Why do you live in Cambodia?
Posted: Wed Jan 20, 2016 1:29 pm
If you insist on living in Cambodia, there is something here that you seriously like. That also automatically implies that there is something back home that you seriously dislike. I live in Cambodia because I thoroughly detest man-made law and man-made regulations, while there is very little of that in Cambodia. That means that I am pretty much free to do as I please here. Back home is a regulation hell. I really got sick and tired of that.
Cambodia's freedom is under threat too. Some people managed to convince the Cambodian parliament to make driving licenses for motorbikes mandatory. Of course, there is no way that the majority of Cambodian population believes that they should go out of their way, jump through all kinds of hoops and pay all kinds of strange fees, in order to get a driving license and keep riding their motorbikes.
As usual, it were western NGOs again, who browbeat the Cambodian parliament into inventing that stuff: Pagna Kim, country director for the Asia Injury Prevention Fund, said the decision to waive driving tests—-let alone licenses—was a dangerous move, regardless of engine power. What Pagna Kim forgets, is that we don't give a fuck about what she thinks. It is what the Cambodian population thinks, that matters.
It is clear that it is not possible to design a system of parliamentary representation that will not succumb to the control of special interests. Therefore, it is a fallacy to claim that a parliament will end up representing its voters. It won't. Therefore, democracy can only exist in theory. It cannot possibly exist in practice. Since the concept of democracy itself is just nonsense, it is clearly and also an illegitimate method of lawmaking.
The Cambodians are quite lucky that Prime Minister HE intervened, wisely sidelined the western NGOs and their paid-for parliament, and abolished "the new traffic law".
Pagna Kim clearly does not know what would be truly dangerous. Boko Haram means Western Propaganda is Evil. Her kind of NGO is responsible for the fact that we now have the black banner of the jihad floating over half the planet already. If these western NGOs don't stop their little games with other people's parliaments, we will soon have the black banner of the jihad floating over the other half too.
