did he understand English?
hey hun sen go suck monky butts :)
What English? Anch Hun Sen. I speak Hhmer. You people have to speak my language :)
PM Abhisit is also in awkward position. Having to stand next to the Tan Swee's man and the Vietman is not much different than standing next to the trees. They are neutral now, but that could change. His only close comfort is Japan's PM, but that another story. It must be so hard to be Westernized this day, because care comes slow and far in between.
The Nguyen is happy, because everyone knows Japan courting Vietnam for many business reasons and geographical comfort from China. That has nothing to do with anyone, but Vietnam and Japan. Happy goes lucky.
9:32PM,
Your Hun Sen is an arrogantly cocky man. Years ago, when being interviewed with Ted Copple in his tiger lair manson, Hun Sen showed off his broken language in that interview, and I recordrd it from TV. I think, at that time if the interview were to be made in public, Hun Sen with his English would embarrass the whole country.
10:06PM - you fool, do you know how many world leaders don't speak English? That's why we have translators.
I can see that most Khmer have so much hatred toward PM Hun Sen and that they even choose, Thai's government (Abhisit) over him. Personally, I am not a CPP supporter, but currently I am applausing on PM Hun Sen's decissions to stand firm with Khmer enemy (Siem). PM Hun Sen may never been to Oxford or West Point like most of the world leaders, but we can not argueing that he is not a smart politician. Therefore, he doesn't need for us to tell him about Youn is have their hand on his throat. At this point, Youn having an influence on his decission is irrelevant, because Siem have been and will always be Khmer's enemy. We can not win with Siem over the border isssue playing by the rules, so we have to play their game and PM Hun Sen is the best candidate for it. In conclusion, you can say whatever you want about PM Hun Sen, but to me his bloods is Khmer and deep down he still wants to prove that he is one of us. God bless my people.
Khmer USA
You know that HUN SEN is more friend to those leaders such as Laos, YOUN and Myanamr and Japan then Thailand?
If I were HUN SEN I just sit in my seat not even bother to take any photos. Hun Sen is done the right thing!!
10:12PM, You are dumb. By that time there was one translator sat next to him, but he chose to speak English by himself. Your shameless Hun Sen is a cocky man. He wants to show off his broken English, which he thinks a good one.
Khmer USA, you are as blind as Hun Sen is, or according to your comment, you are even worse than him. A leader of a country does not need to go to West Point or Oxford to be a good leader. It is his patriotism and appropriate personality that earn him respect, not his title. Why doesn't Hun Sen stand firm against Yuons if he's not influenced by Yuons?
10:39 Pm, your intelligent is not measure on how many languages that you can utter.
10:50PM, rewrite your comment so I can understand it better. Let me correct you first before you rewrite it: intelligence, not intelligent. measured, not measure.
10:46 Pm,
Look I am not condoning of what he had done in the past, but when it come to standing up against Siem who is Khmer's enemy, I am all for it. You need to go back and read my comment or may be you are a little slow because I never said anything wrong with West Point or Oxford educator. For you to think that I am worse than Hun Sen, you are entitle to your opinion since you are so smart as an Oxford educator. After reading my comment don't forget to take your prozac because it sound like you need one.
10:55 pm,
You are sooooo soooo smaaart, good boy! You are deserving 1 star okay. Bless your heart.
I did not claim as an Oxford educator nor did I say you said anything wrong with West Point. My point is, if Hun Sen has not been under the Yuons influence, then why the hell he never stands firm against Yuons when they repeatedly chopping our land at the border, and it's not in the past; it is right now.
I don't know why Samdech Akkak Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen from Hanoi stand too far? Any problem?
Lao PM show his hand to moved closer? but seem didn't work?why?
Lost translation?
11:12pm,
Look I am not disputing that Youn is chopping our land and no one need you to point that out. My comment was that I am supporting Hun Sen for his action against the Siem right now, what is so hard for you to understand. Not that you didn't already know, Siem had been stealing our land as much as Youn. Stop argueing with me and take some chill pills.

You believe in God, but you don't know right from wrong, ha? You read what you wrote and I quote: "Yuon having an influence on his decission (?) is irrelevant. . ." Anyway, do you really understand what "irrelevant" means?
Here is what is right to do: stainding firm against Thais or other invaders is patriotically right.
And here is what is wrong to do: Allowing Yuons to chop parts of our land along the boder is wrong, and it is well considered as a traitorous act against Khmer nation. God doesn't need to bless me!
It's such an embarassement to Cambodia in general to have a leader behaving like a spoiled KID.
11:42 Pm,
You sir are too smart for me. No, I don't understand what I am writing please guide me with your "intelligence" Sir. Look Mister, I don't give a fuck about your God. Your brain must be very tiny for not comprehending that Siem is as bad as Youn and it is my right to supporting Hun Sen on this issue. You sir sound like a little bitch who is always trying to preach people about your God. Stop shuffle your belief in people throat.
My belief/my God? My butt! My only belief is Buddhism, I am not swayed by any belief.
You misunderstand my point, fool. I blame both Thais and Yuons who have often invaded my beloved country. You are not more Khmer than I am.
Poor and arrogant is not very smart, yet genuin.
Why did he choose to stand away from the rest?.It's so weird.
12:10am,
Look, I don't want to argue with you any more and there is no point since we both Khmer and feeling the same about our beloved homeland. Let just forget about it and just work hard or study hard to help and rebuild our country.
You're looking right at Cambodian hillbillie :) and his names is Hun Sen.
If I were Hun Sen, I would say fuck the photo shoot.
People, you can say whatever you want about Hun Sen, but he have been in power for 30 years now. For those of us who make fun of him or hating him, nothing have been done. Regardless of his limited education and ruthless leadership, he is clever enough to get re-elected time and time again. May be it is time for the oppostion leader to look deeper to see what they have done wrong. Having said that, I am not condoning any ruthless behavior toward our people.
Give the man a break!
This is the time we need to be united strongly against the Thais. We can't fight Thailand and Vietnam at the same time!
We need to learn to unite at all cost against the outsiders first then we can take care of our own internal problems.
Oh, HUN SEN ,don't behave like that.You act like a kid.
I were Hun Sen I certainly don't want to be in this photo shoot with a crazy fool who think that he can push Cambodia and especially Cambodian leaders around as fun and game!
This is more about the Mekong summit than a fucken photo shoot!
good for my prime minister, mr. hun sen for showing a meaningful gesture there, sort of like a protest in his own right. god bless him and cambodia.
good job, mr. hun sen. yes, this is more about the mekong meeting than a photo opportunity which he show less important by his standing position. like who cares, definitely not mr. hun sen as he obviously shown here. mr. hun sen is a smart, intelligent and clever khmer leader, i'm so glad to hear and see he speak only in khmer, my native language of cambodia. yes, cambodia needs more leader like him who is never afraid or shy to talk in khmer even in the international stage. i speak khmer too, if i were him, that what interpretors are for, so don't feel ashame to speak khmer, ok. may god bless him, his family and cambodia.
yes, mr. hun sen's action speaks louder than words, really! he is saying "i don't give a damn with photo ops with ah abishit," really! this is not about phot ops, really!
Hey Hun Sen knows how to play game
with Thai thief. He is gaining more popularity because of Thai thief.
The Thais are a bunch of loonie ultra-nationalists...What is the matter with them??? It's true that Cambodia does not have economic experts of that caliber. That's why Samdech Hun Sen has the insight to import foreign know-how such as Lee Myung Bak of South Korea before he became Prime Minister and now former PM Thaksin of Thailand. The Thais are ungrateful bastards who owe so much to Cambodia for the past 800 years because they borrowed so much language and culture from the Khmers. The Thais have no power or influence beyond their borders. The Cambodians are indeed clever enough to recognise the special skill and talent possessed by Thaksin. Of course they resentful even though he has been discarded by Thailand. One must not forget that all of Thailand was once Khmer land and Bangkok was a Khmer river-bank village. Instead of fostering fraternal friendship between our two peoples (Khmer-Thai) which share so much in common, they choose the wrong path to self-destruction and humiliation. In the eyes of the world, they are indeed a crazy disturbed people...The world is laughing at Thailand.
