In a reply letter sent Friday to Prime Minister Hun Sen for the latter's request to Prince Ranariddh to provide two National Assembly chairman positions to SRP, Prince Ranariddh informed Hun Sen that the Sam Rainsy Party had foregone its opportunity to claim its committee seats following the 2003 national election. Sam Rainsy called the letter a sign of the prince's resistance to reconciliation and democratization.

"The content of the prince's letter shows that the Prince doesn't have any goodwill with the spirit of national reconciliation...and doesn't comply with the people's will as expressed in the general election in 2003," Sam Rainsy wrote in a Friday reply to the prince.

Subsequently, Funcinpec party issued a statement the same day calling Sam Rainsy an instigator of instability. "Recently, the Prince had forgiven Sam Rainsy," the statement read, "but within days, Sam Rainsy blasted the Prince and Funcinpec Party, and also provoked a lot of problems."

The above letter provides the rebuke Funcinpec issued against Sam Rainsy. Related story is also provided in the Cambodia Daily article posting below.
