[asianamericanromance] Food shortage

Hun Sen: Orec can solve world hunger

Phnom Penh (Agencies) - Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said on
Monday that the Opec-style rice cartel proposed by Thailand would
ensure global food security, not increase hunger and poverty as
critics say.

Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej said last week there was an agreement
in principle to form what he calls Organisation of Rice Exporting
Countries by Burma, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. The Mekong-region
nations hope they can run a group similar to the oil cartel Opec.

Hun Sen said during a university graduation ceremony in Phnom Penh
that the cartel would never try to manipulate markets like Opec. It
would only seek to ensure global food security.

"We will not only ensure food security in each of our own countries,
but will help solve the entire problem of (food) shortages across the
region and the world," Hun Sen said.

"When there are shortages, we will not stockpile the rice or increase
prices," the premier said. "We really want to help ensure food
security."

The Asian Development Bank said it hated the idea. Senior Philippines
officials have blasted the proposal as "anti-poor", designed to
increase hunger and poverty.

Hun Sen urged them to stop. "The formation of the organisation is not
meant to strangle the throats of countries that do not have rice," he
said.

The five proposed members of the cartel will discuss the organisation
at regional talks in October, Hun Sen said, adding that the Mekong
river nations would export up to 15 million tonnes of rice a year -
10 million by Thailand.

Hun Sen last week appealed to farmers to grow more rice in order to
profit from the increased global food crisis.

Most of the rice Gina buys is home grown.
Some of the imported rice is being rationed in stores near us.

[asianamericanromance] Re: Hello, I am John and new to the group.

Martin,
There is nothing in your Yahoo! profile. I like to have a recent photo
to look at and the age.
The nearast I know of now is in the Northwest suburbs.
As far as I know she is still single and has recently become a legal
resident of the USA.
Here is the story as best I know:
Her sister stopped a man that jogged past her home often. She only knew
what he told her.
She told him about her sister in Northern China that she would like
have marry a man here.
He went to visit her and they got along fine.
He returned here and pretended to both sisters that he wanted to marry
her.

Let me tell a little about the man now.
A group of about 10 men would often gather in the business place of a
Filipino in late afternoon. The man and I were part of the group. He
had a reputation of being perverted.
We believed at one time he was the principle of a school somewhere in
the East and lost his job for messing with the girl students.
He would brag to our group about having the girl come here but he was
not going to marry.

Back to the story:
She came to the USA with the help of her sister.
She moved in with the man. She did not stay long with him. We thought
she was she was in Chinatown but she told me later she was with her
sister.
The man became very sick and she returned to nurse him.
He died. She thought she would return to China but decided to get
information from our immigration people. With the help of references
from friends she has been granted residence in the USA.

I am not up to date on her love life. My wife, Gina, would know but
Gina will be in France for 2 more weeks.

The girl works in a small Chinese restaurant near our home but I have
never been there. Gina brings carry-outs for me.
The 2 sisters are good friends of Gina.
