A FORMERLY united opposition now appears split on whether to boycott this month's swearing in of the new National Assembly, with some politicians saying they will abandon their plans for a walkout if the King does not agree to a separate inauguration.
King Norodom Sihamoni has sent letters to the 123 parliamentarians-elect inviting them to the September 24 swearing in. But the Sam Rainsy Party, which is disputing the poll results, is standing by its request that the King hold a special ceremony for its lawmakers the following day.
"We cannot attend the swearing-in ceremony with CPP parliamentarians because they won many seats due to electoral irregularities. I believe the Human Rights Party (HRP) will also not join in the meeting," said SRP Deputy Secretary General Mu Sochua.
But HRP Secretary General Yem Ponhearith said that if the King denied their request for a change of day, the party would follow his decision.
Koul Panha, executive director of the election monitor Comfrel, said the opposition request was unsuitable.

Almost everyone of us continuously lives surrounding by the mentally submissive slaves. Naturally and generally speaking, the slave and our psychology still are frighteningly flooded after the fall of ancient Angkor, and now every folk in the world becomes inwardly, and of course unwittingly is us. Therefore, because living constantly in the atmosphere of the mentally submissive slaves, we will still constinuously and eternally be infected through the unconscious with our frightful and weak psychology. In Short, evidently and truly speaking, nobody can shield ourselves from such an influence of freedom.. That's one of the simple reasons why we still unconscientiously keep following and belive in the useless King!
This is so beautiful. Khmer killing Khmer. Old story new era. When will Khmer stop hating each other? It will never happen until Khmer learns to lose the ego and notion of "I'm the only true Khmer and you're not."
