Prime minister Hun Sen said that, in the world, only Cambodia carried out the win-win policy without using a single bullet, and it even has territorial unity. In a speech given at the army region 5 headquarters on 21 January, Hun Sen claimed that when it comes to Cambodia, it’s sure strange. He said that, just like the monarchy for example, it died for 23-year long, but it was revived again, and in this issue, it only happens in Cambodia. In other countries, when the monarchy is lost, it is lost forever, however, the Cambodian monarchy was revived after it disappeared for 23-year. And in Cambodia, the royals are even involved in politics, but that such situation does not exist in Thailand or Japan. Hun Sen added: “We don’t prevent the Cambodian royals from being involved in politics, please go ahead, but if you are involved in politics, this means that you will be touched (attacked) also.” Under this meaning, political analysts believed that the political involvements of the royals will open them to verbal attacks. Hun Sen added that: “It’s not just the prince, even the prince’s father will be attacked also.”
