Hun Sen: Celebrating the 1991 Paris Peace Accords is meaningless


12 Jan 2009
KI-Media

On Saturday 10 January 2008, at a bridge inauguration in Pursat, Hun Sen announced that celebrating the anniversary of the 23 October 1991 Paris Peace Accords on Cambodia cannot be done as Cambodia has too many holidays already. While several opposition parties have requested the celebration of this event rather than the celebration of 07 January, Hun Sen was quoted by The Cambodia Daily as saying: “People want to celebrate 23 October, but I said that it is meaningless.” Claiming that Cambodia has too many holidays already (currently there are 25 national holydays in Cambodia), Hun Sen claimed that investors will not come to Cambodia if there are too many holidays. Hun Sen also indicated that when the opposition parties lead the government then they can do away with the 07 January celebration. Opposition leader Sam Rainsy said that Hun Sen refuses to mark the Paris Peace Accords anniversary because the CPP lost the 1993 national election which resulted from the Paris Peace Accords.

Well... So many members of SRP want
the fall of Funcinpec.
So with the fall of Funcinpec, Le traite de Paris
could be meaningless!
Funcinpec was the meaning of the fighting
against Yuons.
Without Funcinpec, does it worth to celebrate
Le traite de Paris?

Westerns cambodians contribute to the fall of Funcinpec...
Ranariddh is bad.
Well I think we (as western khmers) are much
badder than him.
Before kicking Ranariddh out, find someone who
can replace him.
The one who is committed to fight against
Yuon's control.
Maybe it's too late...

Or maybe the SOMEONE will rise UP !
And don't be so stupid to believe that the SOMEONE
IS SAM RAINSY !

What a maniac. October 1991 PPA (Paris Peace Accords) should be honor and many countries involved in that process. It’s a treaty that reconciled for all parties to achieve peace in Cambodia. This is why people disgust about his attitude as a kwack leader.

Don't forget 7 January + Clonization of Cambodia by Vietnam + Ko PRAM (1982-1989)(K5).

Hun Sen Was President of K5. Many Hundreds of thousand Cambodian people died at the K5.

The president of K5 was the real killer of Khmer people like Pol Pot.

It's seem the memory was erase like a RAM.
In computer, RAM work only when the user open the
computer. After the user switch off, all memories
in the RAM is switch off.
The memory of Cambodians is only like RAM.
Cambodians never use the ROM.

What's a headache and ironic!

This mean before Le traite de Paris, cambodians
does not remember what they had lived with Kwack Sen.
Misery, Poverty, raping, killings..

.......Brain Wash..............Ah Men

Hun Sen is using a good logic for his personal gains such as power, wealth and self-interest. But his rhetoric is surely deteriorating Cambodia's future freedom and national sovereign integrity.

It is unarguable that January 07 are mixing with freedom from brutality and experiencing foreign invasion over Cambodia.

So, this 30 years from the Khmer Rouge brutality is meaningful for Cambodia because Khmer Rouge is not fearful to Cambodia any more. But what is fearful is that the influence and domination of foreigner VN is still overwhelmingly spreading in Cambodia. No body can deny the eternal relationship of Hun Sen and Vietnam (I mean this because not all CPP's members are agreeing with Hun Sen to bend down before Hanoi by celebrating and valuing this January 07 day).

More than this, Hun Sen is good and he is the spearhead to do whatever he can to divide and split Cambodia society into pieces. His speech likes this is to intentionally divide Cambodian peoples into small groups so that his boss, the VN, can take advantage and take over Cambodia easily, eventually.

In short, all Cambodian political parties should pursue their national interests as their absolutely goal. Hun Sen should not say that unless opposition party can control the government, so that they can eliminate January 07 and to celebrate the day of October 23. Saying this is ignorantly dividing Cambodian people and it is stupidly for a national leader.

When KR regime is totally disappeared and KR trial is ongoing performing, it is truly useless to recognize or celebrate the day of January 07, the foreign invasion in Cambodia. Whatever, they want to legitimize the day of January 07, this day is still not making any good for Cambodia's future freedom and national sovereign integrity.

Only October 23, that all Cambodian political parties shook hand to end the internal civil wars and shouldered to build our nation. Without October 23, how can we have current national constitution, monarchy, foreign aids, and others...?

Someone may argue that without January 07, we don't have October 23, but as you know that argument is just a self-interest rhetoric with short-sighted and puppetic leadership by prostrating the foreigner VN.

i respect mr. hun sen's personal opinion about this, however, question should be: what do the majority of the khmer people and citizens in cambodia think about it? i don't think just because mr. hun sen said it, doesn't mean it's the law! remember, nobody is above the law, if so, then it's another whole issue to itself. anyway, put it on the ballot and see how people vote for it, both date, that is. remember, it's a democratic process; otherwise, there will always be arguments and disagreement about it. so, let the majority of the khmer people have the saying about it by the power of their voting rights! thank you.
