Cambodian National Assembly strips opposition lawmaker's immunity

PHNOM PENH, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian National Assembly on Monday stripped the opposition Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) leader Sam Rainsy his parliamentary immunity.

Sam Rainsy has been lifted his immunity as lawmaker of the National Assembly this morning, Lawmaker from Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) Son Chhay told reporters at his headquarters on Monday.

Eighty seven lawmakers attended Monday's assembly voted to strip the parliamentary immunity of Sam Rainsy, but 26 lawmakers of SRP boycotted the assembly meeting.

Sam Rainsy was charged by Svay Rieng province Court of destroying wooden border demarcation between Vietnam and Cambodia, and attempted to inspire criminal cases in Oct. 25 at Svay Rieng province, the press release from the National Assembly said.

Immunity lifting of Sam Rainsy will allow the court to investigate the case, it said.

Sam Rainsy is the lawmaker from Kompong Cham province and the President of Sam Rainsy Party. The party got 26 out of 123 seats in the National Assembly that ruled the majority by Cambodian People's Party of Prime Minister Hun Sen.

RFA asked Xam RainXy a simple question that "Will he come back to Cambodia to face the Court if Parliament lift his immunity?". He didn't answer the question but at the same he tried to say something which irrelevant to the question, aim to cover up his coward act. What is a funny politician?

Since he pulled off the six poles near Vietnam's border, he always says all along that he doesn't afraid at all if the government sues him, but right now, he can't even step his foot in Cambodia.

As I am often said that Xam RainXy is brave only in front of microphone but in real life, he likes a rat runs around asking other people to help him whenever his political stunt get backfire.

Xam RainXy should go to Thailand and asks his ally (Abhisit and PAD) for helping him.

Who are Cambodians?

This question is being asked to everyone who are reading this message.

- Sam Rainsy Party and members are Cambodians
- CPP party and members are Cambodians

So it makes sense that these two parties have to bear Cambodian heart. But the CPP's parliamentarians who raised hand to show their vote of lifting Sam Rainsy's immunity because of his concern with border demarcation with Vietnam showed us strange and super strange thing in Cambodia politics.

SRP party and CPP party have been working to bring benefits and interests for Cambodia. But when Sam Rainsy dare to check with eyes the border point demarcation and the farm owners pulled out those simple wood-sticks, CPP has taken this issue seriously to the parliament to bully Sam Rainsy. (Note: Sam Rainsy didn't pull out those sticks but as a leader he has to protect those weak farmers by accepting his act in pulling those sticks). But the craziest thing is that parliament members didn't firstly investigate the case properly by using its most ability to respect the voice of voters (people) and minor party.

For Chheam Yeab, he is over-stated the act of Sam Rainsy as "Security Concern" of the nation. Nguyen Tan Dong accused Sam Rainsy only vandalizing public property and undermine friend relations, but CPP's court of Svay Rieng accused Sam Rainsy more than that as racism. But all those accusation is even worse, the worst is Chheam Yeap who accused Sam Rainsy of "undermining national security". This accusation is really unrealistic and not different from Pol Pot.

When Pol Pot wanted to kill someone, they would create a case and accused them as "undermining national security" or "being traitor" etc. Now, under Chheam Yeab, it has become worse than that because to try the case of Sam Rainsy and accused him in that felony verdict it means to threaten Cambodian people in the whole country. Pol Pot killed people they suspected but took firm stance to protect border land in both Vietnam and Thailand. But current government, may be under Chheam Yeab's policy, Cambodia will be easily integrated into Vietnam; or at least in the name of Cambodia but every main policies and leadership must be guided by Vietnam as same as in Lao.

Who is Chheam Yeab?

1. Since the Cambodia-Vietnam supplemental border treaty, to Khmer Monk Tim Sakhorn, to 22 Khmer military PhDs, to allying with Thaksin to slap Abhisit's cheek, and to current bullying of Sam Rainsy etc illustrates the "hell policy of CPP" which has undeniably lost its integrity, independence and self-determination. CPP can use 99% ownership of mass media to manipulate the whole Cambodian people inside this country, but CPP cannot hide themselves from frustration of its self-destruction policy and final demise.

2. The answer must come out directly from CPP's members themselves. Do they want to live longer and pursue self-reliance or not? Many CPP's members and parliament representatives are actually patriotic but how can they untie themselves from this rapid fastening of neo-imperialism approach of Vietnam? Many CPP's members are wanting to defuse the Vietnamese power from inside should start to "walk the talk". However, I don't see they are doing that plan because from day to day, they are firmly becoming strongly tied in trap.

If CPP's members think that your leaders are doing the right thing and current mechanism to handle with Sam Rainsy is correct, I think you are lost in the abyss of ignorance.

In Solidarity,
