Prime Minister Hun Sen Thursday publicly warned that if the ruling Cambodian People's Party were to lose in elections, the country would fall into insecurity and instability.
The veiled political warning, which civic leaders immediately refuted, comes just two weeks away from local elections where Cambodians will vote for leaders in more than 1,600 communes—and one day away from the official campaign kick-off.
"If there will be changes, will you be able to have businesses here again? What will happen to you?" Hun Sen asked a crowd at the groundbreaking of a road-construction project in Prey Veng province. "Vendors, artisans and industry workers should think about whether or not they will be able to do business as usual. Will three hundred thousand factory workers and hotel workers be able to have $50 monthly income like now?"
Kul Panha, director of the independent Committee for Free and Fair Elections, said elections meant differences of opinion, but Cambodia's civic structure could withstand a change of party.
During a campaign, candidates "will do anything to capture attention for their parties and their messages," he said of Hun Sen's warning. "Nonetheless, politicians are mature in their observance of political development in Cambodia."
Cambodians witnessed political violence as recently as 1997, when Hun Sen ousted his then co-prime minister, Prince Norodom Ranariddh, in a coup that left more than 100 people dead.
"This is the same old threat that the CPP uses," Son Chhay, a Sam Rainsy Party lawmaker said, "meaning: if the CPP loses the election, there will be war, it will stop building roads, schools, hospitals. This is its method of demagoguery before the election."

Usual liar believes in his own lies.Hun Sen is corrupted since 1985 and more insane than Sihanouk.
He knows,after 20 years in same job , he is totally handicap.
Chea Sim is too afraid of his boss.Heng Samrin is happy where he is at.
Only Ranni is not so happy,since Hun Sen has not been doing his job.
Hun Sen is aliar always a liar. Get lost ah animal hun sen! I hope someday devil come to take you go to hell.
we hear for ourselves from his own word. This party is a party of violence and threats. IT is a party of authoritarian, no one else can share the power, or take over the power, else someone will get hurt.
Now can Khmer people afford to live under such threats? Wake up, we are humans, not slave. Vote for change.
Does this also not imply that Hunsen has some hidden agenda, that he has to complete and if not, war will break lose? What agenda? Hanoi agenda? If so, let the world see it. We Khmer will vote for change and new progress.

get lost all of you .. you all fucked up ... hahaha
The warning of insecurity and instability is a testimony to the absence strong and well functioning state institutions, especially, public administration and the institutions of the rule of law such as the courts and the police. All these institutions are now altogether more like a house of cards held together by the ruling party. When the ruling party is toppled, then this house will fall apart.
Cambodia was a house of cards a couple of times in its recent histroy, in the late 1960s and under the Khmer Rouge between 1975 and 1978. Both these houses of cards fell apart, respectively, when then Head of State Prince Norodom Sihanouk was toppled by his right hand man Lon Nol in March 1970, and when the Vietnamese troops ousted the Khmer Rouge on 25 December 1978.
Visionary leaders build strong and well functioning state institutions, promote the development of a srong civil society and instill nationhood and virtues in their people. When these leaders are gone, and as mortals they all will, those state institutions continue to function under new leaders, and the people continue to be able to look after themselves and their nation.
It is about time Cambodian leaders drew lessons for their country's history. They should set about building strong, well functioning, and honest state institutions: independent courts,and politically independent security forces (police and army) and public administration that would serve the people under any political party.

This is a kind of intimidation Hun Sen always use to gain vote from the rural Cambodians.
Voters haveto think that what kind of instability, who make it and how it is happen?
Only the CPP and Hun Sen are able to make such instabilty because he is thirst for power.
From 1979 to 1991, Hun Sen use gun to keep his postion and after that in 1997 Hun Sen use gun a gain. And he plan to use it again through his speech. All the powe , Hun Sen gain is by Gun.
Bun don't afraid for that. We have an international body like UN to help protect us from the threat CPP pose.

What does Hun Sen think he is now ? so paranoid , so addicted and soaked in power and his clan....thinking he owns and can manipulate anythink he wants in Cambodia ? My guess would be if CPP does lost the election, they will take up arm and threaten to breakaway the eastern part of Cambodia again or even stage a coup as was the case of Burma and Ang Sang Suyi. Another scenario would be that, since most civil and admin organs of the states are so much of CPP, then they will antaginse anyone new who come to power. The lesson of 1993, 1997 and the most recent one 1998 and 2003 should be enough for us to conclude that CPP is nothing but Mafia clan. [Khmer Peasant]
Can someone sue this fucking guy for such irresponsible comments ? Isn't this incitement to voilence in nature ?
Why AH HUN SEN FORMER KHMER ROUGE VIETCONG SLAVE is so afraid of losing the election? AH HUN SEN know too damn well that there are many Vietcong double agents on his payroll and all these Vietcong double agents will out of job!!ahah
AH HUN SEN is fucken smart enough to know that he need a job too! Tell me who doesn't need a fucken decent job! How many Cambodian student graduated from AH HUN SEN UNIVERSITY OR COLLEGE have a fucken job? Does AH HUN SEN even care whether Cambodian student have a job or not?
The fact is AH HUN SEN former Khmer Rouge Vietcong slave don't give a fuck about anybody beside himself! This mother fucker is a fucken hypocrite! Too damn self-serving!
I say just get the fucken rope! Cambodia is way better off without this mother fucker!
I totally agreed with Mr. Son Chhay's comment about the war that Mr. Kwak wants to use if he lost the election. I also agreed with Dr. Lao Mong Hay regarding Khmer like Mr. Kwak doesn't learn about the history. Do you know why he is not paying attention to the history's revolution that toppled the bad leaders all along? Because he is Kwak and illiterate.
Time to change leadership once for all. Otherwise, Khmer empire will be smaller than Connecticut by Black Thai soldiers who now wants to make war with Khmer and by Youn land encroachment.
We need to unite to fight for this devil regime and vote for one person only.
Sihanouk regime almost disappears along with CPP regime from Cambodia. But, he still has 60 rooms palace in Phoung Yang, North Korea, to rule by himself.
Vote for H.R. Mr. Sam Rainsy!
Vote for H.R. Mr. Sam Rainsy!
Vote for H.R. Mr. Sam Rainsy!
Vote for H.R. Mr. Sam Rainsy!
Vote for H.R. Mr. Sam Rainsy!
Kone Khmer Washington DC
Well Cambodia and it people still lived and do business after:
>Khmer Rough
>Vietnam 10 years occupancy
So i dont' think people of Cambodia and other countries will stop during business because Ah Hun Sen and the CPP lost the election.
Dont be afraid of change people of Cambodia..you have nothing to loose by changing and finding a BETTER leader like Sam Rainsy.
You have better chance and opportunities in life....move away from this the CPP(communist)who is in part KR and Vietnam oriented.
ah choi mrai hun shit normally threatens to bring khmer to it knee if he don't win. every election this yuon dog never fail to bthreraten with bloodsheed, war,
that is how he stay in power to 100. despite all hte elction commission stuff, soldier, police, court are on his side he is still not confident.
down with teh yuon dog
khmer knong srok
Hun Sen's culture and value is kompoul thok teab...everytime he said something expressing his vappathor thork teap.
I solemnly tell the international that the vapparthor thork teap of Hun Sen doesn't reflect Khmer people at all.
Khmer people need peace and justice which come from fair competition...Khmer people love justice and fair game...
I don't think that cambodian people are afraid to change, they want change, but the problem is that they are afraid of ah Hun Sen, I think that UN or other countries need to oversee this election, but not fucken Vietcong, tell those mother fucker to get out of my country.
Enough is enough! Hun Sen has been in power for almost half of his life already. There are many talented young Khmer people who are ready to take the leadership role. Hun Sen has not set a very good example for the young. There is no way Cambodia cannot live without Hun Sen. Give an opportunity to someone else then you will see how well she/he can do in front of Hun Sen's eye. Of course Cambodia will collapse if without Hun Sen if he still uses his people to imtimidate others who win the election and his unwillingness to accept his loss. That's all.

OUR NRP (Norodom Ranaridh Party) ALWAYS AHEAD
This shows that Cambodia is a Dictature. If it wasn't, then Hun Sen wouldn't mind to loose the election.
If Hun Sen and his government was really good for his country, people would have everything like you say before me with all the mney he have. If they didn't have any problem to pay about 100 million dollars to get Heng Peo, how much money do they have that they stolled from the country?
AH PLEOU IMPOSTER! JUST GET BACK TO YOUR CAGE AH SEK KMEAN SROK! TRY TO USE YOUR INTELLIGENCE IF YOU HAVE ONE???

Why are Hun Sen and his supporters too violent & IRRATIONAL???
Have these gangsters of Hun Sen ever thought that "nothing is permanent?" or "What comes around goes around?" or "What goes up must come down?"
Words and action must go together.
For those who want change in 2008,please send contribution to the capable opposition campaign fund drive, at own choice.
With enough resource,the opposition groups can get enough votes to form a coalition government in 2008.
sooner or later, cambodian society will change. it is better to change now before everything is deeply rooted. then everything is difficult to dig out.
and without hun sen the world end.

lord buddha help us.. we make hun sen imortal.
Hun Sen is a terrorist. He is worst than Al Qeda leaders Osama Ladin. He will do everything to rule Cambodia for Vietnam. It is time to remove jim at all cost. USA must understand about this terrorist evils who has teerorised Cambodia for the past 30 years.
He will die by heart attack at any night !!!!!!! Down this evils !!!
Political participation is like playing sports. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. All Cambodian politicians must remember this rule. As for the people whose duties are to elect politicians to represent them in government affairs, they must know that they are the ones who have the powers to determine who should be voted into offices and who should be voted out. If you don't like those who are currently holding offices and you despise those who are their challengers, just vote for the ones whom you depise. In this way, you will get what you want--the politicians who will care for your well being.
This is what is called "Smart Decisions", otherwise be prepared to be lorded over by dictator and thugs.
Dang...Are you sure you're "TepThida", I mean literally...? TepThida really knows anything about politics? You're just being funny...lolz
p.s. no reply is necessary please...
Hun Sen, please looked around you and the whole country. Have you done anything that really meaningful for the country? Khmers are full of illiterate and poorer everyday because the citizens can't afford to pay to go for public school. How stupid to make a family to pay for his/her children in order to attend a public school?
The main reason we (Khmers) lack progression and cannot avoid begging to survive because of the leaders are careless in its citizens. When Education are made equally for every citizen, then it is safe to say -- we are moving out of the Stone Age into a Modern Society!
New year, great ideals, new faces and a good government for our khmer people is brilliance and the time is now to vote.
Voting out the corrupt system in government of Cambodian for a better one is a big change and it is a great opportunity of investment for our lives. It's not only a gain will beneficary to each of us, but also indeed for our khmer's children in the future to come.
So we're all must cope within the change and vote for a new clean government which we believe it can & will serve khmer peoples' interests far more better than Mr.Hun Sen.
Buddha said;
It's easy to see the errors of others, but hard to see your own. You winnow like chaff the errors of others, but conceal your own-like a cheat, an unlucky throw. If you focus on the errors of others, constantly finding fault, your effluent flourish-you're far from their ending.(Dhammapada,Mahavagga 252-253)
