During an inauguration of a rubber plantation and a rubber factory at the Tumring rubber plantation, on 07 May, Hun Sen sternly reacted by saying that: “Those who cheated and lied to the former monarch should not be pardoned. If it were to be in China, for such offense, the offender dead body would be broken apart.”
Hun Sen severely stressed that: “Why did they bring rubber plantation workers to receive gifts from King-Father and Queen-Mother in Siem Reap province, and these workers were all grandpas and grandmas, who would use grandpas and grandmas to collect rubber resin? I believe that King-Father and Queen-Mother did not know about this … But, since they are the children of the former king, so he let them go. But, if it was Hun Sen, I wouldn’t pardon them, this is a scorn on the former monarch, a scorn on workers, and a scorn on the companies.”
Hun Sen said that workers have their uniform, and for example, in the Krek rubber plantation, the company provides a bicycle for each worker to collect rubber resin, when they are done with their work, the workers would leave in their motorcycles. Why would these workers lack foods in the rubber plantations? Workers receive 24 kilos of rice ration each, there is no reason for them to ask for gifts from the former monarch.
Hun Sen asked Kon Sam Ol, the minister of the Royal Palace, to review these cases. He said that: “For those who are 70-year-old, who would still keep them to work? At 55-year-old they would retire already, but here 70-year-old workers (were brought in to receive gifts from King-Father). So they are cheating the former monarch. When the minister of agriculture (Chan Sarun) reported this to me, I asked Kong Sam Ol to report to King-Father and Queen-Mother also, so that they can see, because the rubber factories are protesting as the people who received the gifts were not their workers.” Hun Sen confirmed also: “It is not just this issue, it is a case of lying to the king. The opposition can undertake such action.”
Hun Sen said: “I am taking very strongly against this case, because this is a hot issue. They scorn us in every way, and this is the place where I am leading, I signed the sub-decree and I inaugurated the rubber plantation work ground, they said that in Tumring, there is no rubber, and they reported this all over the world, the opposition and a number of NGOs chimed in. Now, come and see, but they are always doing something wrong against us. They never make any corrections for us at all. They used to support the Khmer Rouge who were attacking us, they never said that the KR were wrong, they are always right, they talked about us being wrong a lot of times.”
Hun Sen also used as an example the KR Tribunal: “They said that the government does not have the goodwill. When we brought the KR leaders to be judged in the tribunal, they only whispered: ‘Very good.’ But they did not make any correction to the articles or TV and radio reports where they talked about. These are the people who do not dare take their responsibility at all. The Cambodians dare to give and take, if Cambodians are fighting each others, then we will have a war and they will be happy, but if Cambodians have peace, like now, they are not happy about it.”
Hun Sen severely stressed that: “Why did they bring rubber plantation workers to receive gifts from King-Father and Queen-Mother in Siem Reap province, and these workers were all grandpas and grandmas, who would use grandpas and grandmas to collect rubber resin?

Ah Hun Sen! Kom kruy pék!
Ah Sam Raisy is a warmonger and he's danger to Khmer people.
If it was true this information. It's just with one eye,he see 55. Imagine he has 2 eyes, he will see 110 years old.
My god 110 years old to get retirement.
In fact, there's no age for retirement.
How can You retire if you win 80$ a month or maybe less if you're not with CPP?
Well it's doesn't mean with others parties rubbers's workers will get more...
