Hun sen can not be embarassed nor does he give a shit as long as the foreign donors keep the $$$ flowing

It is not "donors" he's making the big bucks off of. It is out and out business deals with the Chinese and others.

Which is why he doesn't hesitate to thumb his nose at the donors. He doesn't need them. Various government social services do, but as far as HS is concerned these could shut down tomorrow.

Actually, HE seems to have decided to leave a legacy all of a sudden. But I guess with an estimated 3 Billion squirreled away he can pretend to be concerned about the rule of the law. Let's see what happens today; massive march by the opposition announced here in SR.
