Opposition Leader Sam Rainsy's clarifications on the visit of the Sultan of Brunei in Cambodia

Dear KI-Media,

In a news titled "Sam Rainsy on Sultan of Brunei visit: It's a visit of an unimportant dictator of an authoritarian regime" (April 4, 2007), I was misquoted and mistranslated. Speaking originally in Khmer, I basically answered three questions:

- First question: What do you think of the Sultan's visit to Cambodia?

Answer: Whatever helps strengthen/improve relationship between Cambodia and other countries, is a good thing.

- Second question: Is this visit a very important event?

Answer: I don't think so. We have more pressing concerns.

- Third question: What Brunei can give to Cambodia?

Answer
: With their beggar mentality, the current Cambodian government may ask some money from the Sultan, who is one of the world's richest persons (oil money). But Brunei is not an example for Cambodia to follow. It is an absolute monarchy, with no parliament, no system of checks and balances, and the Sultan is actually a dictator.

Sincerely,

Sam Rainsy

i don't understand why SR should resort to such bad language.

Please do not imitate Hun Sen.

Please try to be a little bit more diplomatic in your statement to the press.

otherwise, you are going to turn a lot of people off, including myself.

It is in doubt that why Brunei's king comes to congratulate CPP this time.

Both countries are trying to tie close coorporation of dictorship or what?

CPP can do everything for $$$ to inject CPP for 90 years in power of Hun Sen.

I don't think Sam Rainsy should interfer other country internal affairs while he is still an opposition party. What happen if he become a leader of a country? Cambodian will loose all their neighbour friends? Which country can we trade our goods and serviices? USA? not that easy to one single country !!! Please think about international public relationship. They are just as good as local public relationship !!!

a well paid jobs to all khmers
that he has claimed. I mean without
trade from China, Vietnam,
Malaysia, ..., and/or Brunei.

There is nothing wrong with telling the truth. The sultan has robbed the wealth from his people.All brunei's oilfields are his.

Mr. Sam Rainsy ain't no God just a simple human being and we as human make all kind of mistakes!!!It take no brainer in mankind to understand that!!!

Those people who said Mr. Sam Rainsy can't make any kind of mistake is a fool!!

In dealing with other country Cambodia will bound to be in conflict with certain interest but other field such business and economic doesn't have to be inconflict!!!

I were a business person and I don't give a fuck about politic as long as I make a profit!!!I will tell you! Business people are much smarter than politician!!!

It is the business people who buy politician not the other way around! Money talk baby!!Now show me some money and I will talk some more!!!!ahahahahahhahahahahahahah!

Please don't hold Mr. Sam Rainsy as God!!!

I don't want to play expert here!Ok! But thank you for the asking!
So here is my answer!

When you said the word "business" it is too general!!!You have to be more specific!!! I believe in any business activities there must be some form of control by the government! The consumers or people need to be protect too!!!

Now tell me!! How long can any business last when the fucken business is looking down or abusing their costumers or people??? This fucken business won't last less than a year!!!

In my view, the only businesses that are very abusive toward the customers or the people are big, big, and big cooperation or conglomerates!!!You need to understand that big cooperation don't have to answer to no one and not even to God!!!

So the stupid Cambodian government must make it clear to all these big cooperations and conglomerates that if they want to do businesses in Cambodia and they must obey by the rule of Cambodia!!!

Big cooperations or conglomerates love a stupid dictator like AH HUN SEN who had limited out look for the well being of Cambodia and Cambodian people!!!Do you see now!! As long as AH HUN SEN stay in power there will be more abuse done by these so called big companies, cooperations and conglomerates!!!

The land grabbing in Cambodia is a form of abuse by big businesses which forced Cambodian people off their land without fair compensation!!!This kind of abuse need to be stopped!!!!

What planet are you from, moron?
On this planet, politicians are
government. I mean the one in
control, not losers like Sam
Rainsy. So if I bought
politicians, I bought the
government. Moreover, I ain't
buying no government for the fun
of it. I bought them for my own
benefit or profit. That means I'll
have control over those I bought.
Does that answered you question
of bussiness control the
government that they've bought,
you space-aged fool?

Listen AH LOP LOP! Do you think you can buy every politician? Hell no! Sam Rainsy is a good example of that which can't be bought with money!!And Even if you can buy the politician and do you think you can control them???Hell no!!!And example would be AH Okna Tan Seng Hak, he got his ass sent to Prey Sar prison by AH HUN SEN!!!To let you know fool! AH Okna Tan Seng Hak bought his position from AH HUN SEN government for $100,000!!!AH HUN SEN don't give a fuck and sent this bastard Tan Seng Hak to prison anyway!!!!Man! So much for your buying power!!!

Hey fool! You got your logic all twist up and I hope you can go far in life!!!!It is you who is the real space-age fool!!!ahhahahahhah

Talk to me baby!!!!ahahhahaha

Sam Rainsy can't be bought? No
wonder why he's nothing more than
dog shit. In the real world all
winning politicians have been
bought and controlled, fools.

Of course my logic is all twisted up, but that is because you live
in a looney word, you space-aged
moron.
