Translated from Khmer by Meun Sneheut

RFI’s weekly guess on Saturday 20 August is Mr. Sam Rainsy, President of the Sam Rainsy Party. In response to Kuoch Kuntheara’s questions, Mr. Sam Rainsy is still confident that there will be a political resolution that will allow him to participate in the upcoming 2013 election. Regarding his almost 2-year absence from Cambodia, Mr. Sam Rainsy claimed that what is important right now is not the physical presence, but the mind, soul and conscience [presence]. Sam Rainsy compared his case to that of Thaksin Shinawatra whose Puea Thai party won landslide election recently in Thailand.

Hi Everyone,

One of KI-Media member who has his name in Facebook as Khmer Sovannaphumi but his real name is Pang Sokhoeun, former political asylum and now living in Sweden. He always copies news from here to post in his facebook profile to promote himself, but right now, he tries to remove and blocked anyone who dares to reveal his con activity particular he tries to hide what he has cheated his wife (Sreypov Chea) by having a girlfriend (Sokunthear Sam) behind his wife back. Now, his girlfriend had run way from him after she knew his cheating.

A con man Pang Sokhoeun as well as KI-Media like to insult to the government officers who have affairs, but himself does even worse than other people. What a shame!

When one person had posted in KI-Media and accused that a con man Pang Sokhoeun is a brother of Som Ek (former Chief of Tiger's head sign guerilla, who was arrested and put in prison by Cambodian government) during that time, a cheater Pang Sokhoeun came to deny in his blogs immediately and had pointed the blame to Mr. Sourn Serey Rotha, but this time, he has bury his head in the sand because he cannot deny the truth that he has cheated his wife. Right now, all he can do is removed and blocked anyone who dared to reveal his cheating.

The problem with Sam Rainsy is he keeps running away every time there is a threat against him. Hun Sen knows Sam Rainsy's weak point. Hun Sen always use this tactic (threat) to work for his advantage. SRP will have more support if the party's leaders will not afraid to stay in jail or die for SRP principles. Also, Sam Rainsy believes too much in western culture and western politic. Asians have a lot of animosity agianst the west for being so greedy and willing to destroy others in order to fulfill their petite. This is why Khmers don't want this kind of influence or leaders that are influenced by the west to be in power. They have so much greed in their heart. Sihanouk is a good example of how the western influenced him. He cares about western way of life much more than his culture or his country.

A convicted criminal Sam Rainsy is in a stage of confusing not knowing which option he should chose to revive his political career in Cambodia. When he went to Tunisia, he and his extreme supporters had crying out for the so called Jasmine revolution in Cambodia, but unfortunately, Khmer people inside Cambodia don't impress with his tactic. Right now, he tries to compare himself to Mr. Thakin. Remember, Thakin's party has always been a winner in Thai politics, while SRP is always a loser in Cambodia.

Aim to cover up his cowardice, fugitive Sam Rainsy has weird claimed that "what is important right now is not the physical presence, but the mind, soul and conscience [presence] Sic. If it is the case why he is crying out for political revolution and appeal to foreigner to intervene to pave the way for his return to Cambodia? This confirmed that he has no hope to participate in the next election, but he is not brave enough to admit it to his supporters.

Yes, as a kangaroo court in Phnom Penh they can only a true hero or nationalist, I don't understand it.

What about those CPP's clans that cut down trees and robe people lands and allowing YUON to have our lands, they are not criminal?? And they never trial them and convict them. Instead they getting promotion and getting rich.

Khmer Abroad,

Justice will previal under Mr. Sam Rainsy soon in near future.

Of all the Cambodian politicians so far, I trust Sam Rainsy's intergrity and capability to lead Cambodia successfully the most. I believe the majority of Khmer in Cambodia and around the world also think the same way.

Sam Rainsy is not corruptable! Rampant corruption is the major national security issue threatens Cambodia very existence as a sovereign and independent country with full territorial integrity.

5:34, people should have different opinion without being labelled as a Vietcong. What makes you and other SRP supporters different from Khmer Rouge and Hun Sen if any one think different from you will be called Vietcong instantly?

10:25, you asked Khmer Sidney " what you do for your country?" May I ask what have you done for your country? Khmer Sidney is helping us to see different point of view so none of us will have narrow minded and become a member of the cult who blindly people anything. I'm also sure Khmer Syndey sent some money to his family in Cambodia which help building the country a lot already.

Advice to Rainsy, better be a Suu Kyi of Burma. You think Burmese court is fairer than Cambodian court?

Just want to state the facts:

- Gandhi of India did not run away when he struggled to gain the independence from England;

- Nelson Mandela of South Africa went to jail for more than thirty years to fight against Apatheid;

- Ang Suu Kyi of Burma has chosen to face the military junta in her country rather fleeing abraod;

- Pol Pot and Khmer rouge leaderships fled to the jungle and lived there to fight the Americans and later the vienameses;

- ...etc;

Mr. Rainsy, stop cheating yourself and your supporters. You can never win if you don't dare to face the hardship. Nothing comes for free! Freedom is fought with blood, courage and sacrifice!

LATEST IN 2013 A COUPLE OF MONTHS
BEFORE GENERAL ELECTION IN ORDER TO
1- SHOW THE WORLD THE EXISTENCE OF
DEMOCRACY IN CAMBODIA, AND THE JUST AND FAIR ELECTION.
2- KEEP MR. SAM RAINSY FROM EFFECT-
IVELY ORGANIZE HIS PARTY IN ORDER
TO HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN BECAUSE OF
SHORTAGE OF TIME.
THAT'S ALSO ONE OF MR. HUN SEN'S OLD TRICK. WATCH OUT EVERYBODY.

That's why Khmers need to be very smart when they vote, if we let ourselves be corrupted, be bought, be threatened, well then don't complain when we suffer.

All Khmer voters, wake up!, wise up! Stand up to defend our country before us Khmers become beggars in our own country.
