This article should be corrected as Madame Mu Sochua'immunity was lifted for daring to Sue Hun Sen for a defamation case against her. Areak Prey
It's time to return to cockroaches-infested ghetto neighborhood in Long Bitch, Ca.

I worry that these two MPs will not allow to return to Cambodia. This is Hun Sen's laws of the jungle where the perpetrator (Hun Sen) become the victim and the real victim (Mu Sochua) had been portrayed as the villain.
Cambodia under Hun Sen will never become a state of laws.
Fuck all the SRP members. They are not Cambodian, they are fucking American trying to make a mess of Cambodia.
i don't know the whole story, but hope it is for a good cause for nation, not just personal gain or political gain of these self-proclaim politicians. these individuals must be remind and education to put national interest a priority on their personal agenda, if not already! otherwise, what's the use?
what ever u said u must think carefully and be responsible this is the human proverb. Being a leader u must think of ur people first dont think just for ur group. if u avoid u r weak u must show people of ur struggle. dare u? if u r not ready and u dont want to responsible of ur action u r not yet a leader. Pls learn about Cambodian History again how the previous leaders won and lost.
