15 January 2009
The Human Rights and Sam Rainsy parties officially signed into an opposition coalition movement, saying they were confident they would be able to defeat the ruling party in upcoming elections by pushing for changes in national election regulations.
Government spokesman Khieu Kanharith said he was not surprised by the move, but said he doubted the two parties together would defeat Prime Minister Hun Sen’s Cambodian People’s Party.
The new coalition, called the Political Democratic Movement for Change, was signed by party leaders Kem Sokha and Sam Rainsy Thursday morning.
“Today is a historic day for the Cambodian people, and it is the time for the people to decide to change the leader in Cambodia,” Kem Sokha told reporters. “We will follow democracy and respect the rule of law and counter corruption.”
The movement so far does not have an organizational structure, and technical details would be discussed later, Kem Sokha said.
“We had a plan to form this movement a long time ago,” Sam Rainsy told reporters Thursday. “We appeal to students, civil servants and all people to join with us for change in Cambodia.”
The leaders publicly urged activists from both parties across the country to work together and prepare for commune elections in 2012 and national elections the year after.

Bravo Samrainsy!!!!!We will win against Ah youn's Hanoi Pupet!!!
Ah Khieu Kanharith is very crazy pupet,
Hund Xen will die in a short time the same Hok Lundy.
Really, the cpp could not last this long in power without cheating, stealing, killing, intimidation, curruptions and hanoi's millitary assistances.
Hun sen mentioned over and over about hanoi's millitary still in cambodia. Its just the world power like UN and other country acts like they don't know. They know, but they don't care.
Its up to oppostions like HRP, and SRP and khmer all over to demand true justice for all khmer.
India's muhamed Ghandi peacefully marched and demand the british empire withdrawal. Barach Obama' audacity of hopes makes changes.
So, can khmer all together demand once again for UN and paris to enforces true justice and total hanoi withdrawal from cambodia completely.
The jews got their justice from the nazi germany. So can khmer truely demands true justice for vietnam to truely respect cambodia sorveinty.
Law are law if enforced. Where there is no demand, there will be no enforcement or justice.
In your dream!
CPP stronger than you're combined.
Sooner or later you will be fighting each other and defected to cpp, and remember I'm not going to take you all.
the PCC can last this long because the Yuons; whithout the Yuns, the CPP would die a long time ago. The DMC should just ignore the intermidation caused by a dictator's dogs. We are living in a modern day, not a century ago; our mind is vitally developing towards more and more civilized state. May God bless you who endeavor and sacrifice for their country and people.
ជំហ៊ានមយយទៀត តើលោកត្រវធ្វើយ៉ាងណា ដើម្បីឲ្យមាន គណកម្មការ រៀបចំការបោះឆ្នោតមួយ មានភាពអព្យាក្ឹរតពិតប្រាកដ?
. . .and here is Hun Sen's logic: "We are the little-educated people with very very low moral qualities; through our betryal of the nation, we were installed in power by the Yuons who are our masters. It is only one in millions of chances to be such lucky; therefore, we must never let this golden chance slip away from our hands no matter what would happen. We don't need to do anything by ourselves but let our dogs theaten or intermidate them. If they don't do it, let's just don't throw them any more dried bones on which they can't live without, OK?."
Just a suggestion to all Khmer people-
Why don't you people just allow us Westerners to run your country? Why even bother with Sam Rainsy and Kem Sokha?
There are many of us Westerners already living and working in Cambodia and dating your women, and you know that we can do a better job running your country than you can run it yourself.
At least most people on this blog agree that Westerners are superior to the Khmer people. Isn't that why you favor pro-Western Khmer politicians like Sam Rainsy and Kem Sokha?
Why not just step out the way and let us colonize your country?
4.48AM
Yes, you can go do it but I can continue to fuck your white women, OK, Mr Khmer Patriot, PhD ?
5:17 AM What the fuck are you talking about? I fuck your little sister just like the other 100,000 other Westerners living in Cambodia. Just tell your sister and daughters to keep their pussies warm for me, because they know they will be saying "Me love you long time". hahahaha
Whoever wrote this article should standardize the writing format. This article seem to indicate that the SRP joining the HRP, when it is the HRP the is the party interesting to join the SRP.
Please standardize the writing format.
When you enter into politic, you have to think as follows:
- Louy ti mouy
-K.....ti pii
- Bon Sak ti bei
-.............
-..............
Ok!
Sam Rainsy party has agreed to join with Kem Sokha party for the DMC. Hope Kem Sokha members will have more power in government seats next election year.
the article clearly indicated that the PARTIES mutually agree and singed into alliance. Oh, and thx 5:40 AM for speaking out for me.
5.40 AM
me love fuck American women too. I love huge cunts. I don't lack white cunts, all I need to do is go to the clubs and pick them up from there. It is free fucking. I even join the swing fucking, full of white women.
OK, Khmer Patriot, PhD ?
What's about Ah Khmer Del Sopport Hun Sen Nov PA Vinh Nous?
6:56 AM,
The person on 4:48 am and 5:40 am are not American at all.
Could be Yuon or Thai people.
Kem Sokha is being used by the Ah Sam Rainsy.
to 7:29AM,
Let me count my comments from the top; I'm 3:52AM, 4:48AM,6:22AM. I admit that I am not American, but I'm Khmer, and you are not more Khmer than I am. Most of my comments focuss on what will be good for Khmer people. I always take side with people, never with the dictators whoever they may be. I think you make a big mistake by thinking that enjoy writing things for fun that sometomes go far beyond decency. I'm not that kind of guy at all.
let me clarify a little bit; there are two 4:48AM, and I am the first 4:48AM.
The one-eye gangster Viet puppet Hun Sen regime in Phnom Penh does not care about Khmer.
Ah Hun Sen will let all those Khmers left over from the Killing Fields die systematically while moving the Viet populace in, assisting them and caring for them as per the secret agreements and treaties ah Hun Sen had signed with the Viet.
So please don't talk about the future of Khmer and Khmer's children anymore. There will not be native Khmers left to care for or to worry about anymore. Look at what the life expectancy of all of those Khmers in the country now - Anybody knows?
In the end, there will be just Viet in Cambodia and maybe a very few Khmer left over but vietnamized from head to toe....
Look around in Phnom Penh now...and tell me what you see...
If all of you SOB want to help Cambodia, you'd better do it and do it pretty soon...or you will have nothing left to save at all...
Hope all of you SOB gets this message!!!
7:04 AM , We are Ah Khmer Nov PA, how about you ah khmer nov ie nah dae? We think all ah khmer parties will not and cannot defeat CPP for the rest of your generation(.)

Kem Sokha has higher moral than Sam Rainsy, cambodian do like Kem Sokha to be the next prime minister of Cambodia than Sam Rainsy. Sam Rainsy was/is listen to his wife more than listen to his members. His wife likes to lead sam rainsy and running affair since married. Some khmer in France said. This new formed wouldn't last long after they start setting organisation structure.

Bravo! Khmer Democrats! I have been hoping for this reunion for a long time. Now it has come true. I am 100% support of this Alliance. Khmer Democrats Will Defeat the CPP (ah Yuon Puppets) once and for all.
I advise that ALL KHMER OVERSEAS must support this ALLIANCE in order to defeat the CPP in next election. Please come out to welcome PDMC members when they visit your local cities and towns. Now I am ready to support the PDMC (Political Democratic Movement for Change).
when the strategic methods of cpp are clearly seen, why don't the parties provides leadership skills to most of their followers?
1) when cpp notice the alliance is strong and solid, cpp will buy out key members by bribing with money and positions...and say if there are too many how can cpp buy all of them?
2)when followers of opposition parties are capable and wise by leadership training and decent job skills equiped by the parties, you think those followers will have two heads or easy to buy out? that's not for sure. We call it--individual conscience with proper and advanced education and they cannot also be buy out too. those followers will stay loyal thanks to parties that open their eyes, mind and brain and they can also become good citizens--and that can be good example and role models given birth by the party!
Opposition parties need to open up more, show its intelligence and smartness by training their members--offer them skills and training to become not only good citizens but the leaders in their communes/villages with proper assistance financially and spiritually.
God bless.
The CPP only buy the best to help Cambodia, and leave rest of the losers behind.
Nothing wrong with that. That is caring.
Yes, best like Nhiek Bunchhay and a whole bunch of idiotic drunkards, right? And soon CPP will stand for a Crowd of Pleu People.
Unlike the opposition parties, the CPP members are sending to the most advanced Technology countries for Leaderships the jobs training. The NEXT CPP generations are the most Educated and capable to run the country with full capacity without opposition alliances.i.e, Dr. Hun Manet Trained from the world class academy on earth, that no cambodian ever attended in whole KHMER HISTORY and so many CPP High Ranking Sons and Daughters, relatives are attending leaderships class everywhere in the Modern world. Don't you look down at CPP huh!
Dream to defeat us or we defeat you?hahaha
A new hope is born. Congratulation!!!
Don't you ever get tired of saying that?
8:19Am Ah Chea Knoy...Tich Anh Kjey Prah Pun Haing 1 Day Aluv Ah Nis!
