FRENCH GOVERNMENT ADVOCATES RESPECT FOR POLITICAL PLURALISM AND DEMOCRATIC DEBATE IN CAMBODIA
Responding on January 28 to a question from French parliamentarian Chantal Brunel, Chairperson of France-Cambodia Friendship Group at the French National Assembly, Foreign Affairs State Secretary Pierre Lellouche declared that the Paris government is “preoccupied” by the situation facing the opposition Sam Rainsy Party in Cambodia.
Besides the case of SRP leader Sam Rainsy who has been recently prosecuted, the French government is also “worried” about the removal of the parliamentary immunity of Ho Vann and Mu Sochua, two other National Assembly members from the SRP.
About the recurrent lifting of opposition parliamentarians’ immunity and their subsequent trials, which the French government “deplores,” State Secretary Pierre Lellouche said, “We cannot accept these practices, which pertain to intimidation.” He stressed the importance that France attaches to the “respect for political pluralism and democratic debate” in Cambodia.
In conclusion, the French government will continue to pay “close attention” and to “actively follow” the situation facing the opposition in Cambodia.

hey, cambodia is not all about only of these three individuals, ok! wake up people! there are more to cambodia than you and i, really!
yes, if they failed to see this, they will always run into trouble by themselves, really! get into the understanding realm, please! or must i say, they like to stay in the ignorant realm? well, they have a choice, pick one and we will know what kind of person they truly are! be blunt, be real, no faking, no cry wolf, please. be honest and truthful with cambodia and khmer people, ok! that way, you can win people's trust, vote, etc... flip-flopping like pad thug is never a good way, really! get educated already, please!
sam rainsy have a biger friend now. the french is going to kick hun sen and cpp ass. better watch out vietnam and better back your ass off of khmer land or else.
can they learn to adapt, adopt and survive like majority of khmer people in cambodia did under the brutal, stupid KR regime? i guess there individuals lived overseas most of their lives, while majority khmer suffered under the hand of the KR! go figure! shame on them because only now they act tough! i'm afraid to say they are ineffective in cambodia if put into influential position there. i don't think most khmer people want that kind of leader, especially ineffective, good for nothing type, really!
hey, cambodia only like the superpowerful countries of the world, ok, not youn, of course!
i bet a lot of people out there hated the viet/youn system, too! so we have that right to hate them as well, you know!
11:18PM, Yeas there are countless others Cambodians love Cambodia too. But how many are doing something about it? How many Cambodians dare to oppose the tyrant Hun Sen?
I believe Mr. Sam Rainsy and Mrs. Mu Sochua doing is beyond thier personal interest. Look at what they have been through for the last decade and a half. Stop and think for a second. Imagine how hard and busy they are for what they are doing in Cambodia and abroad. If not for the Cambodians and Cambodia nation Mr. Sam Rainsy could have stayed in France and Mrs. Mu Sochua stay in United States success and peaceful.
If all Cambodians, including you 11:18PM, stand up together for the ntion Cambodia would be much better then it is today. Cambodia would not have ruled by CPP tyrants.
GIVE RECOGNITION TO WHO DESSERVES!
I dont really understand WHY THE FUCK THE FRENCH HAS TO INVOLVE IN CAMBODIAN POLITIC? FUCK YOU FRANCE! WE DONT NEED YOU TO SAY THAT DEBATE IN CAMBODIA IS A FREE AND FAIR PROCESS, WE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT WELL BY THE US AND WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO WITH OUR OWN COUNTRY. WE DONT NEED YOU. STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM CAMBODIA. BECAUSE OF YOU CAMBODIA HAS LOST CORCHIN CHINA TO VIETNAM UNDER YOUR SO CALLED ' PROTECTORATE ' BULL SHIT. KING AUNG DUONG AND KING SISOWATH, BOTH HAVE ASKED YOU TO HELP PROTECT CAMBODIA, BUT YOU, FUCKING FRANCE, HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OVER CAMBODIA, THUS YOU, THE FUCKING FRENCH AXIS POWER GOVERNMENT AWARDED VIETNAMESE ALL ADMINSTRATIVE POSITIONS TO VIETNAMESE AGENTS IN CAMBODIA. I TELL YOU WHAT...THE NEXT CAMBODIAN CHILDREN KNOW HOW TO BUILD AN ATOMIC BOMBS AND USING NUCLEAR WAR HEADS TO SEND ANYWHERE WE WISH WITHIN OUR NEIGHBORS AND WE CAN PROTECT OUR OWN COUNTRY. WE KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH PLUTONIUM 239 AND URANIUM 235. AT THIS PRESENT TIME WE PRETEND TO BE WEAK AND NIAVE JUST TO SEE HOW FAR THE FUCKING VIETNAMESE AND THAILAND ARE PUSHING US. WHEN ENOUGH IS ENOUGH WE WILL SURELY STRIKE BACK AND WE WILL TAKE EVERYTHING THAT BOTH VIETNAM AND THAILAND HAVE TAKEN AWAY FROM CAMBODIA. THANK YOU AND FUCK YOU FRANCE, VIETNAM AND THAILAND!!!

Like other ex-Khmer rouges, CPP members are coward, they will never dare to race against Sam Rainsy.
How you can change a band of bandits to be honest ?
"" hey, cambodia is not all about only of these three individuals, ok! wake up people! there are more to cambodia than you and i, really!

11:18PM,I KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE FIRST GENERATION OF YOUR FAMILLY THAT CAN READ AND WRITE! SO TRY TO READ MORE AND DO A LOT OF THINKING! AND TRY TO TEACH YOUR STUPPID PARENTS TOO! THEY GET THE SHIT PhD, DUDE!
First 12:16 am post,
Please stop with your ignorance, it is simply embarrassing. You have no idea of what you are talking about. Cambodia is in trouble under the dictatorship of HUn Sen and his band of thieves.Khmer people will continue to suffer from political oppression, land-grabbing, corruption, human rights violations, territorial lost to Vietnam and many other lost. In order, to take Cambodia from the oppressed and poverty stricken state that it is, we need the assistance of foreign powers such as America, France, Canada,England, Australia ...etc.
Sam Rainsy, Ho Vann and Mu Sochua are the voices of Democracy in Cambodia and we need to make sure that they are not silenced!
12:29 am,
YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS, SHUT UP, LISTEN AND OPEN YOUR EYES. TAKE A MOMENT TO READ YOUR KHMER HISTORICAL EVENTS THAT HAS BROUGHT CAMBODIA TO HER KNEES BECAUSE OF FOREIGNT COUNTRIES SUCH AS FRANCE, VIETNAM AND THAILAND. SAM RAINSY, HO VANN AND MOU SOCHUA ARE JUST PAWNS CONTROLLED BY CPP AGENTS. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT SAM RAINSY IS REALLY HONEST TO HIS COUNTRY? LEARN ABOUT HIS FATHER. WHO HAS HIS FATHER WAS WORKING FOR BEFORE HE WAS TAKEN TO BE KILLED. SAM RAINSY HAS BEEN IN CAMBODIAN POLITICS FOR MORE THAN A DECADE AND HE IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. DO YOU KNOW WHY HE CONTINUE TO LOSE? IF YOU ASK ME I WILL TELL YOU WHY HE WILL LOSE AGAIN SHOULD HE CONTINUE TO RUN. BUT YOU ARE TOO CYNICAL TO DIFFERENTIATE WHAT IS REALITY AND WHAT IS A DREAM. IF CPP CAN TAKE OUT FUNCIPEC DO YOU BELIEVE FOR ONE MOMENT THAT CPP WILL ALLOW SRP TO WIN? ARE YOU THAT STUPID OR YOU LACK OF ANALYTICAL ABILITY TO SEE WHAT IS THE TRUTH AND WHAT YOU ARE HOPING FOR. SO THE NEXT TIME YOU WISH TO OPEN YOUR POT OF TRASH LOOK AROUND AND LISTEN...YOU MIGHT JUST LEARN SOMETHING NEW MY BOY.
AND I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT WHEN I USED THE TERM PLUTONIUM 239 AND URANIUM 235. MAYBE YOU SHOULD LOOK AROUND. OH! DONT FORGET TO PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS!!!

at least funcipec is smart to reform or change. and funcipec was history not because they are bad, i think they are history because they were ineffective, full of nepotism, favoritism, the black jack of corruption, too lame, etc, etc, you name it. so, it's good that they are breaking apart to unite and assimilating into a more effective, important organization of cambodia in order to better service our cambodia and khmer people, really! god bless cambodia.
yes, smart people are willing to change and reform, only the bad ones are trouble-maker, really! good for funcipec to wake up and joint mainstream khmer society again in the name of unity, and love of cambodia. god bless them all.
1:01AM... NONSENSE! THANKS AND BLESS THEM FOR JOINING TO HELP DESTOY OUR PEOPLE AND NATION! THAT IS NOT SMART! THAT'S COWARD! AND SELFISH!
I AM GLAD SRP ARE MUCH FIRMER THEN FUNCIPEC OTHERWISE CAMBODIA IS WAY BEYOND THINKABLE IF NO ONE OPPOSING THE TODAYS TYRANT GOVERNMENT. THAT'S INCLUDING THE FNUCIPEC WHO JOINED CPP.

French should show some muscle. French has been on the bed for a long time.
1:57 AM,
It's very bad for your health to eat rice everyday, you must change your food regularly, rice Monday, Potato Tuesday, corn Wednesday..
You'r my man 12:29AM ! Hop they leurn some thing not just stupid like their parents the PhD from Hanoi!
Cambodian parliament is now a dog fighting ground and is not a true parliament at all. Many CPP elected members didn't know what is their mandate at all. They are shoemates for Prime Minister and barking against opposition parties members who were also elected by people.
MP is elected by the people. Therefore, if anything the decision should be openly made by the people not by the National Assembly. National Assembly is just a tool for Ah Kwak Kbot Cheat Hun Sen and his traitor clans. National Assembly is pathetic! National Assembly is ruled by traitor CPPs......
THE WOLE COUNTRY IS RULED BY TRAITOR CPPs.

Under the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime, no criminals that has been committed crimes against journalists, political opponents, leaders of the Free Trade Union, innocent men, women and children have ever been brought to justice.
Mr Hun Sen is known for his often spontaneous, blunt - some might say - crude verbal public utterances. Most people could overlook this part of his demeanour, and some ardent supporters of his regime could easily accept this as indicative of honest, plain, simple provincial folk everywhere, especially, after a few glasses of cheap beer. He could remind many a decent educated Khmer of their embarrassing uncle or cousin from the country who can't contain their propensity to speak from the top of their lungs or boast loudly of their latest sexual conquests and so forth.
However, to be fair, I don't think he is guilty of such private vices, nor that he is an abuser of alcohol (please correct me if I am mistaken), nevertheless, his public performances do indicate that he is 'drunk' in as far as his utterances rarely engage social realities and issues to which his statements refer. When one is intoxicated with one's overweening confidence or pride - as having absolute power over others tend to give way to - one's moral intellect i.e. the ability to distinguish right from wrong becomes distorted and warped in that pride, in like manner to what can be said to occur in the process of illicit substance abuse of some sort.
That 'laws' (mostly, launched through such public speeches) and practices are as incongruous and as far apart as earth and heaven as they have ever been ought not be any point for debate. The so-called PM had in the past publicly threatened, warned against unwholesome activities, from logging, land grabbing, to corruption in the army, and no doubt, will do so again at some opportune time in future. But, even as I write, and you read this note, army generals, middlemen, shyster lawyers, accountants are mulling over details of their dubious deals at a cosy cafe saloon somewhere in town; what remains of the country's forest cover is being relentlessly put to the chain saws.
How is Cambodia to reform the army and work towards independent national defence means - critical if the country is to free itself out of self-imposed subservience to foreign dictates - when neither laws nor verbal assurances of a handful unreconstructed autocratic rulers like Mr Sen and Mr Sim, or those of the diplomatic, self-effacing, yet just as sinister and manipulative Mr An, have not been borne out by concrete outcomes pertaining to public health?
Instead, as this writer stated in the past, meaningful reforms emanate from good, solid public institutions which in turn result directly from good, sound governance, not something frequently confused with personalities, and where personalities become institutions, governance is weak or capricious, being contingent upon the moods and limitations of individuals, (as we all can attest to) public liberty is then trampled upon or at grave risk of being ignored altogether.
With projected revenue in the billions each year from off-shore oil fields for the next 20 years or so, Cambodia could be blessed with an unprecedented golden opportunity to strengthen its social institutions, including the armed forces and social human infrastructures before the revenue runs out. Or it could be a curse if our awkward uncle from the 'country' continues to reign till his predicted retirement in 22 years' time, which is roughly when the said revenue is expected to run out.
MP
These 3 ugly thick faces are the Cambodia's trouble makers. Cambodia can't effort to have those stupid politicians that always use their stunt as political game which created chaos in society.
Naaahhhh, they are not as ugly as your Vietcong Father and "Yuon" bitch mother, got the picture?
FACE OF THE THREE LOSERS! OR A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THREE LOSERS! I DONT SUPPORT ANYBODY BUT THESE THREE IDIOTS MADE CPP STRONGER THAN EVER!
Anyone wants to know about the act of treason from both Lok Hun Sen and Lok Say Poutong, Please read Pen Sovann's biography book below.

Without these three trouble making faces, Cambodia will be much worser than it is now. You should be happy to have these three trouble makers around.
