beautiful olden grey stone castle stood proudly awaiting for our small group to take pleasure in its beauty.

Pictures: Author's record

It was rather quiet for a tourist spot, I thought. But, I do love the serenity.

Besides the people in our group, there were just a few local people that I could see getting in and out of their cars in the nearby parking lot.

A few people had already climbed up to the upper level of the tower to where I wanted to be next.

The old castle reminded me the time that I visited the many ancient Khmer monuments in Cambodia a few years back. I remembered I lost a bottle of Avian water to a young poor boy who pretended that he could help me carry it so I could free my hands to take pictures of the Temple.

Instead, the very thin, half naked, young boy decided to run away with my bottle of water… I smiled with compassion as I was watching him spinning his bare feet as fast as he could accross the grassy field. I would give it to him if he just asked…"You can have it, for you need it more than I do." I said to myself, then.

A little flashback brought me a quick smile…

Anyway, I planned to climb up Trim Castle to see more beautiful sites from the top after taking a few more pictures of the big cannon which stood between the parking lot and the castle.


While I was about to take another picture, I heard someone yelling out my name loudly from the street.


"Timothy, Timothy," "Are you Timothy?"… I was wondering why a nice-looking tall young man wearing green t-shirt and blue jacket with ponytail hidden under his bright “Green Beret” rushing toward me like it was some kind of emergency situation.

“What’s going on?” I wondered.

"Are you Timothy?" He stressed again.

"Yes I am," I responded. The young man then rushed toward me....

"Am I in trouble?" "Or Am I in luck?" I thought.

... and then the young man showed me a wallet that had my driver license in it.

I checked my back pocket... just to realize that it was empty. Oh, no!

The young man then told me that he found my wallet in the restroom. I was completely shocked.

"I am Jeremy, I found this in the restroom, is it yours?" " You are Timothy...?" The young man handed over my wallet to me enthusiastically as if he was very happy to find its owner.  Indeed he looked more happier than I did!

After realizing that wallet was mine, I thanked Jeremy for his kindness. He told me that he saw my picture, my name and he knew that it was my wallet. He was looking for me at the restaurant first then someone told him that I was at the castle.

We shook hand then Jeremy returned.

I noticed that everything was all in the same the order... including my credit cards, ID cards, driver license and about $1200 in Cash.

That was the entire possession I brought to Ireland for that trip besides my luggage. Without that wallet the whole trip would be chaotic.

I was and I am proud of Jeremy as well as I was and I am proud of our group who deeply cared about each other.

Jeremy was among our elite group who went to Ireland to complete our certification program to become certified instructors for the Napoleon Hill foundation--the rare leadership position that can help make a big difference in people's life.

I got to know more about Jeremy later on during our trip. It turned out that Jeremy was actually a genius.

A young man whom I predict that will become very successful in achieving his personal goal.

Inspired by Dr. Napoleon Hill's Principles of Success, Jeremy designed  a very powerful mind game which can help thousands of families reach their Major definiteness of purpose via Positive Mental Attitude and more.

I am excited to have met and associated with Jeremy Rayzor, a person of high integrity and with great spirit.

His main purpose is to make millions of people to become successful in their life.


Adults and as well as young children will surely benefit from his works---the works that follow the footprints of the Great Dr. Napoleon Hill...


I wish every family would spend time together playing "Achievus" rather than playing other mind destructing games.


I also wish you would let your mind or your young children's mind be touched by "Achievus" to discover the Keys to achieve your success together.

Cambodian Leaders: Leading the same nation but dying with different dignity...

Where will they be in their next life?

***

They all said they loved Cambodia and Khmer people. They lived and fought against the same enemy. They held or had held he same title: Cambodian top leader.

Combined results:  Cambodia was almost completely destroyed, nearly half of Cambodia's population perished, maimed and displaced.

Much to learn from their mistakes... adversities, setbacks and failures...to find the seed of success for the bright future of every Cambodian.

Good-Bye "God King"

Good-Bye "God King"

Picture: Author's record

For those who dislike the late former King, the most joyful day is here again. Their wishes are fulfilled and unfortunately their hatred will continue from here to eternity.

Nothing in this world that anyone can do to heal their injuries and hatred—for all they see is what the former King has done wrong.

They will consume much energy to talk about “evil” things that they think the King had committed. Among other things, they would criticize that the King was an absolutist; his behaviors had brought Cambodia down; his policies were self-destructive; his personal life had been nothing but a playboy; he had allowed Vietcong and North Vietnamese to station in Cambodia; He was siding with the Khmer Rouge; had kowtowed to Vietnam, China and never been friendly to the West, etc…

For those who look for the King’s positive side, they are deeply mourning the passing away of their revered “God King” with love, respect and compassion.

Regardless of what the King had done wrong, they will forgive and willing to forget. Their mind will be at peace and there is no hatred left. Perhaps they will be happier than those who possess hatred...

They would praise the King for his work to help gain independence for Cambodia; love him for giving Cambodia Peace for many years; admire him for standing strong against America; thank him for helping Cambodia to achieve a peaceful solution with the current regime, etc…

One chapter of Cambodian history is finally closed. The talk of the town will continue for a while and then Cambodia will move on without the former King. Another “God King” has not been created or born or perhaps Cambodians will become their own “King.”

The future of Cambodia will depend on whether Cambodians can learn from our adversity and defeat and figure out how to build a better Cambodia together.

Khmer people need to think right. With accurate thinking Cambodians will be able to see things clearly and in order to think accurately Cambodians must avoid negative emotions because such emotions will lead to more confusion. No one in this world can do things right when they are confused.

Universal law permits no one to become successful when he or she possesses negative emotions such as hatred, revenge, jealousy, anger, fear, greed and superstition, etc…For these reasons the best thing that we all can do is to stop recycling these destructive emotions.

Picture: Author's record

For me I would say farewell to the former head of State, the former Prince, and the former King…the history will judge him and he must deal with the law of Karma….the law of cause and effect or Karma which rules the Universe will determine the King’s fate.

Yes, I used to love him when I was once a young high school boy who was diving from the crowd to grab his hand under the hot sun;

...then I was disgusted with his policy and my blood boiled when I learned that he allowed the Vietcong and North Vietnamese to use Cambodia to fight the Americans;

Then…I despised him when the Khmer Rouge, his communist ally, sent me to be executed.

Then my heart melted when he decided to turn against the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia in 1979…and the world knows the rest of the story.

…and then the one other thing that the King and I had in common was music. Music has no color and although he could not sing well, the King was a good musician… And for whatever will happen to Cambodia next, I will always like his music… and I will remember the times when he and I used to play together…

As for the King and I, he is gone and I hold no grudges: I am at peace.

R.I.P

Good bye "God King!"

Made in Memphis Seminar on Learning From Adversity and Defeat

Made in Memphis Seminar on Learning From Adversity and Defeat

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Made in Memphis has invited myself, Taylor Tagg and Tim Chhim to speak on February 12th about Learning From Adversity and Defeat, one of Napoleon Hill's Success Principles. The goal of Made in Memphis is for local manufacturers, educational institutions, and Workforce Investment Network and its partners to work together to create a pipeline of skilled workers to meet the hiring needs of manufacturing employers, and to prepare local job seekers with the skills they need to get good jobs in manufacturing. The Industrial Readiness Training (IRT) course is a centerpiece of the Made in Memphis Initiative.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rsV-VnufBI&feature=player_embedded



IRT is a four week program at Southwest Tennessee Community College designed to prepare individuals for jobs in local manufacturing and industry. The training teaches and measures foundational technical, academic, and interpersonal knowledge and skills that have been identified by local industry leaders as critical to long-term employee success. This knowledge includes soft skills like safety, communication and team-building and hard skills like basic mechanics and math.

Applicants are assessed using both ACT's WorkKeys and mechanical skills aptitude testing. Students who successfully complete the IRT program have demonstrated significant improvement in both test scores.

IRT also offers much greater odds of landing a job over hit-and-miss efforts like most job fairs, resume submissions and even interviews. Industrial Readiness Training is like a tryout under the watchful eye of an employer who's looking to hire.

Each Industrial Readiness Training class is conducted on behalf of an employer who needs new workers. Southwest won't start a new class cycle unless the school can match it with a company wanting to hire.

In the first year of the program, manufacturers using the class have been Blues City Brewery, Kruger (USA), Electrolux, Unilever, Bryce Corp, and Solae.

From January through August, 2012, 251 job seekers have completed the IRT course. Of these, 152 have received job offers from Memphis area manufacturing employers. Ninety-three per cent of those receiving job offers were citizens of Memphis and Shelby County. From May through August, WIN has funded the tuition for 140 students.

Many more companies may participate over the next three years, when local manufacturers will need to fill about 4,000 positions according to the Greater Memphis Chamber and WIN/Tennessee Career Center.

In Cambodia...

US Seeks Infrastructure Deals in Cambodia

By Simon Lewis - January 20, 2013

Looking to compete with Chi­nese influence in the region, the U.S. government is making plans to help American companies win large-scale infrastructure projects in Cambodia, U.S. officials said on Thursday in Phnom Penh.

The plans, which come as part of a strategic and economic em-bracing of Asia by the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama, look to challenge China’s near monopoly on big undertakings, such as roads and hydro­power dams in the country.

“The pivot to Asia…is not only a security focus, it’s an economic focus because in order for us to be successful in the long term, we have to be economically in­volved in this region,” said Lor­raine Hariton, U.S. State De­part­ment special representative for commercial and business affairs, who spoke to reporters during a round-table meeting at the U.S Embassy in Phnom Penh. Her visit followed a meeting in Hanoi on Monday to discuss infrastructure in the region as part of the U.S.-led Lower Mekong Initiative.

“We are concerned that Amer­ican companies are not involved in this region—Cambodia as well as the general Lower Mekong region—especially in this area of infrastructure,” Ms. Hariton said. “We are looking to get some good winds here and work on some deals that will allow us to play a larger role in this region.”

Hong-Phong Pho, the desk officer for Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos within the U.S. Department of Commerce, said U.S. government agencies—including the Export-Import Bank of the United States, the U.S. Overseas Private Invest­ment Corporation and the U.S. Trade and Development Agen­cy—were ready to help develop infrastructure in the region.

“That’s the tools that we have, but before we can apply those tools, we need an actual concrete project. Whether it’s an investment project, like an airport where there’s a demand for goods and services, or just great sales [of U.S. products and technologies].”

He said American firms could be involved in projects such as power plants, and that one un­named U.S. company present at the meeting in Hanoi was interested in building a new airport in Cambodia.
“For me, deals are what’s im­portant,” Mr. Pho said. “As a re­sult of our meetings in Vietnam, we found a certain [U.S.] company that has the capability not only to operate and build airports, but also bringing financing. Now that’s really important.”

“It’s that kind of connection that can make things happen. And we will be right there facilitating it,” he added.

While some U.S. companies have made inroads into Cambo­dia’s economy—U.S. brands like Ford and Dairy Queen entered the market in 2012—American firms have not been granted any of the country’s larger projects in the in­frastructure and energy sectors.

Currently, Chinese companies with close links to the Chinese government dominate Cambo­dia’s infrastructure sector, building roads, bridges and hydro­power dams, with Chinese banks also providing funding.

Just last month, two Chinese companies announced that they would spend $9.6 billion building a brand-new seaport in Koh Kong province, and a 400-km railway connecting it to a steel mill in Preah Vihear province.

According to the most recent figures from the Cambodian In­vestment Board (CIB), which cov­er 2012 up to the end of No­vember, new Chinese investment totaled more than $250 million in the 11-month period.

Only one large investment in Cam­bodia during the period came from the U.S.—a 49 percent stake in a $10.9 million tour­ism development on an island off the coast of Koh Kong province.
Although the CIB figures only represent pledged investment agreed with the government, U.S. Embassy deputy political and economic section chief David Myers said no better data for U.S. investment was available.

Also speaking at the embassy, Bretton Sciaroni, chairman of the Cambodia chapter of the Ameri­can Chamber of Commerce, said that multinational corporations from the U.S. had taken an interest in Cambodia of late.

“For major corporates, it’s unrealistic to think that you’re going to have them come one day and the next day decide to invest,” he said. “What I view this as is putting seeds in the ground and it will grow later.”

He also said many companies op­erating in China were interested in setting up part of their operation in Cambodia “to hedge their bets because the Chinese economic en­­­vironment is more un­certain for international companies.”

Daniel Mitchell, a board member at the American Chamber of Com­merce, who has been doing business in Cambodia for 12 years, said the main considerations for such firms coming into Cambodia would be the cost and reliability of electricity and tele­communication services.
He also said that, rather than putting investors off, the human rights situation and difficulties over land in Cambodia could be helped by U.S. investment, which is subject to higher standards. Some of those standards come from the fact U.S. firms must com­ply with regulations on foreign bribery found within the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

“One way of addressing the hu­man rights issues is to promote the investment of responsible capital,” he said.

“I’ll let you draw the conclusions of where responsible capital comes from, and the U.S. is definitely on that list, and where oth­er capital comes from—places where there just aren’t those standards and it isn’t something that’s important.”

The State Department’s Ms. Hariton said Cambodia’s main problem in garnering investment from the U.S. was its image.

“I think we need to do a better job of marketing Cambodia especially to the United States,” she said.
“There [are] percep­tions­…about how the country might have been 20 years ago, not what it is today.”

One Monk to Watch...

Is Cambodia lucky enough to have Ven. Loun Sovath

to hepl protect Human Rights?

Enthusiasm is a double-edged sword that can make or break an individual if it is not properly controlled.

I like Venerable Loun Sovath’s courageous activities to help bring justice to Cambodian victims of human rights abuses. And I also like his enthusiasm and passion in doing his gracious works to let the world know about Cambodia’s need ---to improve its human rights record. It is a much needed record for the Cambodian government, IF it wants to be recognized as a civilized and dignified government.



It is indeed a tough job for Ven. Loun Sovath…for being a prominent monk who must balance between Buddhist disciplines and the day-to-day life and politics of laypersons; especially, when he is in a spotlight and being watched by thousands.

Any activity contradicts to Buddhist rules of conduct can become problems. Problems that may hinder his own progress toward his personal purposes as well as the long-term progress of thousands of people who may count on his works.

It is very important for Ven Loun Savath to control his enthusiasm. Turn it on when it is necessary and tune it down when it is not. Watching his own steps and actions is one of the most important things he must do.



It is understandable that sometimes, people unconsciously do things that may cause adverse effects to his/her success or the success of the majority. But, for Ven. Loun, he must not let his personal pride and pleasure control his mood and actions. He must not give weapons or alibis to his opponents who may effortlessly use to destroy his good cause.

Buddha preaches proper balancing and adhering to certain behaviors and ethical conducts to achieve your goal. Follow his path and you will surely reach your destiny.

For those hopeful MP candidates: What to look out for...(cont)

For those hopeful MP candidates: What to look out for...(Cont)

Watch for the ghost supporters:

Ghost supporters are everywhere, there are plenty of them. If you look for ghost supporters and hidden members, of course, you will not find them.

Besides ghost leaders who never show up to support and to lead your party you also need to know that there are many ghost supporters and hidden members who will remain in secret and silent forever.

Local leaders will tell you that many of real supporters are afraid to come out to support your party. Regardless of their no-shows, according to the local leaders, those ghost members need your assistance with the money, too.

It is impossible to verify these members because they are really hidden.  Frankly speaking, majority of them exist only inside those local leaders' head.  The numbers of those ghosts are fictitious.

Don't count on their name, address and identification card because these things can be falsified. The money you spend on ghost members is likened to the money that Mr. Lon Nol's Generals spent on their ghost soldiers in the 70's.

The fear is real:

Although the fear of an oppressive regime is real in Cambodia, you need to understand that many people including professional politicians had used such a condition as alibis for their personal benefits at your expense. They would claim those hidden supporters as one of their reasons or sufficient grounds to ask you for more monetary support. You must not let your heart control you head. The expenses on ghost members and supporters must be brought under control, otherwise your funds will be exhausted much sooner.

It is good to remind yourself that politicking in Cambodia has become more like a seasonal business. Many leaders and supporters are very sensitive about the way they do business.  You may not received full support from your local leaders if you ask for clarification or transparency about how the money was/is spent. Therefore, you need to be cautious to prevent a possible backstabbing in the future. Many times it is the enemy from within that really cause you headaches, not the CPP.

You also need to be aware that many people who claim to support the oppositions are those members of the CPP who were allowed to participate in your party's gatherings. They do that for their personal interests. These people without fail would go back to their base and vote for their own party. When your political leaders brag about the participation of the CPP's members in your party's meetings, you should not count on those people's supports.

Just remember that this is how most people who live in many Cambodian communities interact. They are very loyal to those who feed them. They may like your party and realize that you have "good" ideas, but at the end of the campaign season they will vote for their friends, relatives and their community leaders who work, drink, play and pray together. Social conformity/heredity , communal norm and personal interests lead them to make such a decision.  Those who cross the political line will be outnumbered and outcast.  Hence they rather yield to such pressures.

The empty promises:

Your political party may have promised many things in the past, and they will do it again in the future. Nevertheless, none of those promises has yet been materialized.  This is one of the weaknesses that the oppositions face in every election. This upcoming election, for example, some of their promises are too good to be true. 

Somehow Cambodians nowadays are very skeptical of any campaign promises.  They have learned "well" and they are more intelligent than they were in the past.  The oppositions are somehow tainted as the parties that are poor, broke and unable to support themselves.  Internal fighting and defecting also the causes of the suspicion.

If the promises are put in writing, you may expect some mocking remarks from many voters. Many Cambodians now don't read and rather demand and expect bottles (of white liquor) not written pamphlets describing your promises to bring them a better future. They want to see, touch, taste and feel instant gratifications.

There is no immediate solution to this chronic immoral issue, it has been embedded in the mind of many Cambodians for decades. Education maybe the answer, but excessive drinking, smoking, gambling, prostitution and other dishonest behaviors may hinder their learning process. You can blame the current government for this, but it is appalling to learn that most of opposition leaders and members, too, are in the same boat. This is where democratic processes in corrupt society tarnish good and fair outcomes of the elections

One thing that every leader, especially leaders of the oppositions, can do and need to do instantaneously is to change himself or herself from within.  Be a good leader! Everyone  needs to lead not just in politics but in moral, mental and spiritual as well.  Personal growth is the most important development everyone of us need to do in order to effectively help develop a nation, region and the whole world.  However, developing ourselves is the starting point.

Part-time politicians:

You need to realize that many politicians, political leaders, and supporters of the oppositions are seasonal and they are only active during the campaign season. For that reason, the level of cooperation among them is very low. It seems that they are simply in politics for the money. To them, if you do not have enough money you are nobody. Your knowledge and education or your backgrounds carry little weight comparing to money.

You may run into a lot of frustration when you see people with less education, little experience, lack of good morality  yet they are listed as top candidates to become Cambodian lawmakers. You should be reminded that in Cambodia there is a perverted proverb that says: the money is number one, the woman (other women) is number two, and the party is number three. National interests are probably the least priority on their mind.

It is unfortunate that many part-time politicians can dominate political decisions because they are related and befriend with top leaders of your political party.  This issue, too, must be addressed!
