Hysterical Achievement
“The handing over of the 12
helicopters today is another new historical achievement among other
achievements that the Chinese government has done to support Cambodia in an
attempt to strengthen the capacity of Royal Cambodian Armed Forces... Even
though they [helicopters] are not big… they will help improve the effectiveness
of curbing criminal acts that cause disasters and violate our sovereignty or
our law.”
Defense Minister Tea Banh
at the official handover of the 12 Chinese-built Z-9 military helicopters
Historical
achievement? Tea Banh’s perspective on this purchase from China with loan money
from China seems a bit hysterical. He may be right, however. After all it takes
the government as long as two years to borrow $195.5 million from China to buy
the Chinese helicopters. How exciting.
And
the flying gun machines arrive just in time for what he calls “curbing criminal
acts” after referring to post July 2013 elections.
Well,
it is indeed a new historical advancement in their ability to shoot “the
criminals” from the sky in addition to the ground level where they have done so
well.
