CPP Spokesman Denies Wanting Rainsy to Die in Plane Crash


Hmmm.... Did I really say that? What was I drinking?


By Mech Dara and Lauren Crothers - October 12, 2013

Introducing a sinister new edge to the country’s ongoing political tension, CPP lawmaker and party spokesman Cheam Yeap on Thursday raised the question as to why opposition party leader Sam Rainsy had not yet died in a plane crash.

However, Mr. Yeap denied on Friday that he wished to see the opposition leader’s death, but had simply raised the question because of Mr. Rainsy’s frequent in­ter­national air travel and the “turmoil” he had caused the country.

In a radio interview on Thursday, Mr. Yeap took aim at the CNRP president’s politicking and the quality of the time he spends in Cambodia when he is not abroad. Mr. Rainsy is currently on an international tour to press foreign governments and aid donors to cease recognition of Prime Minister Hun Sen’s newly formed government.

“I am wondering why Sam Rainsy has such [bad] ideas,” Mr. Yeap said in the radio interview. “While flying, why doesn’t the plane he is boarding crash to his death?”

Mr. Yeap added: “And the second is that when [the plane is] landing, he causes all kinds of turmoil to Cambodia. That is why the Cambodian people name the Cambodia National Rescue Party the Boss of Demonstrations.”

Contacted by telephone, Mr. Yeap strenuously denied that his com­ment about a plane crash constituted a threat against Mr. Rainsy, claiming instead that his words had been misrepresented and taken out of context. Mr. Yeap said that he was simply referring to angels and justly deserved divine intervention for Mr. Rainsy’s wicked political ways.

I did not curse him,” Mr. Yeap said.

I did not pray [that Sam Rain­sy’s plane would fall from the sky] but if the angels see this, he would face danger,” he said.


“I just mentioned that Sam Rainsy had such ideas to betray the people, the nation, so someday the an­gels might see, so he needs to be care­ful. We did not threaten Sam Rainsy—we just informed the public.”

Mr. Rainsy is abroad and could not be reached for comment, but CNRP spokesman Yim Sovann was unimpressed with Mr. Yeap’s remarks.

“Respected politicians never speak like that,” he said. “What we have done is for the interests of the people.”

“Of course it’s incitement, but we do not pay attention to that…. Let the people listen to what he said. In 2018, he will be judged by the people,” Mr. Sovann added, referring to the next national election.

Mr. Yeap’s comment was not the first of its kind.

Prime Minister Hun Sen has in the past alluded to otherworldly entities, claiming in 2011 that “spirits” could break necks to punish his critics. In 2005, he also warned a member of the Sisowath royal family and other would-be rebels to prepare their wills and coffins, because he would “smash” them if they tried to foment an uprising over border demarcation with Vietnam.

Dr. Sok Touch, rector of the Khemarak University and an independent political analyst, said commenting on Mr. Rainsy’s demise in a plane crash had been unsportsmanlike and could cause instability at a time when tensions are running high.

“They should not use these words, because politicians need to maintain themselves as sportsmen when they go into the ring…. This would bring civil war because of the war-like words,” he said.

“When the political deadlock reaches high tensions, politicians should not use impolite words to another party—this will make the political deadlock become even more tense.”

Mr.Yeap, his boss, Hun Sen and Yuon-created CPP curse Cambodia and Cambodians.

By watching Cheam Yeap's reaction to Sam Rainsy's overseas travel to ask the international community not to recognize the CPP formed government due to its election fraud, I can conclude that Sam Rainsy's diplomatic mission overseas is touching the nervous system of the CPP. Without international recognition and international economic aid, the Hun Sen led government won't last long.

CNRP and the Khmer people all over Cambodia and around the world, let's stick together and have the last big push to topple the Hun Sen illigal government in Cambodia.

The world community and all Khmer people, how long you all allow this liar speak around you every day. His word was recorded by type in the hand of journalist but now he rejected! Whith teacher he has leaned to lie like this, as I know nearly all CPP are doing like this. First stole the ballots from people and now lie without end.

I'm always amazed at how all the CPPs from to bottom operate. Why do they always act the same way? If a reporter asks someone from the CPP about a wrong doing such as corruption or human right abuse they always say "I don't know" or "I'm too busy in meeting to answer your question". They all are well trained spin doctors. How can they lie with a straight face? No shame at all? How about some apology or admission of mistake? Do you think that the rest of the people of the world besides the CPP are stupid? To think about it, they might be right to a point: if those donor countries that gave more than 2 Billions USD to this corrupted government without condition are not buying into their lies then they wouldn't do that. So after all, there are many stupid people with their own people's money in this world. So for the CPP, please keep cheating, lying, denying... You arte doing a very good job. Congratulation!!!

Please do not waste your time verify his cursing or denying of what he said yesterday concerning Mr.Sam Rainsy. You know he is a mad dog, who has the rabies viruses attacked his central nervous system so his doom day is coming soon. Therefore, please do not go close you could be bitten and get contracted with these viruses. Lock him in a case so he isn't going to run erratically and bite other people. The very simple solution is to kill that mad dog right now, so everyone would be safe from the rabies. Thing is so simple why makes it so complicated?

The traitorous regime CPP must go now. Period. When the CPP goes, this Chiem Yuon will automatically go.

Start the demonstration to remove the thief CPP who has stolen Khmer people's vote. This is the most serious crime in the world.

The CPP has tried to play down its crime - electoral fraud - by trying to shift Khmer people's attention on something else.

The CNRP must render its obligation to Khmer people by doing whatever necessary to claim the election's victory. The CNRP must fight the traitorous regime CPP to claim the victory now while its chance to win is certain because the vast majority of Khmer people and the international community are behind it.

The CNRP cannot pass up this once in a lifetime opportunity.

That's the typical learning by doing of those croock communis croock, not only Entit Cheam Yeap but nearly the whole CPP clique and that is why they can hold X-PhD without university, for instance:

1) Cheam Yeap: he wishes Mr Sam Rainsy to have aircrash, but he don't know how many innocent people are in the route with him from France-Phnom in the A340-500? more than 350 PAX, How we and the ICC calls Cheam Yeap? That is the typical PhD without university

2) Pa Socheathavong: he confirm that the flooding in Phnom Penh caused by without or someplace the narrow canalisation and so, he need 8 years for avoiding this flooding. Question: Before the wonder development raised by Hun Sen win-win strategy, Phnom Penh has never had flooding like today and before you did this Beng Kork why you don't ask first Mr Van Monivann or other healthy engineer group? Maybe they know more 99% than you as communist politician and your cadre group. That is the typical PhD without university

3) In fact, the flooding in Cambodia at the present caused from two factors:
3.1) It caused by the deforestry the whole country from 50% of 75%
3.2) It caused by natural disaster
But the deforestry has involved more than 75% in this cse.
If you clique to lead this country in 5 years futher Cambodia will ha Sahara.

Strong reaction with such an uncivilized wish and repugnant words of Mr. Cheam Yeap is indeed an expression of a desperation and concern on the part of his party and unintentionally serves to encourage Mr. Sam Rainsy to continue his mission abroad. It is, contrary to their public announcement, a manifestation that the CPP and Hun Sen do care about and crave for international legitimacy that can only be made possible by the full support coming from the European Union and America. Economic sanctions by these countries will of course hurt the poor people, but also serves to undermine and make it possible for the collapse of the CPP under popular pressures and evermore dissatisfaction. The old Cambodian saying which goes something like - In order to live one must be willing to die - could not be more truthful and correct with the current situation in the country.

Approval from China means nothing much on the international stage since China, being an unscrupulous country, will support any party or government in a country no matter how it comes to power as long as, once in the office, the government of that country allows China to plunder their natural resources without check and balance. Just look at African countries that are dealing with China right now!

If the European Union and America decide not to support the people of Cambodia and the opposition by giving the CPP and Hun Sen full recognition, then Cambodians know with certainty that the only way to remove the CPP government is only through armed rebellion and not possible through democratic process.

The CNRP has no choice, but to carry out its popular mandate and duty to find justice for the Cambodian people who voted for change and not for another 5 years of CPP rule! Stay outside the government and demonstrate if the people support you; paralyze the whole country if you have the support of the majority of the Cambodian people.

It is sad, mind-boggling, and outrageous to see more than a million dollars being spent to build a statue of King Father Norodom Sihanouk when the country is being faced with such a large scale of flooding and suffering of many poor Cambodians. The timing could not be worse!

Eh, Buddy, you scratch my back and I scratch yours! This is the mentality of many SO-CALLED leaders of Cambodia including the King himself who should have told the government not to spend such an amount of money for the statue of His father when so many Cambodians live from day to day. One wonders how long such a government can last in the land of America. Cambodians are too forgiving!

Folks, we have a long way to make sure such leaders will one day be eliminated from Cambodia. Until then the word such as ''suffering or hardship'' will always be part of the word ''Cambodia or Khmer''.
