PM weighs in on China debt debate

| Sacrava's cartoon that infuriated Hun Xen? |
Hun Sen also took yesterday’s media opportunity to blast comparisons made between him and deposed Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi – which have appeared as cartoons on the opposition-affiliated news blog KI-Media.
Prime Minister Hun Sen yesterday added his two cents to the ongoing debate on what Cambodia’s debt to China actually is, declaring it stands at only US$2 billion.
At a ground-breaking ceremony marking the beginning of construction on Phnom Penh’s Cambodia-China Friendship Bridge, the premier rejected estimates he claimed unspecified opposition parties had made that the debt stood at $6 billion.
The premier’s $2 billion figure included a $500 million loan he recently secured during a 10-day visit to the burgeoning superpower.
“I met with Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao and had a fruitful negotiation, and I requested to the premier to help support the 2012 budget for seven projects which [total] approximately US$500 million,” he said.
“We need [to borrow] US$500 million per year from China to support a secure budget, and there is no country in the world that does not owe debt,” he added.
Last month, senior ruling party lawmaker Cheam Yeap said Cambodia owed China about $4 billion out of a total $7 billion the Kingdom owes in total foreign debt.
Sam Rainsy Party spokesman Yim Sovann said yesterday he thought that figure was closer to the mark but cautioned it was unreliable because the government provides scant information about state finances.
He said instead of endlessly borrowing money from foreign countries, the government should try and eliminate widespread corruption in the collection of taxation.
“If you look at the tax collection rate as a percentage of GDP, it’s about 12 percent, and if you look at our neighbouring countries [Vietnam and Thailand], it’s about 20 percent,” he said.
“[Value Added Tax] is very high, 10 percent in Cambodia. In Thailand, it’s only 7 percent, in Vietnam, only 7 percent, but the tax collection [in Cambodia] is very low, that means corruption.”
Hun Sen also took yesterday’s media opportunity to blast comparisons made between him and deposed Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi – which have appeared as cartoons on the opposition-affiliated news blog KI-Media.
“Do not consider Hun Sen will have the same fate as Gaddafi,” he warned, after wishing a safe re-entry to the unmanned Chinese spacecraft Shenzhou-8, which blasted off on November 1.

Hun Sen is nervous. He will hire many more bodyguards to just watch out for black hawk helicopter may land on his roof.
Yesterday Prime Minister Hun Sen wasn't only blast opposition that has compared him to deposed Libyan Gaddafi, but offered a warehouse of weapon to whom want to uprising against him. So, opposition and its stupid supporters!! Don't just barking from distance, if you are brave, come and fight with the CPP inside the country.

If your samdach decho Hun Sen is so powerful, why don't he get Kos Tral, sea area 30 000km2 and most Cambodia lands from Vietnam back to Cambodian people. Samdach Decho Hun Sen must be a traitor or Hero ...the Vietnam's hero. That is the reason why he doesn't want to do that!
Gaddafi had said the same way as Samdach Decho Hun Sen last year but look at him now.
Gaddfi has more mordern weapons than your Samdach Decho Hun Sen 1000 times but his bodygurds are running away from him so he and his son can't operated all those military weapons by themself.
Even Gaddafi son betray his daddy too in order to survire. May be PhD Dr. Hun Manet do the same thing too??? May be!!!??? Very interesting!!!

Ah Kwack and all of your traitors clans time all run out for your now bastard.
Samdach Decho Hun Sen and his families, relatives and friends have billion of billions of American dollars but majority Cambodian people are poor. That is not fair isn't it? Cambodian people are wondering where Samdach Decho Hun Sen and his families and some CPP groups get the money from.
Gaddafi has 0ver 60 billion of US dollar and Hun Sen has similar figure to Gaddafi.
Gaddafi said the same thing as Samdach Decho Hun Sen but at the end all his trustworthiness bodyguards are running away from him. Samdach Decho Hun Sen bodyguards are not much difference from Gaddafi bodyguards too; even some of them are Viet.
All Samdach Decho Hun Sen bodyguards know very well that Samdach Decho Hun Sen is a traitor, a killer, a murderer. A lot of innocent bloods all over Samdach Decho Hun Sen. You are not a holy man that they have to die for you to be rich! Understand Decho Sen!

Khmers in Pailin Province,
The area from 1970 to 2011 did not teach us anything, just from the comments up to this point in time. We are still encouraging Khmer to kill each other. Degrading each politicians regarding right or wrong? Let's say CPP party lost popularity vote, and opposition party won. The cycle will continued...which is hatred. What I am trying to say is politicians come and go but hatred remain, that is hatred among Khmer people toward each others. Is that politicians goal??? Khmer to kill Khmer?? And then we blame ours neighbor countries for the killing. The neighbor countries did not do so much harm as we did to each others.
Please keep in mind, hatred enable the will of the people to kill. Again, is this your goal???
I am sure there are a few M. Gaddafi supporters still alive somewhere, they are full of hatred at the moment. Libya people can help eliminate hatred from these supporters if they were to keep Gaddafi alive and put him on trial. Not right away, but in time they will. But now hatred won, and politicians loose.
LoveKhmer
During 1997 Samdach Decho Hun Sen killed many Khmer people during the kick ass Prince Ranaridth and not even including K5 and many more so on and so on ...over 30 000km2 of Cambodia area given to Vietnam by Samdach Decho Hun Sen with his full hands.
Gaddafi had not given any lands to other countries as Samdach Decho Hun Sen.
Question!
Does Samdach Decho Hun Sen Khmer patriot or Vietnamese patriot as his action from 1979 to today? (Must include the treaties that made by Hun Sen from 1979 to now for consideration before you answer)

In March 0f 1986 after US-Reagan bombed his palace, Ghaddafi told his people the same, :no one can topple him and Libyan people have complete trust on him to lead."
Stop barking, if you opposition dogs want to use force, Hun Sen will accompany you anytime.

It is not time yet. When Uncle Sam needs and wants it he will do to Hun Sen the same he did to other leaders.
Hun Sen's life depends on Hanoi, and if Hanoi gives a green signal Hun Sen's life will end.
You should pray for the dog Hun Sen instead of being so arrogant each time you climb on the internet.
Hun Sen is a murderer in Kingdom of Wonder as Mr Sam Rainsy said on Radio.
Hun Sen is not afraind in kill more Cambodian people in order to protect Vietnam benefit in swallow Cambodia alive.
NATO, UN will keep an eye on Hun Sen activities...like they did with Gaddafi.
“...being jealous with one another has turned into a culture of tripping each other or also known as nipping in the bud. This means that each side is doing all it can to destroy the other side.” (RFA)
During Pol Pot time, when they killed the parents, they also killed the children! Their sins: being sons or daughters of the dad. It is so sad that this tradition still being promoted today by those who consider themselves as human right activists!
Happily some politicians still enjoy doing politic nowadays even if their dads were condemned as traitors to the nation during the ’60. In politics as in anything else, mutual respect is two-way street.
Please treat others the ways you want them to treat you.
LONG LIVE MOHA SAMDACH DECHO HUN SEN 2099!!!

Mr. Khmer Sydney,
Please don't invite us to come fight with you. We don't want it to have to come to that, we never want that.
We want a democracy, tell your Som-Dach, that it is reasonable and sensible that a man who ruled over 20 years is a dictator and can only speak in terms of threats and violence.
That is what we want to get rid of. But by gods, if NATO decides to Bomb Tul Krasaing, we're okay with that.
