The opposition Sam Rainsy Party's lawmaker Keo Remy has appealed to legislative and executive institutions to develop a draft law that will protect former Cambodian prime ministers from prosecution even after their term has expired, local newspaper reported Saturday.
In a letter dated Tuesday, Keo Remy suggested that the Senate, the National Assembly and the government should begin work on the draft law because it, if approved, would discourage leaders from clinging to power for the rest of their life with adverse national consequences, according to Samleng Yuvechun Khmer.
"Any individual who has led a nation for a long time inevitably makes mistakes," Keo Remy was quoted as saying.
"The fact is that the roots of Cambodia's democracy are not deep and the views of some politicians contain envy, malice and revenge. These are all factors that discourage the leader from stepping down," the letter read.
Keo Remy said that such a law to protect former premiers in Cambodia would show the national and international community that the country is full of understanding, tolerance and modern ideas in political, economic and cultural terms.
Keo Remy wrote the letter just after Iraq's new government hanged ex-dictator Saddam Hussein, the longest-serving leader in the Middle East, for crimes against humanity.

Protect who? It doesn't matter just hang them all!
Very sad to know people like you still exist. No wonder the countries like Cambodia is still going backward. If you already made such a foolish statement that creating the law with secret services to protect the former leaders and their spouses are a trap, you sure deserve to live in a cave.
Khmer are well known for making controversial law and ignorant law that targeting to protect the criminals. Why is anyone want to protect Hun Sen or any of his compatriots?
Hasn't they already untouchable by any Khmer people? Has feared really sink in their head that Communism/dictatorism will soon defaced from the society?
Hun Sen your time is coming.
Cambodian people are not smart, they are too stupid that's why Hun Sen is still in power. You not only threaten his life but you even strength his power for a long time. Perhap,s Cambodia will be wiped out very soon with the uncivilized people like you Cambodian. Now I know why Hun Sen cannot afford to lose his power, because the majority of Cambodian are very uncivilized, too stupid and violent just like Hun Sen.
So you all deserve to have Hun Sen.
To 6:29 AM!
Do you really think AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave need Cambodian people to stay in power??? Tell me who help AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave to come to power in the first place and to maintain where he is right now in life???
AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave always thank the Vietcong master for making his life possible at the expense of million and million of Cambodian people who live on less one dollars aday!!! AH HUN SEN had many chance to come clean many times but many time he refused and the Vietcong master like that very much for AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave has uneducated background who is not afraid and willing to use violence to get what he want and now AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave reach of a point of no return!!!!
AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave started with violence and only he can end it with non-volience!
ACTION = REACTION!!!
Tell me that you are smarter than Cambodian people!!! I felt that I am smarter than you already!!! Your fucken Tep Vong Buddhisht philosophy will never get you anywhere!!!
Shut up. I'm no Buddhist. Yes you said you feel you are smarter than me? Not only you are not smart you are too violent and too stupid.
I only tried to help you Cambodian to engage with diplomacy. If you don't the people in Cambodia will only continue to live suffer even more.
You cannot deal with the animal like Hun Sen by being an animal yourself.
Laws protecting PM from prosecution due to mistakes in office??
Who the hell is he that deserves such pampering?
He's just a mere mortal like everybody else. Why can he face the slammer when he violates the laws?
Democracy for the untouchable?
To 7:29 AM
Oh well! If you already know that AH HUN SEN is animal and did you even try to talk to this animal yourself?? And did AH animal like AH HUN SEN even listen to you??? AH HUN SEN is a fucken animal and it can't even communicate in human language and this animal knows only one thing that is to kill and to kill some more!!
Cambodian people including me ain't that low as AH HUN SEN the animal!!!In a civilized country, If any animal dare to kill one human being and it will be hunted down!!!What about AH HUN SEN the animal??? What is so special about AH HUN SEN the animal??? I will tell you what!!!
One animal like AH HUN SEN can never be equal to 13million Cambodian people!!!
And the very reason why it is so hard to kill AH HUN SEN the animal because the Vietcong kept protecting this animal with all their resources including sending their double agents and 5 million more of illegal Viet to support his power base and more economic incentive to make all the CPP animal richer and richer while Cambodian people get poorer and poorer!!!This animals is living in luxury with peace and harmony with nature surround by over 3,000 of special pay private army!!!!
This is a bilogical war and it is necessary to take animal to kill another animal!!!
Eh idiots.
The law that protects the former leaders and their spouses has nothing to do with the persons crimes.
The law with secret services to protect every former leaders must have, but their crimes are separate issues. It is the duty of the people of the country as the jurors and the law of the land to go after them.
Your animal behavior can only help Hun Sen or any dictator to stay in power for life. Your stupid fool, big/bad mouth were the reason Yuan easily invaded Cambodia and you deserved to have the least educated and the most brutal and animal like Hun Sen to rule over your all animals. I tell you that until you all can deal with diplomacy to outsmart Yuan and the least educated and most brutal like Hun Sen, the sufferings will remain upon the Cambodian people.
Hun Sen stays in power because of stupid people working for him. They fear him. They do what's told. They have no reasoning skill to challenge. They are gullible.
Keo Ramey tell me one thing: Where is the law protecting the poor innocent people enduring suffering and killed by Hun Sen gov't? And why are you interested in protecting the killer of the nation?
Let me try since you two cannot make peace with each other.
Here are my opinions:
-I do agree that Cambodia should have a law (but the law must be enforced, otherwise it is useless); the law to protect the former president, Prime Minister and their spouses not for life but for certain period of time. This law will apply to every leader not to a specific person like Hun Sen.
This law will protect the nation from having the leader who wants to stay in power for life. Why some leaders want to stay in power for life? Because he has feared for his life and his family's safetyness; thus he has to be a dictator to keep his power which is bad for the country. And since some people like you already voiced your opinions eg. kill him, no way he will leave the power. For those reasons Hun Sen and every dictators like in Burma will do everything they could to stay in power.
Let assume that your family members are being held hostage, you must know how to use skills
and tact in dealing with others such as criminals; otherwise your whole family members will end up being executed by the criminals.
We humans must adopt and adapt a diplomacy to survive.
We cannot win all, but we must not jeopardize and kill the innocence people who are being trapped inside of Cambodia. For the record, you cannot blame those innocence UNARMED citizen. No you cannot do that.
It is WRONG to say that because Hun Sen is animal thus you have to be an Animal, NO. We are in a civilized world society, so please act accordingly. Khmers were from a great rich civilization not animals. Khmers are CAPABLE of great Wisdom not animals.
Like I have said al along that Cambodia must enforce the LAWS, that NO one is ABOVE the LAWS. Without that the Laws in Cambodia is useless.
me28
ahahahahhah!
Create laws to protect a killer?
This is unheard of in civilized nation on Earth!!!
AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave treated Cambodian people like animals and he should be treated the same way!
Diplomacy is not "an eye for an eye". If you can not understand diplomacy, and only understands force, then replacing Hen Sen is hopeless.
He loves it when you use force, because that gives him more reason to garner power. Politics 101.
Hello,
It is purely politics!
I agree with Anon. @12:57 P.M.
Thanks
Somlor Ma-Chou Yuon
That Keo man need to go and live join Mr. Noun Chea in Pailin. Is he crazy???????!!!!!!!
I agree with me28 and 12:57PM. The rest don't seem to understand English and problems how to deal with Hun Sen and his thugs. me28 makes it so simple to understand and 12:57PM makes it difficult for those who just learned ESL.
If these guys think they can threat Hun Sen or use force to remove him and his thugs they need to dig million more graves.
I don't think these guys know what is diplomacy, no wonder Hun Sen thugs rule for nearly half century.
Cambodia is already the land of the mass graves! Today AH HUN SEN enjoy eating ,drink, and sleeping with his wife while the rest of Cambodian people continue to suffer but one day will come and his tear drop is no different than that of a rain drop!
AH HUN SEN had been cursed upon a thousand times and his is already a death man! He is a walking death man!
