Cambodia Should Look West and East at The Same Time in The Defense of Her Territorial Integrity: Sam Rainsy

November 12, 2009

CAMBODIA SHOULD LOOK WEST AND EAST AT THE SAME TIME
IN THE DEFENSE OF HER TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY

The CPP-dominated National Assembly is planning to suspend my parliamentary immunity on Monday, November 16. There will be a special parliamentary session with the lifting of my immunity being the only topic on the agenda.

I expected this move by the Hun Sen government. It proves how subservient the Cambodian authorities are to the Vietnamese government. On November 4, Vietnam's Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung “proposed that the Cambodian government take due measures to deal with [Sam] Rainsy's acts of sabotage and not permit similar cases to occur, as they negatively affect the fine relations between the two nations.” See official statement from Hanoi at http://www.nhandan.com.vn/english/news/041109/domestic_vs.htm

On October 25, as an elected representative of the Cambodian people, I had only expressed my support for, and solidarity with, Cambodian farmers who are victims of land grabbing along the Vietnamese border in Svay Rieng province. See the context of my intervention context and evidence at http://tinyurl.com/ykblbpr

The attempt to silence me by lifting my parliamentary immunity also shows that the current Phnom Penh government totally ignores King Father Norodom Sihanouk's concern about Cambodian farmers losing their rice fields because of border encroachments by the Vietnamese authorities as I elaborated in my November 7 letter to the Retired King. See related documents at http://tinyurl.com/yzcxqyq and at http://tinyurl.com/yec3hw5

Vietnam's Prime Minister apparently blew out of proportion my symbolic gesture to morally come to help Cambodian farmers who are victims of local injustices involving Vietnamese authorities. But this incident could also show that I embarrassed Vietnam by shedding light on a much bigger issue with strategic implications and much higher stakes than one may first consider.

The recent appointment of fugitive Thai national Thaksin Shinawatra as an adviser to the Cambodian government in order to exacerbate tensions between Cambodia and Thailand may be just a ploy to divert the public attention from much more serious problems concerning Cambodia’s territorial integrity, which appears to be more vulnerable on our country’s eastern border than on the western border with Thailand because of Vietnam’s more subtle expansionist policies and Hun Sen’s subservient attitude towards Hanoi.

Rainsy must not take the laws into his own hand on the border issue with Vietnam. Hun Sen is in charge for RGC and he should have the authority to play his critical political game with Thailand. Rainsy must find way to win the next election in 2013 and if he does win, then he is in charge.

MP Sam Rainsy,you are right track for a change.I wished you shouldn't have done that action on 25/10/2009 alone.
What you need to do now is to invite press corps to go to the eastern border and show them the evidence with the map to prove your point.

MPs from affected area shall help to collect petition from citizens, or concerned individuals then forward it to the Assembly for action. If the Assembly neglected duty then due process and legal action on behalf petitioners shall be followed suit.

Be sure to have copies available for back up and press inquiries.

Indeed, you are brave but you needed not doing it alone.

To protest Government negligence on territorial violation, it must involve grass roots as well.

Vietnam and cambodian government behaves like khmer encroached on vietnam territories.

Worst yet, vietnam shouldn't apply their communist policy upon cambodian citizen or cambodian government.

May this evil youn nation get the same treatment from a more power nation soon.

Don't take the evidence of Vietnam encroachment to Khmer assembly as one commentator suggested. Take it to the UN and European Union. Take Vietnam government and Hun Sen government to the UN court and show evidence that Hanoi steal a lot of Khmer land. As Mr. Rainsy said "Hun Sen tried to take the issue with Hanoi border issue away from Khmer and tries to fool Khmer people about Thailand". Thai won't steal a lot of Khmer land, but Hanoi did steal a lot of Khmer land in the day time. No CPP regime do anything about it.

If Hanoi wants 100 hectars of land, Hun Sen signs for Hanoi and no question asked. But, When Thai tries to steal Khmer land, Ah Hun Sen and his subordinates voices very loudly.

Any attempt to remove opposition leader by any means is a coup d'etat agaisnt Cambodian constitution. If there is that attempt to happen, all opposition members should resign completely and call for international community to review CPP behaviour.

Hun Sen has learned a relevant diplomatic speech but it seems helpful only to those Cambodian farmers and less educated people to believe in him. Important thing, Hun Sen still need to clearly answer the hidden multi-purposes in welcoming and appointing Thaksin as advisor. Whenever Cambodia and Thailand conflict accelerated, Vietnam can strengthen its hegemony over Cambodia successfully. To serve the interests of Cambodia, Hun Sen has to balance the political weigh between Thailand and Vietnam. But I am saddened when Cambodia and Thailand government has skyrocketed enmity with each other.

Hun Sen said "Khmers have only one color now is Khmer". But according to this speech, Hun Sen has created only CPP color but condemn other color. CPP color is Vietnamese by nature.

CPP is undeniably under pressure of Vietnam while Hun Sen is proceeding to implement this policy. CPP is strengthening its close relationship with Thaksin party in order to fight against Abhisit party. With this act, it benefits a lot for Vietnam, not for Cambodia.

Worse than that, Hun Sen and CPP is not reluctantly proceeding the propose of Vietnam to take Sam Rainsy to their biased court regarding Sam Rainsy's concern of border poles planted in Cambodian farmers at Svay Rieng.

Var Kimhong is afraid of losing his face about this poles planting in Cambodian farmer land, or his mentality might already sell to Vietnam or he is Vietnamese (who know?). He accepted to follow the complex GIS procedure of border map by neglecting the complaints of Cambodian farmers who lost their land in this border demarcation procedure.

Vietnam has overwhelmingly stepped over Cambodian head to proceed its successful hegemony and neo-imperialistic domination over Cambodia.

King Sihanouk's letter is seems neglected by Var Kimhong. What Var Kinhong will do next is to maintain face of himself and CPP by allowing Vietnam encroaching Cambodian farmers' land and utilize its strategy of "divide and conquer" in Cambodia land as ever.

CPP is approaching its end-dead as usual for their fear of Vietnam and illiterate leadership of Hun Sen.

Sam Rainsy might face with Cambodian biased court and immunity lifting of hi parliamentary shell. But this time, Sam Rainsy will become hero of Cambodia and Cambodian people will vote for SRP to take turn in serving Cambodia nation.

CPP is expecting to divert attention of Cambodian people via its scheme with Thailand and its dominate mass media. But border issue with Vietnam is also potentially drawn attention from all Cambodian people.

Let balance our thought and action to handle with both Vietnam and Thailand.

Yes, Indeed HUN SEN must look all Cambodian's border not just a certain part that's fit his desire.

He must tell the YOUN not to encroach Cambodian's land as well.

If he does it I'm telling you he will get elected again and again.

And his popularity will be boosting.

Now every Cambodian already happy how he had handled the Khmer/Thai situation. I'm wonder like everyone Cambodian too when is he going to do the same to the borders that border YOUN??

Come on, if HUN SEN protects all border I'm betting you that he will be recorded with respect in Khmer's history in modern time.

It makes you wonder why Vietnam chose not to do anything. Is it because Vietnam trying to take advantage of Cambodia while she is having problem with Thailand? Oh Vietnam. You're bad.

How many times do you hear Hun Sen talk about VN encrochment into Khmer territory, and also about the illegal Vietnamese immigration into cambodia? He is very smart indeed. If he opens his mouth against his boss VN, his PM post will be gone right away. Remember Mr. Pen Sovann? How long did his job last? Why was he arrested and sent to prison in VN? The answer is because he dared to protest VN to protect Khmer interersts.

hun sen never dare to contest any thing against his boss interest scaring to be wiped up from power by viets like his big brother polpot. After all, cpp is a regime topped by vn to serve yuon interest. Polpot killed khmer to be replaced by yuons. As vn puppet, Hun sen let vn sack all khmer resources while majority of khmer are left with empty hands, don’t even have enough to eat. At time Khmers are being killed in different ways to be replaced by mass viet migrants to year to year.

Remember, Cpp or khmer rouge is yuon tool, it is there to defend yuon interest in various ways, not to oppose to it

You right!, Sam Rainsy is not the Head of the Government. But nonetheless, he is an elected official by his constituents and furthermore, he is the President of SRP of whom his memeber as a representative from this province....therefore, he has legitimate reason to solve this problem for his CONSTITUENT....and that is to dismantle those illegal border postes by the Vietnamese Government. So, having to protect and safegaurd the well beings of his constituetns, and his nation are NOT a crime. Encroaching the sovereignty land by the Vietnamese Government...is a crime. First, by violating of bilateral treaties (whatever the Provisiona maybe between the two Nationa..which I hope they are feasable one) and Second, the violating of international law.

Rainsy's acts is not a sabotage one but rather destroy the integrity of a status quo of a Bullying Viet. Cong Government...that is taking advantage of a weaker Nation and Incompetent Government such Cambodia....Evidently, the Viet. Cong's statement prove of otherwise, "sabotage and not permit similar cases to occur, as they negatively affect the fine relations between the two nations."

Personally, do I care for such a shallow and Authoritarian statement by a Viet. Cong's Government with the intention to threat Cambodia....for a mere act of defening of a soverignty land..?

As for the case of Cambodia, clearly there are evidences to prove of that the Veit. Cong's encroaching Cambodian Nation. Hun Sen and his Government are doing NOTHING, but rather are allowing the Viet. Cong to do whatever as they wish...Of course, buying into the Viet. Cong's demand. The Viet Congs's Government will not make it so obvious to the point that World will see it as encroaching but it is encroaching nonetheless. The Viet. Cong is killing Khmer softly....between the Viet. and Cambodia....the history is indeed repeating itself. Khmer Krom is still a legitmate evidence.....of Butchered at birth by the Viet. Cong with the unconsciously supported by the French.

Now, remember! without Sam Rainsy and his members, Cambodia would be Laos the second.....if not it is yet like Khmer Krom.

Hun Sen is not going to win the next election, but he's going to steal it. The guy must be psychic or something; he said he's going to be prime minister until 2043 in one of his speech. In addition, he said there will be civil war If he happens to lose the premiership. I wonder how he came up with that. Is he planning to use his 4000 strong bodyguards to start a civil war if he loses? Poorly equip regular army versus Hun Sen's bodyguards possibly with support from Shitnamese troops. Who do you think will win? Place your bets here.

Let me put in a simple way, Sam Rainsy "will never" be a leader in Cambodia. He had his chance with Khieuv Rada But he blew it (Khmer Nation Party). Remember Sam Sary? He is the father of Sam Rainsy. Case closed.

Hey Brother,

So long as Hun Sen and ah Youn still are roaming and encroaching Khmer land....the case will NEVER BE CLOSED! The fight will continue and even more powerful than you think!

You brought up a classic evidence and example about Sam Rainsy's father and I know your implication! A form of threaten will NEVER exist because today, Cambodia is under the International Community surveillance! Face it! Hun Sen appears to be Authoritarian in Cambodia but once he step his foot overseas particularly the US...., he is NOTHING but a puppy suckling her mother's nipple. Taking another look at Hun Sen and Thaksin....! who is more Premiere? of course, Thaksin.....EDUCATION WIDE...NOTHING COMPARES! GESTURES WIDE? THAKSIN IS ENCLOSED....THAT IS WHAT TRUE LEADER ALL ABOUT! AS SUPPOSE TO HUN SEN....WELL, ONCE A GANGSTER WILL ALWAYS BE A GANGSTER!
