In his turbulent political career, Cambodian opposition leader Sam Rainsy has endured assassination attempts and death threats and has seen friends and colleagues killed
By GEORGE MCLEOD
From a crumbling office in Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh, opposition party leader Sam Rainsy put on a brave face when asked about his party's future. "We have doubled the votes we have previously collected," he said, referring to Cambodia's recent commune elections.
But in Cambodia's fragile democracy, few believe that Rainsy will ever win power, regardless of the popular vote. Independent observers say the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) is tightening its grip in the country, allegedly through violence and intimidation.
In his turbulent political career, Rainsy has endured assassination attempts, death threats and has seen friends and colleagues killed.
Rainsy was also convicted of defamation in 2005 for accusing Prime Minister Hun Sen of instigating violent attacks on his supporters. He returned in 2006 from self-imposed exile and is now guarded in his criticisms of the government. "My return was a result of international pressure. The CPP has changed its strategy; it relies less on violence but more on tricks, but the result is the same," he said in an interview in Phnom Penh. With elections scheduled for next year, Rainsy warns that the CPP's "tricks" may prevent a fair ballot.
Rainsy rose to prominence as finance minister after Cambodia's first democratic elections in 1993. Then a member of the royalist FUNCINPEC Party, he introduced sweeping reforms to fight corruption and introduce a modern taxation and procurement system.
The reforms ruffled the feathers of the ruling CPP, and members of FUNCINPEC, and he was expelled from his position in 1994. Refusing to abandon politics, Rainsy formed his own party, the Khmer Nation Party, later renamed the Sam Rainsy Party (SRP).
Since then, the party has seen its support grow, but has endured threats and often violent attacks, say independent observers.
Human Rights Watch's Brad Adams said that numerous human rights violations against opposition supporters have been documented since 1993.
"Since (political) pluralism was brought in by the UN, hundreds of opposition party members and activists have been killed and not one person has been brought to justice for any of those killings," he said from London. "What you have in Cambodia is a one-party quasi-dictatorship," he said.
The first major attack on Rainsy happened in 1997 at a workers rally in Phnom Penh. At 8:20 a.m. on March 30, four grenades were lobbed into the crowd, apparently aimed at Rainsy. Rainsy was thrown to the ground by his bodyguards, one of whom was killed by the blasts. According to Amnesty International, a total of 19 people were killed and more than 100 injured in the blasts.
An Amnesty International report on the attack said that police at the scene did not help the wounded, and that two people who were alive in the immediate aftermath were left out in the sun, without help, and later died at the scene.
In July of the same year, Cambodia erupted in near civil war as the CPP and FUNCINPEC fought pitched battles throughout the country, resulting in a CPP victory.
Rainsy fled Cambodia, and many of his supporters went into hiding. Armed looters broke into the SRP headquarters and into Rainsy's house, gutting the buildings. He returned to a nearly shattered party - many SRP activists dead or having fled as refugees.
With elections scheduled for July 1998, Rainsy rapidly reorganised the party, mounting an effective campaign based on fighting corruption, alleviating poverty and defending workers' rights. Despite flaws in the voting process, the SRP secured 15 parliamentary seats. Rainsy also supported the emergence of Cambodia's first independent trade union, the Free Trade Union of Cambodia. The country's booming garment industry had attracted hoardes of what Rainsy calls "cowboy capitalists," who often profited from exploitative sweatshop labour. The union's president Chea Vichea was killed in 2004 - many believe the assassination was ordered by bodyguards of a senior government official.
Since Rainsy's return from exile, he has tirelessly worked to attract voters in the impoverished country. Campaigning in a rural country with poor infrastructure and rampant illiteracy carries unique challenges. Rainsy has to visit voters face to face, and nearly every day, he travels in a small convoy on Cambodia's dirt roads speaking to the masses.
It comes down to corruption
Rainsy's message is simple: corruption and mismanagement are holding back Cambodia - it is time for a change.
"There are two main issues: one is bad governance... The second is unemployment and poverty. Most of these problems come down to corruption," he said in Phnom Penh.
The international corruption watchdog Transparency International rates Cambodia near the bottom of its international index at 153 out of 163. Thailand is rated near the middle at 63.
Much of Cambodia's corruption involves alleged embezzlement of the more than $600 million in foreign aid the Cambodian government receives each year.
"(The donor money) has gone into the pockets of corrupt government officials," says Rainsy. "Cambodia is the bad conscious of the world, and the international community has spent a lot of money relieving its conscience," he said.
The depth of Cambodia's corruption was illustrated in June when the UK-based environmental watchdog Global Witness produced a report documenting illegal logging in Cambodia. Senior government figures close to the prime minister were identified as being behind multi-million dollar illegal logging syndicates. The report entitled Cambodia's Family Trees was banned by the Cambodian government and copies were seized.
Global Witness' Eleanor Nichol said the government also threatened its staff and prohibited them from visiting Cambodia. She said that the prime minister's brother Hun Neng was quoted saying he would "break the heads of any Global Witness official travelling to Cambodia."
"The issuing of death threats by a senior Cambodian official is absolutely unacceptable from any perspective," she said from London. Nichol believes that the government's reaction is part of a broader problem of authoritarianism in Cambodia. "Over the past 10 years we have seen a steady consolidation of power in the hands of an elite few, which has attracted remarkably little attention in the international community," she said.
Nichol added that Cambodia's opposition has faced immense challenges. "The space for the (Cambodian) opposition is steadily declining... (the opposition) is doing the best they can under the circumstances."
However, prominent author and expert on Cambodia objects to what he has called anti-Vietnamese tendencies within the Sam Rainsy Party.
"When speaking in Khmer (Rainsy's) remarks about [the] Vietnamese are racist," he wrote in an emailed response.
"And during the election campaign in 1993 one speech was so bad the UN ... would not let it be broadcast, even though they were on (Rainsy's) side... That is, they hoped FUNCINPEC, not CPP, would win," he wrote. Vickery's new book Cambodia: A Political Survey, argues that western governments and NGOs such as Human Rights Watch are driven by a Cold War-rooted prejudice against the Cambodian People's Party. The CPP was installed by the Vietnamese, and was seen throughout the 1980s as a pro-Hanoi puppet regime. Rainsy maintains that his remarks about Viet Nam address border-encroachment issues, and do not contain racist undertones.

I solely pray for Samdech Sam Rainsy to win the election of 2008 as long as Hun Sen's supporters and his subordinates don't cheat the votes. Hun Sen subordinates was switching the votes every election under UN watch dog Because UN didn't do a very good job in policing the vote.
Now Hun Sen tries to cheat the vote by erasing voter names that didn't support his party and leave the names who are belonging to CPP. They will start to itimidate and kill their opponents from now until election, either by car accident, robbery, or other means.
Khmer outside of the country won't go to visit Cambodia in 2008 due to Hun Sen violent in election time. Foreign visitors should be aware of 2008 election.
Let's see what 2008 election comes out.
Sam Raisy will be the next Khmer Prime Minister for sure.
Samrainsy ! Samrainsy ! Samrainsy !
I propose a change to the term Somdach that Khmer use so frivously. This leads people to think they are too important like Hun Sen and give them an ego to abuse the common people.
I propose that we start calling all our leaders Ekadom, Chuntiev and Lok and Neak Srei. No more somdach titles, no more remiensce of authoritarian terms.
Sam Rainsy will not be Samdech at all because he cannot guarante Sihanouk from Khmer Rouge Trial. Also while Sihanouk is still alive, Sihanouk doesn't want to see Sam Rainsy as CAmbodian Prime Minister. Sihanouk is very worry about the welfare of all his children under Sam Rainsy leadership. At present, Siharmony is sitting on a gold plate of US$5millions dollars a year. Sam Rainsy may reduce that sum to 1 millions and to take 4 millions for hospitals and Schools. For us 0ne million is a lot of monies. But for Sihanouk, one millions rather nothing !!!
lolzz ah ah ah ah ah that so funny ... i hope that Sam Rainsy will die soon !!! oh buddha may he the evil and shity leader of ther refugy party go to hell to join his stupid shity americains slave suporter and hope he see his friend who died in 1998 ! ~ Stupid shity head !!! I hope you will lose everything you have. !!!!! Dead to the Shity Refugy Party of my ass !!!

From Koulen Monorom
(the rice farmer's son)
Dear Koulen Monorom ! I think you have too much faith into your dream. You must realise with the real world. Your assumption is only coming from your dream without considering the world today. Politic is more complicated than what your dream is. You may lead your family in the way you have dream, but to lead a Nation, there are so mych consideration to be made. There are complications:
1-Local politic: How to please everyone and how to set the rule of laws.
2-World politic: You need to understand about military power and trading partners. China and USA used to be in confrontation for many decades. But now USA and China have became the world biggest trading partner with more than 160 billions of dollars in trade value. China and Japan used to be worst ennemies to each other. But now how much these two country have to trade to each other?
By reading your comment, your policy can only lead a small tribe in Ratanak Kiri only where your trading business can be done by butter trade.
Without consideration of tradings relationship and other closed relationship with all Nations around the world, you are not a good politician at all.
Please do not call Sam Rainsy Samdech! He does not like this word even though he support the constitutional monarchy in Cambodia. The term Samdech now becoms just a rubbish since there are Samdech Killer, Samdech Drug-traffiker, Sandech Vietnam Pupet and so on.
These fucken foreigners always label Mr. Sam Rainsy as RACIST toward the Vietcong but the foreigners never label the Vietcong government as RACIST for oppressing over 10 million Khmer Krom people in Khmer Kampuchea Krom! I never believe for a moment when these foreigners start calling AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave puppet government as legitimate government for Cambodian people! Gee! I have to wonder why! I wouldn't be surprised because the same of UN mission to Cambodia was led by Japanese by the name of Akashi Yasushi who is the head of UNTAC and this guy is only interest in kissing the Vietcong's ass for an ally to stand against China! This Japanese guy even tells Cambodian people not to use the word “YOUN” when calling the Vietcong because he considered it is racist! I couldn’t believe my eyes when this mother fucker starts telling Cambodian people how to speak in their language! This manipulation of United Nations mission at the highest level to benefit Japan at the suffering of Cambodian people is unspeakable!
When I look back for all the fucken shit that United Nations had done for Cambodia is just for a fucken show because Cambodia still have the same Vietcong puppet government and the same Vietcong slave dictator and over 10 million more Khmer Krom people still live as oppressed people under the Vietcong government today!
This is kind of world that Cambodian people are force to live in which to take all the fucken bullshit from the Vietcong and others and if that is not enough they always find way to force something else down Cambodian people’ throat! It is time to change the whole paradigm of Cambodian geopolitics!
Yuon is the origin of a race like khmer is the origin term of a race too. I don't understand why these people (the vietnamese is so afraid of being called youn - to me you can call me khmer, I don't mind).
United We Stand, Divided We Fall. Khmer must learn to tolerate khmer compatriats. We are united, because there are many youn spy living in Cambodia. They speak khmer the same as we speak.
We need more educated guys like Sam Rainsy to run the country. It's still anarchy in Cambodia. The strong eats the weak. The weak eats the weak. No laws really. Money and power is the law.
Michael Vickery has always been pro-Vietnamese and welcome by the Vietnamese puppet regime in Phnom Penh.That's hwy he accuses Sam Rainsy of being racist and anti-Vietnamese.
