Cambodia Has Come a Long Way! [-To uncover Cambodia's festering societal and economic cancer, one needs to dig deeper!]

IN 1991, I flew on an army plane to Cambodia to see our soldiers serving under the auspices of the United Nations in Battambang.
This country was just one big dust bowl and rubbish bin as it had to endure too many wars and invasions, and millions of its population were decimated by that evil force under the guise of the dreaded Khmer Rouge.
Today, the Kingdom of Cambodia is bouncing back with a vengeance, economically, politically and socially.
Last week, I had another chance to be part of an official visit there.
