Chea Dara (L): His master's (R) voice?Army general accuses opposition leader of 'betraying Cambodia'
Wed, 31 Mar 2010

Phnom Penh - The deputy head of Cambodia's armed forces has accused the country's exiled opposition leader of conspiring with Thailand to destabilize the nation, national media reported Wednesday.
General Chea Dara, who is posted at the flashpoint Preah Vihear temple on the Cambodian-Thai border, made the allegations in a two-hour speech to a crowd of 1,000 students and government officials in Phnom Penh, the Cambodia Daily newspaper reported.
"The betraying opposition party leader Sam Rainsy has colluded with Thailand and sold himself to Thailand to let Thais invade Cambodia," Chea Dara was quoted as saying.
Chea Dara was referring to events in mid-2008 as tensions rose at Preah Vihear after the 11th-century temple was registered by the UN cultural body UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. That move angered some Thai nationalists who claim the temple for Thailand.
The general's comments came two weeks after a court in Phnom Penh formally charged Sam Rainsy with falsifying public documents and spreading disinformation in an ongoing argument with the Cambodian government over the border demarcation process under way between Vietnam and Cambodia.
Those charges could see him jailed for 18 years and would add to the two-year sentence he received late last year in a related border dispute with Vietnam.
Sam Rainsy, who is in France in self-imposed exile, was sentenced in absentia after he removed wooden posts marking the border between Cambodia and Vietnam. The opposition had claimed the posts were intruding into Cambodian territory and costing farmers their land.
Vietnam is a key investor in Cambodia with significant interests in agribusiness, aviation, telecommunications and banking and an important political ally of the ruling Cambodian People's Party.
An opposition party spokesman rejected the general's comments wholesale and said under Cambodian law the military must stay out of politics. Yim Sovann told the newspaper that Sam Rainsy's loyalties were to the Cambodian people and were beyond question.
"Please do not serve any political party," Yim Sovann said, referring to the military. "Otherwise, democracy in Cambodia will be jeopardized."
Chea Dara's comments came on the 13th anniversary of a grenade attack at an opposition gathering in Phnom Penh, which killed 16 people. Sam Rainsy was injured in the attack, which killed his bodyguard.
The attack was widely blamed on forces loyal to current Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, who at the time was in an increasingly unstable coalition with the royalist party.

of course, when more and more khmer people speak up, maybe they are right about what they think of opposition sam rainsy.
yes, freedom of speech goes both way, you know!
now, how many oppositon members are serving in the armed forces? probably none, that's why the general is calling them traitor! it makes sense, right!
TEAHEAN cheat reu teahan CPP?
why this Preah Vihear issues take so long?
Does the Cambodian government want to finish it or need more time? 5 more years or more?
i think armed forces should stay neutral as service to the nation, not taking side in politics; that is bad example, really! cambodia don't need that, and it's so unpopular for armed forces to take side! isn't it against the law?
The picture shows a bunches of Hanoi' circus clowns!
The thai-khmer border conflict youn's circus tricks.
Don't pay no mind to it!
Chea Dara,"The betraying opposition party leader Sam Rainsy has colluded with Thailand and sold himself to Thailand to let Thais invade Cambodia,"
Huh!!!? Should people believe CPPs? Make no sense to me! Mr. Sam Rainsy don't have the power to let Thai invade Cambodia. Matter of facts his immunity was revoke by Hun Sen's government.
Is this CPP's next game by accusing Mr. Sam Rainsy conspire with Thai. Havn't they done enough to Mr. Sam Rainsy and others who work for the interest of Cambodia.
THIS IDIOT MUST PROVIDE PROOF THAT MR. SAM RAINSY IS CONSPIRACY WITH THAIS. OTHERWISE MR. SAM RAINSY SHOULD SUE THIS IDIOT FOR DEMILIZING HE CREDITBILTY, DISINFORMATION. (international court not hun sen's court in cambodia)

since hun sen came to power ,i've never seen him put Tear Hean Bomreu Jiet at easten border.
Freedom of speeches are only for general public. All public servants cannot associated themselves with any political party at all. If they did, they must be fired for conflict of interest. This general is not fitted to serve National army at all. Therefore, Cambodian public must pressure Hun sen to sack him and remove all his positions from public office.

I think Chea Dara is one of the 1997 grenade attacker. I think I remeber reading the FBI files that mention about his name.

..."we will never(allow to ) lose any 1 millimeter of our territory to Thailand or neighbor country..."
This is the statment made by our leaders and repeated by our generals(multi-gold star)...(Is it a lie???...)
Technically, as my experiences during my study in Universities and topofrapgic works of mapping(using GIS/RS/Cartography..etc..)1 mm is very litle however in papers/maps ... and in the terrain and real sites it is difficult to measure ... and by using the most updated GPS machines we still lose some mm therefore no 1 MM lost is a lie BUT "we lost Square Kilometers...."
Excellency Bandit General Diamond Stars Oknha Achar Knoy(=achar wat)
I remember as the time of aircraft crash in Kampot (Phnom Vor/Bokor ranges) killed many korean passenger in the last years for searching the victims bodies... some Generals(highest Commander/commander-in-chief..) did not know how to read the simple topo. maps made during french colony(and Geogr.bureau of Khmer army 1971-72)
Should SRP take Chea Rada to court for misinformation ? He just made up things to stir up strouble between Khmer and Khmer .
Well, in the constitution Cambodia is the democracy state under King but doing is other way.
When someone say the real fact those are opposition part SRP. But you CPP, must to know that how many CPP Children who get best study in west oversea wanted Cambodia go along with old khmer Rouge system? Thinks twice! Most of CPP young generation are open mind then the old bube now or later the country will be changed.
During the Khmer Rouge regime the cadre told me "we will fight agianst Ah Youn our died foo, even we had onle one hand". But two days later they runned aways from and let the poeple 17 April 1975 (class 2 and 3) to sty alone.
Is this propaganda come once again ???

Is it not Hun Sen who appointed Thaksin and support red-shirt and makes the situation worst? Is it not Hun Sen who has oil and Preah Vihear deals with then Thai PM Thaksin government?
Be careful, general with what you say. Preah Vihear temple is very magical. You might be like Huk Loudy.

Can children of ShitWorm turned to be buterfflies?
Are those children realy study or they buy their way out with corrupted money to foreing private school?
Are ther really finish scholl or were they kick out from the foreing country?
I can assure you! if you as school for their credit you will find out that Most of those children would have PhD from unofficial school or PhD from Hanoi!!!!!!
May lightning srike the evils!
it's stupid and ignorant to say children are like their parents. they are not, just because they were bornt doesn't mean they have to be like their parents. studies in the west have shown that that not the case because children learn from their peers, friends, and others at school. unless they are the frogs in the well, then of course, they'll be like their parents. but i doubted nowadays, because they are so open-minded than their parents and more educated too. good for them. remember children are the future. cambodia is so lucky to have a bright future. god bless all.
1:28AM!!!!!!
How their parent are more educated! PhD with no education from HANOI ONG VIETNAME?
How can ther learn from good peers! They hang around and fuck around with the same spicy of Shitworm! They open mind to what?
expesive car, cloths, and drug?
See how the way they drive care and behave in public you can judge on what the evils would be when they replace their evil parent!
Bomboo shut replace Bamboo?
A stupid slave gog will allway a criple stupid slave dog!
OH! KONG KIM AND NHEIK BONCHAY GOT PhD TOOOOOOOOoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
You'r right Chea Dara, Hun Sen is traitor, he defends Yuons who are stealing Khmer lands.
The traitors known as the Cambodian Peoples Party has colluded with Vietnam for years and have sold themselves to let Vietnam colonize Cambodia to the very present.
Let there be a purge to destroy all of these fake Cambodians. The CPP are not Khmer, it has been proven for many many years that they are under yuon command. They and everyone associated with the CPP are a disgrace to the Khmer race, nothing will change them, nothing can bring them back. When there is revolution, do not let them flee to Vietnam, slaughter them before they get that chance.
1:28 AM You're dead wrong man!
5:31 AM You're absolutely right!
PhD = Pimp of Hunnoi Dude
