Opposition MPs' letter to ASEAN-EU Minsters regarding securing Aung San Suu Kyi's release

26 May 2009

Honorable Ministers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the European Union,

Re: ASEAN-EU Ministerial Meetings must secure Aung San Suu Kyi’s release

Welcome to all of you to the Kingdom of Cambodia. May I take this opportunity to commend you on your efforts in raising the issue of Myanmar, and Aung San Suu Kyi’s detention and trial, in your various capacities thus far.

We, Members of Parliament from Cambodia, call upon you as ASEAN-EU Ministers who are meeting in Phnom Penh on 27 and 28 May to take urgent action to secure the freedom of Myanmar’s democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

Aung San Suu Kyi’s call for national reconciliation, via diplomats who met her at her trial last week, proves that there is still much hope for positive change in Myanmar. However, for this to materialise, she and her fellow incarcerated leaders must be free to engage with military leaders.

ASEAN and the EU can help make this happen.

Further to that, countries from ASEAN and the EU, in particular Cambodia may want to host a meeting of all leaders in Myanmar along with representatives from nations who have a stake and role in Myanmar, such as the US, China, Japan, India, and even Russia. This meeting of leaders will be crucial in seeking a solution to the situation in Myanmar.

While you are here, we would like you to encourage our Prime Minister, Samdach Hun Sen, to offer Cambodia as a venue on such a meeting of international leaders.

ASEAN and EU leaders have an opportunity to kick start national reconciliation, and the resumption of democratic process, in Myanmar. We urge you to seize this opening.

Yours truly,
MP Son Chhay

On behalf of MPs.

Hey gang!

In this case... I'm still wondering when Theary Seng is going to play a role in protecting or should I say protesting Myanmar's gov for the release of the pro-democracy Leader Aung San Suu Kyi's.

I thought I saw Theary Seng wasting her time under the rain trying to show to the world that she is with our Leader Aung San Auu Kyi? But, hey, where is the action, Theary? Or, you just did it for a show? Plus, she has the gut to put that fake picture on her webpage. Wow, how ridiculous she is!!! Poor Theary, when the real situation is there, she's hiding somewhere, umm, behind Hun Kwack's back.

Poor Theary, sooo MUCH of noises, but nothing really has been done.
