This project is not a national goal of the government. But as a Khmer
person, I have the rights to submit to other fellow compatriots the
notion of further upgrading the standard of living of our countrymen
in Srok Khmer. Without some plan, communication and mental activities
on going forward into the future, people are reluctant to think about
human progress in general.
Just like an ugly frog who lives in a well, it keeps croaking without
producing any meaningful results.
But plans, actions and movement are nature of the mind. If the mind is
distilled with the truth, it will have a vision. And if it has a
notion, then it can work on to secure a brighter future instead
grinding itself into natural oblivion at the end of a long struggle.
So, happiness is a process of mental rumination on a larger scale of
mental and moral activity.
We do not have any econometric table to back it up or statistical data
to project about the future. All we have is just a vision, a plan and
a thought process. But for a will that projects and ruminates, it will
keep on the labor of love and enticement of the human mind.
So, a per capita income of at least $1,100 for the people of Cambodia
by the end of year 2011 would not be a difficult project.
Some 70% of the folks are living in the countryside. If they can go
about to earn around 5 dollars per day, then the statistical
probability of achieving that goal is within easy reach.
If Srok Khmer is a city, then action and planning are much easier. But
it's a country where folks enjoy living, freedom of thoughts and
decent human relationship, then the challenge and opportunity are also
much harder.
However, it's not an impossible feat.
There are several ways to get at the problem and they say that half of
the time in finding the answer is not necessary in the work to get at
the solution. The real trick to problem resolution is getting the
right question to begin with.
If we use econometric tables and the stochastic process, the amount of
data that is required for such a prognostic would be voluminous and
the cost would be extremely exorbitant. The time that takes to get at
the resolution would be impractical, meaning that folks will get there
before they will have the answer. The year 2011 is just around the
corner. So, the impracticality of time and cost expenditure in terms
of money, competence and human resources would be a challenge that is
almost insurmountable.
Econometric table and stochastic process are laborious and data
intensive. Moreover, they require extraordinary competence, larger
budget and impossible human resource under an impossible condition of
ethical practice.- Hide quoted text -

In the work to discover America, Christopher Columbus posited a wrong
question and took him several decades to get at the answer. Besides,
he needed the King to approve his adventure and appropriate the
budget. It was a very risky idea and time consuming.
Fortunately, America is not India, as we have come to find out in the
end. The serendipity of the exercise, however, is marvelous, as we've
come to witness in later centuries.
But we're not here to rediscover America. The original problem is how
to increase the per capita income of folks in Cambodia to around $1100
by year 2011.- Hide quoted text -

If we use the Pareto law of distribution, we should be able to get at
the economics as much as at the demographic at the same time.
See how simple it is. So, getting to the solution would be a piece of
cake by just simply standing up on someone else's shoulder and looking
at the right direction. That in a nutshell is a 50% resolution to the
initial question of this post.
