Ruling party ignoring the more pressing issues

Seng Ratha
Letter to The Phnom Penh Post
Dear Editor,
In recent months the Cambodian People's Party has unfairly cracked down on human rights groups, opposition parties and Khmer newspaper editors.
For example, Mu Sochua, a member of the National Assembly, was openly trapped by the CPP. Between the Cambodian Constitution and Hun Sen's orders, which has proved more powerful?
To crack down on elected parliamentarians is to threaten and intimidate thousands of people in Cambodia.
When the EU, the US, the UN, donor countries and independent critics criticise the government, Hun Sen and his group always say that their critics do not understand the law.
Hun Sen has said he could completely destroy the opposition party in two hours.
But has his government arrested and imprisoned any of the criminals who killed and shot the journalists, opposition activists, singers and actresses up until now? He needs only two hours to destroy the opposition party. How long will he need to reduce corruption?
Hun Sen's speeches will not be able to persuade me to believe in him.

mr. hun sen may be a good leader in other way, however, to be a really good leader, one has to learn to listen to all sides as well. one needs to master people's or social skill. one needs to not be so sensitive (perhaps due to local cultural differences or what have you), one needs to be highly educated, i mean the list of good quality goes on and on... i think it is good to be flexible and humble, especially when dealing with own nation. then, people will respect, admire and inspire by that leader (s) charisma. it takes a learned man to be a good leader, meaning he/she have to be able to proudly say, "i've been there, done that and know what it's like." may god help guide leadership in cambodia to develop good character and lead the country to better future and more. god bless cambodia.
ReplyDeleteTo 1:10 AM,

I wish I could find you and I think I will.

HUN SEN is a piece of shit. He is a leader he can't mocks or curses such speeches to the public. He must conduct himself as a model. Where or what school of anger management did he went through?
ReplyDeleteLike the guy in the article said. How long does it takes him to reduce the corruption??
This is a joke....
Dear All,
ReplyDeleteHere is my simple prediction:
Mu Sochua will apology to Hun Xen in order for her to go back to Cambodia.
I wish that Lady won't come back to Cambodia. She will try to cause problem again.
ReplyDeleteAngkorian Krama Man
yes, a leader is expect to act, say and behave differently above the rest. otherwise, not a respectable leader. it goes for anyone, not just mr. hun sen, to be fair!
ReplyDeletesince the KR brutality, people tend to forget that khmer culture and tradition is a highly structured society that demand and exhibit high respect, honor, integrity, etc. toward one another. well, we all knew the stupid KR destroy the fabric of khmer good culture, so khmer people have to rebuild that trait again, slowly but surely, it will take times,though! just keep educating everyone and be patient as well. thanks the stupid KR for trying to rid khmer of civility or khmer calls "civilai" or civilized culture in english. it's never too late to rebuild that in cambodia. that what khmer people from all walks of life need, to rebuild the good khmer way of respect, honor, integrity, etc again. god bless cambodia.
Hun sen is no better then pol pot. Better yet, he might be worst then pol pot. Time will tell. As of this point, he is proven to be worst then pol pot.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of democratic system, where the prime minister rules absolutely, and over three terms. Only this foolish backward regime, and threaten anyone anytime.
But dares not open his mouth against illegal youns in cambodia. Dares not open his mouth against vietnam or thailand.
It time for this foolish regime to be judged by the people and the international communities.
He said it will take him within 2 hours to destroy the opposition if the opposition use military against him. How on earth the opposition have that army or wants to challenge him? Is he nuts or what? What about take his comments back and said it will take him within 2 hours to get rid the corruption?
ReplyDeleteDamn fool!!!
HUN SEN regime is a dog eat dog world. Soon there will be chaos internally happens in CPP.
ReplyDeleteSOK AN has already making plot to remove HUN SEN.
SOK AN, KOK AN, HOK AN, HOR will control Cambodia...........
Down with HUN SEN
ReplyDeleteDown with Heng Samrin
Down with Chea Sim
Of course, Hun Sen came outside to rant all those rubbish speech is indirectly giving sign to his internal deadly competitor.
ReplyDeleteBut Hun Sen doesn't know how to use SRP as tool to eliminate his internal competitors.
Now, he is creating two enemies: outside his skin and inside his skin.
SRP is not a party that can destroy Hun Sen, but Hun Sen's inside skin and Yuan spies who can eliminate Hun Sen in two hours.
Bad luck for Cambodia.
If you are the political scientist und understand well its theorie in the dictatorian countries you will know that "The policy is a brutal and dirty business".
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, Cambodia has such leader in the 21th. but that will be disappear one day. The history has showed that no one can to be strong for ever, looked to Roman also Pol Pot regime. The question is whether
now or later!
Historic acumen
Most of Hun Sen and CPP supporters have been brainwashed. They don't really see what's going on around the country. Power abusing, land grabbing, corruption , killing , intimidating and alot more by the Goverment Officials . They only believe whatever Hun Sen says on TV and radion.
ReplyDeleteHold your breath for a moment and think about it folks. Why would Hun Sen come out and make this kind of statements? The man is not that stupid! Perhaps, there is some forces/people working against him behind the scene, and he is trying to give them a warning? He got to show that he is in full control.
ReplyDeleteIf HUN SEN having a speech to get rid the corruption within two hours I will bet you that people will applaud him and they will regard him as new god-king of Cambodia.
ReplyDeleteWithin his own fleshes the worm will eat his rotten fleshes.
There is no one mountain taller then the trees or grasses.
If HUN SEN be this tough to YOUN and SIAM I'm sure that Cambodia proud of him.
ReplyDeleteKhmer history has showed which leader or kings were bad or good in the past, this case all Cambodian can convict for themself.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, King(?) Chhey Chetha was the worse leader for Khmers at his reign but one of the other will be the worst than him.
I strongly believe that Hun Sen can take 2 hours to take over Phnom Penh and destroy whoever oppose is Government because he has done that once already . Remember the coup against Ranarith ? But if you talk about Hun Sen standing up to Viet or Thai who invaded our country ,Hun Sen can't do that because he is only strong against his own people who are poor and powerless. It has been more than a year since the fight broke out between khmer and thai at the border , what has Hun Sen done about it ? He has done nothing because he has no ability to do anything .
ReplyDeleteCould it be that HUN SEN wasn't saying it directly to his real opponents and directly said it to Ms. Mu Sokchua. I think the end of HUN SEN is near. Every time when something happens he always diverted the attention to only his enemy and scold his other opponents. There could be a possible of CPPs that favor his removal. Like old Khmer says "Koeng Kor Vai Roteh" or "Mad with the oxes then beat the cart".
ReplyDeleteKhmer Sra-lunch Khmer!!
Well, without support from Viet Agents and Viet soldiers marched into Phnom Penh and every where in the country, Hun Sen may had problem against Ranaridh. The othe hand, Ranaridh is quitter like his father.
ReplyDeleteMirror
Angorian Krama Man .
ReplyDeleteYou most have been blind or on drug that's why you can't see the truth who is causing problems for Cambodian. How can you cause problem if you have no power ? Who has the power between Mu Sochua and Hun Sen ? Hun Sen's court convicted Sam Rainsy for defamation by telling his supporters about ( country for sale ) he saw on GW report even he didn't mention anyname but the same count threw away Mu Sochua's conplaint against Hun Sen for defamation because it said Hun Sen didn't mention anyname on his speech . See the difference there ? And later on Hun Sen turned around suing Mu Sochua for defamation instead.
Angorian Krama Man, read some real news .. don't just believe what you have been told by your CPP .
Band of shit, to rid CPP, it is necessary to ask the assistance of the Chinese, only the Chinese can attack the allied yuons of the CPP.
ReplyDeleteBut there is a price to pay for that. Because the assistance is not free.
Ask Duch all the advice for to do it.

ACID ATTACK ON TAT MARINA
Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime had committed acid attack.
"On December 5, 1999, Tat Marina, age 16, was severely disfigured in an acid attack in Phnom Penh. The attack was allegedly committed by Khun Sophal, the wife of a senior government official, Svay Sitha, because she was angry her husband had a sexual relationship with Tat Marina. Neither Khun Sophal nor those suspected of being her accomplices in the attack were brought to justice. Intense media publicity compelled the Phnom Penh Municipal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Khun Sophal for attempted murder, but the police claimed that they could not locate her, although journalists reported that she was living at home as usual."

TORTURE AND MURDER ON PRAK SITHA WHILE IN CUSTODY BY MISNISTRY OF INTERIOR OFFICIAL
Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime had committed torture and murder.
"On the night of January 16, 2003, a street youth named Prak Sitha was beaten to death at the Ministry of Interior (MOI) headquarters after he was arrested and detained by off-duty MOI officers on suspicion of theft. His body - bearing numerous injuries to the head, torso, arms, and legs - was dumped at a Phnom Penh pagoda the following morning by ministry officers, in violation of police regulations regarding deaths in custody. No criminal charges were filed in connection with this death. In December 2004, the case was cited by the UN secretary-general's special representative for human rights in Cambodia - who stated that Prak Sitha died at the ministry "following beatings by a known police officer" - as an example of a "consistent and continuing pattern of impunity" in Cambodia."

Mean Sokchea, in a drunken stupor, fired his gun and apparently mistakenly hit Put Samphors in the stomach. She was taken to a hospital but later died of her wounds. Mean Sokchea was detained by the police overnight but was then released, allegedly after intervention by Hing Bun Heang. Put Samphor's family received US$2,700 from Mean Sokchea, and the police told them that their daughter was shot while authorities were chasing robbers."

That is really risky, for such mentality to cambodia and cambodians,for that statement of wiping khmers but considered to be opponents in two hours.
ReplyDeleteIt should have been any party can serve cambodians in a perticular time frame set out.And tkis is constructive statement.
Appears that we have lost ourselve in what is called POWER SYNDROME.

Hun Sen government harbor criminals and destroy good doers.
ReplyDeletemr hun sen is just a barking mad dog. he said he would order his revolutionary army to crack down all the oppositions in two hours but in reality mr hun sen is a coward to make such a threat to khmer people. He can't even defend himself without his bodyguards; what a coward! why would you need thousands of bodyguards if you are not a coward?
ReplyDeleteThis is 21st century cambodia, we are not living in the Khmer rouge era. so no one should be concerned about mr hunsen's speech.
He said something, he gets paid for something.
ReplyDeleteWe say nothing, we have to pay for something.
If Mr Hun Sen is so bad, how we didn't find a solution to get it of him from the face of the Cambodia?
ReplyDeleteAre we are also like him?

ReplyDeleteOther leader in this would have resigned already if he was so severely dissatisfied by his people; but for Hun Sen, there is no conscience to think about it.
ReplyDeleteThe trend of calling people "traitor" or neak kbod chiat is very common in a regime that can't tolerate the truth about it's failures and want to keep citizens from voicing dissatisfaction.
ReplyDeleteThese so called traitors who rely on foreign government have not caused any damage more then Hun Sen. Think about this, who relies on foreigner more? Neak na yul borotes pi kroi knong?
Hun Sen's Cambodia Air is 60% Viet owned. Major electricities and telephone and communications service are offered by Vietnam and Thailand. Rivers are damed by Vietnam.
Hun Sen relies on foreigner or not? Oh I forgot, we don't consider Vietnam foreigner anymore right? They're Hun Sen's mother and father, his parents who he should be grateful for for eternity for giving him, a small country boy, a chance to run an entire country.
Name one thing, the patriotic Hun Sen party does that does not involved millions upon millions of dollars of foreign money?
