Royalist parties greet possibility of joining ruling coalition with skepticism and accuse CPP of using divide-and-conquer tactics
OPPOSITION parties Thursday denied jockeying for posts in Cambodia's new government, saying that Prime Minister Hun Sen's suggestion of a broad coalition of political groups was a bid to split his opponents and weaken resistance to his ruling Cambodian People's Party.
Hun Sen, speaking publicly Wednesday for the first time since June, said he would welcome "honest men" into government and that the CPP, which is expected to win 90 of the National Assembly's 123 seats, would again form a government with its old coalition partner Funcinpec.
The royalists could get as many as 30 positions in government, including a ministerial post, government spokesman Khieu Kanharith said Thursday.
"We are waiting for the draft list of government appointments by Nhek Bun Chhay," Khieu Kanharith said, referring to Funcinpec's secretary general, whose faction inside the party has remained loyal to the CPP.
In an apparent allusion to the Human Rights Party (HRP) and Norodom Ranariddh Party (NRP), Hun Sen said that other political groups were also asking for a government partnership.
"I welcome all people...this new government will become bloated but it will not be a problem as long as we all keep working together," Hun Sen said, adding that opposition parties were "going back and forth over positions" in government.
But HRP president Kem Sokha told the Post Thursday that his party never considered an agreement with the CPP, saying his party was instead intent on "finding justice for people who [were disenfranchised]" when thousands of names were left off of voter registration lists, preventing them from casting their ballots.
Senior officials with the NRP and main opposition Sam Rainsy Party also denied asking the CPP for a coalition deal.
"The electoral process is not over, we do not recognise the election results. There is no point discussing coalitions," said Mu Sochua, deputy secretary general of the SRP.
She added that Hun Sen's overtures to other parties was "part of the same pattern - control by splitting."
"We are not falling for this at all," she said Thursday, adding that the opposition's complaints over vote irregularities had to be resolved before the parties could join the National Assembly.
The opposition has threatened to boycott the Assembly's first session, drawing an angry rebuke from Hun Sen, who said their seats - 31 in all - would be given to those parties present.

hey! Nhek Bun Chhay you look so happy but you will see in future man. you party will be nothing.
Haha...he does not care as long as he can make more money in the next five years. Try to save as much as possible. If next election, his party can't win any seat, he still can enjoy those money for the rest of his life. Oh, who know...he may join CPP so that he still can continue enjoying
This guy is so happy cause he is having HUN SEN banana.
And he is so ugly.
What a looser!!!!!!!
My beloved Khmers!
Forgive me for asking a little incredulously, "Are the poliSickal Khmer men so foolishly that they selfishly take care to avoid what mischiefs may be continually done them by the crying patriotism and nationalism, but are unconscientiously content to be devoured by the insanely hungry dogs of CPP?"
Incorrect title for this article:
Hun Sen " TRYING " to divide and conquer? He is not trying, he " DIT "it. It has been his political strategy since day one.
Looks like he's a happy man, and I'm going to be his personal advisor.
Good luck, buddy!
Since the government of Cambodia does not have an oversight or accountability (in fact, DO NOT count on the NEC ‘it’s useless’), a system of checks and balances, I have no faith in the Cambodian system of government.

My beloved 10:36PM!
Of course, indeed he is heavenly a happy man, but wait? He is only earthly a happy dog. Evidently and predictably speaking, soon or later Hun Sen will be sent him a coffin!
From reading all of the above comments, I have confirmed to myself that you fools are oversea Khmer that has no idea of what is really going on in Cambodia. All you know is the words that other Khmer pass around and you take it and believe it.
In case you ignorant Khmer don't know, Bun Chay is part of Funcipec but let's see what he has done that most people don't know. He has taken tanks and armed forces over to Ranarid's house and threatened him to get position in Funcipec party. Bun Chay used to be a dangerous disloyal person.

Fuck you,bitch!
You're fucking know absolutely noting. And don't pretend that you know something.
Go and fuck yourself, bitch!
Every Khmer citizens knows and understands that Cambodia is a country where scapegoat is ubiquitously and prevalently used to demonize and antagonize the opposition leaders or political dissidents, since the government of Cambodia does not have an oversight or accountability (in fact, DO NOT count on the NEC ‘it’s useless’), a system of checks and balances, I have no faith in the Cambodian system of government.

You are so................( well I better keep it to myself )
Rannaridth deserves all the shits from Nhek Bun Chhay, Toan Chay, Ung Huot, etc............, and from all the jungle people who fought for him.
He is very happy now with Ouk Phalla in Malaysia, and just leave him alone and let him enjoy his late honeymoon with her.
Nhiek Bun Chhay is a true national Hero. He escape death several time and even before Hun Sen tried to assassinate him. The problem was the fucking a Ridh and the fucking Khmer overseas who came and had good position in Funcinpec and in government. As a ridh they did not work for the country, but always thinking about money and pussy. NBC had no choice than associate with CPP, otherwise, you would let the yuon alone in control of the whole country. Unfortunately, there is no much human resources around him to help and support with the same bowls and patriotism spirit. Chea Sim and other CPP officials are also true khmer patriots, but what can you do when there is a bunch of idiots licking the ass of the vietnamese? If the khmer overseas are so good in nationalism, don't hesitate and come to fight in the jungle forest or in the jungle policic arena as Sam Rainsy. At least SR and NBC have the bowls to dare and fight here for their idealism...Shouting like a dog like you do is useless. Prompt action or strategies to preserve the khmer nation are better...
By the meanwhile, if i was Hun Sen, i would take away the cambodian nationality from a ridh and put him in black list from entering into CAmbodia until he died. Also remove the monarchy from Cambodia. They are just parasite that sucked, profited and played too much with the khmer people. Like in France before, let kick out all the royal blood suckers from Cambodia, they ll have to be teached a lesson. THe khmer people choose to elect Hun Sen and CPP as the leaders of our country. We have to respect the will of the people. As someone said, we deserve the government that we elected, for the worst or the good. Khmer people are still weak in mentality and seniority in judgement due to years of war. First, what they want is stability. Second, food inside their plate. Then, they will have time the luxury to think about politic and other complicated things like X-Box or PS3 or the new 3G phones or I Pod. By the meanwhile, they lack of protein into their brain for proper thinking. So if the khmer overseas can support food and money for the cambodian people, you are welcome. If you don't like the cambodian government, please come and play politic in Cambodia: we will see if you have the same guts as thru messages in Internet.

You truly need help!
We use our pens -- not weapons, while we let you step on landmines and fight in the jungle. Again, we prefer to use our pens to deal with people like you.
Cia
9:44: i am agree with you. If you don't dare to fight in jungles, use the pens to write things to open the mind of the people. But you should use your pens here in Cambodia, so that everybody can access to opinions and other mindsets. Don't use your pens to write things that you are the only one to read in your room. Do like all these brave cambodians journalists who use their pens and publish their writing locally and face the threats from the government. Use the pens so that all the cambodian people know the truth, not only the khmer overseas or those can acccess the internet.Who can change their life better than the cambodian people locally and on site? Make the light accessible to all the cambodian people.
Finally, this is my last word, do something constructive and useful, by any means to support the cambodian people.

Been there, done that! In other words, yes, I have done just that -- surreptitiously!
