What a patriotic beatiful speech from Mr. Sam Rainsy. I just love the way he speaks the Khmer language. I find it amazing that I can still have enough Khmer vocabulary words and listening skills in tact to actually understand Mr. Sam Rainsy's address. As a successful private family man, Mr. Sam Rainsy does not ever need to be harrassed and hated by the dictatorial power addicts of Cambodia. But for he loves the Cambodians in general too much that he offer himself to be a public servant to serve and protect the mass of Cambodia. He is charismatic and unwavering in his commitment to improve the lives of the population. Grounded in democratic principles and values, Mr. Sam Rainsy is poised to guarantee the population of Cambodia with "liberty, justice, and equity". I think under the leadership of Mr. Sam Rainsy, the Cambodian economy and progress will surely grow, and every Cambodian will get to participate in it, enjoying the benefits for themselves and their families.

Thank you KI Media for attaching the video clips for the visiting readers.

The Sam Rainsy Party deserves a chance to serve, protect, and improve Cambodia in the next national election. Cambodia needs a new blood in her government. I for one will support Mr. Sam Rainsy for his integrity, leadership, and committment to the interests of Cambodia and the Cambodian people.

I hope Mr Samraingsy sera as heroe
as Mrs Aung San SU kyi promises not to collaborate with the traitor HONg SEN at any circumstance no any excuse. I have
always admire him as a patriote and a hero and think he is only one and unic and last hope to save Cambodia from the bloodthirsty and mole Vietnamese HONG SEN and the colonialist Vietnam .
Please don't kill our hope. Cambodia and all the miserible Khmer need you and only you.

Sihanouk had destroy Cambodia and now he continue to do it. He doesn't mind if one day Cambodia will be Chamsa. Cambodia doesn't the king and his family anymore. They have always betrayed us Yhey are all selfish.

I see Mr. Sam Rainsy in the same light as you do. I think if given a chance, his party will take Cambodia and Cambodians to new height. There is no doubt about it. Mr. Sam Rainsy is way unlike Ranaridth who collaborated with dictatorial Hun Sen. I truly believe that whatever Mr. Rainsy does, it is only the means to help him an opportunity to serve the population of Cambodia. He is the man of the hour now and in the future. If I could vote, I will vote for his party.

I, too, I'm fully support Mr. Rainsy. We have been waiting for the kind of person like this to enter the political arena for along time now. But, since ah Hun Sen has 99.9% of the communes, will he has the chance to win the election?

In the last election, there were so much irregularity in the pole stations. I like Mr. Rainsy to win as well, but I'm more pessimistic because of the Hun Sen cronies are everywhere.

One of Sam Rainsy Party members who currently visited the USA and Canada said that those Cambodian abroad who love liberty, justice and equity for all should convince their relatives inside Cambodia to go to the poll and cast their votes for the Sam Rainsy Party. Through years of abuses and neglects, the great majority of the Cambodian people are fearful and ignorant on many issues and eventualities that would affect their lives and their children's. If anyone understand Maslow pyramid of needs, then one would understand how the Cambodian minds operate. The Cambodians just want peace so that they can briefly enjoy their short life span. It has been noticed by foreign observers that it seems to be a national characteristic of the Cambodians to be of short-term only, never a long-term investment. Sam Rainsy party is the only long term investment that Cambodians must know about and vote for.

Sam Rainsy is never like Ranaridth. Sam Rainsy is a lot smarter than Ranaridth. Only Sam Rainsy knows the true nature of Hun Sen. There is quite a similarity between Hun Sen and Pol Pot. Let me begin with Pol Pot. To achieve his ultimate goal, he embraces everyone. Pol Pot welcomed the supporters from Hanoi, VietCong, Sihanouk, peasants, and professionals. However, when his goal was achieved and he consolidated the power, Pol Pot quickly decided to liquidate those who were not originally of his inner circle. So as a result, Pol Pot started killing off the supporter from Haoi, supporters from Sihanouk's faction, some well-to-do peasants and professionals. Similarly, Hun Sen first invited left-over Lon Nol's former officers to serve in his administration. Then before long, Hun Sen started dismissing them one by one in drove from their positions. In 1993, Rannaridth was forced to join team with Hun Sen. However, Hun Sen led a successful coup detate to depose Rannaridth. Then again in 2003, Rannaridth joined team with Hun Sen again. Rannaridth submissively followed Hun Sen's orders and mocked Mr. Sam Rainsy and even wished to see Mr. Sam Rainsy in Prey Sar Prison. Now what is happening? Hun Sen is up to his old trick again. Now Hun Sen is dismissing FUNCINPEC left and right from their positions. Just like Pol Pot who mainted his personal special troops, Hun Sen also has personal troops to protect his individual interests. Just like Ta Mok was able to mobilize his troops to counter Pol Pot's forces, one of the military commanders should have the ability to counter Hun Sen's loyal troops.

Yeah, Sam Rainsy is the light, the hope, and the MAN for Cambodia and Cambodians. Mr. Sam Rainsy will uplift the Cambodian spirit and status. In fact he already said that it would take just ten years to turn backward Cambodia into a progressive state in the Southeast Asian region. Mr. Sam Rainsy is committed to make Cambodia the best place for the Cambodians and their children to live and to enjoy. The Sam Rainsy Administration is always ready to serve and protect the nation of Cambodia. Everything has been planned out and ready to put into action to improve the state of Cambodia. What is interesting about the Sam Rainsy Party is that the Administration will be by the people, for the people, and of the people. Just like an abused and neglected child can be turn around into a productive person in society by the right dedicated people, backward Cambodia can be turned around as well. The Sam Rainsy Party is the right and dedicated administration that can turn Cambodia around into the most productive, progressive place for the people to enjoy. Cambodia will rise again to attest to the whole world that the great Khmer glory still glows for eternity.

The Sam Rainsy Party is of the people, by the people, and for the people. Therefore it is logical to cast the vote for Sam Rainy Party. VOTE Sam Rainy in 2008!

Mr. Sam Rainsy,
You are the greatest hero in our present time. Keep fight the good fight and win the next election in 2008. As you already know, there are lots of Khone Khmer (just like you) are standing by and continue to support until we achieved our goal. I strongly believed that soon we will celibrate our victory in our homeland.

Wil he win 2008 election if 99% of cambodian are voting for him?

What the difference of the eclection of 2008 from 2003 and 1998? Can he just come out and say irregularity! Irregularity! but Hun Sen would run the country for another 5 years!

If he won, could he end up in a house arrest, just liked Aung San Su Kyi? and HunG Xen Rule us for another 5 years?

The got the killing power, can you see?

I don't think Sam Rainsy will win the election for 2008

How Mr Sam Rainsy could win the election 2008 if he has only two hands and one mouth to shout while Hun Sen has 5 millions YUONS with Khmer identity cards ready to vote for him. It is really worrying.Our future will be in the dark.
