PHNOM PENH, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- A government official warned if newly elected Cambodian opposition parliamentarians boycott the National Assembly's official swearing-in ceremony, their seats will be divided among other parties, local newspaper the Cambodia Daily reported Tuesday.
Information Minister and government spokesman Khieu Kanharith was quoted as saying on Monday that if the opposition parties follow through with their threat, 15 of their 31 projected seats will be given to the Cambodian People's Party (CPP) and the 16 remaining seats will be given to the Funcinpec Party, which currently only have two seats.
Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) President Sam Rainsy said last week that his party, along with the Human Rights Party (HRP) and the Norodom Ranariddh (NRP), will boycott the first session of the National Assembly unless alleged election irregularities are addressed.
On Friday, Prime Minister Hun Sen publicly admonished Sam Rainsy at Phnom Penh International Airport, warning that if the opposition fails to have its lawmakers sworn in, they will lose their seats.
Sam Rainsy told the newspaper Monday that he was not concerned by either the prime minister or the information minister's threats and that the boycott will continue as planned.

Only wild animals can speak that kind of language. I found that SRP, HRP and NRP deserve more respect than these animals have barked so far. They have gain their seats through their hard works and from tehir sweats and their bloods. Noone can replace their seats without another snap election. If they are really dividing these seats why they have an election for? I hope they won't use anymals tactic in human society. Areak Prey
We (Khmers) are strongly behind your stance, Mr Sam Rainsy...

You are right, H.E Sam Rainsy. Loser but winner. Boycott untill CPP share you some power. We try very hard, thus we deserve to get some seats in the new government ,or at least, we get some power in NA as you request.
Sam Rainsy is playing a high-stakes poker here. I don't think he will win though

Don't worry people. Things will cool down. They won't boycott. They have done this many time already. They are negotiating for their benefits in controlling some of the committees in the NA. CPP will give them some and every is history. Remember, every politicians in Cambodia needs money and power.

The seats' allocation is not based on how hard anyone political party had work or how much they swet. Those seats belong to the party that had been chosen by the people. No one individual has the power to distribute those seats. Only a communist dictator would do something like that. Ah Hun Sen is nowhere close to being a democratic leader. He is a communist dictatorship that was installed by Viet about 30 yrs ago.
