Ranariddh To Quit Teaching and Focus on party

By Yun Samean
THE CAMBODIA DAILY

"I would like to inform Nhiek Bun Chhay that he could steal
my party but he could not steal my supporters' hearts."
—Prince Ranariddh
Looking revitalized and talking tough. Prince Norodom Ranariddh announced Monday that he will quit his university teaching position in France so he can focus on his renewed political efforts in Cambodia.

The prince also urged Funcinpec officials in the Senate, National Assembly and government to jump ship and join his proposed new Norodom Ranariddh Party.

"I will go to my university where I have been teaching for more than 30 years to ask to resign, and will come back to Cambodia to do only politics," Prince Ranariddh told a press conference at Phnom Penh's Hotel Le Royal.

Prince Ranariddh teaches law and political science for two months each year in the French town Aix-en-Provence, his public affairs adviser Ok Socheat said. The prince will soon travel to France to officially tender his resignation, Ok Socheat added.

Prince Ranariddh also warned that if the Interior Ministry does not register his new party, he will officially join Prince Sisowath Thomico's Sangkum Jatiniyum Front Party.

"If I don't receive permission on time [for April's commune election] I will accept the presidency of Prince [Thomico's] party," he said. Prince Thomico sat by Prince Ranariddh during the news conference but did not address reporters.

Prince Ranariddh also took a swipe at Funcinpec Secretary-General Nhiek Bun Chhay, who convened the Funcinpec congress that ousted the prince as party presidency Oct 18.

"I would like to inform Nhiek Bun Chhay that he could steal my party but he could not steal my supporters' hearts," Prince Ranariddh said.

He then did impersonations of Nhiek Bun Chhay, and described him as a "giant card [game] loser."

Prince Ranariddh also thanked Prime Minister Hun Sen for helping Nhiek Bun Chhay end his presidency, saying the move helped identify the prince's loyalists inside Funcinpec.

"Prime Minister Hun Sen helped us to clean out the traitors," the prince said, before predicting a bright future for his new party.

"We have strong feet and the head is also good. But the body is not healthy yet," he said.

Prince Ranariddh said he will never join Hun Sen's ruling CPP in a coalition again, and that working with the party would amount to "political suicide."

"[The CPP] don’t want to cheat us anymore. They have the Sam Rainsy Party and Nhiek Bun Chhay," he said.

Government spokesman and Information Minister Khieu Kanharith said the CPP is not concerned whether Prince Ranariddh joins future coalition governments.

"If he wants to be an opposition party let him be an opposition party," he said.

Funcinpec spokesman Nouv Sovathero said his party's officials are unlikely to be in a rush to quit their government positions to join Prince Ranariddh.

"They won't risk following Prince Norodom Ranariddh," he said. "The leader led the party into decline," he said.

But Prince Ranariddh's new party has the potential to divide Funcinpec's slice of the national vote, said Hang Puthea, director of the Neutral and Impartial Committee for Free Elections in Cambodia.

"The prince could be good at leading an opposition party because he used to be in government and he knows the government's weak points," he said.

The prince seems to be happy for Hun Sen helped him to clean CPP supporters out of his party but he forgets that the next thing he knows there are many more CPP supporters in his new party and Thomico as well.

To 5:27PM

You are so fucken coward that why you are using P.O. Box? Come one man! Give your true address!ahahahahahh

I will tell you what!There are no such thing as Khmer Yankee! But there are such thing as Cambodian Freedom Figther (CFF) ahahahahah!

Cambodia is too beautiful to be left alone and every Cambodian people want it! So what about a Vietcong like you? Does any Vietcong want Cambodia too? You see the Vietcong have this concept of fighting the Chinese for a thousand year to gain their freedom! Cambodian people had adapted the same idea to fight the Vietcong for a thousand year to free the Khmer Krom!

The French handed the Khmer Krom to the Vietcong in 1949 and now in 2006 and that is only 57 years passed! The Vietcong need to understand the gravity of the situation with the Khmer Krom and this is only the begining! The Vietcong had been promoting trade which claimed to be in the billion of dollars and annexed more of Cambodian land illegal treaty and through military force and tell me does it really bring peace? It is in the belief of the Vietcong mentality that everything they did for AH HUN SEN will bring peace! The Vietcong is only making peace with AH HUN SEN and not with Cambodian people!

The talk will go on against the Vietcong aggression on Cambodia!

The fight will go on against the Vietcong domination over million and million of Khmer Krom people with no basic human right!

The fight will go on against the AH HUN SEN VIETCONG COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP in Cambodia!

It will go on forever.....

Now even your beautiful wife and daughter don't follow you, how can other be honest to you and confident in you??

Why would he keep a teaching post in France while being elected as prime-minister in the 90s?

How can he teach while working in Cambodia? What kind of University would leave a teaching post "open" during his time of absent?

He does not seem to take either job seriously...Is he serving French people or Khmer people...?

HI KI-MEDIA AND ALL !

AFTER ONE WEEK OF TENSE AND RUDE DISCUSSION BETWEEN " THE PATRIOT & OWN SHADOW", OUR SURVEY CAME TO A FINAL CONCLUSION AS FOLLOWS:
1- ON KI-MEDIA PROFESSIONALISM OF CREATING AND REPORTING ABOUT POLITICS IN CAMBODIA:
-(i)FIRSTLY, YOUR REPORTS ARE RELEVANT AND CONFORM WHAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN IN THE PRESS ABOUT CAMBODIA POLITICS. THAT IS GOOD FOR ALL OF US KHMER LIVING INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE MOTHERLAND.
-(ii)IN YOUR TITLE IN ORANGE, YOU INTENDED TO SHOW YOUR POLITICAL PARTY' S CHOICE. IT IS NOT A PROBLEM BECAUSE FREEDOM OF BELIEF AND IT IS YOUR POLITICAL RIGHT TO SUPORT MR. SAM RAINSY' S PARTY.
-(iii) IN ORDER TO BE MORE PROFESSIONAL IN THE NET, IS KI-MEDIA LOOKING FOR A NEW DIRECTION?

2- ON KI-MEDIA READERS AND SUPPORTERS:

(i) WE CONCLUDED THAT MOST OF THE READERS AND SUPPORTERS LIVE ABROAD:US, AUSTRALIA, CANADA ETC...
(ii) DURING OUR ONE WEEK SURVEY, WE USED STRONG LANGUAGES AND WE APOLOGY IF WE MAY OFFENCE BUT IT WAS PURELY INTEND TO TEST THE WATER AND GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE KNOWLEDGE, EDUCATION AND CULTURE OF ALL OF US.
(iii) THE SURVEY SHOWS THERE ARE TWO CATEGORIES OF READERS:
- THE FIRST GROUP OF READERS ARE VERY SERIOUS ABOUT THEIR COMMENTS, VERY POLITE AND BALANCED VIEWS: THEY ARE CULTIVATED AND EDUCATED... BRAVO!
THEIR VIEWS COULD BE AS A LESSON FOR ALL AND THE SAKE OF THE COUNTRY. THEY ARE BRAVE AND PATRIOTIC. CAMBODIA IS PROUD OF THEM!!!!
- THE SECOND GROUP OF READERS ARE MORE OR LESS PATHETIC ABOUT GIVING COMMENTS ABOUT POLITICS IN CAMBODIA: TOO MUCH PASSION OF HATE BECAUSE OF POLITICS AND NOT ENOUGH MATURITY, EDUCATION, KNOWLEDGE AND CULTURE. THEY MUST LEARN ABOUT THE SOCIAL WAY OF BEING A RESPECTABLE KHMER WITH OUR OWN WAY OF SAVOIR-VIVRE, OF COURTESY AND KINDNESS. PLEASE TRY TO FORGET ABOUT THE NEGATIVE ASPECT OF LIFE ABROAD AND GET MORE IN CONTACT WITH THE PREACHING AND LEARNING OF BUDDHISM. YOU WILL BE MORE RESPECTFUL BY YOUR OWN ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIETY.

IN CONCLUSION, WE AGAIN APOLOGY FOR THE ONE WEEK SURVEY THAT WE CONCLUDED RIGHT NOW.

LONG LIVE TO CAMBODIA AND CAMBODIAN LIVING INSIDE OR OUTSIDE!

STRONG LINKS AND BONDS OF SOLIDARITY BETWEEN KHMER AND KHMER!

MUTUAL RESPECT FOR THE SAKE OF THE MOTHERLAND!

THANK YOU FOR READING US! PLEASE FEEL FREE TO AGREE OR DISAGREE, OR TO INSULT. THIS IS JUST A SURVEY!!!!!!!

Ranarith, The true, you are the traitor. You should ask yourself who betrayed SRP in 1998 and 2003. I recommend you that the best way you should keep you wealth to live in outside Cambodia, otherwise you are going to loose everything and it can be your life after election. That is the result of your betray again and again. A traitor you are.
