Despite the tumultous past and the hardship and challenges faced by the Mufti today, he still has not lost his sense of humour.
He told me once that if the Japanese were to come to Cambodia, they would cry in anguish and disapproval. I asked why? The Mufti replied, "The motorcycle from Japan meant to carry 2, now has to carry 5 in the villages and pull 30 in the suburbs!"
I smiled. I know it is a clear indication of inadequacy. At the same time I marvel at the ingenuity and tenacity of a people driven by necessity.
