Dear Readers,
Again, this letter is so ridiculous. The so-called government's Press and Quick Reaction Unit has issued this letter to the public particularly to rebut to Sam Rainsy in a manner of foreigner expression and division characterization.
We should weigh and use our sub-consciousness to consider this letter as following:
Khmer Rouge regime has already been passed more than 30 years ago, but this letter shows us that "Cambodian people are continuously exploited by the incumbent government who has relentlessly used its rhetoric to dig out the suffering and trauma or Post Traumatic Syndromes Disorder (PTSD) of Cambodian people to benefit their political agenda and foreigner especially Vietnam.Op-Ed: Cambodian Bright Future

We should weigh and use our sub-consciousness to consider this letter as following:
Of course, it is clear for us that this letter writer is tending to continuously divide Khmers and Khmers - at least Hun Sen and Sam Rainsy. If this letter is effective, it means Hun Sen and Sam Rainsy must face each other like a mad dog or a mad blind buffalo.
- Khmer Rouge regime has already been passed more than 30 years ago, but this letter shows us that "Cambodian people are continuously exploited by the incumbent government who has relentlessly used its rhetoric to dig out the suffering and trauma or Post Traumatic Syndromes Disorder (PTSD) of Cambodian people to benefit their political agenda and foreigner especially Vietnam.
- January 7, 1979 has already been passed and this day has illustrated only dark page of Cambodian history especially the divisions among Khmer fractions, but this letter shows only the gut to fulfill Vietnamization over Cambodia. Of course, every Cambodian has realized that KR regime and Vietnamese occupation in Cambodia are two dead story for bright future of Cambodia especially to talk in during our current economic crisis. It is very non-sense story and unproductive folktale. KR regime nowadays is mentioned in the court and in the public to fulfilling the national reconciliation and healing process, not divisive scheme like this letter used.
- Why Sam Rainsy must join Thai journalist club to criticize Hun Sen? Very fool description from this letter writer. Why Sam Rainsy criticized the individuals but not the triangle policies? This statement is so fool by this letter writer. Why RFA and VOA talked about the individual eviction, but not the replacement project...this is very fool again. More than this, we understand well that the same person has written this same pejorative and divisive letters. His word is not different from KR and he is good in using the politics of stick and stone (violence), not with the rule of law. Who is this guy? Cambodian or Vietnamese?
- Of course, it is clear for us that this letter writer is tending to continuously divide Khmers and Khmers - at least Hun Sen and Sam Rainsy. If this letter is effective, it means Hun Sen and Sam Rainsy must face each other like a mad dog or a mad blind buffalo.
Who wrote this letter? He is not representing all top leaders inside CPP at all. As I know, many top leaders inside CPP are smarter than this person. CPP's members and top leaders should thoroughly check this person to see that this person doesn't work to abuse his own power as well as the good characteristic and intelligence of the government.
Sincere Regards,

Commie is still exist in Cambodia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I surely hope that he is NOT A CAMBODIAN. It is bad enough that we have someone who wrote in a very similiar context and logic respresenting Cambodia to England. Then again, if he is a supporter of the CPP then the fool probably wrote it while he was stoned or drunk. A child, a Vietnamese, or a drunk person wrote this. God, just stop opening your mouths, you CPP faggots. You make Cambodians look stupid.
Mrs. Mu Sochua was better to have their own party. She don't need any support from the SRP.

12:35am WHY YOU SO STUPID! YOUR MOTHER WOULD CURSE YOU TO HIT BY A GOAT!
My beloved Khmers!
If my incurable brain of stupidity is still precisely remembered, therefore the Jan. 7 will not nationally be celebrated, 'cause on that date, Da Viet just easily captured the Ghost City of Phnom Pehn after KR intentionally ran away to the West, and Da Viet's soldiers did not have any desire to keep moving forward, till almost the rain season they finally arrived at Pursat Province.
3:02 AM,
True, I don't think the YOUN can't take over Phnom Penh without their Khmer's help (CPP) or the betrayal of Pol Pot. They said they spent less than 24 hrs to Phnom Penh but when they pursue to the west it was taking them months.
There were already its spies had infiltrated into KR's network.
Vietnam: Was It Liberation or Invasion?
by Ronnie Yimsut
January 7, 1979: was it "liberation" or "invasion" of Cambodia by the Vietnamese Arm Forces? This simple question has been a very divisive issue for many in Khmer community across Cambodia and overseas in the past 22 years. What is the correct answer? Was it "liberation" or was it "invasion" by Vietnam? The answer to this simple question can be very complicated.
Depending upon which "camp" one asks, the answer can very well go either way. For many of the Khmer who survived Pol Pot's Killing Fields regime after January 7, 1979, the answer was not at all complicated. To these people, without the Vietnamese Arm Forces entering Cambodia's soil, they and their love ones may have been just another statistic, simply fall victim to the Khmer Rouge's genocidal policy. In this sense, the Vietnamese were in fact "liberators" and even a "Godsend" to some.
However, for many other Khmer who managed to escape Cambodia before and right after April 17, 1975 (or those who were living abroad at that time), their view is the complete opposite. The Vietnamese were simply "invaders" to them. Their view is based on historical perceptions that Vietnam has always been the "take over or thief of Khmer land" and/or "committing genocidal policy against the Khmer people."
These perceptions about Vietnam are also quite valid, historically speaking. The so-called "Kampuchea Krom" (area in today southern Vietnam-including Ho Chi Min City and the Mekong delta region), and the former "Kingdom of Champa" (area in today northern Vietnam) are two historical examples of successful Vietnamese annexation and expansionism. Vietnam's policy in SE Asia, specifically toward Laos and Cambodia, continue to be one of territorial expansion or annexation. Do not expect Vietnamese government to admit to this policy; actions speak louder than word in this case.
The truth to the matter is, to some Khmer people, Vietnam "liberated" Cambodia on January 7, 1979. In this sense, the Khmer people should and must express their deep appreciation to Vietnam for kicking the Khmer Rouge regime from Phnom Penh, while at the same time saving many Khmer in the process. To some Khmer, especially those who had survived the Khmer Rouge's Killing Fields regime, this is no doubt a matter of fact.
On the flip side of the coin, to some other Khmer people, Vietnam became "invader" when it occupied Cambodia for 10 years after the so-called "liberation" was full and complete. Vietnam became an "invader" when its true motive and subsequent policy, including the installation and domination of a puppet regime, led to the destruction of Cambodia's territorial integrity and the Khmer people. This is where Vietnam had failed in Cambodia until the withdrawal in 1989. To many Khmer, in both Cambodia and overseas, this is also a matter of fact.
As the old Khmer saying goes, "to go in the water there is the alligator (Vietnam), and to go on land there is the tiger (Khmer Rouge)." The " tiger" had already killed an estimated 1.7 million Khmer by the time Vietnam arrived in Phnom Penh on January 7, 1979. The "alligator," on the other hand, has mostly historical record of oppression and perhaps limited genocide. The two choices are just as evil and there was no third choice for the Khmer people. Those who survived after the Khmer Rouge's regime opted for the lesser of the two evils. They chose the Vietnamese for a chance to survive just a little longer. People in the right mind would have done the same, should they were facing similar situation and circumstance.
Some Khmer Communist and Issarak leaders subsequently went to Hanoi, but among those who stayed behind, Pol Pot and his faction, who later gained control of the Khmer (Kampuchean) Communist party, blamed Vietnam for having betrayed this party at Geneva. Pol Pot never lost his antipathy for Vietnam. Under his leadership, the Khmer Rouge adhered for years to a radical, chauvinistic, and bitterly anti-Vietnamese political line. Skirmishes broke out on the Cambodian-Vietnamese border almost immediately following the communist victories in Saigon and Phnom Penh, and in less than four years Vietnam was again at war, this time with Cambodia. Vietnam offensive forces crossing the Cambodia border in December 1978 the took less than a month, to occupy Phnom Penh amd most of the country.
When tensions between Cambodia and Vietnam broke into the open, the reason was ostensibly Cambodian demands that Hanoi return territory conquered by the Vietnamese centuries earlier. Vietnam's offers to negotiate the territorial issue were rejected, however, because of more urgent Khmer concerns that Hanoi intended to dominate Cambodia by forming an Indochina Federation or "special relationship." In any event, Vietnamese interest in resolving the situation peacefully clearly came to an end once the decisison was made to invade Cambodia.
The invasion and the subsequent establishment of a puppet regime in Phnom Penh were costly to Hanoi, further isolating it from the international community. Vietnam's relations with a number of countries and with the United Nations (UN) deteriorated. The UN General Assembly refused to recognize the Vietnamese-supported government in Phnom Penh and demanded a total Vietnamese withdrawal followed by internationally supervised free elections. The ASEAN nations were unified in opposing Vietnam's action. Urged by Thailand's example, they provided support for the anti-Phnom Penh resistance. In February 1979, China was moved to retaliate against Vietnam across their mutual border.
The ensuing conflict in Cambodia pitted Vietnamese troops, assisted by forces of the new Phnom Penh government--the People's Republic of Kampuchea (PRK)--against a coalition of communist and noncommunist resistance elements. Of these elements, the government displaced from Phnom Penh by the Vietnamese, Pol Pot's communist Khmer Rouge (which had established the government known as Democratic Kampuchea in Cambodia in 1975), was the strongest and most effective military force, mainly because of support from the Chinese. The extremism and brutality of the Khmer Rouge's brief reign in Phnom Penh, where it may have been responsible for as many as 2 million deaths, made it infamous. ASEAN's concern that the reputation of the Khmer Rouge would lessen the international appeal of the anti-Vietnamese cause led it to press the Khmer Rouge and noncommunist resistance elements into forming a coalition that would appear to diminish the Khmer Rouge's political role. The tripartite Coalition Government of Democratic Kampuchea (CGDK) was formed on June 22, 1982. In addition to the Khmer Rouge, it comprised a noncommunist resistance force called the Kampuchean People's National Liberation Front (KPNLF)--under the leadership of a former official of Prince Norodom Sihanouk's government, Son Sann--and Sihanouk's own noncommunist force (the Armee Nationale Sihanoukiste-- ANS). The Cambodian government in exile needed the added legitimacy that noncommunist factions and the prestige of Sihanouk's name could contribute. The Chinese were reluctant to withdraw their support from the Khmer Rouge, which they viewed as the only effective anti-Vietnamese fighting force among the three coalition members. They were persuaded, however, to support the coalition and eventually began supplying arms to Son Sann and Sihanouk as well as Pol Pot.
B T: A Vietnam-trained revolutionary from Cambodia’s
northeast and a member of the Tapuon minority, Bou Thang returned
to Cambodia in the early s and joined the Khmer Rouge military
before fleeing back to Vietnam in . Under the People’s Republic
of Kampuchea (PRK), he served as the chair of the Party’s Central
Propaganda Committee, a member of the Politburo, deputy prime
minister (from to ), and minister of defense (from to
). Bou Thang’s influence receded in the late s with the rise of
the former Khmer Rouge Eastern Zone cadres and the increasing irrelevance
of communist ideology. He remains a member of the Politburo
and currently serves in the National Assembly.
C S : Trained in Hanoi, Chan Si returned to Cambodia in
as chief of the Political Department of the army and a member of
the Politburo. In he became minister of defense, replacing Pen
Sovan. Chan Si served as prime minister from December , after
the arrest of Sovan, until his death in late .
C V: A teacher, Chan Ven lived under the Khmer Rouge
until , when he took refuge in Vietnam. As a founding member of
the Kampuchean United Front for National Salvation, minister of education,
and mayor of Phnom Penh, he served as a symbol of the PRK’s appeal to Cambodian
intellectuals. Suspected of ideological nonconformity, Chan Ven was
removed from his government positions and appointed secretary-general of the
largely powerless Council of State. He is currently deputy secretary-general of
the National Assembly.
C S: A former Khmer Rouge Eastern Zone district chief, Chea
Sim fled Pol Pot’s purges in and went to Vietnam. As a member of the
Politburo and as minister of the interior, he helped the Vietnamese co-opt former
Khmer Rouge cadres while also developing a personal patronage network
in the provinces and in the security apparatus. After his influence had begun to
concern the Vietnamese, Chea Sim left the Ministry of the Interior in and
took the ceremonial role of president of the National Assembly. Working
mostly behind the scenes, Chea Sim continued to promote family members
and other loyalists and became one of the two most powerful men in Cambodia,
along with Hun Sen. He is currently chair of the Cambodian People’s
Party, a member of the Politburo, and president of the Senate.
C S: A Hanoi-trained revolutionary, Chea Soth served as the
PRK’s first ambassador to Vietnam and as a member of the Politburo. As
deputy prime minister and minister of planning, Soth oversaw Cambodia’s
centrally planned economy and its economic relationship with Vietnam. In
, as Hun Sen was promoting a less ideological set of leaders, he lost the
planning portfolio but stayed in the Council of Ministers, where he had little
independent power. Chea Soth remains a member of the Politburo and is currently
serving in the National Assembly.
H S: A former military officer in the Khmer Rouge Eastern
Zone, Heng Samrin fled Pol Pot’s purges in and went to Vietnam. Selected
by Vietnamese authorities as president of the first government (the Kampuchean
People’s Revolutionary Council, or KPRC) and head of state, his
name became synonymous with the regime itself. At the end of , the ideologically
rigid Samrin replaced the ousted Pen Sovan as secretary-general of the
Party. Less adept at patronage politics than Hun Sen or Chea Sim, Heng Samrin
never accumulated much personal power. In he was replaced as secretary-
general by Chea Sim. Heng Samrin remains a member of the Politburo
and currently serves as vice president of the National Assembly.
H S: A former military officer in the Khmer Rouge Eastern Zone,
Hun Sen was among the first to flee to Vietnam, in . Two years later, at the
age of twenty-six, he became minister of foreign affairs and a member of the
CPP should come out and condemn this letter, and the author to prove that they are not devious.
12:35,
Kem Sokha and his HRP is only in names. I do not trust Kem Sokha with his long long corruptions when he was with CHHIR. Moreover, his brother left his party to join CPP last year.
With allthis isues going on right now of human rights violation, what have HRP in that matter? Nothing! They all been hiding in the crab whole. When he was in jail, SRP in and out of Cambodia work hard for his release. Mrs. Mu also work very hard with all source of activities in front of the jail. Now, that she's in trouble, Kim Sokha have no INTEGRITY, have not done anything to help in return.
Remember he walk for justice after the court verdict on Aug. 04, where's Kem Sokha and his Human Rights Party? Until now they still haven't don't anything regrading all the corruptions and human rights violation in Cambodia.
I really think Kem Sokha and his Human Rights Party is a cancer trying to infect SRP inner organs. Kem Sokha and his Human Rights Party is a rotted root trying to break through SRP's stone. I said that because the only fuss from them is when is SRP going to merge with them with their stipulation. This man, Kem Sokha is an idiot! His party is just a baby with only 3 seats and dare to put stipulation with SRP. If anything, it should be SRP stipulation instead. Again Kem Sokha ia an idiot! He really think SRP is stupid to agree with his nonsense.
If he really have good intention to help our people and nation, he should not have his own party. He should work to streghten the opposition from the begining. With his corruption history, his little party will not help to streghten SRP but to spoiled.
Kem Sokha and all HRP in the world, Please get out of the politic. Kem Sokha, you have been out of the picture since you got booted out from CHHIR. Please don't come back trying to cheat our people again. We already more than enough people like you in the governmnt to deal with already. GET LOST! It really make no sense, Human Rights Party should work with Human Rights Organization not with politic party. We all know you trying to re-enter the politic by using the Human Rights name in your party trying to get a free credit from the real Human Rights Organization which stupid people may cofuse with becasue of the words human rights.
How many of you know HRP? I bet not much right..? That's because they do nothing. Who remember when do HRP do anything to help our people? I bet that's none too!
To 3:17 AM and 3:20 AM,
Thanks for your short explanation about the Khmer policy after 1975. Well, as Khmer I agree with you. But for me, I have never understood why Sihanouk play dangerous game with Vietnam although he know Champa and Kampuchea Krom histoty? The best chance for Khmer was 1993 whereas Sihanouk' son won election but he blocked the real winner. I think that the Vietnam's goal is by now fast already completely over Cambodian policy!
khmer 802
SihanoukVarman should successfully ran against his beloved loving adopted son, Hun SenVarman, not fully and publicly supported him, 'cause back then he was just only SenKhmerRouge!
3:37 AM Thank for your long comment on the wrong subject.You are absolutely brain washed by SRP.
SRP and your clan will run Cambodia same as CPP too.Belong to the Khmer constitution,every Khmer citizen have a right to create or join a political party. Why just blame HRP,why don't you blame the other dozen parties that they come back again and again and gain none
seat.SR alway proud that his party rang #2 in the country.90/26 what mean #2.How long you want to stay #2 may be another 20 years.May be is to late for the Khmer people.
The writer wrote in terrible English, I can hardly understand what he was saying
His writing is terrible or your reading ability is terrible?
3:20AM/3:24AM
