Sam Rainsy, SRP President, named Phnom Penh MP Yim Sovann as the new SRP spokesman, replacing his colleague Son Chhay. The decision was made during a meeting of the party permanent committee held on 05 Feb. Very well known within the SRP, Son Chhay did not provide any comment on this change.
Furthermore, Ke Sonannaroth, SRP MP from Banteay Meanchey, who was previously the party standing General-secretary shortly after Eng Chhay Eang’s resignation, was officially confirmed as the permanent party secretary-general. The SRP reorganization marks its will to strengthen itself up in preparation for the upcoming election of municipal, provincial, commune and district councilors which will be held on 17 May 2009.

This definitely signal the end of the new DMC. They will never make it to the next national election. A fierce internal battle for position has started between the SRP colleagues.
If the SRP member treating each other like that, how would they treated the HRP members?
Wife and husband tag teams--the true definition of KI-dubbed Kleptocracy. When Sam Rainsy runs the government, there are more of this type arrangement lie in wait. Keep it up and you will be guaranteed to have more defections to the CPP!
Such a negative development within the SRP. SRP again chose a path of cronyism over democratic party development. The so-called "Permanent Committee" is nothing more than a few couples and/or closely related people. All decisions are made by this group where the "Steering Committee" is a useful body. This is why SRP will remain the "opposition" and will continue to be one for a long time. They have little chance unless they change within themselves first.
Yeah, but wait until you see Ah Potato Diggers excuses for their master (Ah Scam Rainxy) to sack Son Chhay his long time friend.
I bet they are all over google right now searching for answer.
CPP is disgraceful, while SRP is suck,and FUNCIPEC (NRP) and HRP are useless.
4:37 PM
And ... you're fucked!
What can we do? Just wait for the miracle which can turn the situation upside down.
Just can't believe while wife is serving as a Gen Secretary, the husband is the spokesman. What and how are they going to critisise the ruling, while they are the same type.
They are just suck!
KI-Media let them know that. I am sure that you can.
sounding like a SRP's is barking there.
yeah... and you are also fucked!
This betray and kleptomaniac action by the SRP dictator will caused many members anxiety that will soon lead to an end of the SRP and the newly planned DMC.
The CPP will be Communist Peckerhead People by the next election. Why? It has badly maltreated those who voted for it.
11:00PM,
Do you know what "dictator" mean?
Yeah, dictator = Ah Scam Rainxy.
How about ah Hun Sen? Ah traitor, ha?
No, PM Hun Sen is our liberator and savior.
You potato-head deserve such a traitor as your pm, because you're hired at the cost of one dried bone to bark. If you stop barking, I give
some very tasty beef. It the quality a bowl-licking delicious beef.
The SRP people looks so pathetic trying to pretend to be a democracy party, but have only one PM nominee in 30 years, hahaha, LOL, hahaha, ....
People in here getting weird. Especially the SOB sucking on sam rainsy's dick all the time . Every word out of his mouth is " scam Xainsy " . That guy suck too many cocks, enough cocks for his whole family. You fucken SOB. LOL keep the cock( scam rainsy ) keep on keeping in your mouth alright baitch. ;)
fuken pussy
Dear Khmer compatriots,
I am shocked and depressed in learning that Sam Rainsy had removed Son Chhay and named Yim Sovan as Samrainsyparty Spokeman and Ke Sovannaroth, Yim Sovan's wife, permanent party Secretary General.
I thought Samrainsyparty had some basic ethics: wife and husband couldn't hold both executive position. I remember that Yim Sovan stepped down from Treasurer immediately after his wife had been named temporary Secretary General.
Do you know that Yim Sovan and his wife, though they speak fluently Khmer, are as Khmer as Hok Lundy, Sok Anh, General Neth Savoeun, Lietenant General Sok Phal etc...
I look forwards to seeing Preah Bath Thermeuk coming to save us.
SOBs sucking Sm Rainsy cock are normal and decent, SOBs who have been sucking Yuons cocks and pussy are weird. They have completely lost their conscience as decent Khmers. The have seen an evil as their god. They are pathetic indeed.
To 6:21AM
Don't be easily shocked and depressed by this news if you have not heard anything severe from inside the DMC yet.
The first BREAKUP inside Samrainsyparty is from Ms SAUMURA TIOULONG, Sam Rainsy's WIFE.
Read her interview to Phnom -Penh Post, Issue 16 / 10, May 18 - 31, 2007
Born in 1950 as one of the seven daughters of former Prime Minister Nhek Tioulong, Tioulong Saumura spent much of her childhood in Paris, Tokyo and Moscow. In her words, she was raised to be "rose in a vase." Saumura studied law at the University of Paris, and earned a postgraduate degree in economics in 1974. In 1980, she graduated from the European Institute of Administration and in 1988 obtained an additional degree in financial analysis. She was director of two banks in Paris before returning to Cambodia in 1992 and serving as deputy governor of the National Bank of Cambodia.
An economist, MP and mother of three, Saumura is an engaging admixture of aristocrat and activist.
"By my behavior and deeds, I try to show that a woman can be a good wife, good mother and still stay involved in things outside her inner circle—especially politics. Most of the time words are empty, what is important is what we do," she told the Post.
Earlier this month Saumura was elected to the Inter-Parliamentary Union's Standing Committee for Sustainable Development, Finance and Trade, the first Cambodian to hold any position in the 150-nation federation of lawmakers.
Saumura talked to Charles McDermid on May 11.
Before this interview you asked if this would be the first article that didn't refer to you as the wife of Sam Rainsy. Why is this important?
When I was young, I was known as the daughter of my father. Now, I'm known as the wife of Sam Rainsy. Everyone says this, and I'm always introduced as the wife of Sam Rainsy. I am a human being in my own right, and I have had to fight for my own identity.
All men are biased against women. It makes me furious: even the best man, in the bottom of their hearts is still a male chauvinist. I think I am married to the best of the best, and even Sam Rainsy is one.
What makes me even sadder is even women are chauvinistic. They are especially that way in Cambodia, but in advanced countries as well. So, I have a long fight before me.
This explains why I am what I am and where I am: in politics in the SRP. It's the best place to advance the cause of women.
You said you voted for Nicholas Sarkozy in the French election. What's he like in person?
I met him during Chinese New Year in 2006. He was attending a celebration in Paris' Chinatown and I was invited. I sat right in front of him. He's shorter than I would have thought. I wouldn't say he has charisma, but when he spoke, I found him genuine, convincing. One of his best friends is a Sino-Khmer restaurant owner in Paris. He maintains friendships with Khmer immigrants. I find this moving and not typical of the French. He himself is the son of immigrants and perhaps has a glimpse of their suffering.
What was your childhood like?
I had a very protected childhood, and I've kept a kind of shyness. My father used to say, when people asked him how many children he had, "No children, only seven daughters." That's why I don't like to be called the wife of Sam Rainsy. It's a style of parenting found in many Asian cultures, that doesn't consider a girl an asset to the family. But it was a very protected environment, and people always knew my father and mother. That may be why people have said I have an "aristocratic attitude."
Do you?
Well, it's difficult to talk about yourself, but it wouldn't surprise me. I didn't come from a family of farmers or traders or restaurant owners. Even my grandparents were civil servants and ministers and things like that. My roots go back to an aristocratic family. I don't see myself this way. I've always been curious about things, and I've always gone to places I wasn't supposed to go.
Who are some women you admire?
The Queen [Norodom Monineath Sihanouk]. She has an extraordinary character. Not only do I admire her — but I love her. She's a great model of a woman. She's much more active than appearances show. Another is Madam [Marie] Curie. She was actually brighter than her husband. Fortunately, he died or the findings they discovered together would have been attributed to him. There are many cases like that.
Are you brighter than Sam Rainsy?
I'm better than him on certain points, and worse on others. We're a good complimentary couple. When we were in France, we were both working. I made more money. He got a lot of enjoyment out of this actually. It takes a strong man to have an educated wife with a strong character. This is not the case of most men.
What's your assessment of the Cambodian economy?
There is an unfair distribution of wealth. This is not a social analysis —just sheer economic —and it doesn't bode well for future growth. Why? In order for sustainable growth, distribution must be as fair as possible. We need to see more emergence of a middle class — they are the ones that consume, invest and save, and constitute the social and economic fabric of the country. If there's no middle class the economy is not solidly based.
Compared to the past, how would you describe the opposition movement today?
It's much stronger then I've ever seen it. Our party is a leading force now and we're much more deeply rooted in the country than ever before. Activists for our party are everywhere. It's a real party and if Rainsy were to disappear — and in the past, with all the threats to his life, we used to ask: what happens now if he disappeared — someone would come forward. The movement would generate a different kind of leader; the party wouldn't go down the drain. The party wasn't formed by Sam Rainsy, but it's his ideas that are the enzymes for the chemical process.
What's Sam Rainsy like?
He's a dreamer, a thinker. He's deeply lost in his thoughts trying to find solutions. He's not an organizer like you would expect. Rainsy is so disconnected, but he has a magic. He sends messages through non-ordinary means and his organization succeeds through these means. He succeeds in mobilizing people. His life has been hard, dangerous, stressful — and it was painful when we went to funerals for all those years. I think, looking back, that the best part of all this is that I've had the best seat to observe the magic.

HUN XEN warned the opposition from interfering in the CPP internal affair: “Those who attacked the CPP, do you know how many of them vanished? Whoever used to interfere in the CPP’s internal affair, they will face retaliation. Retaliation means that we will hit you inside your last headquarter, this is self-defense. The CPP is only self-defending itself, we will not interfere in your affair, but, because you like to incite [our CPP people], I will hit inside your headquarter.”
Hun Sen said that even within the opposition parties, he has some of his men hidden in there, and his CPP people are leading an opposition to their party leaders during the period of preparation for the non-universal election to select district, province and municipality leaders for the entire country.
There is no reaction yet from the opposition parties on this issue

Would Samrainsyparty be the second Funcipec Party and soon explode
The flame inside the DMC has ignited. Soon, Son Chhay will returns fire, and bullets will fly uncontrollably all over the place, and the DMC will be nothing more and rubble and ashes within a few short months.
You see what happened when you work hard for Ah Dictator Scam Rainxy since day1? He'll just toasted you into in the trash can just like a piece of garbage.
