“For example, now we have 35,000 workers and we are asking for an increase of perhaps 40,000 to 50,000. The premier [Hun Sen] stressed that Cambodian workers in South Korea would not only receive money but also increase their experience and technological skills they can use back home.”

Ho Chi Minh might have been inspired by American author Horace Greely’s call some 150 years ago for young Americans to go conquering the West. However, Ho’s long term vision is modest – all he wants is just Indochina. He would be proud of his descendants who have pursued his strategic plan so relentlessly and effectively. Vietnam’s control and influence have gradually penetrated into Cambodian society, economy, and psyche.

The latest satisfaction for Vietnam is a fresh confirmation by Cambodian elites of their loyalty to Vietnam. Hun Sen’s two sisters and a top Cambodian Defence official are thrilled to receive Vietnamese third highest medals of honour for their outstanding achievement in “military espionage” and their “patriotism to Cambodia”.

A few know what these espionage and achievements entail; but whatever they are, they must benefit Vietnam to warrant such high accolades. It would be ridiculous for Vietnam to decorate someone who would do damages to its interest. The Cambodian elites, however, may never wonder why Vietnam would bestow such praises for their patriotism to Cambodia, unless the two nations are practically amalgamated.

Ho could almost smell the success from his grave. One of these elites proclaims Vietnamese people love and respect Cambodian government officials like their parents. This means the Cambodian officials will ensure more of their Vietnamese children are born and bred as locals. It is an assimilation process at its best.

And the advent of the Asean Economic community (AEC), due in 2015, could not be more blessing for Vietnam. First, Cambodia has tolerated an education system that does not depend on brain power for jobs. While students are worried about their professional career in the AEC environment, Premier Hun Sen expects Cambodian labourers working abroad to pick up technological skills there and bring them home. He proposes Korea take many more than the present 35,000 Cambodian labourers without imposing any upper limit. With another 700,000 Cambodian labourers in Thailand, according to Hun Sen’s thinking, Cambodia is ready for the AEC, despite these labourers doing manual work rejected by locals, earning chicken feed, if not being exploited.

Second, Vietnam could not wait to officially send into Cambodia their graduates in engineering, nursing, architecture, surveying, medicine, dentistry, accounting, and hospitality to compete against Cambodian returnees from their work stint abroad. These are the eight professions the AEC allows under its “free” flow of skilled labour. This free flow is, indeed, still subject to local laws and regulations; and Cambodia has a labour law that limits a maximum proportion of foreign workers to 10% of any entity.

Whether Hun Sen’s thinking is naive or not, eternal patron Vietnam can always get him to bend the rule so that it can provide Hang Chuon Naron as many technical and engineering graduates as he wants. After all, it is only natural – if not obligatory – that the parents whom Vietnamese people adore will not let their Vietnamese offspring down.

This is another gigantic nail Cambodian elites allow Ho’s descendants to drive into the Khmer coffin.

The Viets worked it all out almost 200 years ago what made Cambodians tick. Vietnamese General Truong Minh Giang reported below to Emperor Minh Mang in 1834. And the Cambodians have not since changed much, besides thinking they are now smarter with their PhDs.


"After studying the [Cambodian] situation, we [Vietnamese] have decided that Cambodian officials only know how to bribe and be bribed. Offices are sold; nobody carries out orders; everyone works for his own account."
