On the other hand, pro-democracy activist Seng Theary
suggested it would be in Hun Sen's long-term personal interest, if he
wants to preserve his legacy, to remove himself from the "ignominious
club of dictators" and enter the "rarefied club of statesmen" who
voluntarily relinquished power in order to facilitate a peaceful
transition of government.
She suggested he could chose Sar Kheng, a moderate political figure who
is Hun Sen's deputy prime minister and minister of interior, as his
successor.
"I
really do pray Hun Sen will act with wisdom. I really believe he has
the potential to do so and awe us and secure himself a legacy of
statesmanship," she said.
