Prime Minister Hun Sen calls on members of the royal family Monday, to submit a legal binding bill into law banning themselves from politics.
Prime Minister Hun Sen's latest comment followed by retired King Norodom Sihanouk's announcement last week, for royalists to not incite conflict with Prime Minister Hun Sen along with top government officials, such as CPP president Chea Sim and National Assembly president Heng Samrin. Furthermore, the former Cambodian king suggested that royals should remove themselves from politics altogether.
At Chaktokmouk Hall in Phnom Penh, the Cambodian prime minister tells reporters that he does not want to bar the royalists from politics, because the decisions should come from them. However, he says that should they agree to it, the bill of proposal should be submitted before the country's 2008 election.
Prince Sisowath Thomico, leader of Sangkum Jatiniyum Front Party (SJFP) says that if royal members were not involved in politics, then Cambodia would not have been given its independence in 1953 from France and from Vietnam in 1991.
NGO Licadho's director, Pung Chhiv Kek says that the only way to ban royal family members from doing politics in the country is to have a national referendum.

Stop spamming, ah Svakrava.
smile in a heart of darkness
Evidentially, to this Viet suicidal commando @6:57AM everyone on KI is spamming. He must have been given too much of that stinky Phu Quoc Nuoc Mam (Koah Trol fish sauce) thus getting too drunk and failing miserably to carry out his mission to Vietnamize KI-Media.
Vietcong Go Home!
Stupid spam again.
As an intellectual person, I strongly agreed, the Cambodian royal families shoud be out of politic. And I also strongly agreed what the royal families of other countries are doing now aday in this current world. Therefore, I do hope that faces, values, dignities, prestiges, reputations, and honours of the Cambodian royal families would be recovered and fully respected agian.
Agreed!
Agreed, too1
VN PHD
disagreed!
Why?
It is your right to say that you are disagreed this time. However, it is very logical to remind that very soon someday, ordinary of Cambodian people may stage a revolution to force the Cambodian royal families to be out of politic by law. Then, as high class people in the society, who is going to lose everything? Is it Cambodian royalty families or ordinary people?
Yeah, very possible, but I hope
they don't condemn innocent people
along with it. The right thing to
do will be to rout out the rotten
apples.
