THE Kingdom's main opposition party is defending its leader's tactics after the Vietnamese and Cambodian governments condemned Sam Rainsy for uprooting posts marking the tenuous border between the two countries.
In a media statement, Sam Rainsy Party officials said the government had launched a lawsuit against the opposition leader after he removed six markers last week along the border with Vietnam in Svay Rieng province.
"We have not done anything wrong, so we are not scared of anything at all," SRP spokesman Yim Sovann said Tuesday. He admitted he was unsure whether a lawsuit had actually been filed, but said that the party was prepared for legal action following government comments published in the media.
Svay Rieng provincial Governor Cheang Am could not be reached for comment Tuesday but said last week that the law should hold Sam Rainsy responsible.
After uprooting the border posts last week, Sam Rainsy said that the markers had been illegally placed by Vietnamese authorities.
In a statement issued Friday, Vietnam's foreign ministry condemned Sam Rainsy's actions and asked the government to protect the nations' ongoing border demarcation process. The statement called Sam Rainsy's act "perverse, undermining common assets, violating laws of Cambodia and Vietnam, treaties, agreements and deals between the two countries”.
In 2006, Cambodia and Vietnam officially began demarcating their contentious 1,270-kilometre border in an effort to end decades of territorial disputes.

HUN XEN,
YOU SAID, YOU WILL NOT ALLOW TO LOSS ANY CENTIMETER LAND TO SIAMESE. HOW ABOUT VIETNAMES? WELL I UNDERSTAND IT WILL BE TENS OF KILOMETER LAND TO BE LOSSED TO VIETNAMSES. YOU ARE REALLY A PATRIOT TO CAMBODIA.
Now we know who's khmer goverment working for.
HANOI IS VERY HAPPY AND SATISFED WITH HUN XEN'S PERFORMANCE SINCE 1979s. THIS TIME IS ANOTHER TESTING FOR HUN XEN ON HOW TO DEAL WITH SAM RAINSY. OBVIOUSLY THAT HUN XEN WILL TAKE ACTION IN RESPONSE TO HANOI DEMAND ON SAM RAINSY'S CASE. LET SEE...THE TACTICS HUN XEN WILL PLAY..
Sues own race and embraces the enemy.
how cheap when money and power can buy ones' concience?
concerns
If vietnam don't stop messing with the SRP. There gonna be extremist. We khmer have enough of fuging youns and its hanoi commies.
PM Hun Sen, how much are you selling your soul to the evil yuons?
You already have thirty years of power and million of dollars in bank accounts. How much more do you want? Does the word "Khmer" or "Angkor" mean anything to you?
I am afraid that Sam Rainsy's immunity will be lifted and sent to Vietnam like monk Tim Sakorn. Wait and see!!
No individual can free us from the Fucking Evil Vietnamese!
The only way to do it is to reforme the infected Army, Police, and Justice!
Those three elements the Fucking Viet use to kill,imprison, and suppress us!
With no justice, freedome of speach, and laws! We will alway fuck up by the Motherfucker Evil Vietnamese! Under Shihanouk, Pol Pot, Hun Sen, or Sam Raisy!!!!
I see only one way out: POPULAR UPRISING
The Khmers must organize in hit and run death SQUADS similar to the Malays' tactic in southern Thailand.
We must prepare to seize the initiative and take the fight to the viet foes everywhere:
- in the rice paddy fields
- in the Mekong and Tonle Sap
- in the streets of Phnom-Penh
- in the National Assembly
- in the garment sweatshops
- in the School and Hospital
- in the Pagodas
- in the brothels at Sway-Pak district
We must make their life a LIVING HELL.
Lord Buddha willing, we shall prevail.
(This is a material copy from another poster)
That material copy from another poster makes you less of a fanatic then them?
What does really mean? You understand what you are propagating or help propagating?
You are sowing hatred for all Vietnamese, innocent or otherwise.
Every life is precious and we must deal with human life accordingly if you believe in Buddha.
That, said, I agree, many governments are always doing covert actions behind the scene to undermine another country's stability for their own opportunity.
We must deal with that and stay sharp and resist falling trap. But the solution isn't to start an ethnic war.
We hope, Mr Sam Rainsy don't take this case to international stage because it will be ashame to our master Vietnam boss friends, then we will do everything in our power to keep our master honest.
(Signed),
Hun Xen, Chea Xim, Heng Xamring.

The Shitnames are one that are perverse. They send us trash like prostitutes and pimps into Cambodia.
Why won't they send back the all the stuff they looted from Phnom Penh? We don't need your Shitnamese trailer trash. Your language is unbearable.
mr hun sen is a coward.he would not dare to flap his chins about the border issue with viets.
Although SR has done a brave thing, he should have prepared himself in advance. The problems with VN have been there for years. SR should be able to produce a kind of map used by VN and current government, and another one recognized by the Paris Peace Accord. STILL TIME TO DO IT.
CPP could only help if the way SR does is based on well-informed knowledge. The court will always ask for VERIFIABLE evident.
