SOPHOAN, SENG (President)
Sophan’s “I don’t know how to call myself within the contemporary political sphere. But as I can realize who I am, I am very liberal! Buddha has influenced me to be an independent seeker of enlightenment by following a bondable road-map. Avoiding from idle chit-chat and gullible listener, thus I called myself “liberal”; avoiding from attaching myself to any theory or practice extremely, thus I called myself “liberal”; avoiding from indulging in self-mortification and materialism, thus I called myself “liberal”; diffusing the grassroots participation to overhaul democracy, thus I called myself “very liberal”.”
HOA P., SON (Vice President) BRENDON, KIM (Assistant of Vice President)
Hoa’s “Any intelligent fool can make thing bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage – to move in an opposite direction said by Albert Einstein. Because of our worse past, that is why we need to work on our present to change ourselves for a better future. And change takes great COURAGE!!! Be brave to change if we want a better flouture.”
