Kem Sokha’s unity stance

12 December 2007

Translated from Khmer by Socheata

Leaders of the HRP declared that they will not allow the HRP to unite with any other party without setting its conditions.

In a statement issued recently, the HRP presented its four conditions in order for any political party to unite with the HRP, prior to the upcoming 2008 general election.

Kem Sokha, HRP President, discussed about these 4 conditions during a declaration he gave yesterday: “Any party that can unite with the HRP, must at least have 4 common goals (as the HRP). (1) the term of party president must be limited to 2 at most, for a period of 10 years (in total?), (2) there must be a division of power inside the party, that is one individual cannot hold power to everything, (3) the party president must declare his assets, and (4) the party name must not bear the name of an individual. There must be at least these 4 conditions before we can talk about unification with each other.”

It is believed that the specifications of these 4 conditions came about after Prince Norodom Ranariddh sounded the HRP about forming an alliance in order to fight the CPP during the upcoming 2008 election.

Nevertheless, the HRP did not indicate if it presented these 4 conditions as a response to any particular party, however, Kem Sokha declared that they are the HRP’s general unity stance.

Furthermore, regarding Prince Ranariddh, Kem Sokha indicated along with his evaluation that: “The HRP is currently conducting unification, for example with H.E. Pen Sovann who participated, H.E. Keo Remy also participated, H.E. Son Soubert also participated. We are nationalist democrats who are uniting with each other. The leader of other parties, such as Prince Ranariddh, he does not have the ability to unite nationalist and democratic Cambodians, even his own people within the Funcinpec, he cannot unite them, and even his own family, he can’t even unite them, therefore it is very difficult (for him). We have no confidence that leaders of other political parties can unite the nationalists, that is why we form the HRP. We had and we are conducting the unification, that is why, if there is any political party, or any individual who adhere to similar democratic principles, we will continue to unite with them, this is necessary.”

The NRP has not reacted yet to the HRP declaration.

To the leadership of the HRP – it sounds like no democratic party in Cambodia is at your level. You have considered those that struggle for the freedom and democracy in Cambodia as your foes already. By the look of your conditions you guys are more concerned about power than the salvation of the Khmer nation and her people. Good luck with your attitudes. I hope some one wakes up and sees the big picture, and gets the priorities right.

"the party name must not bear the name of an individual."

Oh well, this means no unity with the SRP and the NRP.

I appreciate your right stance. But like NRP, you will not get one seat at the next election.

HRP,
How many wives Kem Sokha has?
How many parties had he joined for the past 10 years?
How much money does he have before joining CHRC?
HRP real name is it Ta Son Sann Party?

Mr. Kem SoKha needs to come clean and be truthful with Cambodian population and he can't escape his past!

Anonymous said...

I think that Kem Sokha knows very well about the split of BLDP (Budhist Liberal Democratic Party?) then became Son Sann Party? Why did this happen?-Because the CPP used their agents in the party and break a way and claim the name. What if HRP and SRP unite and have a new name and CPP agents break a way and claim the name again? Then all efforts become useless-waste of time, waste of resources? Can any one guranttee that there is no break away?

Cut the bullshit, 1:25. You know fair well that Sam Rainsy will not let go his grip of PM candidate to unite with the HRP.

Who's else dare to limit own's term to ten years? Who's else dare to declare own asset? Stop sucking khmer blood any more. Khmer people deserve better life by having new leder(s) with a way of running the country with limited terms. Don't pretend to be good leader if you don't dare to declare your asset and stay in power for whole life.

Look around you! in VN how many times they've changed their leaders?, how frequent in Thailand? (both in the government and the opposition)

If you are Buddhist, observe that the Angels are rotating their roles every year. Take a bath in a bowl!

HE Son Soubert,a nationalist democat,may be...
Comrade Pen Sovann,a nationalist democrat? Try again,communist dictator may be...
HE Keo Remy? Which comes first chicken or egg?If Kem Sokha can be sure of an answer,then a kauk reu a chae are the same, chickens, ain't them?

When one starts to have tunnel vision then only tunnel that one can see.

My advice to SRP and NRP do not change your party names yet because I heard Keo Ramy told his wife that this is only the strategy for SRP or NRP to change their party names and then CPP will create one exactly the same. Remember, Khmer Nation Party or Sen San party?

Kem Sokha how much money do you have before joint NGO? Can you afford to send your daughters to study in USA before NGO?

SOUND LIKE SOMEONE INSTRUCTED HIM TO SAY SO.....

ASK HIM IF HE IS WILLING TO DO POLYGRAPH TEST....

DON'T CONSIDER TO DO ANYTHING WITH HRP BEFORE 2008 ELECTION.

HE IS NOW IN THE STAGE OF PROBATION PERIOD, WHICH HIS SKILLS AND PERFROMANCE ARE PUT TO TEST....HE WILL BE SHWOING HIS TRUTHFULLY CHARACTERS WITHIN 5 YEARS.

DON'T PAY MUCH CONCERN ON HIS STATEMENT. BUT PAY ATTENTION TO HIS EVERY DAY ACTION, PARTICULARLY SCENE BEHIND THE PARTY'S DOOR.

THE TRUE NATURE OF EACH EVERY CAMBODIAN POLITICIAN WILL SURELY REVEALED DURING 5 YEARS TERM. FIGHT OR FLIGHT.

HRP IS IN THE STAGE OF IMPULSIVE CONDUCTOR AND TUNE UP IN EQUIVALENT TO THE PUZZLES ARE IN ARRANGING PIECES THEMSELVES. THE CONDUCTORS ARE TRANSMITTED FROM THE OLD TRANSFORMER, IN WHICH ARE BEING REPLENSIHED WITH NEW WIRES. HOW LONG IT IS GOING TO LAST , IT REMAIN TO BE SEEN....

Kem Sokha facing several lawsuits - No Longer the American Prodigy!
Cambodian Center for Human Rights President Kem Sokha is facing an increasing number of lawsuits filed by former CCHR employees, who accuse him of corruption, defamation and stealing their salaries.In exchange for the plaintiffs to drop their lawsuits, Kem Sokha has allegedly promised the former CCHR employees to give them positions in a new political party he would form in the near future. From hero to zero in a short span of a couple of years.

Changing the name of your party at this late in the game is the dumbest thing to do. It will confuse your voters.

To 1:25PM! I remembered!

Hun Sen is good at sending his agent to hijack other political party name! Hun Sen did it twice to his party such as the Liberal Reconciliation Party and Khmer Nation Party! Mr. Sam Rainsy was sickened tired of the hijacking of political party name and eventually he named his political party in his name! Ahahhhahahhah

Now! Nobody can steal his name not even Hun Sen!

Anonymous said...

Bullshit, Sam Rainsy is clearly a dictator who won't let go of his grip for PM candidate. That is why he named the party after him. It has nothing to do with spy. No one ever worry about that. Sam Rainsy don't care for anyone or the country. He'll stabbed you in the back if he have to in order to get power. Unfortunately, he doesn't have what it takes to obtain power, or what it take to run the country.

Good proposal Kem Sokha until the 4th. It sound like you fucking up never know what happen SRP?

_Can you leurned from other mustake so you do not step on the old shit?

_Hun Sen cause Rainsy to changed his party name to his own name for a reason!

You fuck up HRP at lease Kem Sokha!

Anonymous said...

Oh give it a rest, 1:22. Sam Rainsy is afraid that he will be pushed out of the door, that is why he named the party after himself. The CPP has no influence over the SRP whatsoever.

Why don't you rest 2:01A! you a fucking lier even to your soul! People in this blog have alot of reading and inforn fool! GO fool yourself kid, your sother is a STRONG MAN!!!!!!!!

Why do you all take side and put down each party? Is this how we fight to win Youn?

I think who support SR do not know KS from inside out and who support KS do not know SR enough either.

SR uses his name for the party because he had problem with its name before. So he doesn't want it to happen again. If you are in his shoe, you will do the same.

Yes, KS was sued but it doesn't mean he is guilty. If you assume he is guilty, you are the same CPP and its courts where they give no justice to people. Just because someone sue him it doesn't mean he guilty or he did it.

SR hangs on to the power maybe he did not see any one is strong or good enough to take the lead yet.

If you want to know people, get close to them. Don't just make judgement by what you hear.

KS has one wife only. He had a girl friend about 5 years ago. Now they are not together anymore and she also married to another man. Does his wife know? Yes, she does.

SR also has one wife. He also has 2French girl friends. He still secretly meet them when he goes to Paris. Does his wife know? No, she doesn't.

Whenever SR is in Paris, he goes to the night club to see the strip dancing. Why? He need to release his stress like everyone else.

When KS travels a lot in the country, he goes to the massage club. Why? to release stress too.

When SR has not enough money to run party, he sell his lands in Paris, borrow someone, and receive offers from people.

When KS need money to start party, he sell his lands in Cambodia, borrow someone, and get offers from people too. When he built his house, he loaned the bank in Cambodian for more than $100,000. When he put his children to study in USA, he borrowed poeple. He now still owes me $25,000 to pay his daughter's education.

SR and KS meet each other whenever they are outside the country like Paris, Canada and USA. They go to night clubs together. They call each other very often. They are close friend.

If you, KI, are good in getting information, please get the real one about them and tell the world. You know SR so well, so tell the truth and don't just put down one side. Any news like this will not help SRP nor HRP. Please let these two great leaders do their jobs and stop painting their face.

FRIEND of BOTH, SR and KS.

Dear Great Leaders close friend,
Well put,but it does not come out of those great leaders mouth.That does no good.

Both have problems with honesty with someone they sleep with every day.Not to say how trust worthy of thme for the members.

Right Sihanouk was Pol Pot friend then,now he 's still friend with Hanoi,also its lackeys not to say Ieng Sary or Khieu Samphan.

When poor people at the border of Khmerland seriously killed each other over politics,those same men inscluded SR had gourmet dinner at four or five star hotel with the damn dogdom king Siahnouk abroad.

Dream on friend of SR and KS
Hun Sen ends play each of them anyway,if not watch out

A good leader has to COMMUNICATE. Communication has to start with telling the truth, even when it's painful.

Anonymous said...

The problem is none of the leaders know how to communicate but like to dictate instead.

For that reason Sam Rainsy can step aside and let someone be the president and he still can be the prime rib if his party won.Probably he can use AD to deputize Kem Sokha as his close friend when needed to go to nude club.

Other countries,like UK Tony Blair was not the president of his aprty but he got the nomination because he can campaign.Not dictate like democrats in Cambod.

I am not a politician, but a khmer patriot.
We have to imagine if one day Sam Rainsy is killed by a cpp agent or a vietcong agent, who can help Cambodia?
I thing The SR is not strong enough.
So the SR and the HRP must be united in order to be stronger to protect the country.

Dear 6:46 AM
Something like Great Leaders Close Friend said it here will never come out from these two leaders themselve. They are not stupid to tell the world about their secret life. I do not believe this "Close Friend" 100% but it is possible because these two leaders are human.

Anonymous said...

If both great leaders are not stupid then who's the stupid? SR and KS close friend or partisans?

Exactly how Hun Sen-Sihanouk see themselves flying high because stupid is stupid does.

Fidelity and honesty is the core of human decency,one without it the rest is nothing.

When I go to work my boss always told me that to keep personal problems at home otherwise the personal problem will interfere with the job performance! Why can this concept be applied to politic too?

Honestly I don't give a fuck what any politician want to do with their fucking personal time or even lead a fucken secret life but as long as it doesn't affect their political career or damage their reputation! These politicians should know by now that they are held to a higher standard than the population and any personal information or any wrong doing or any bad judgments made public can be used against them!

Cambodia desperately needs clean, honest, good moral, intelligent, well educated...politicians!
