Cambodia's opposition leader in exile, Sam Rainsy, says the democratic changes sweeping the Arab world will also be felt in Cambodia.
So far there has been no outward signs of coordinated anti-government protests and Prime Minister Hun Sen, who has been elected three times during his 26 year rule, says he will crush any uprising. The comments from Sam Rainsy come after MPs from his party asked Cambodia's king Norodom Sihamoni to pardon their leader, who has exhausted all appeals against a two-year jail sentence, in a case his supporters say was politically-driven.
Presenter: Sen Lam
Speakers: Sam Rainsy, Cambodian opposition leader in exile, leader of the Sam Rainsy Party
RAINSY: As a matter of principle, we have to go through all the legal channels, which is why we have called upon the King. But as you have pointed out, Mr Hun Sen is determined, to prevent the King from giving any amnesty to me. So this is a political problem that requires a political solution. A political solution can come anytime when the political situation in Cambodia changes. As in the past, there has political compromise. When the ruling party and the prime minister Mr Hun Sen is under pressure, then the prime minister will back off. And he would allow the King to pardon his political opponents. i think the political situation will change in the near future. You can see that the whole world is changing. Dictators who have been in place, for ten, thirty years, like Mr Hun Sen must fear now, that the population, their own people want democratic change, want justice. So, after Ben Ali in Tunisia, after Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, and soon, after Moammar Gaddafi in Libya, I think there will be pressure on Mr Hun Sen to step down. Then, the political situation in Cambodia will definitely change.
LAM: Do you see signs of that pressure building in Cambodia, do you see signs of a peaceful Jasmine Revolution, if you like, taking place in Cambodia?
RAINSY: Yes! There are many indications, many similarities between the situation in North Africa and the situation in Cambodia. All the ingredients for a change, a deep change, are there in Cambodia. The Cambodian people have lived under oppression for some thirty years. It's a long time, it's not very different from Gaddafi. it's not very different from Mubarak. There are a lot of social injustices in Cambodia, operation, corruption, lack of freedom.
LAM: You say the signs are there, but the prime minister Hun Sen just recently said that he wanted to rule for the next forty years.
RAINSY: I think Mr Mubarak neither, did not want to step down. And Gaddafi now doesn't want to step down. Therefore, it does not depend on the dictator. It depends on the people. Nobody can deprive a member of parliament who has been elected by the people, of his parliamentary seat. I, Sam Rainsy have been elected by the people. Therefore, only the people can dismiss me from parliament, from the National Assembly. The ruling party cannot chase the leader of the opposition from parliament. This is totally undemocratic. This is the sign - the obvious sign of dictatorship that the Cambodian people will get rid of, in the near future.
LAM: What sorts of conditions are you looking for? What factors will prompt you to return to Phnom Penh?
RAINSY: I am looking for the rule of law. The Cambodian government, the ruling party does not even respect our own law, especially our constitution, the Supreme Law of the Nation.

Yes revolt for yourself !
and I wish you have a good luck !
Recent sacking of convicted criminal Sam Rainsy from national Parliament has raised many eyebrows among SRP supporters who until now advocated insulting and appeal for uprising against Cambodian government to resolve the so called national political and social issues. The sacking which is according to Cambodian laws, but opposition seen as unjust and political motivated, and who care about Arab countries are bracing for widespread people rebellions.
Not so long ago PM Hun Sen publicly stated that he wants opposition not just weakened but dead. It is really clear he intends to achieve his wish, and he even has the means to carry it out. However, one thing we are all clear about is no matter what the opposition crying out for help, the government will never care about it. The Prime Minister is making a right decision which regards Sam Rainsy is no longer has any value in Cambodian politics.
What PM Hun Sen should worry is not about the absence of Sam Rainsy from politics, but is about rebuild the country. Most political analysts or observers would agree that Sam Rainsy's leadership and approach over the years have been very personal, too personal indeed. Many his extremely supporters would prefer to see him adopt a more aggressive stand toward the government, which includes the establishment of a government in exile or underground movement for armed confrontation.
Barring Sam Rainsy from politics is not difficult to predict and good for the country. There is no doubt that Sam Rainsy already faded away from his current role, a new generation of young leaders will definitely emerge to replace him. Any young leader at the helm of the opposition is likely more keen to take more liberal approach and pursue a more dialogue path.
PM Hun Sen is well aware that his government has managed to maintain the current level of stability in the country mainly because his party got more than 2/3 of votes in the last general election and up to now his government makes enormous progress in society, but opposition has never seen it. All they want to see is the social unrest and chaos.
Despite opposition invented that lack of transparency on the Eastern border demarcation, the ongoing land grabbing and forced eviction, and the mistreatment of the opposition leader...etc won't hurt anything to the government but at the same time, it will put themselves enormous pressure to existing in the next election and beyond.
The current social uprising in the Arab countries definitely creates a good excuse for the opposition to lie the people in the coming weeks and months, but the government will have a lot of key options to evaluate and crash down of any protester. As for the opposition, it would be wise and prudent to revisit their decision, and don't ever dream about the reinstatement of Sam Rainsy's parliamentary status, let alone come back to Cambodia. In the present situation, the Royal Palace is the best venue for neutral and out of politics. The opposition should not use the Royal Palace to clean up its political mess.

Hey Sam Gaysy!
I think you are absolutely right to predicted about revolution in Cambodia, but it is happening within your self name party. So, you must put your house in order first, before talking about Jasmine Revolution or Sumura revolution.
Sam Gaysy is just pissed off because nothing is going his way. Continue to isolate him is the best policy.

Khmer in Sydney CBD (2:29 PM),
Here you go again! I see the same message this idiot copied and pasted into the comment box everywhere. Nothing new from Khmer in Sydney CBD, but it is very boring just like Communist country like Youn/Vietnam. This idiot has no brain and does not have a life.
He is Youn/Vietcong pretending to be Khmer/Cambodian and cheated to be Khmer/Cambodian refugee for Australian settlement. He is not really enjoying the democracy in Australia. This idiot and group of Sydney CBD are communist living in Australia which is a democratic country. What are you guys (Communist Youn/Vietcong) doing here to spread the lie about Mr. Sam Rainsy. I am going to send the letter to Australian Federal government and CIA and even Australian people to warn the group of Communist Youn/Vietcong idiots living in Australia and report to Australian Parliament/Federal Government to arrest this group of Sydney CB, trying to destroy the democracy in Cambodia. Why are they (Communist Youn/Vietcong folks) residing in Australia? It must be very illegal for them to establish the Vietcong/Youn party (they are pretending to be Khmer/Cambodian citizens) to create the dirty secret plan to destroy Cambodian people and country. They are the most hypocrite and dangerous Communist groups that tried to attach the democratic people who want their freedom and to be free from Hun Sen and his CPP Youn under Viet/Youn Communist Hanoi.
Again, please, Australian Parliament, Federal Government and people kick this communist Vietcong/Youn groups out of Australia and don't let them stay inside Australia because they might liberate Australian country and take over a piece of Australian land just like they (Viet/Youn Communist) have taken so much land from Khmer/Cambodia for many years and even many centuries.
Please people around the world, watch out the hypocrite Youn/Vietnamese folks living in other countries because they are very dangerous and have very dirty and secret in their minds to take more land of other countries and they expanded their population very fast and unusually on the planet. As you know, there will be not enough food for them to eat and place to stay. That is why they will take your land just they have already taken land from Khmer/Cambodia.
As you know, Australian population is smaller than Vietcong/Youn population. They are trying to increase population to be bigger than Indonesia.
4:23PM
Please don't report my comments on KI to Australian Federal Police and CIA. Oh, Sorry Australia has no CIA as your low education thinking, but Australia has ASIO and ASIS which have authority like FBI and CIA. I beg you guys don't do that, otherwise, Australian government will kick me out of Australia (sic).

Khmer in Sydney CBD (4:47PM),
It doesn't matter. The systems are almost the same like USA. Sometimes UK can call FBI, CIA. Aussie, USA, UK, New Zealand, France are same systems. We can call Australian CIA and FBI instead of ASIS and ASIS because CIA and FBI are well known around the world and is easy for everyone in the world to say like Cambodia FBI, UK CIA, etc.
You don't have to explain to us. We know that. You are Youn/Viet communist group pretending to be Cambodian/Khmer. You have damaged the image of Khmer/Cambodia to save your Communist's asses.
Thanks for hitting back, Youn/Viet Thieves and crooks residing in Australia illegally.

Sam Rainsy, we love you and proud to have you as All Khmer Patriots’ Representative.
You are the One and Only that can speak for all of us against our eternal enemy, the Neo-Colonialist Vietnam and it’s Puppet Government, Hun Sen et Al.
History will show that you are the Heroe of khmer people who dare to tell the true about Vietnam Imperialist in Indo China. The Puppet government and the Cambodian supreme court are the instruments of Yourn to control and appease Cambodian people so that Vietnam can floods khmer Nation with over 5 millions illegal Vietnamese Immigrants. Sooner or later khmer become a minority in their own country. This is the sad fact that no Cambodian patriot can accept and will struggle to get rid of this Eternal Enemy in generations to come.
Long live Sam Rainsy and Khmer Patriots!
Down Ah Yourn and Ah Knhom Yourn!

To 11:15 PM
I just want to let you know that many hypocrite Youn/Vietnamese communists pretend to Khmer/Cambodian (or Youns themselves as they are proud to be communists that hate the democracy in the world) and they are every where in other countries on the planet such from Ausssie, USA-Ohio, etc, trying to insult and ruin the images of Khmer/Cambodian people and manipulate other people of different nationalities or races to hate Khmer/Cambodian people and discredit Cambodian people in order to make them feel better or take the advantages of chaos among the people in the world. Therefore, they (Viet/Youn) will or can kill Khmer/Cambodian people in the blind eyes of the international communities, UN or Human Right Organizations. As you know, Youn/Vietnamese Communist folks have always been the most hypocrite race, trying to trick and create the dirty secret plan to prevent evil doers or actions or save their faces in the world, that Youn/Vietnamese communits are killers/murderers before and after the Killing Fields (not many people in the world know about how dirty and evils Youn/Vietnamese are) and these hypocrite Youn/Viet race has created the ugliest wars with Khmer (and neighbors) for many centuries. I don't know what they want to be in the long haul, i.e., wanting to be a super power and wealthiest nation in the world or something? Very very very stupid!!! I don't know why they (Youn/Vietnamese) have such an evil and dirty minds or ideas on top of every race on the planet or competing with China or something? Their goal is to desire the wealth and power. Sometimes, they did not accept the wrong doing. What wrong with these Youn/Vietnamese idiots and bitches? As far as I know, Youn/Viet bastards want to gain more land, expand or increase population, etc. Stupid and ugly Youn race!!! They want to gain more admirers to admire them how great they are, but again, very ugly and hypocrite.
Khmer Sidney, you were right on the dot. Couldn't have said it any better.
Khmer in Sydney CBD, you are either Ah Yourn disguised as khmer or Ah khmer Knhom Yourn. The wordings in your article indicate all of this. You attacked Sam Rainsy, a khmer patriot who dares to confront the Imperialist Vietnam and it’s Crony, Hun SEn and company.
All khmer patriot love and respect Sam Rainsy. He is the light at the end of the Hun Sen Tunnel. If we do not wake up and rise up together against the Imperialist Vietnam and it’s crony, Hun Sen and company, our khmer Nation sooner or later will become American Indian in the USA living in various Indian Reservations or the Indigenous Australian in the arid interior of Australia.
Anything you said against Sam Rainsy will be in the interest of the CPP and Vietnam. Because these 2 companions will stick together to see our beloved Cambodia will become a part of Confederation of Indo China under Imperialist Vietnam.
Sam Rainsy is the true khmer hero. Only him has the courage to protect Cambodia against the encroachment either by Thai in the west and by Vietnam in the east. If he is Cambodian Prime Minister, he will appeal to the world about the injustice committed by Thai and Vietnam vis-à-vis Cambodia. Unlike Hun Sen, this later prefer to accept the status-quo as instructed by Hanoi.
How can you sit still to see Cambodia sliced pieces by pieces by Vietnam without saying anything against them. Are you Khmer or Ah Yourn? You pretend not to acknowledge that approximately 5 Millions Illegal Vietnamese Immigrants in Cambodia nowadays.
Also you pretend not to know that Vietnam encroach thousands of squares kilometers in the eastern Cambodian Border and many thousands of square kilometers in the Maritime Territory including Kah Tral and others islands.
How can you give such an important role to the Crony Cambodian Supreme Court supported by Hun Sen and his Patron, the Imperialist Vietnam. It is the political instruments set up for the purposes of indicting all khmer Nationalists opposing Vietnam the Khmer Land usurper. Stop harassing Sam Rainsy and joint him in criticizing Vietnam and it’s Crony instead.
