Don't criticize Baby Hun: Papa Hun

Cambodian PM defends son's military promotion

Papa Hun and Baby Hun
PHNOM PENH — Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Thursday defended his son's recent military promotion, a move that has fuelled speculation the young man is being groomed to succeed his father.

Hun Manet, 33, is already chief of the ministry of defence's anti-terrorism unit as well as deputy commander of Hun Sen's personal bodyguard unit.

He was promoted to a two-star general in a ceremony earlier this month, and critics have said his rapid career progression could be seen as an attempt by Hun Sen to consolidate his political power.

But the premier has hit back, saying his son -- who graduated from the US Military Academy at West Point in 1999 and earned a doctorate in economics at Britain's University of Bristol -- was well-qualified for the roles.


"He joined the army in 1994. He has been in army for 16 years, and there is promotion within the army ranks," Hun Sen said in a speech broadcast on national radio.

Chea Vannath, a Cambodian independent political analyst, said Hun Manet's latest appointment was an attempt to "maintain political stability" in the country.

"I think that this promotion is to prepare for a smooth succession," she said, explaining that if Hun Sen ever wanted to quit politics "at least he has paved the way for his son to have a smooth transition, but I cannot tell in what capacity."

Hun Sen, 59, has ruled Cambodia since 1985, making him Asia's longest-serving prime minister. He has vowed to remain in power until he is 90 years old.

from Mike, I am in America, Both of my parent are Khmer, and I am a businessman. I know Mr, Chan, he represent SRP in lowel MA , he work in Metta clinic, I know Nut romdul, Kim Chea, and many more in lowell. I know next month Madam Ransy will be in lowell. you see now most people label other as Veit or traitor are absolutely not acceptable wasn't it? looke at Pictur of CPP leader being label In KI was it acceptable to you if all Newspaper in Cambodia Label Same like that, wasn't it rediculouse?, and wasn't it represent hatreat and low approach to convince people? it dummy isn't it?
Please be open mind for some feed back, it cost you nothing to get to know more about what other see and feel about What SRP had been don so far, there are more biger braind out there than you are. If SRP or CPP both are as good as angels in heaven no one will wast time to oppose their wrong doing.
I just wanted all Ideas be fair in the media, then people will base their decision on the right caurse. Please understand people learn from the failure more than from the success, and as you Know if Sam rainsy he not chang his strategy, after 2013 election SRP will be weaker than Kem sokha, I think Sam rainsy he is good in economy that is what his professional trianed for. He may start from Minister of Economy and finance if, hun sen he allow that to happen please take it.
SRP group not strong enough to run the gov't, Sam rainsy himself not qualify for it yet, for him to be able to run the Gov't as you see Same, he must start to build his leadership skill now wasn't he?.Mike
if you want to know how fair am I please go to khmeriztaion blog I just post my new article there.

The first commentator published whom he knew in Lowell. If you're a real coward, put your real name on the internet.

Some of my friends admired Hun Manet who graduated from the West Point. To me he just is nonething. West Point just pulled him in to make sure he understand democracy. In reality, he is not qualified to attend West Point, period. So don't brag about his West Point graduation with me.

Ah Hun Sen shall be removed by people power. Don't let him live and his family. We shall follow Tunisia's people and topple Hun Shit and his clans from Cambodia. Send them back to Hanoi.

no, hun manet was eligible in his own rights i.e. his college degree from west point, his phd from england, etc... there's nothing wrong with the children of a leader wanted to be a service to cambodia. bush junior did it, the kennedy brothers did it, the roosevelts did it, and so forth... it's not like his father put him there, check his resume, he's met all requirements, etc..., you know! don't hate him because he's beautiful, ok!

Hi Mike, i think there is nothing wrong with other medias, especially those medias support CPP to draw worse picture label on Sam. I am sure that Sam would not upset, sue to court, arrest, or kill you as like as Hoon Xen killed those journalist who criticize him. I know that Sam knows the freedom of speech and he will thanks to those who criticize him. You live in USA you should know the freedom of speech. even if you criticize Obama or you call Obama A Obama he would not kill or arrest you. Unlike Hoon Xen if you call him A Hoon Xen, Hoon Xen will kill you instantly. So do you see the difference between Hoon and Sam and Obama. I am happy to see those medias such DAP, Koh Santepheap, Reaksmey Kampuchea.......support Hoon to let us comment on their article in their newspapers. look at officials in Hoon Xen government what can they do? they only can grab the poor land, fuck young girl, kill civilians, kill opposition people, let illegal vietname live freely in Cambodia, fuck your sister and mother,.............. and if you look at Hoon in 1979 what was he? he is just a former khmer rough who have under high school educated. he can only killed his relative in Kampong Cham and escaped from his boos to vietname when Pol Pot tried to killed him. Why din't he face Pol Pot that time. Why did he escaped to Vietname. He had no idea to bring VN to liberate Cambodia that time. He just escaped for survivor. The real person brought VN to liberate Cambodia was Pen Sovann actually. But this Hoon worked for VN to arrested and jailed Sovann when he tired to send back VN troops to VN. you this Hoon is really a traitor.

Please explain to me how this monky can gain his PhD when he hasn't got even his bachelor degree. How the college in west point military training has to do with economic studies? Usually if you have a PhD degree, your name will be available at Google. Here I couldn't find his name at all. Can any body tell me about this PhD saga?

11:04PM, are you sure your friend graduated from there? Or he applied there, but wasn't QUALIFIED? graduated from West point, joined the military for only 5 years, and then retired? Why so soon? People who graduated from West Point become leaders, not someone who goes and works at a Kmart.lol That must be the lamiest thing I've ever heard. Tell the truth.... your stupied ass friend never even get close to West Point, right?

I have no idea about the promotion of Hun Maneth in terms of his qualification, study backgrounds and achievements just for such a short time. What I may understand is HUN SEN is trying to even strengthen his post in power which will be guarded by his son. Phnom Penh Post reports this today as the successor of Hunsenism. According to his speech in Kompong Cham last two days, he would not set his son to get involved in politics. But can you trust the words of politician especially such a tricky Cambodian leader? Even a young child can guess for sure he is preparing his son to be his successor after 2022 when he gets too old in power. Cambodia will always be covered in Hunsenism while Hun Sen's family is rooting everywhere. TELA is belonged to one of his daughters, Cannadia Bank is belonged to his wife, LHR is belonged to his nephew, the national armed force is under control of his oldest son. All important infrastructures are under the hands of HUN SEN's family. How can common Cambodians survive even now or in the long future? Hun Sen's leadership is all linked with strong network of Hunsenism. Cambodians don't have guns, don't have armed forces, don't have money, don't have power and don't have rights to do like Hun Sen's family does. What can we do? Who can help change this for us? People say at least for 300 years until the clan of Hunsenism family depletes, then we can have something changed. But can we wait and survive until that long? We are worried and feel poor about the children in next generation... Living under political pressure, having no job and little thing to survive when compared to Hun Sen's family, they are rich and have lots of money to pay, to buy servants and dogs to protect them...What Cambodians can do now is just crying, watching VN and Chinese coming to run business over us...Oh, poor Cambodians and out children from generation to generation.

Note jumping up to get the post in power is to start with military first. HUN SEN from the beginning was not awarded his post by election but by this achievements in military affairs using guns and armed forces. When his son is promoted under the military aspect, there will be no doubt it is a sign of successor from HUN SEN. I don't trust all words of HUN SEN. Before trusting his words, we have to think deeply from word to word and link those considerations to the related backgrounds and excuses he had made last time. Example, during the war of words with Thai government, he arranged military rehearsal. Why that time? The reason was to show Thai that he was not afraid of Thai but by his words he said Training his military soldiers so that they did not forget their military lessons. Hun Sen is good at making reactions or excuses against criticism but not consideration and open solutions. Example, reports from Human Rights, he didn't study on their fact-findings, consider recommendations and solutions, in tern, he wanted to close its office. Disappointment from HR envoy, he did not grasp what it was reported during HR envoy's visit but was caught by the disappointment issue....Lots of things happen in the same way and style of Hun Sen until even children can guess what Hun Sen's gesture in politics is like. He is very tricky and always hides something black inside and behind him. If you are clean, please Cambodians be careful with his words, admiration and luring. He will kick you behind if you are not careful....That is what his natural talent has taught him. I always spend time to watch and listen to his speech on TV....He is always good at making speech even with all activities, gestures, sound, facial expression and style of speaking. But please be careful....Don't laugh when he asks you to laugh....Something dangerous hidden in such laughter....From Cambodian student, Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Of course, Cambodian wants to change the regime. But how? Who can help? We don't want our country to be plagued by Hunsenism in such too long period. Hun Sen already declared until 2022 - that means until he is probably 72 years old, and then his son continues for another 72 years and the next is his grandson.....How poor! What I don't like about the regime is corruption, bribery, partnerism, unemployment, freedom of expression...I remember I was fined by traffic police so many times which all cases were too far to be accepted. My mother gave me R10,000 for school picket but I was fined by the police of R10,000. They were extorting me when I suppose it was not from R2,000 to R3,000 as I read in the traffic law. Police, RCAF, MP and other authorities in power are always seeking excuse to extort ordinary people for money. But if you are one of them and know anyone of them, you have no problem. If the world also feels poor about Cambodians, please help us.....Please......Please help us survive in more advancement than this.....Please HELP!!! Please put any pressure on the government to change something which provide real advantage to the common people more than himself and his officers....Please the World HELP!!!

son and dad are two different people, why people like to assume they are the same people! i don't get it! the son is well-qualified in his own rights e.g. he's a college graduate, he's young and rich and smart and intelligent, etc... so, why not? who in their right mind want an ignorant, biased, narcissistic individuals to run cambodia! unless you don't love cambodia, you keep wanting the bad things for cambodia, then your patritism is questionable, really! now the question is: was there another individual(s) who compete with hun manet, but was rejected because his/her qualification? then that's is more like a case of playing favoritism, etc. by the way, that is a form of corrupt by itself, you know! however, this is not the case, so, why whining and bitching in jealousy about it! having a college degree set a person's qualification from the rest of the crowd, so, show them your resume, then you may get hired, etc, you know!
