The National Election Committee (NEC) sent a proposal the National Assembly president in order to cut opposition leader Sam Rainsy’s salary.
According to the NEC, the SRP President contravened the election law during the general election and he did not pay the fine imposed on him. The NEC sent a letter to Heng Samrin, the NA president, on this subject on 24 October.
The NEC recalled on that occasion that people sentenced by the NEC council have up to 30 days to pay off their fines and if no payment is made during that period of time, legal actions will be taken. Sam Rainsy was sentenced by the NEC for insulting 3 CPP leaders and he did not pay his fine during the period allotted. This fine was set by the NEC to 10 million riels ($2,500).
“For the good progress of justice, the NEC wishes to obtain the cooperation of the NA president to cut Sam Rainsy’s salary and use it to pay the fine for the NEC account,” the NEC communiqué dated 27 October explained.

Who cares, Scam is well-funded by his European masters anyway. Cut all you like NA, it won't hurt him a dime.
Do you think Scam work for just the NA salary? No way, you must be kidding. He is like a leech waiting for opportunity to suck blood and juice out of Khmer people as much as possible. That's why he holds foreign citizenship, but want to be Khmer PM. What a joke. You should go back to France, clown.
With this amount of penalty, I wish that i would give a serious fuck, in public to all those bastards.
What NEC? NA? ..... all fuck
NEC should go to court and get a court order to order HE Sam Rainsy to pay the fine. If he does not pay, then the court can issue another to seize his property and sell it to recover the fine due to NEC. This is an aspect of the rule of law.
When I was running CMAC, a partner of a contractor requested CMAC to suspend a payment due to that contractor because of a dispute between them. I told him (the partner) I could not do it unless he received a court order ordering me to suspend that payment.
A few days later, that partner presented me with a court order to that effect. I suspended the payment until I received another court order ordering me to pay the contractor. The contractor could not complain against this supension at all.
That partner has expressed to me his deep gratitude as the suspension of tha payment compelled the contrator to settle their dispute in his (the partner's)favour and he did not have to pay a penny for my advice to him.
But I did not ask him how much he had paid the court to get that order. I did not want to know.
This is one of the benefits of the rule of law.
The National Assembly should advice NEC to secure a court order ordering it (NA) to deduct the fine due to NEC from HE Sam Rainsy's parliamentary allowances.

Mr. Hay, did you just wake up? Or have you been living under the rock for the last decade? This is Cambodia. If you want the rule of law, go elsewhere. What difference does it make if it a court order or not? I am sure a court order can be obtained in no time anyways if they want it, so it make no difference at all.
Are you saying this to show that you are smart, and to tell people that you used to be CMAC director? Go home, dude. No point. I don't see any future for you.
Penh Penha, Phnom Penh.

Idiot! you are so rude to Dr. Lao. I can sacrifice even my life to protect the sake of wise and good speech of Dr.Lao
You should stop your bastard mouth to mention nonsense thing in here.
Cambodian people need the rule of law in Cambodia so that they can live in a just society.
Though the court is not perfect and biased, the order from the court would be the notion of legal strengthening.
But what NEC is doing is just to make a favor to the order of CPP's master. CPP is Youn by origin. It has been structured by the Youn and Youn still overpower in this organization. Those CPP's top leaders can think to escape from this mechanism if they want. But the new breed of Youn like you is going to bolster this puppet organization solely.
Stop your rotten mouth bastard!
I believe you should go away from my country,you always make all khmer against for each other.You sam rainsy you are the most khmer scaming with khmer people so you have to go back to france and learn how to be the good khmer politician.
Yike!
The greatest Khmer poliSickian is Samdech Hun SenVarman who unearthly got so many PhDs without going to school even one second.
Khmer mentality and Khmeritude is unconscientiously loved to kill each other for the sake of power and money, but cowardly and submissively obeyed the masters like Franch and now Youn!
Ah choy mray, ahaeng minskoal rule of law ning hoey ban chea kbal ahaeng yang nis. Ahaeng niyeay mean niy tha protes khmae min trov ka rule of law te, pruos puok ahaeng chea monus mok pi priy, skoal tae doem chhe ning sat. Ah sat, ah peal, ah kbal yuon khluon khmae.
Don't so cheap, Sam. Pay the fine. That's it. Why do you creat many problems?
To 4:16 PM,
It's disappointing for Cambodia to have morons like you who is nothing but bird-headed, shrimp-brained, crocodile-mouthed, vulture-hearted, blind-eyed.
I appreciate and respect Dr. Hay for what he has done for Cambodia. His opinions are critically valuable and worth reading.

Dr Lao got the right idea, but for people like Ah Scam Rainxy, I would used the most expensive lawyer in the country to collect from him, but I will do it slowly and let the bills and interests compound until just before the statue of limitation kick in. That way, the litigation worth hundreds of thousands instead of a few thousands.
The NEC is working for CPP. The NEC received your order from CPP
to remove over a million voters from the voting list because CPP
sure that those people will not vote for them.
Another thing NEC has no right to remove any name from the voting list.
From my perspective, this general election is completely fraud.
Real number that CPP won is only around 50 seats.
Dream on, stupid (12:34)!
Who cares, ah psychopath traitor Hun Sen, youn servant is well-funded by his youn masters anyway. Cut all you like NA, it won't hurt him a dime.
Do you think ah psychopath traitor Hun Sen, youn servant work for just the PM salary? No way, you must be kidding. He is like a leech waiting for opportunity to suck blood and juice out of Khmer people as much as possible. That's why he holds 10 fake Ph.D diplomas , in order to be Khmer PM. What a joke. You should go back to youn, ah psychopath traitor Hun Sen, youn servant.
Dear Dr Lao, Can you read Cambodian constitution again
-Article 76
The deputies shall be elected by a free, universal., equal direct and secret ballot.
-Article 77
The deputies of the Assembly shall represent the entire khmer people, not only khmers from their constituencies.
-Article 80
No Assembly member shall be prosecuted, detained, or arrested because of opinion expressed during the exercise of his or her duties.
I don't know how NEC wanted to fine Sam Rainsy during election campaign. But they cannot fine him for telling Cambodian people that most CPP leaders were thieves as they were >Areak Prey
Dr Lao M Hay with due respect I think you know very well about the rule of law in cambodia. There is Non. NEC/NA/CPP/CPP's affiliated bodies are the LAW in cambodia. NEC only pursues things that are beneficial to CPP.....NEC never consider seriously of the complains submitted by the oppositions in regard to the electoral irregularities. It's a one way street and two sets of rule of law. Look I understand you're trying to promote the rule of law in cambodia....you and others can try as much as you want, as long as we have the same leaders at the steering wheel we cannot expect different outcome. Cambodia is still Cambodia on paper.
