The opposition leader said that he is ready to exhaust all legal venues in the alleged insult case against CPP officials in which he was fined 10 million riels ($2,500) by the National Election Committee (NEC).
Summoned by the deputy prosecutor of the Phnom Penh municipal court on Wednesday 11 Feb, Sam Rainsy declared that he is ready to pay the 10 million riels fine imposed upon him by the NEC, following a complaint brought up by the CPP for alleged insults Sam Rainsy leveled against 3 CPP leaders during the July 2008 election campaign. The NEC fine decision was also upheld by the Constitutional Council.
The opposition leader declared to a group of journalists present that he wished to obtain justice. “Money is not important me, but I want to exhaust all legal venues, up to the Supreme Court, or all the way to the pardon by the king. If at the end I must pay, I will do it,” Sam Rainsy indicated.
Sam Rainsy hopes that, in parallel to this case, the Phnom Penh municipal court will look into the complaints he brought up against several village chiefs and commune councilors for falsification of election lists.
He indicated that these village chiefs and commune councilors should be sentenced to 5 to 6 years of jail time if they are found guilty. “There must be a balance. The NEC sentenced me, but it must also look into my complaints,” Sam Rainsy added.

It's a great move to challenge the Hun Sen's court. Bravo!
NEC bias towards CPP in the tagline?
Be a human being for once, KI. Sam Rainsy is no god therefore he is bound to make mistakes in his life. Doing what he does, bitching his mouth at everyone he can, he had this coming.
Sam Rainsy better not take his father's footstep. Sam Rainsy's father got executed publicly for treason. Did you know that?
If SR doesn't pay he will go through all the run around again - exile, lifting immunity. they never runs of troubles to give him.

My beloved 5:47PM!
I am undoubtedly agreeing with you that SamRainsy ain't God like Samdech Doctoral Hun SenVarman, 'cause he could not do as he publicly wishes.
Since our Mighty Samdech Ta SihanoukVarman is still alive, you will have the great opportunity to as him, why he must openly and unhumanly destroyed the first republic?
Alas! Wait a minute? Mighty Samdech Ta SihanoukVarman is our Khmer hero, therefore these first republicans were bad, bad traitors?
You may be right Dr. Lao! But you remember way way back then - it's Samdech Sihanouk who killed Sam's father, am I right?
អក
P.s. pls forgive me for I don't speak royal language. Thanks.
Nobody did kill Sam Sary, Rainsy's father.
He was dead in the dual at Khmer Krom !
This incident was happen after his removal of khmer british ambassador. England had asked his removal, because he had beaten his wife. England did not listen this domestic's affaire. Bad image for them !
Ah Scam Rainxy will be in Prey Sor soon, and his party will fall apart from internal struggle.
