Minister of commerce in Cambodia

Phnom Penh Post
During your years as a minister, has the press treated you fairly?
There are people who think that freedom of the press means they can say what they like, and sometimes they go too far and fabricate stories to harm your credibility. It happens whenever there is an election, the opposition and their newspapers attack us, saying we are corrupt and not doing our job properly. This is the way they operate.
Despite that, you won the election pretty handsomely.
Yes, the result was good for us. We knew we were going to win because we have done so much for the people. But the result went beyond our expectations, and we won more seats than we had anticipated. What is important is that we were able to ensure that it was a safe election. Nobody was harassed, and no one was prevented from voting. Of course, the opposition complain and moan about such things, but later on they will accept the result. They should try to play a proper check-and-balance role, because they have no other choice. What else can they do - just go to sleep and wait until the next five years pass and there's another election?
If you expected to win, why did you need to poach politicians from the opposition?
The people who joined us had seen that the government has done good deeds. They wanted to join us because we have been a success story. Why would they want to continue to be part of a bad story? They want to get on the boat. That is safe.
