It is rare to see these two leaders (Hun Sen & Sam Rainsy) appear in the public. I don't know what is Hun Sen shouting to Sam Rainsy, and what is Sam Rainsy replying with humble face to Hun Sen?

However, these two prominent leaders seems have become mature in running politics in Cambodia, especially have got understanding that for the sake of the nation, the criticism or opposing idea is not bad or blamable.

You both have to be honest with each other, and play in a fair game of politics, not to be good in tricking strategies. The best tricky player I have known in Cambodia is Hun Sen because he has had background from his number one teacher, the Hanoi.

Hun Sen, if you want to see your future leadership is inscribed in heart of Khmer younger generation, you have to find out a good way to reform CPP as well as retire yourself from politics.

Please, give chance to other member inside CPP or to Sam Rainsy.

Khmer Rouge UN-backed tribunal: You forgot to apprehend the ring leader (the former king). Oblivion of you duty and responsibility are not an option. This is a cataclysmic and colossal failure of the UN; failure is not an option.

Wrong, if Sam Rainsy care about Cambodia, he should stayed out of politic and government and allowed the country to developed as fast as possible. He must understand that we are racing against inflation, and his interference have hindered Khmer people from receiving full increase of their standard of living.

On 27/11/07 I went to visit a friend who has a sattelite disc. We watched Hun Sen talked to about 2000 graduated teachers. He said; some party promised to increase salary for teachers from national budget, go and have a look in the national budget there's no money there, how can they pay high wage to teachers.
I noticed of one thing that Hun Sen boast of is there is no more war in the country.
I rarely listened to his talk before only this time I tried to listen for a period of time.
I have found that the cambodian people are very unfortunate to have such a prime minister like Hun Sen, he has no idea of how to run the country, he doesn't know how to collect money to put in the national budget but know only how to collect money to put his own pocket instead.
I am sure Hun Sen is going to destroy the country if cambodian people alloow him to stay in power longer.
I would like to make an appeal to all the Cambodian people to think carefully and please give the SRP a chance to run our country then we all can see the difference.

So! What's the problem?! You simply want someone to relinquish or abnegate from his or her position because you simply don't like him or her. This is quite uncanny! Would you think? Why don't you have your friends and families abridge your trip so all of you can return to where you belong.

Oh! Perhaps our intellects are far superior than all of you. Next time utilize your opinion wisely, because your ideas or suggestions are seldom welcome here in Cambodia. You people are nothing but a bunch of SSI and welfware collectors. Now, you want to tell us what to do. What a bunch of pathetic loser insects.

Oh don't listened to blind people like 6:22, brother, because they can't see. Everyone knows that Cambodia is better each year than the previous year under the leadership of PM Hun Sen. Thus, is it impossible that it will be destroyed at anytime soon. It just don't make any sense.

Do our compatriots know the reason why the GREAT KING KONG FATHER NORODUM XI HA NOUK, MONIQUE AND XI HA MOONI RAN AWAY OUR COUNTRY IMMEDIATELY AFTER bonn om touk, under the pretext of health?
The reason is they are supertitious: The death of five Singaporeans in Cambodia during a dragon boat event last Friday was the bad sign for them.
"About hundreds years ago, TUMNEAY predicted that from year 2500-bouddhist epoch, EVIL KING (SDACH THMIL: former Khmer rouge Chef NORODUM XI-HAN-NOUK?)will die in Tonle bourn Mouk and the Civil War will start in Srok Khmer. At the end all the THMIL (EVILS) will disapear. Later SROK KHMER will be rich and prosperous and will be renamed SOVANNAPHOUM ( PHUOM MEAS: golden village)"
Wait and see

Do you notice Sihanouk and Monique go to see their personal doctor by airplane? and where most Cambodian people don't see doctor for check-up. Even they go to see; they might walk or ride a bile to the doctor. So this couple live in a very high class. They go to China for make-up and fuck-up where Cambodian people starve to death.

BY THE WAY THE THREE COMMENTS SUPPORT YOUR GANG LEADERS IN CPP; YOU'RE HANOI AND CAMBODIAN WILL KILL YOU ALSO. EVEN YOU'RE NOT HANOI, YOU SHOULD LEARN A LESSON FROM KR REGIME. THE WORLD WON'T BE THE SAME. ONE DAY YOUR MASTER WILL BE GONE AND YOU WILL BE NEXT TO BE STANDING ON TRIAL. WHOEVER COMMIT CRIMES LIKE LAND GRABBING, MONEY LAUNDERING, ETC... WE WILL SEE YOU IN COURT.

WE LIVE IN THE US AND A FEW TAKE WELFARE, BUT WE STILL ARE BETTER THAN ALL OF YOU LIVING IN CAMBODIA THAT HAS NO PEACE. SO DON'T THINK YOU'RE SMARTER THAN US LIVING IN US. ALL OF YOU INCLUDING YOUR PARENT WANT TO COME TO THE US ALSO. BUT IT'S EASY MY FRIEND TO COME HERE. DON'T PLACE YOURSELF IN THE HIGH CLASS AND CALLED YOURSELF CHUM TEAV, NAK SREY, LOK OKYA. IN AMERICA WE DON'T USE THOSE DIRTY WORDS. WE ADDRESS BY NAME NO MATTER HOW HIGH YOU'RE.

How can one boost about Hun Sen making the country better. Think everyone, THINK...When a country economy is has flat LINE....I mean Rock bottom.....Anyone with alittle idea can make the economy spike. Have I got everyones attention?

It is like taking a pencil with a broken tip that someone has thrown away and sharpening it to make it work again. Understand?

Now lets see if this trend will continue and see if it will reward the country men/women. Or is it just going to reward only a few.

So far everyone knows that it is only the the few that are benefiting. Draw your own conclusion. Everyone here can speak their minds. Just remember if you were to be in Cambodia, and say this in public or in front of CPP officials, You might get something coming at CHA...

Don`t take your freedom for granted. others don`t have that kind of freedom.

Some people think that Hun Sen has done good thing for Cambodia, some are not.

Hun Sen has helped political stability and boosted economic growth or not? the answer yes, but not really yes because the political stability in Cambodia explicitly comes from ASEAN and world's intention. Economic growth, can be yes but in reality because Cambodia has had huge debt to foreigners.

However, Hun Sen's leadership is evil for Cambodia as many people can see:
1. Cambodia is still under Vietnam's interference of Jan. 7, 1979 continuity, and their influence inside CPP is deeper than any political period in Cambodia history.
2. Corruption is becoming a leadership style of Hun Sen that this man cannot tackle it or say about it.
3. Dictatorship and political monopoly is becoming powerful and powerful from day to day.
4. Cambodian younger generation has seemingly become cruel because they imitate from Hun Sen's vicious speech as well as personal rude attitude.
5. Economic growth is good only for those business tycoons and government cronies, but Cambodian farmers are destitute and painful.
6. Rule of law in Cambodia has been devastated by Hun Sen's leadership and his cronies.
7. CPP's members are not enjoyable at all for Hun Sen's attachment to power.

Look at the photo of Hun Sen and Sam Rainsy subconscious displays.Interesting Keo Puth and wife are the shadows of Hun Sen who is confident and looks up in the face of his opponent with I am in command posture.
Sam Rainsy other hand is in submissive and uncertain in eyes searching for answer on the ground with left hand held up to his heart.

This is classic posture of who confonts who...

Wrong, in Khmer culture, people doesn't much eye contact with each other, period. Thus, it doesn't mean anything.

Mr. Sam Rainsey looks 2000 times better and smarter as Mr. P.M than whatever his name is...and can any one do magic and make the one on the left disappear? and we mean for 5000 years or never come back! Hey he got enough money to live off that long anywhere in the world and why not?!!1 He deserves it.

Ah Xam Frainsy,

I would be more than happy to set up the date (preferably in Phnom Penh at the Intercontinental Hotel, either 14th or 15th floor Club member)for the debate with Ah Xam Frainsy. Bring it on! Anytime!

Phalla, VIP or Club member staff at the Intercontinental, will be happy to make the arrangement (if this joker wants to take on the challenge). Or, perhaps you worthless hillbilies want to take on this challenge.

Bring Gen. Kiev Sopheak along. I think he prefers Blue Label over XO (Extra Aged), after all, the XO is too French. Tell Phalla at the Intercontinental Hotel that I send you.

Oh! Don't fret! The glasses on the 14th and 15th floor are bullet-proof.

A word from a man of integrity MOI):

Had not been Samdach Hun Sen, most of you people won't be in this forum discussing important issues, such as the Cambodia economy and how Samdach Hun Sen sacrified his life to save your pathetic asses from the massacre. Remember that before you put your kid or kids to sleep tonight.

Again, remembr: had not been ONE man (Hun Sen, that is), you people never had the opportunity to put your child or children to sleep.

Contrary to what you people might have said about Samdach Hun Sen, HE will always be your LIBERATOR. REMEMBER THAT!

After all, we don't want you people end up like the oblivious crocodiles in the pond.

Quite candidly, as for me, I worship Samdach Hun Sen, because he SAVED my friends, families, others and me (and your oblivious crocodiles). For that I'm eternal grateful.
