Hun Sen bans unofficial use of gov't vehicles ... but no penalty announced for ban violation

Cambodia's PM cracks down on official vehicle misuse

Cambodia's prime minister has banned the use of state vehicles for anything other than official business in a bid to save petrol amid soaring world oil prices.

Prime Minister Hun Sen said in a speech on national radio some officials used state vehicles to drive their families around on weekends.

He did not say what the penalty would be for officials who failed to heed the new ban.

The state does not subsidise fuel prices in impoverished Cambodia, where pump prices are at record highs of almost 1.15 dollars US per litre.

Honestly:

Can Sam Raingsy alone win the 2008 election?
Can Kem Sokha alone win the 2008 election?
Can Sam Raingsy and Kem Sokha et al together united win the 2008 election?

If not,

Can Sihanouk be Khmer's last resort solution to Khmer's problem?

Khmer people, please think:

The Viet uses Sihanouk, the Chinese uses Sihanouk, Hun Sen uses Sihanouk, why can't Khmer make good use of Sihanouk before he dies?

Don't let Sihanouk go to waste Khmer people!
Enough said?
