Rainsy accuses HRP of trying to ‘break’ SRP

April 20, 2011

OPPOSITION leader Sam Rainsy has accused the Human Rights Party of trying to “break” his own Sam Rainsy Party and steal its members, even as the two parties remain in talks about a potential merger.

In a letter dated Monday, HRP president Kem Sokha wrote to Sam Rainsy to inquire about the terms of such a merger, which has been under discussion for months. Kem Sokha asked whether Sam Rainsy supported an option entailing the merger of the HRP and SRP under a new banner, or a second option in which the SRP would subsume the HRP.

“We support the first option and see that this is an opportunity for a union of patriots and democrats to arrange a democratic movement for change,” Kem Sokha wrote.

In response, however, Sam Rainsy wrote in a letter to his own supporters that the HRP was using the same “tricks” employed by the ruling Cambodian People’s Party to undermine the SRP and induce defections.


Sam Rainsy has lived abroad since 2009 to avoid a lengthy jail term handed down against him last year in connection with a protest he staged along the Kingdom’s eastern border against alleged Vietnamese encroachment. In recent weeks, Kem Sokha has appealed for SRP members to join the HRP, declaring last month that “the HRP will become the biggest opposition party in Cambodia if Sam Rainsy cannot return”.

Such rhetoric, Sam Rainsy said in his letter, is counterproductive in the face of the parties’ merger talks.

“Before choosing any FORMULA for a union, we must first show the required SPIRIT for a genuine and sincere union,” Sam Rainsy wrote.

“In fact, by adopting the CPP’s attitude toward us, the HRP is - willingly or not - serving the CPP interest and they have become a CPP de facto ally, at a time when the SRP is the main target for the CPP in the face of very serious national problems.”

In the 2008 national elections, the SRP won 26 seats while the HRP netted just three. Both opposition parties were dwarfed by the ruling party, which won 90 seats in parliament and serves as an effective rubber stamp for Prime Minister Hun Sen.

During a visit to the Kingdom last year, United States secretary of state Hillary Clinton encouraged the SRP and HRP to put aside their differences and form a united opposition against the ruling party.

Most Cambodian that involve in politic as politicians in Cambodia because they are try to get better position in government and plus better chance of corruption to gain millions of US dollars. That is the only one purpose of most politicians in Cambodia.

They don't care about The Cambodian people, The Khmer Nation as much as they care about their luxurious cars, big modern villas, millions $US deposited in the banks, Sex with teenagers.

If they just put their mind to build Cambodia. The Cambodia will be like Singapore right now or even better Country and Nation.

Innocent Cambodian people die to serve politic but the politicians are the only group get happiness at the end. Is it true through Cambodia history?

Examples:

Prince Norodom Ranariddh and Funcinpec Party, from 1979 to 1993, how many Khmer lives were dying or lost their limbs because of they believe in Dr. Prince Norodom Ranariddh and his Funcinpec Party. They were carry guns, bombs to fight with Vietnam. They don’t even have salary or proper foods. They were fighting because they believe they would have better chance to have better future as they promised them during they were using them as tool to gain power in serve their politic goal.

As they won the election 1993, Funcinpec Party and the party leaders slowly forget them and their suffering in severing Ranariddh and Funcinpec politics goal and purposes. They (disable veterans of war) lived like animals bag people for money on the street but the majority of top Funcinpec Party are living in Luxury lifestyle practice their European lifestyle and their Royal lifestyle. The disable veterans that were serve them before can’t even meet them ask for their charity because they simply have forgotten and order their bodyguard push them away like animals.

1997 Thousand of Khmer lives again were dying for serving Ranariddh and Funcinpec Party leaders but they have been simply forgotten by Dr. Ranariddh and Funcinpec Party again and again. They were dying for the sake of serving politic lead by the politicians as mention above.

So the question is “Are you Khmer people willing to die for they can be rich and famous and you be forgotten?”

Kem Sokha has been acting like a CPP puppet . If he wants to unite SRP and HRP , he doesn't need to ask SRP supporters to join HRP because they will be just one anyway.
This is to poster 3:20 pm .

In democratic fashion, no one can stop people from changing from one party into another unless their own party has a clear policy which meet with people expectation and people interest. When you call yourself as a Nationalist party, you need to scarify yourself as a role model of others before other pay their loyalty to you. Indeed these two parties shall not take that long to talk for working together.
The discussions should be divided into two steps.
1-Policy: Each party must put all their policies on the table. They have to collect all their common goals and try to extend as much they can to accommodate their different so that they can work together with harmony.
2-Power sharing if they can be elected as government.
A-Prime Minister position and deputy prime Minister
B-Ministerial positions.
C-Political appointment positions such;
a-Government officials such as State secretaries, Deputies State secretaries.
b-Local government governors
c-Overseas posts such as Ambassadors, Consulate General and consul staffs.
d-State enterprises: Board members, Directors of electricity board, National rails, TV stations, Radio, Banks, Water distribution, Transportations authority etc.. and etc.. which covered at least about 5000 positions.
Therefore each party could have quite a numbers of positions for their quota if they are elected.

I agree with Areak Prey. Let's focus changing the country. So what if Kem and Saim don't agree with each other. Let them sit in the room and argue until the cow come home. But, we the khmer people, shouldn't ! We can united ourself and pick a new leader to lead us. To me, uniting two into parties into one is easy task, comparing to run the country, with thousand of interest groups influences. This merger failure, demonstrated, weak leadership, hence, stop supporting these guy. Let's form and united and pick a new leader. Time is running out!!!

Eh oppositions, just keep on tearing each other apart.
I bet Hun Sen and the Viet dogs are laughing their butts off.
The Viet have used the same old trick for the Khmer nationalists to fight each other.
No wonder Cambodia has been so easy to conquer by its neighbor.

Khmer people are dying to fight you, Yuon idiot. Khmer/Cambodian people have been through so much much and suffered enough and more than enough. You, Yuon CPP and Hun Sen will collapse soon. Don't be such a coward. Khmer people have many friends from the outside. Your Communist Vietnamese bastards will be bombed like Hell and then catch Hun Sen and CPP Yuon bastards in Phnom Pehn and bring those bastards to the International Courts. Then hang them like Saddam Hussein.

My beloved 3:28PM!

I undeniably, but only partly agree with ya,
Dr. Ridth ain't patriotically a poliSickain nor nationalist, 'cause he personally ain't entirely different from his old man, SihanoukVarman. Evidently speaking, they both are indefiniably nothing, only just like playboys.

One thing ye forget to mention,
Once again SihanoukVarman tirelessly helped his beloved adopted son, SenVarman, to take an absolute control by publicly telling all Dr. Ridth's supporters, especially the soldiers to put the guns

Son of a farmer said...

Forgive me for intentionally and unashamedly saying this,
our beloved SamRainsy will never have any little opportunity to win the next coming election or in the rest of his life, 'cause simply he doesn't acknowledgeably comprehensible his own mentally weakest cowardic by continuously kept running away from the national problems, instead of bravely standing tall and tirelessly fighting till death for the sake of Cambodia and her miserable people.

I undoubtedly hope that my simple prediction is totally wronged, and don't unquestionally hate me, 'cause I speak nothing, but only absolutely true!

Samrainsy party is in the big mess and a good number of Members left it. As president of the party, Sam Rainsy should explain to his supporters about that. Why until now he hasn't done yet. I find this incomprehensible. Maybe now he's just a puppet!

I've admired Sam Rainsy for always fighting against Youn invaders who now represent 33% of the 14 millions people in Cambodia, while Khmers are 55% only (go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_Cambodia).
But I find it paradoxical. He fight them and at the same time he leaves the control of his party to YIM SOVAN the Samrainsy party spokeman and his wife
KE SOVANNAROTH, the party secretary general, both typical yuon speaking Khmer. Either no Khmer has their skill level and or Sam Rainsy is dubious.

7:40 It's a good idea.
1- We have to form or use a group that already existed to form a 3rd group not a 3rd party.
2- we should do a survey to among Khmer living abroard.
3- invite all a democratic parties in Cambodia to debate or a town hall meeting some where in US
4- 3rd group will make a final resolution to deside which party we should support
At this time,we,the supporters,will choose the leader.
Not the leader choose the supporters.

i think any political party in cambodia with a living person's name like sam rainsy party or whatever is not good; it sounds and looks too egocentric. political party name should be neutral to represent the people, not so much the founder or whatever, really! wake up people, time to be smarter and wiser, ok! get educated for a change, ok! there are more to cambodia than you and i, ok!

It is time, Mr Sam Ransy has to decide for a reform in his party and re-shaft his party by endorsing Madam Mu Sochua as a new leader to lead for next campaign. If Mr Sam Ransy is still not recognize about the fallout of his party if his party is going to campaign without a leader. It will be noway his party can win any big support if he let his party to run without a leader inside the country. People have lost all his credibility if he is not staying in the country regardless what he has declared recently what he can do outside. The outside job is only for foreign Minister or a spokesperson of his party for foreign affairs and not for a leader. A leader must be a true leader and must stay with people. If he scares to stay in Cambodia, the leadership will not suitable for him.
Recently Madam Mu Sochua has proved herself as a true leader and it is time for this party to transfer their leadership. Please do not have wrong judgment on me. I still admire Mr Sam Ransy for all his efforts. But time is different. If Mr Sam Ransy is still confused about his leadership, his party will be heading for a disaster and next election will be completely controlled by CPP.

Mr. Sam Rainsy should kill a blind PM Hun Sen after the U.S. and NATO send the atomic bombs to destroy Communist Hanoi master Triet and his wife (both are crooks). Then Cambodia and Laos will be free along with Khmer Krom. Cambodia, Khmer Krom and Laos will emerge and be become friends and help destroy the Yuon/Vietnam communists troops with the helps from the NATA or other powerful countries.

CPP Yuon Officials and Hun Sen (Hanoi's puppet) will be destroyed soon. No date and time have not been set up yet, but very soon.

Many Yuon/Vietgook folks, CPP Yuon supporters and evil Yuon friends and family members of the bad ass Hun Sen will be gone to Vietcong Hanoi. Those stupid and evil folks as mentions above always feel good to say such things to make Cambodian/Khmer people feel discouraged, but they are playing with the feelings of Khmer/Cambodian people. Please don't listen to them. They are the ones will face the real problems and collapse one of these days. For examples, those evil Youn folks and CPP Yuon/Hun Sen supporters say somethings in the following as politics and games:

1. Keep dreaming and will not happen.
2. Khmer are stupid and always keep fighting each others. They pretend to be Khmer and then say such things to make Khmer/Cambodian people look bad.
3. Khmer/Cambodian slaves bow to Vietnam
4. Cambodia will be part of Vietnam
5. Khmer people drink Vietnamese people's pee in the Mekong Lakes
6. They laugh at Khmer people
7. Tell other people like Americans, British, French, Mexicans, etc that they are Khmer and then they cause Khmer to hate Khmer, make Khmer people look very bad.
8. They try to scare Khmer people and kill Khmer/Cambodia people
9. and more
10.....Please list as much as they can

So, Khmer people don't be fooled or scare. We can fight back hard to scare the heck of Yuon people, CPP folks. You can have anything to protect yourself. We can beat Yuon CPP bodyguards if they beat Khmer people. Khmer people all together in the millions of us including myself are brave and dying to fight and destroy Yuon folks and CPP, Hun Sen. If they use weapons to destroy Khmer, Khmer will use the same weapons and long with the outsiders who are in favor of Khmer/Cambodian people. Vietcong/Yuon folks, CPP Yuon bastards and Hun Sen will not have friends from outsides or powerful countries in the world, USA, Canada, S. Korea, France, UK, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, S. Africa, Egypt, Qatar, Japan, Slovakia, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Swedish, Poland, Turkey, and more. If Vietnamese Communist bastards dare to destroy or kill Khmer people in order to help protect their puppet Hun Sen and illegal CPP Yuon officials and their hidden Yuon faces to pretend to be Khmer bodyguards, etc. They will get hit and destroyed by Khmer heroes and real Khmer/Cambodian military and soldiers.

Please, Khmer people, don't be fooled and don't be afraid. If you are afraid of Hun Sen and CPP Yuon bastards, that means you are weak and they will trick you Khmer people. Please wake up. I will be there to join forces along with the outsiders from all the world. You have your encouragement and don't give up hope. Remembers, Yuon/Vietcong folks, CPP and Hen Sen tried to scare you, but don't be scare. Just fight back and throw the shoes at them. If they use the weapons, Khmer people will use the weapons and guys, too.

Dear compatriots,

Rumour has circled that Mr Sam rainsy had a child with someone from Battambang, which has caused the couple growing apart: (see the Saumura interview given to Phnom-Penh Post in http://ki-media.blogspot.com/2007/05/tioulong-saumura-politician.html).
If the rumour turns out to be true, in my opinion, Mr Sam Rainsy is under pressure by "who?" to live outside Cambodia, which neutralizes him taking part in the next election.
As a good and trustworthy husband, Mr Sam Rainsy whose record of competence, patriotism, integrity, fighter is undeniable, may have no guts to confront this issue.
I beg him to reject the blackmail, to clarify the above rumour, and whatever the outcome, I am sure that khmer people keep trusting him, supporting him and wanting him to lead the party and reform it from top to bottom too.
We the Khmer people, we need you more than ever against Yuon Xen!

We the Khmer people,
