Sam Rainsy: We still have money, and we face no difficulties

Translated from Khmer by Socheata

Following a calm in the defections of local high ranking SRP members, new SRP defections are now starting to take place and claims have been made that the two former SRP members, Meas Marin and Ou Sovann who recently joined the CPP, were former major financial backers of the SRP [KI-Media note: These major financial backers offered $500 and $100 to join the CPP]. Political observers in Cambodia indicated that these defections could affect the SRP financial condition and it could affect the SRP election campaign strategy. However, these concerns were rejected by opposition leader Sam Rainsy who said: “We still have money and we face no difficulties. There are more than 700,000 overseas Cambodians, and a large number of them are SRP supporters, even if (the CPP) could attract 100 persons, there will still be tens of thousands people who will continue to support the SRP.”

The SRP is so great that it can afford to lose members, supporters, and friends. It must feel good.

You got to be on crack to believe that.

Ah Spam Rainxy will not make it to the election. Even the so called 700,000 will soon to become 0.

Overseas financial support will never be flew into the account forever.

Beleive it or not, because Cambodians abroad work their butt off in order to earn money to feed their family and with some saving to donate to political party - no money is growing on tree.

Yeah, but Ah Spam Rainxy doesn't give a shit about that. He'll stop at nothing to get the money. Even if he had to deceived people or to cause false anxiety ... to get it, as he has done all along.

Sam Rainsy should get his numbers right. There are about 300,000 overseas Khmer combined. If you look closely about 50,000 of those may be SRP supporters. Of the 300,000 about 70% are lower middle class with no money to give to a political cause in a country they won't ever go back to. Sheer propaganda.

Mate 9:09 PM. Respect people.
I am one of the CPP's children but I see different from you. I think Cambodia should have two parties like in the US or another democratic nations.

I think Sam Rainsy should stay as opposition and CPP should stay as his opposition like Dem v. Rep.

It is good for the nation.

I only say there are good CPP like myself and there are bad SRP like some of these people.

SRP will remain the same, a major opposition leader. Cambodia must addministrate Country with two consitance Political parties. CPP Communist/socalist party is not right to run this country a lone. More ever Khmer people against CPP GV to vietnaminizing Khmer nation , and doen't wanted to see INDOCHINA created either.

Long lives Khmer nation!

Those vindinctive people who wish to see the SRP finished after July will be more hurt and come back with more vengeful and venomous attacks when they see that the SRP will only increase.

I feel sorry for them.

Cambodia from now on will only see the two party system - the CPP vs the SRP (KNP).

Impossible. The SRP is rolling down hill day by day right now. They will not make it to the election. How can they exist after the election?
