Pity the PM

Pity the PM. He cannot go out and have noodles like everybody else. He cannot go shopping in Soriya or Lucky. It's no fun!

Others go to the Soriya market, the Lucky market, unlucky me only, I never get to go anywhere like others, if I were to go, wouldn’t there be a riot at the market? Therefore, all I can do is watch commercials [on TV]. Some people and a number of our government officials, they can go to the market, go out to eat noodles, drink coffee, as for me, when I want noodle, the time I get it, it’s already stale, what to do? [For me] to go to a hotel, it has to be a reception for guest. (Source)

Sounding like a petulant child, the PM moans about how hard it is to be him. It's hard to rule a country for 30 years and yet he plans to stay another 30 either as PM himself as he has indicated before or as the power behind the post as he is implying now. It's hard to keep your relatives happy without appointing them to political office.

Then again there are certain advantages to being PM too. He's got first crack at the oil, 3G and kickbacks in addition to the usual corruption.

Pity the PM - the people would riot if he went to the market.

ummm xcuse me id like 2 interject 'n question the validity of 1 of ur st8ed factz. ahem. The Hunster has only been in POW!er since 1997 before that he was shar'un all nice like. He had a brief spurt in the 80s but can u relly blame him 4 it - his poetry could never support his family, so he has to ply his other trade. Strangleholds.

Text talk Bryn? Seriously?

The Hunster has been in power since 1993 but shared power with Ranariddh until 1997. He was a co prime minister. Co power is still power just not absolute power which as we all know corrupts absolutely...
