Sam Rainsy: “I will hold power for one term only, if I cannot accomplish it, I will step down”

Wednesday, December 05, 2007
Everyday.com.kh
Translated from Khmer by Heng Soy

Opposition leader Sam Rainsy said that, if he were to be elected as prime minister during the upcoming 2008 election, he would maintain this position for one term only, and if he cannot accomplish (his duty), he would step down immediately. The opposition-leaning Sralanh Khmer newspaper quoted Sam Rainsy who said on Tuesday through the voice of the “Candle Light” radio station: “If I cannot accomplish (my duty as PM), I will step down by myself, there is no need to wait for 20-30 years.” Sam Rainsy said that if he were to hold power, he would reorganize the national budget to make it decent, and he will create decent jobs for the population, as well as sufficient and decent salaries for them. Sam Rainsy added that he will raise and provide decent salaries to government workers, police officers, soldiers, and teachers, but he did not elaborate on the amount of salary increase. He only said that with the elimination of corruption, (the government) can find enough funds to increase the salaries of government workers. With the approaching election season, each political party is starting to broadcast its political messages to the public from now on.

LOL, Sam Rainsy will created decent jobs for the population, hahaha, LOL, hahaha. When was the last time he was concerned with Cambodia high unemployment? And with high unemployment, there will be no such thing as decent jobs for the population. That is just not the way "supply vs. demand" work.

How long has Sam Rainsy been in charge of his party? Is it as long as Hun Sen in power?

Well! If AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave kept interfering with the opposition party democratic process and how can the opposition party get anything done! The opposition party relies heavily in using the law to protect their arse and too often it is AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave who is the fucken law and if he chose not to enforce the fucken law and what can the opposition do? Nothing!

Sam Rainsy Party has done a good job in helping Cambodian people in their fight for justice and Cambodian people know that and the election of 2008 will be the culmination of what Sam Rainsy Party has done for Cambodian people!

He who cannot agree with his enemies is controlled by them.

Congratulation Sam Rainsy!

You have to be brave to tell the truth to Cambodian people, especially youth who are desiring for changes in Cambodia. Jobs are easily created through only anti-corruption and enforce the rule of laws, more investments will come to Cambodia.

Cambodia needs a change, and a person to stand on this change is Sam Rainsy.

Without changing the leader, Cambodia will face with dictatorship, injustice and poverty..

Oh shut the fuck up! Enough with the stupid theory that you will be able to wipe out corruption in Cambodia, 12:52.

We don't want no lip service. We want to see record of accomplishment and plans for this. Who are you trying to kid here?

Make it real and get the fact straight:

I like Mr. Sam if I can vote i will vote for him.

Five years term will not enough to put everything in order after so many years of messy house. 2 terms would be reasonable. 3 terms would be too much to do anything.

I ask Mr. Sam to take his word ONE term back. WATCH OUT: Your word may be haunting you next time

Well, Sam Rainsy needs not to worry about his word because no one is going to let overconfident idiot to rule any country.

I am sure he will keep his promise.
He thinks hard before talking.
But the main problem is the YUON vote. Don't forget we have in our country about 5 Mllions YUONS who will vote HUN XEN. And most of Khmers pro Sam Rainsy will be prevented from voting.
Could Mr Sam Rainsy explain us, how he could win the 2008 election?
If he can't win this next election, I doubt we will win one day democratically, because we will be minority in our country like Kampuchea Krom.

Nope, you can't keep the impossible promise. Plus, he has no record of experiences that show he can do miracle anywhere. Only dummy will risk the country on such idiot.

If Sam Rainsy can't win the election and let AH HUN SEN take Cambodia to the end of the world until the next bloody revolution!

I just hate the concept to start everything all over again!

Bloody revolution, hahaha, LOL, hahaha ... ROFLMAO.

Anonymous said...

Cambodia is still living in a Stone Age and the next bloody revolution is still possible!

Land Grabbing by killing and evicting Cambodian people! High Unemployment! High corruption! Injustice for Cambodian people to be judged by the Vietcong court! Economic enslavement! Only AH HUN SEN family and the CPP clan can rule and control everything in Cambodia!

It takes a little spark to start a fire! If Cambodian people can't start a revolution and I like to see a bloody coup the one like in 1997!

ROFLMAO = Retired Old Fart Life Made Abandonment Option!

Nope, Cambodia under the leadership of real Khmer people (PM Hun Sen) is on the way out of the messes created by the westerner trained idiots.

We cannot eliminate corruption, but we can minimize corruption through the law enforcement, or to build a rule of law.

But look at Hun Sen, law is in his lip; and he is using his position to step on the law. It is contradict to Sam Rainsy, when he comes to power, he is traditionally affected by "rule of law" style, not Hun Sen who is affected by "dictatorship" style.

Ex: many public speech, Hun Sen intentionally assumed by himself not by national law. He is professional only dictatorship behavior, so corruption minimizing under Hun Sen leadership is zero.

4:38, we would love to let non-experience people try it, the problem is we are poor. One wrong move and millions will died just like the 70's. Also FYI, we are no Ginny Pigs.

What Sam Rainsy should do is to try it in the west since they love him over there. Plus, if he screw up, everyone is insured, and no one will died.

His knowledge and experiences is better than Hun Sen. Hun Sen came to power with knowing nothing. He was just leader of one small brigade, and his experience till now is good only to manipulate and cheat Cambodian people.

Every time, his promise and speech is full of self-conceited and self-delusion.

Believe it or not! AH HUN SEN is still learning to rule Cambodia and he will be condemned to learn forever!

The way AH HUN SEN do things are so irrational and only to please his Vietcong master! The way this mother fucker treated his population with his development scheme is only to enrich him and the so called investors!

I have yet to see one HUN SEN development scheme that can raise the standard of living for dirt poor Cambodian people! I haven't seen one yet!

I believe after AH HUN SEN is long gone from politic and completely destroy Cambodia and Cambodian people will never learn anything from AH HUN SEN mistakes and that is his legacy!

I remembered the Vietcong leader used to say about AH HUN SEN that he is very "dangerous man" in 1980! But at the same time the Vietcong leaders conceited that AH HUN SEN is only dangerous to his population but not to the Viet population! Because without AH HUN SEN permission the million and million of illegal Viet population can never settle peacefully in Cambodia and to compete for jobs, land, and housing from dirt Cambodian population!

As long as AH HUN SEN can still hang on to power and it is an obligation of every Viet people to vote for him to stay in power until the last day of his breath!

What experiences and knowledges, 11:57? Stop dreaming, will you? Sam Rainsy, only have experiences in banking industry, and we have thousands of people who have more experiences than him in that area. Hence, we don't need him here.

Anonymous said...

Sam Rainy have experience thinking like a scholar and opening up his mind to the intellects and not the money and prostitutes.

Real experience comes from identifying problems, Sam Rainsy knows the problem, however, your friend Hun sen over 20 years of power, still don't know what Cambodia's problems are.
