Cambodian King urges parties to tackle election row based on constitution





English.news.cn 2013-08-31 08:48:39


PHNOM PENH, Aug. 30 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni on Friday urged the ruling and opposition parties to resolve their disputed election results based on the kingdom's constitution.


"Cambodia is an independent and sovereign state and has the Constitution as the supreme law, which is respected by the whole nation," the King said in a royal letter from Beijing where he has stayed for routine medical checkup since Aug. 12.

"Resolving national issues should be based on the Constitution and tasked to responsible institutions which are determined in the Constitution and other laws in the kingdom," he said in the royal letter, which was released to the media by the Office of the Council of Ministers.


He said the results of the July 28 general election would be officially issued no later than September 8.

"I'd like to appeal to Cambodian people to continue maintaining national peace and dignity," he said.

It was the second time King Sihamoni called for the two political parties to solve the contested poll results peacefully under the country's laws.


Initial election results showed that the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) of long-serving Prime Minister Hun Sen won the poll with 68 of the 123 parliamentary seats, and the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) of long-time opposition leader took the remaining 55 seats.

But the CNRP rejected the results, claiming that it should have won 63 seats, with the CPP getting the remaining 60 seats if alleged poll irregularities were fairly resolved.

The King's royal letter came a day after Sam Rainsy set September 7 to hold a massive nonviolent protest against the poll results if the CPP did not resume talks with the CNRP towards the formation of a proposed independent investigation committee into alleged poll irregularities.


The CPP issued a statement on Thursday, saying that the party was ready to resume talks with the CNRP, but ruled out the possibility of talks on the formation of a special investigation committee since it violated the country's Constitution.

"Article 136 in the Constitution stipulates that the Constitutional Council shall have the right to examine and decide on contested cases involving the election of Assembly members and Senate members," the CPP said.

Currently, the Constitutional Council, which is the country's final arbiter, has been resolving complaints filed by the opposition party against the election results, but the opposition accused the Constitutional Council of being loyal to the CPP.

Under the country's Constitution, a new parliament will be inaugurated no later than 60 days after the election.


Prime Minister Hun Sen said on Aug. 2 that a new parliament and a new government would be established as scheduled despite the opposition's boycott.

According to the Constitution, he said, a new government would be formed by a 50 percent plus one majority, or 63 lawmakers, in the new parliament.

Hun Sen, 61, who has been in power for 28 years, will extend his power for further five years through the election victory.

"Cambodia is an independent and sovereign state and has the Constitution as the supreme law..." It's unbelievable...everything is according to the Law, Law... Give me a break. Vietnamese come to Cambodia freely and unchallenged. We cannot say anything. if we do, we are racist, racist. Where is the Law? Can we go to Saigon and live there, uh?

The King knows that the CPP is the thief. How can we solve the problem with the thief?

He should know that the Cambodian people want change. We, Cambodians, want a real democracy. We hate the dictatorship and the tyranny of the current government/dictatorship of Hun Sen.

Cambodians don't just want to solve the election irregularities, but want Hun Sen to step down.

Thirty years under the Communist/dictatorship government is enough. Thirty years ruled by gangsters is enough. Thirty years under the psychologically unfit leaders is enough.

The current/coward government is afraid of a coup. We don't understand why they are so afraid knowing that the armed forces, the tanks, the weapons and powers are under Hun Sen's control. The oppositions have nothing.

Why is the current government afraid of its own people. What has it done wrong? Why are they afraid of democracy?

Are Hun Sen and his cronies afraid of their own party members/followers? Or is it possible that many of his party members59 want change as well?

I believe that the demonstration on the 7th of September, whether it be a rally or a coup, is legitimate if it is what the people want.

It's time for a change in Cambodia.

The King must know it, feel it and accept it. Stop pretending that everything is ok, just to keep His own position on the throne. We, the Cambodian people, don't want to see any more games played by the monarchy and the puppet government. So it's time for the King to face with the reality.

He ought to urge to create a committee to find out the truth. He tries to push the situation for the favor of the CPP he has robbed the election. ALL KHMER MUST BE RATIONAL. LEARN TO THINK AND ACT WITH THE FACT. WHAT IS THIS KING IS DOING? HIS MOTHER WAS BEHIND SIHANOUK. SHE STRUGGLED TO FIGHT RANARIDH FOR HAVING THE THRONE FOR SIHAMONI WHO IS A YOUN KID. KHMER MUST WATCH THE ACTION OF THIS KING WHICH TRANSLATE AS A TRAITOR OF KHMER PEOPLE. WE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT THE NATION = PEOPLE. HIS ACTION IS BETRAYING THE PEOPLE 'S WILL.

CONFUCIUS SAID: WHAT IS TRUE WITHIN TAKES FORM WITHOUT.

DID SIHAKONI DID SOMETHING WHEN HUN SEN GOVERNMENT HAS CAUSED MANY DAMAGE TO THE NATION AND ITS PEOPLE? KOH TRAL, DEFORESTATION, BEOUNG KAK PEOPLE, BEREI KEILA, SAMBOK CHAB, IMMIGRATION ISSUE. IT IS HIS ROLE TO REMIND THE GOVERMENT TO BEHAVE A GOOD GOVERNANCE FOR THE COUNTRY, BUT HE DID NOTHING.

KHMER MUST THINK TWICE ABOUT HIM AND EXPLAIN TO OUR KHMER YOUTH TO UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH OF REAL KHMER POLITICS.

Suggestion to the CNRP:

To alleviate the burden of the CNRP's security, the 2 most important figures of the CNRP - Sam Rainsy and Kem Sokha - must not present at the peaceful march to ensure the CNRP's stability.

We should foresee all the possibilities that will deploy by the evil Vietnam and its puppet Hun Sen in this upcoming months. There is no doubt that killing the 2 men must be one of their objectives.

We should learn some tricks from the evil Vietnam who waged a war by not showing its face - the guerilla war.

In addition, the new technology, particularly the cell phone, the facebook, etc... have greatly facilitated the communication between the CNRP's leaders and their supporters.

There will be no different effect between Sam Rainsy and Kem Sokha's presence on the field and off the field during the demonstration.

However, there will be a deadly effect when the evil Vietnam were able to kill both Sam Rainsy and Kem Sokha, or one of them, during the demonstration. The CNRP will collapse and disintegrate quickly when both leaders die during the demonstration.

The evil Vietnam cannot hit an invisible target. So, be smart, make yourselves - Sam Rainsy and Kem Sokha - an invisible target by not presenting at the rally. This is the best tactic, in my opinion. Stop making any unnecessary mistake.

Khmer people will not call both of you the cowards for not presenting at the rally because we need both of you to lead the country, not to die during the demonstration.

To confuse the evil Vietnam and its puppet Hun Sen, the CNRP should print Sam Rainsy and Kem Sokha's faces and let their supporters put on their face during the demonstration.

100% AGREED!

BOTH H.E. SAM RAINSY AND KEM SOKHA DO NOT NEED TO SHOW UP AT THE MASS DEMONSTRATION BECAUSE IT IS FOR THEIR SAFETY. WE NEED LEADERS TO KEEP FIGHTING. IF SOMETHING WRONG HAPPENED TO THEM, OUR FIGHT WILL BE PROBLEMATIC. ANYWHERE, FROM TEAM TO GOVERNMENT PASSING THROUGH FAMILY, WE ALWAYS NEED LEADER! PROTECTING GOOD OUR LEADER IS TO KEEP OUR FIGHT SMOOTH UNTIL THE END.

DR. HUN SEN OWNED CAMBODIA!

He will split Cambodia into half before he die. Preah Vihear, Siem Reap, Kampong Cham, Kampong Chnang, Phnom Penh, Kandal and Kampong Soem to uncle Ho Chi Minh as he wishes prior to Vietnam War. One side is Cambodia and the other is Nambodia.

Have you all (the posters above) ever read and followed the geopolitics surrounding Cambodia or South East Asian nations at least that no NATIONS are freely governing its own nation, it has always had superpowers (either capitalist or communist) behind to suppress or use them?

Cambodia is a small pie (pawn region) for everyone to grab and take it either by force or by corruption ($$$). Just that Cambodia is a place for superpower to use as its pawn, and Vietnamese's ambitions to take Cambodia (read Phan Boi Chau and Dung Du movement based in Thailand) through infiltration (like the Thais did during the war between Chinese and Thais and during nearly the end of the Khmer empire collapsed. Thais took the empire through infiltration and through religion they carried on with which Khmers adopted it until today).

Our problems are not just from 16th century (Jayajettha ii), but since from Jayavaraman vii (do not jump or misread this important era how Thais took the Khmer Empire under Khmer King).

The same whole true Viets are doing in Cambodia since 16th century, no different than Thais did.

To blame this King or any King after the collapse of the empire is wrong.

Sure the King has no choice but to proclaim Cambodia is
"Cambodia is an independent and sovereign state and has the Constitution as the supreme law, which is respected by the whole nation,".

The fact Cambodia is under China-Vietnam both are Communists.
The King or any King or leader will do what they are told to, because they are poor and weak with no army no wealth, they are helpless. The author of this article is Chinese.

Whoever comes to power in Cambodia is a curse. Hun Sen is given wealth and power to run Cambodia, but his life is in their hands. When Sam Rainsy comes to power, he too will be under their hands.

As a Kaun Khmer-Greece I accepted the fact that in this 800 years sufferings is "Khmers Curse", it is not one person such as King or leader. It is curse upon all Khmers.

Instead of fighting through words cursing each others why not find way to be freed through both Spiritual and physical means?

Look at outsiders what they went through and how they became a free or independent nation.
We cannot be freed or independent when we are the poorest.

Pray and Pray along with a peaceful demonstration. Even if you gave your souls to the Buddhism you should have tried to pray to the living GOD for helps.
If you are sincere and ask if there is a GOD, please help to free Khmers/Cambodia from enemies.
You must be sincere when asking for.

Stop blaming the King, but Repent and Pray.

THE RULING PARTY DOES NOT ABIDE BY THE CONSTITUTION WHEN THEY STEAL VOTES FROM CAMBODIAN PEOPLE. STEALING VOTES FROM YOUR OWN PEOPLE IS A GRAVE VIOLATION OF CONSTITUTION, SO CPP HAS NO SAY IN THIS.

CNRP respects the king, but if the king just apes what CPP wants, then CNRP must acts in the best of national interests, respect the will of the people, the voters etc, if this ignoring the king.

CNRP' leaders knew the King is under a tight control of Yuon spies in CPP watching him. The CNRP don't blame him, but to go on with their visions.

If the King has North Korean's bodyguards may be a little safe from Yuon, but now the N. Korean is relying on China, and today China wants Hun Sen to stay in power for its own interest.

The King is in prison of his own palace, he neither can speak the truth nor can stand up against the big enemies. If he does then they will torture-kill him like his young brother.

Pray and Pray to GOD for a deliverance. If we are sincere we will be freed. Nothing is impossible with GOD.

And what does "Khmer" mean to you?
Define what is "Khmer" and I define what is American, French, English, Chinese, Malaysian, etc,... to you.

If you want to prove by DNA ancestry this King has more Khmer blood than you, who may be migrated from China like Pol Pot, Hun Sen, and others. You know why? According to DNAancestry family tree, this King's ancestors carried from the past of the empire until today.

You want to learn who you are and where your body originated from then go online www.DNAancestry.com
Order DNA Kit for $99.00, you will receive Kit with tube and code. You fill up your saliva in th etube then send it back to the DNA lab. About 4 to 6 weeks or so you will receive results.

I did and you should do too. You may learn new thing about who you are instead of accusing people you hate of this or that.

My DNA shows: 8% Aborighinals + Pacific Islander, 15% Persia (Iran and Irak today), 30% Siberian + Mongolian, and 47% Mediterranean (Greece, Macedonian).

This King, King Sihamoni already has family trees made by world Genealogist through rootsweb.ancestry.com
He is Khmer regardless his light skin, it makes no different.


You should not accuse people you hate with such evil intention, you know Bapkam?

This is another ignorant King just like his father who had lead Cambodia down this path. Wake up and be a good human being for once in your life. Look at your own people that suffered because of your father's mistakes.

We live in a modern society where the common people are more educated than the family members of the monarchy. We, the people don't fall for your old lies and trickeries any more. You and your family exist because of the Cambodians. Stop making decisions for the Cambodian people, you're definitely not suffering like the rest the people in Cambodia.

Another prime example of stupidity runs in the family.
We certainly don't need another useless member of the Monarchy making decision for us.
What a coward, when things are going rough in the country, a so called King abandoned his own people to suffer and ran for a place to hide. This is a characteristic of a Cambodian King.
Abolish the Monarchy and have the Cambodian people decide who is fitted to lead the country for a peace and prosperous tomorrow.
