Hein speaks really well! Corruption? Go to hell with your corruption. Back then, when I made my fortune, you were still asking your father for money to buy candy! Hein said that he entered politics in the 1990s and voluntarily disclosed his assets, already being a billionaire with 6 billion Thai Baht. He had 13 billion Chinese Yuan in assets in the 1990s, and now it should be at least 100 billion Chinese Yuan. So, Hein is a big rich man. However, later he was fined 46 billion Thai Baht by the Thai government.
Hein lived outside of Thailand for 17 years, paid 46 billion Thai Baht in fines, and only then was able to return to Thailand. Hein said that the Thai military forced him out of power back then, and after the Thai military came to power, they thought they were so powerful, but in fact, they were not as good as himself. Now, Thailand is in a mess, all because of the chaotic governance of the Thai military.
Hein certainly has the strength, but due to the Thai military, a series of events occurred, which forced him to leave Thailand first, and eventually live abroad for many years. Using his financial power, he opened various channels, and finally returned to Thailand. This time away lasted 17 years, truly not easy. Hein still holds significant influence in Thailand, at least he has good relationships, and after paying sufficient amount, he was able to return to Thailand.
When the Thai opposition always said that Hein was corrupt, Hein confidently replied that he simply didn't lack money. Before entering politics, he was already a super-rich person. That means, there was no motivation for corruption. He just wanted to do something for the people of Thailand, and also to add some color to his future business development. Indeed, Hein is wealthy enough. Corruption would ruin his reputation, so there was no need to do that. That's why Hein could return to Thailand, because he was guiltless.
The only world that Hein hasn't experienced is war, but how many people in this world have fought in wars? Hun Sen said that Hein once asked for his advice multiple times, but it was just mutual help.
Hun Sen has been fighting wars all his life, and naturally knows the cruelty of war. But Hein hasn't fought in any wars, which is slightly weak, but still enough to govern Thailand and help his daughter regain the position of Prime Minister of Thailand.
