Op-Ed: Son Sann Phantom in HRP Politics

23 November 2007
Op-Ed By Kok Sap
Posted Online


Obviously from his November 15, 2007 appeal, Prince Ranaridh former boss of FUNCINPEC and Mr. Kem Sokha was struck with reasons from Ta Son Sann Party phantom fall out and beans spilling. Not only that, he spat on Mr. Sam Rainsy as well. To many at awes, what happens to the rhetorical national interest not individual or group? This alone puts voters in perspective, if not careful, the overconfident HRP President can probably hurt HRP more than help from being an inner clique to Son Sann with short memory lapse that Prince Norodom Ranaridh, Son Soubert and Khieu Samphan were always at the same table as the legitimate lieutenants of the Democratic Kampuchea Coalition Government during Paris-Djakarta secret getting together in the 80's.

To the surprises, Mr. Kem Sokha, the Human Rights Party newly appointed head, expressed his bitterness toward Prince Ranaridh appeal in behalf of his leader Mr. Son Sann, the phantom of monarchy in 1993. Once a CPP insider himself, Mr. Kem Sokha blamed Mr. Ieng Mouly not Mr. Son Sann for the BLDP fall out. However, few knew facts that Mr. Son Sann had arbitrarily conspired to reinstate the bloody monarchy in 1993 without Party consensus. Furthermore Mr. Son Sann had a lot to do with the Progressive BLDP loss. Being critical of others loyalty and transparency, Mr. Kem Sokha has a lot more to explain on himself than any of whom he mentioned including why people despised Mr. Son Sann dishonesty.

In the BLDP fall out, Dr. Lao Mong Hay, once was a very intimate disciple of Son Sann, recent article posted by Khmer Intelligence Blog has punctuated and let up the dark side of Mr. Son Sann long years of opportunism and self serving agendas. There ought to be more that Pundit Lao Mong Hay couldn't have had elaborated from the lessons learned to benefit the aspiring leaders in democracy.

The account also shows besides his 80's fake resistance to monarchy, Mr. Son Sann was one of Sihanouk advisors in the obscured Kampuchea Krom land cessation in 1949 and a saboteur of Khmer Republic government in 1973. The lessons shown all along Khmer tragedies are rooting from Yuon agents who were at the helm of Cambodia. So in this spiteful exchange between Mr. Kem Sokha and the corruptive Prince Ranaridh will there be any merit to the Cambodia politics future?

Like father like son, now Mr. Son Soubert, a PhD in archaeology at Sihanouk green light, is serving on the CPP's Constitutional Magistrate Council. From there he emerged as one of the HRP three powerful committees President. To the contempt of the killing fields victims, Dr. Son Soubert disgraciously went ahead to defend Sihanouk a no longer King but retired common citizen when the question raised over his immunity and crimes against humanity. Dr.Son Soubert was adamantly advocated in his present supreme judiciary capacity that because of the visibility of Sihanouk or Monique was along side with current King portrait in any conspicuous corner of the country, therefore, the royal immunity shall deem legal merit to protect Sihanouk too. This reminds many also how cunningly Mr. Son Sann was in arm twisting Mr. Hun Sen government to return his long abandoned Villa to his possession in 1993. Yet millions lost all to Sihanouk and Yuon patronage but not Mr. Deal Wheeler's. Obviously one can see how so shallow and insulting in both Son Sann and his son behaviors.

In addition Mr. Kiet Sokun, another Son Sann dedicated disciple and autocratic inclined from Australia, has risen from FUNCINPEC ashes to be Prince Thomico White Horse Party lieutenant and now the first Vice President of HRP as well. Besides the three,there are many more who swore to be loyal to Son Sann for life, are in HRP high positions. These are just few that may come back and bite HRP on the hind side during election.

Look from the head down with exception of Comrade Pen Sovann, the obvious Hanoi's Viet Minh disciple, HRP is undeniably an embryonic clone of Ta Son Sann Party. Likely it raises a suspicion whether HRP is sharing not only umbilical cord but else with Ta Son Sann group that has long colluded with FUNCINPEC, which presently is a CPP subservient club. Is it logical, one has to wonder why Mr. Kem Sokha says otherwise?

Son Sann was probably one of the top secret agent among Yuon's secret agents that were deployed into Cambodia to destroy Khmer.

Don't believe? Think again.

Nope, Yuon does not destroy Khmer, only XmerXrom.

Yuons took Champa. Yuons took Kampuchea Krom. Yuons are now in charge of Lao. Yuons are slowly taking over Cambodia.

Due to weak Khmer past and present leadership, Yuons and Siams are slowly "eating up" Khmer. Every piece of lands in Cambodia are belonging to foreigners: mainly to Yuons agents. Every business is being run by foreigners. Every government agency is being infiltrated by Hanoi agents.

Even today Angkor Wat's real estate, Sokimex is running it. Sokimex is Khmer-Yuons owned. Now Yuons are taking over Cambodian telephone business and Rubber plantations.

Yak Yuons have swallowed Kampuchea-Krom and are now satisfied. Yak Yuons still have appetites for the remaining Cambodia. And the CPP agents such as ah Hun Sen is enabling Yuons'policy of Vietnamization of Indochina (namely Champa, Kampuchea-Krom, Lao, and Cambodia).

Look carefully who are now walking and talking together in southeast Asia region (Hun Sen of Cambodia, BOUPHAVANH Bouasone of Lao, and Nguyen Tan Dung of Yuon). They voiced together and same objection on the issue of Burma's sanction at last week ASEAN's meeting in Singapore.

The real enemies are the Yuons and their CPP agents in Khmer Soil.

If we ever learn to be true democratic and non-corrupt, then we Khmer can defeat the Vietcongs and Khmercongs.

Mr. Son San is the most venerable leader deserves respect and praise from our compatriots. Based on modern history and our political observation, Mr. Son San is a true Khmer nationalist who had worked hard to serve our people and protect our country from the Vietnamses aggressors. The most importance of his leadership is nonviolence based on the principle of Theravada Buddhism. However, after 1993 election, his party became a target of the Vietnamese and their CPP agents to destroy on the first place. Because they knew that Son San was a real Khmer nationalist and to keep him longer means to reduce Vietnamese influence. No wasting time, Hun Sen used Ieng Molly, Sere Lapress, and other selfish memebers by giving them some positions in the government to split and destroy Mr. Son San's party. After 1998 election Son San's party was completely disppeared from the list. Not only Son San's party was a victim of the Vietnamese policy of sabotage in order to gain control Cambodia through their Lackeys--Hun Sen, Chea sim, Heng Samrin, Hok Landy .... The Khmer Nation Party and FORNCINPEC also fell into their targets. They used tricks and traps to smash the KNP by using Kong Monie, Gnourn Soeur, and others members who love power, money to destroy the KNP. When it was unsuccessful, the granage attack to end a life of the KNP leader was used. Fortunately he was alive to serve his people and country until today. And KNP disappeared and became SRP--the only name they cannot steal until today. However, the SRP members are frequently become victims of political persecution from the CPP's agents. At the same time, FORNCINPEC had been shaken too. They used Tourn Chay to open a special congress to topple Ranarith in 1996, but after unsuccessful atempt, the bloody coup finally took place in 1997. After the coup, they used Oung Hourt, Thea Chamrat, Loy Chomcheang to create more political party in oder to weaken and destroy the FORNCINPEC but still unsuccessful. Now they use Nhek Bunchay, Luly Sreng, Serey rath, Keo Putracmey who were the victims during the coup to destroy their own party. We expect after 2008 election, FORNCINPEC will have the same fate as the BLDP (Son San's party). Back to our topic, Mr. Son San is just a political victim of Hun Sen and his Vietnamese patron's covert policy of sabotage for control the Khmer People. Our compatriots! so far we have enough time to blame, to wrangle, to fight, to insult, to kill each others, but we probably do not have enough time to save our nation from the Vietnamese expansionism policy through their Hun Sen's puppet regime.

The Specific Expansion of Viet Nam

Another set back to the Khmer Empire was the southward expansion of the Kingdom of Vietnam. As early as 10th century, Vietnam first began its territorial expansion over the Kingdom of Champa. In early 17th century, they captured the remaining part of the territory, and the Kingdom of Champa was erased from the world map. The Chams' territory is now simply known as Central Vietnam. During the reign of Tran Anh Tong (1293-1314), Princess Huyen Tran of Vietnam was presented for marriage to the King of Champa as a trap to annex the Chams' territory.

After the arranged marriage, the annexation was completed as planned, in 1673. A similar scheme was also used against the Khmer Empire. The campaign started in 1623 and continued until they occupied the whole of Kampuchea Krom.
During the Le Dynasty 1600's, Vietnam experienced internal chaos. The Vietnamese warlords struggled for power and sought full control of Vietnam. The Trinh clan controlled the northern part of Vietnam while the Nguyen has controlled the south. Consequently, the Trinh and Nguyen wars provided the Vietnamese with opportunity to infiltrate the northeast provinces of Kampuchea Krom in the provinces such as Do Nai, Morea and Toul Ta Mauk.

In 1620, the young Khmer monarch, king Chey Chetha II (1618-1628) had fallen into the similar Vietnam's trap as that of the king of Champa in 1307. The warlord Nguyen Hi Tong (1613-1635) presented one of his exotic daughters, Princess Ngoc Van, to King Chey Chetha II for some favors . Through the Princess' intervention in 1623, the Nguyen warlord sent his representatives to ask the Court of Udong permission for the Vietnamese to conduct trade in Morea (Baria) and Prei Nokor (Saigon ), and be given custom authorities over trading. Because of marriage to the Vietnamese wife, King Chey Chetha II had no strong reasons to refuse but granted the requests. Some historians agreed that these were the covert acts intended to rob the Khmers of their rights. Later, the Court of Hue, again, used the nice guy's trick by volunteering their men to assist the Khmer authority in carrying out the policing in the areas. Some documents in Khmer history have cited that at the start of the relationship, the Court of Hue only asked to use certain areas in Prei Nokor to train their militaries for wars against the Chinese and they would be returned to the Khmer authority in 5 years. But at the death of king Chey Chetha II in 1628, the areas of Prei Nokor, Morea, Do Nai, and Toul Ta Mauk were flooded with the Vietnamese warlord . Kampong Srakartrey (Bienhoa) in 1651; Prah Suakea or Morea (Baria) in 1651; Kampong Kou (Longan) in 1669; Tuol Ta Mauk in 1696; Kampong Krabey Prei Nokor (Saigon) in 1696.

In 18 th century, Mac Cuu a Chinese who received a permission from Ang Eum (1710-22) to con- trol the province of Peam (Hatien), Kramounsar (Rachgia) and Koh Tral ( Phu Quoc island ) in 1722. The provinces of Mesar (Mytho), Kampong Reussey (Bentre), Koh Gong (Gocong) and Peam Ba-rach ( Long Xuyen) were lost to Vietnam in 1732. Phsar Dek (Sadec), Long Ho (Vinhlong), Mot Chrouk (Chaudoc) in 1757, Raung Damrey (Tayninh) in 1770, Prek Reussey (Cantho) in 1758. The provinces of Preah Trapeang (Travinh), Khleang ( Soctrang), Pol Leav (Baclieu), and Teuk Khmao (Camau) were siezed in 1775 and until 18th century our motherland Kampuchea Krom was totally controlled by the Vietnamese 1840.

It is not still too late to fight the Yuon lackeys.

Colonization of Preah Trapeang

During the Tay Son uprising (1779-1796), the Srok of Preah Trapeang had given asylum to the fugitive Vietnamese Emperor Gia Long so that he could reconstitute forces against his own warlord Tay Son. King Ang Eng (1779-96) of the Khmer Empire had also provided a military support to this Vietnamese Emperor as a gesture of a good neighbor. However, after regained throne of Annam from the Tay Son, Gia Long arbitrarily turned the Srok Preah Trapeang into a Vietnamese colony.

During his dynasty (1802-19), king Gia Long started an irrigation project in the Province of Mot Chrouk (Chaudoc). Thousands of the Khmer Krom were forced to dig a canal named Chum Nik Prek Teng (Vinh Te), 53 kilometers long and 25 meters wide, from Bassac River to the Gulf of Siam. During this forced labor project from 1813-1820, many thousands of the Khmer Krom were killed. In one particular instance the Khmer workers were buried alive so that the Vietnamese soldiers could use their heads as stove stands to boil water for tea for their Vietnamese masters. The phrase "Be careful not to spill the masters'Tea" is still well reminded to there Children by all Khmer Krom parents or grandparents.

Before the Canal Project well done, Annamite soldiers held khmer laborers into Pillories, each fillory contained about 20-40 people (they said to prevent Khmer laborers run away from mobilization),at least from 2-5 thousand were locked in pillories located in the canal; the dam was opened, water filled the canal, all Khmer laborers were drowned, no one was survive. (Listen to the Te Ong Anussa´s song that means the Master´s Tea Memo).

The Legacy of Oknha Son Kuy
During the reign of King Thieu Tri (1841- 47), the Khmer Krom were harshly forced to abandon their Buddhist religion, custom, tradition, and language. Oknha Son Kuy (also known as Chavay Kuy), Governor of the Srok of Preah Trapeang, had to give up his life in exchange for those rights. The Vietnamese Court of Hue recognized the facts and agreed to have the imposition lifted. When Oknha Son Kuy as beheaded in 1841, people rose up against the Vietnamese through out the country. The Khmer Krom had to stand alone and faced severely retaliations without any supports from King Ang Doung (1840-59) of the Khmer Empire. The body of SON KUY was buried in the capital seat of the Preah Trapeang (Travinh), and his tomb is still standing in Bodhisalaraj Kampong) temple until today.

HI 12:08AM ! I'm from Canada !
I appriciate your analyses. I agree 100% with you.
I'm not SRP member but I'm sur that SRP is our last hope. So we need to help them hard financially since we cannot go to the front line in Cambodia. They need financial support to help living condition of villagers, inform the truth to villagers such as radio ads, etc...

It is time for a change. I say give money directly to the villagers.

If you want problems solved help the SRP to wind election first, then the problems will be solved. SRP cannot be blamed for poverty and economic failure unless it is the ruling party.

All my dearest compatriots, reading all your comments makes me so sad for Khmer fate. The writer of this article seems full of anger with Son Sann. Don't you think so? In his self mood, he tries his best to charge all blame and attack to Son Sann and his followers. Oh my dear, shall you not be a Khmer. If there are 10 people like you (Op-Ed By Kok Sap), Khmer will disappear so soon because you try to break Khmer unity. Maybe you like to break Khmer's unity, and I suspect you to be one of people who broke BLDP too, and a real CPP-pro.
To be a Khmer, you should help Khmer leaders and people to work together, not to fight one another. I want to see not only SRP and HRP and FUNCINPEC Party in unity, but also with government in a sole aim for country interest, not for personal interest. If you (Op-Ed By Kok Sap) write again in your aim to break Khmer's interests, please DON'T do it!
I wish you are born not a Khmer! Poor you!
From a Khmer Student in US!

Wrong, 10:26, the SRP had been tampering with our economy since day1 to make people suffers to make the government look bad so that they can win the election. That is why all business communities are against them. And without businesses behind him, the SRP is just a waste, or an annoying parasites if you will.

Son Sann was among the 7 men that were deployed to Cambodia by Yuon to shake up Cambodian Royal Administration. He did it until his death in late 90's.
