Opposition Lawmaker Joins Plea for an Autonomous Tibet

SRP MP Son Chhay

Sok Khemara, VOA Khmer
Washington, DC Monday, 06 September 2010

“Pol Pot's regime was a regime that applied the policies of China...and the Cambodian people suffered in this regime..."
Opposition lawmaker Son Chhay has joined other international parliamentarians in a call for peaceful talks over an autonomous Tibetan territory.

“This is a push from internationals who participated as members of parliament from many countries,” Son Chhay told VOA Khmer.

Son Chhay said negotiations between Dalai Lama and the Chinese was a necessary first step that should be pushed.

Tibet has a government in exile led by the Dalai Lama, following a Chinese takeover of the territory in the 1950s.

In a speech to Tibetans in exile on the 50th anniversary of Democracy Day, Son Chhay said he sympathized with the Tibetan people.

“Pol Pot's regime was a regime that applied the policies of China...and the Cambodian people suffered in this regime, died, and were almost extinguished,” he said. “We understand that is the suffering of Tibet.”

“I also join with the Tibetans in wishing there should be an immediate resolution, in a good way, for giving the proper rights to thousands of [Tibetan] people who live on Indian land to return to their homeland,” he said.

He applauded the non-violent struggle of the exiled government in India to create an autonomous state.

Why he is still not clever and knowledgeable or open mind? How can he compare Pol Pot with China? Chinese communist fought Japanese untill Japan surrender during world war 2, and it try to develop the country from the mess till now It become one of biggest economy in the world. Do you ever visit, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Peijin and other cities in China? You will be surprised by its development. What about pol pot, it destroy everything, stop using money....etc. It use temple Angkor wat as cattle shelter. China develop the country at the same time keeping old tradition culture records. All history of China are preserved very well and keeping even history of neighbouring countries like Cambodia, Do you know Chiev Takwan who wrote diary note during his stay in Angkor period? How about Khmer rouge? they destroy everything even killing intellectual.

Communist in China is not like north Korea, all leaders come to power by their archievement, not by family tree. You see how many leaders China change from Mao Tsetong till current leader?Do these leaders are relatives to each other or not? Chinese now can fly to the moon?You know how proud of Chinese people? Pol pol is stupid do not bring any theories of communism to apply? I don't care democratic or communism, what I care is having enough food to eat, education, culture practice, social justice, freedom under law.
To be against China is most stupid move. Even the US and other countries, they dare not to do so. China is asset, not liability if we know how to use this relationship well. But I think Opposition party can not do so.

SRP now is in disarray. Its leader in exiled and gradually losing its glitter with voters. Son Chhay has nothing better to do but to poke his hose in the wrong places, he should be more vocal about land grabbing and tackle other important issues relevant to national security from the Viet. He comment about Tibet issue is the stupidest up to day as a PM.

SPR, the red shirt in Thailand have been treated badly and unfairly. Please go and save them! you'll be most welcome there! Justice for all people around the glob! SRP motto. I like it!

Hor numhong condemned UN sanction against Iran, Son Chhay condemned China rules in Tibet. Sad, Cambodia seems to be directionless without a clearly defined vision... I will be better if you all have one vision and compete on how to achieve it!

Why you alls still stupid and selfish? Use your knowledge to open mind and heart for goodness? How can you say Pol Pot was not with China? Chinese communist fought the Colonialists with the Kuomintang until they get their freedom after World War 2. It betray the Chinese Nationalist with the support of the ex Soviet Communist and it killed millions of people and burned millions of book during the Chinese Culture Revolution, it brought a big mess to China just like Pol Pot did to Cambodia with communist China’s doctrine.
After they change their policy and accept the help from American that’s it become success in economy which it provide small appliances to the world (China cannot built a good shoe without help from the western countries, forget about motorcycle nor car!
Do you ever visit Shanghai, Shenzhen, Beijing and other cities in China? You will be surprised by its development big houses with no people living in. That what Pol Pot tried to copy, it destroy people and everything, stop using money....etc. It use temple Angkor watt as cattle shelter.
Lucky to China, developed the country in a stupid way, but at the same time the Nationalist (TAIWAN) and Hong Kong (the English) help keeping the old tradition culture records. All history of China are preserved very well and keeping even history of neighboring countries like Cambodia, Do you know Chiev Takwan who wrote diary note during his stay in Angkor period? SEE How Khmer rouge? They destroy everything even killing intellectual just like the Chinese Communist.

Communist in China is not like North Korea, it bigger and richer, it the boss of North Korea and Pol POT, The same for the communists; all leaders come to power not by their achievement, but by family tree and violence. You see how many leaders China change from Mao Tsetong till current leader the Moaeis (Gains of 4) was killed now only the Chou Englay clan is in power? Do these leaders are relatives to each other or not? Chinese now hope to fly to the moon? You know how proud of Chinese people? Until they end up bankruptcy like the Soviet Union? Pol Pol was stupid did not bring any theories of communism to apply? But the stupid Maoist of China instead! But both are stupid and evil but at least the Viet Name with the Soviet was better off than Pol Pot!
You should care about democratic or communism!!! If what you care is having enough food to eat, you will live like animal. Education, culture practice, social justice, freedom under law is coming with only Democracy Society.

To be against China is most stupid move for the communists. Even the US and other countries condemn the China of it lawless and cruelty China would not change cause that small country still afraid of China.
China is an asset to the world only if it change it colonialist policy. Now it is a liability to our human society. To help our democracy world, changing China, only if we all knew how to help each other as human being.
But I think in Cambodia only Opposition party can do so to be part of the world of democracy.
