Hello Khmer Circle The singer's voice can be Sin Sisamouth I greatly admire the photos of the Khmer peasant life, a cart drawn by oxen, cottage, rice and Small children are very natural and poetic beauty alive is the Khmer cultural identity and I'm afraid if the policy today begins to destroy the ancestral way of life and replace it with life robotics.

Yes, the threat to traditional, rural way of life is a real cause for concern to all of us who appreciate the simplicity and beauty of a self-sustained existence that may no longer survive the forces of change brought about by rapid urbanisation and commercialisation taking place across the globe, including Cambodia.
As a late developer in economic, industrial terms - due to political and social upheavals in recent past decades, Cambodia can at least draw upon some of the experiences and lessons provided by other countries [including those in SE Asia] if she wishes to pursue a more balanced model of socio-economic development.
Sadly, the signs are not very encouraging - to put it kindly - when one looks at issues like land concessions granted to commercial interests, deforestation, which has seen the country's primary forest stock virtually decimated, and so forth.
Anyhow, it is incumbent upon policy-makers to acknowledge the threat and neutralise the danger through taking urgent remedial measures. Failing that, the nation may stand to lose a lot more than these dwindling remains of traditional rural life as our ancestors had known and passed down to us all to protect and preserve.
