CAMBODIA PM HOUSE & THE MONEY FROM AUSTRALIA & WHAT THE PMIN AUSTRALIA HOUSE COMPARES  

 

 

Capital: Phnom Penh. Has a  population of around 14.8 million and many people are very poor. In fact Cambodia receives a lot of International aid which was stopped due to the enormous corruption of Government officials which is still the norm today 2010. Religion: The official religion is Theravada Buddhism, as is also practiced in Thailand, Burma, Laos and Sri Lanka. About 90% of Khmers are of this religion. The country also has minority religions of about half a million Muslims, and 60,000 Christians. Local Time: is 7 Hours ahead of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).

POPULATION OF CAMBODIA & INCOME


Cambodia has a population of 14,805,000 people as at July 2010 & $US 805 per person per year Australia population 22,410,165 people & $US38,910 per person per year so when you get statistics like that you would think owing a house in Cambodia would be just well normal but check this out below. 10% of Cambodia's annual GDP is lost to corruption, signifying pervasive and large scale corruption.

 

BHP paid US$2.5 million in "tea-money" 'which never appeared in the government books, which never built a single school or an irrigation channel as promised'. The money was part of a deal to mine bauxite in Mondulkiri province, and the payment was meant to go to building infrastructure. But somehow, BHP lost control of the money. Nothing at all was ever built with the money. http://www.smh.com.au/business/bhps-tea-money-missing-in-cambodia-20100514-v4fs.html



Australia's aid to Cambodia is projected to total around A$ 54.5 million in 2008???? and now in 2019 China has a vast interest to build the silk road initiative right thru Vietnam, Laos etc

 

The UN UNICEF building in Phnom Penh have wasted loads of money on giant salaries. The UN should be staffed by unpaid volunteers. We have heard stories of UN workers staying at homes and booking & getting chips for expensive stays in Hotels.

COMPARE THE HOUSE OF HUN SEN

 

 

HUNDREDS of thousands of dollars of Australian aid is wasted on expatriate salaries and the running costs of big Cambodian-based international aid groups, hindering assistance to 40,000 landmine victims in the war-battered country. A country director for an international charity receives a $250,000 package that includes a spacious villa, four-wheel-drive and schooling perks. Up to 80 per cent of aid paid to international aid organisations based in Cambodia goes straight out again in the form of high expatriate salary packages and running costs, said Chris Minko, head of the Cambodian National Volleyball League for the Disabled. He said AusAID's reluctance to directly fund non-Australian aid organisations in Cambodia had created major inefficiencies in the disbursement of funds.

with THAT OF JULIA GILLARD THE AUSTRALIA PM

Cambodian officials pocketed money designated for specific aid programs, the World Bank alleges. Though Prime Minister Hun Sen denied it, the wporld bank and others felt otherwise. Money was being siphoned from funds intended to support a project for the demobilization of about 30,000 soldiers, and the Cambodian government agreed to pay back US$2.8 million after the World Bank threatened to withhold further aid. Since then, the World Bank and the rest of Cambodia's donors have kept a close eye on their aid money. In December 2004, official donors promised to give the nation US$504 million in 2005 if it attempted to eradicate corruption and could show its progress. Hun Sen did nothing.

In June 2006, the Bank again cited corruption and money grafting as the reasons for its withdrawal of funds from three key programs. It cancelled 43 contracts worth US$11.9 million, US$7.6 million of which was earmarked for major projects on infrastructure, water and sanitation, and government bureaucracy. The programs would have provided employment and aid for thousands of impoverished people.

Hun Sen proclaimed innocence, joking to his top officials in public, "If something is found to be wrong, I will cut your throat." He and the government refused to return any money because they refused to confess any corruption. At the same time, however, Sen's officials arrested for embezzlement several local officers in charge of the aid programs but these are the minors in the scams!!!!

But in June 2009 international donors pledged 1.1 billion U.S. dollars in aid for this year, up from last year’s 950 million dollars. In the meantime 1/3 of the population live on the poverty line and life has got no better propped up by the doners.
