Prime minister Hun Sen issued a warning today, saying that the illegal confiscation of wealth from corrupt government officials could create unrest in the country.
In a speech given during his meeting with people, Hun Sen talked about his government being unable to prevent corruption, but he said that the forced confiscation of wealth belonging to the corrupt government officials will create problems.
Hun Sen said: “The corrupt officials, they ensnared me by telling me: ‘I am corrupt and I have ($)100 million…’ Then we have to confiscate (the corruption money) from them, so we confiscate back and forth, how do we do it? Will they agree (to the confiscation)? Then war will erupt from these confiscations. These guys, we confiscate from them, after confiscating for a while, all the rich people will all become poor, then more than 3 million people were destroyed [KI-Media: allusion to the killing under the KR regime], don’t play with that.”
In reaction to Hun Sen’s speech, Kem Sokha, HRP president, declared that this shows the ruling CPP’s unwillingness to fight against corruption, because the fight against corruption can be undertaken peacefully with an anti-corruption law.
Kem Sokha said: “If the leaders have the will and they promote the rule of law, we can adopt a law first, then everybody will be under the law. Next we can resolve this issue peacefully according to the law, there will be no revenge. Thus, there will be no war because those who are wealthy, they want to earn their money legally.”
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy also reacted to Hun Sen’s speech by saying: “Laws that are still missing, such as the anti-corruption law, we must have the National Assembly adopt it first, then we can put into full practice. When we put this law into full practice, then the corruption level will decrease.”
Thun Saray, Adhoc human rights President, said that governance is a difficult task, but the government must have the true willingness to eliminate the wealth gap caused by all illegal actions.
Thun Saray said: “This is unlike under the KR regime. The KR confiscated wealth from everybody, this is wrong. However, regarding governance in a free market society, the government has the duty to prevent any illegal income, such as stealing state funds; gain from illegal trades – like women or drug traffickings; accepting briberies, etc… for these cases, the government must take action against them.”
Currently, Cambodia is one of the countries with the highest problem of corruption in the world. Poverty and social injustice are blamed on this major corruption issue.
Recently, several NGOs have delivered more than 1 million thumbprints on a petition to the government and the National Assembly demanding for the adoption of the anti-corruption law which has been stalled for the past 10 years.

KHMER toronto
Wrong, it is Ah Spam Rainxy who is the most corrupted person on the planet. He's no difference from his predecessor Lon Nol.
shut the fuck up an idiot 3:32am
According to ah kwack ,some of his gang of scum bag pocket them self
some $100 millions,while 80% of the population live under 2 dollars a day......
Under ah kwack iron grip ,Cambodia become an International bagger ,survive only from foreign donation and charity....SHAME , SHAME...
May lightning strikes ah kwack forehead at noon time!!!!!!
You!..3:32 AM always against what is Khmer interest, Mr. Samrainsy is one of Khmer pionnea, he is relentlessly seeking for solution to solve our differences for Khmer unity, for Khmer territoral sovereignty. What wrong with him? are you SiamCong?; don't be so prouwed in the near future will be your turn jurk!..you won't have any peace of land to stand! don't you know that?...HuH!..?
May Budha bless Khmer all!
Hun Sen has no political will to eliminate corruption because to do so it would means having to punish his cronies and himself. Hun Sen has been said to be the richest man in Cambodia and one of the richest in the world- he is a billionaire. But where did he get his money from? Corruption. While the CPP and Hun Sen enjoy the wealth stolen from the nation and the people, 80% of Cambodia's population is facing starvation.
You're right 5:06AM Hun Sen is rendering our Country to enriched himself and their corruption cronies, he stole all the Cambodian naturel resourse for himself, left the people to be slaves the neighbour, and the world.There is no Khmer GV ever allowed Khmer people to be this condition.
God bles khmer all!
It doesn't matter what he said. If the law found them all guilty or corrupted they should be confiscated. If he said that unless himself, relatives and his clans (CPP) are the most corrupted. He is soooo guilty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF the law found them guilty they shouldn't cause any unrest in the country. THis is just his stupid excuses. There is nobody above law.
You see, the poor Khmer-Yuons, how your Hun Xen declares; he declares that he's the head of the corrupt in the country!
We must fight to keep Cambodia from becoming Zimbabwe. Everyone must say, "NO" to Ah Spam Rainxy.
In the last 10 years or so, the money cleansing has taken place in many forms ie casino , drugs , protitution,especially buying/selling land where officials got hold on lands and selling those land to the riches, foreighner, pretending moneys earned from these buisinesses intead. That why Sok Anh never allow to have corruption laws passed until their wealth become privatised.
Nope you fucking Viet/Yuon-born parasite @3:32 AM that pretend to be Khmer thinking that Yuon/Viet is Khmer master and Khmer is Viet/Yuon slave must be castrated and have your dick fed to the Viet cancerous black dog!
Viet/Yuon go home!
You viet must learn by heart the universal language by now:
"The world sees and knows you Viet true color already"!
If we abolish corruption the country will not progress, is that what you try to explain Hun. So let your party be more corrupt so Cambodia will experience major progress.
Why do you go back to Kampong Cham and finish your high school diploma.
Mr HUN SEN !
If you are not capable in dealing with corruption, why don't you just resign ?. Let the most capable and honest person solve the problem.You just can't cover up corruption forever.Learn from our khmer's history, when the poors got upperhand, not a baby was safe.
So if I am corrupt and steel $1,000,000 from the bank of Cambodia I may go to jail, but can keep the money ????? H*&^ X*%% talks shit
"IF" don't count, you idiot (9:10).
Hun is listed in Forbe magasine, he has around 5 billions dollars as personal fortune. No folks the 5 billions is not the fruit of his genius in investment, we know where it comes from. That why my pal Hun does not fare well with the idea of corruption law. Neither his friend Sok An and the others of the CPP family.
It's like dirty clothes and Tide detergent.
Man this guy is quick to start a war.
Take it easy pal, don't start too many war.
Well, we can't just let you bring Cambodia back to year-zero, can we?
To 12:25PM
Hey fool! The year of zero is the communist concept not democratic concept! If the fucken war can change the course of Cambodian history for the better and why not!
People around the world wage the fucken war all the time in the name of peace and progress!
hello. a wake up call? perhaps it's time to step aside and let someone else who is capable to do it. can't keep corruption going forever. it got to stop soon. don't be so greedy. if corruption keep going at this rate, soon there's no more cambodia to call home. think long-term national interest, people.
it's also good to listen to all sides, although one might hate them. listening is one of the most important skill a smart politician can learn and have; not just running the mouths. god bless.
actually this kind of threat of confiscation is not so good for cambodia because it create more problems instead of helping to solve problem. i think corruption should stop and start afresh. those who have already gain wealth should be allow so; just no more corruption. otherwise this cause of fear can create some sort of retaliation and not good to gain cooperation by using fear tactics because fear is one of the most destructible forces for all human being; thus they can bite back; so please do not use the fear factors to intimidate others; use diplomacy is better in politics. this goes for everywhere in the world, not just in cambodia. god bless cambodia.
