Cambodia's Opposition Leader has been stripped of his Parliamentary immunity for a second time this year, over a dispute about wooden posts marking the border between Cambodia and Vietnam.
Cambodia's Parliament voted on Monday to remove the legal immunity of Opposition Leader Sam Rainsy.
The move clears the way for a court to investigate the former finance minister, who stands accused of overseeing the removal last month of wooden posts marking the border between Cambodia and Vietnam.
Two opposition parties boycotted Monday's vote, though the move made little difference since the ruling party holds enough seats to push through its will.
Sam Rainsy, who is currently in Europe, had claimed he was merely standing up for the rights of local villagers who said they were losing land to Vietnam.
Opposition party legislator Son Chhay says the vote was motivated by politics, not law.
It is the fourth time this year that opposition MPs have lost their immunity.

ReplyDeleteWhy do you need wings for if you can't fly?
ReplyDeletewhen youn have finish their plans of robbing Cambodia, they will kill Hun Sen and his Gang groups.
What a shame to these leaders.
Sam rainsy has obtained what he sought, We think ,he must be happy now.
ReplyDeleteThe sam rainsy’s parliamentary immunity is now suspended and will allow justice to investigate in this case and sam rainsy must come and explain and defend itself in court and everyone involved in the video and who say that victim in this case must come and defend their cause in the court. This is the best way to resolve this case and not a personal action and unlawful of sam rainsy.
Sam rainsy’s immunity is not permanently lost to him.
If the court recognizes his innocent sam rainsy will find
again his parliamentary immunity.
It is the normal procedure under State of Law.
it's time to end impunity.
By laughing non stop Justice, he will end one day stay behind bars.
Only sam rainsy’s immunity is suspended, other members of the opposition party can do their job normally.
The opposition is not muzzled.
Let's be serious and responsible.
And stop manipulating your supporters and Khmer people because they are not idiots.
RFA asked Xam RainXy a simple question that "Will he come back to Cambodia to face the Court if Parliament lift his immunity?". He didn't answer the question but at the same he tried to say something which irrelevant to the question, aim to cover up his coward act. What is a funny politician?
ReplyDeleteSince he pulled off the six poles near Vietnam's border, he always says all along that he doesn't afraid at all if the government sues him, but right now, he can't even step his foot in Cambodia.
As I am often said that Xam RainXy is brave only in front of microphone but in real life, he likes a rat runs around asking other people to help him whenever his political stunt get backfire.
Xam RainXy should go to Thailand and asks his ally (Abhisit and PAD) for helping him.
Khmer in Sydney
and CPP's achievements? you clowns don't know cuz ur too blinded by your jealousy and hatreds. U clowns have no idea how to run a country, if u did you wouldn't be living outside of ur motherland. SHAME ON U!!! So unless u got some clues on how to make the country better SHUT DA FUCK UP.
ReplyDeletekhmer brainyoun in sydney, shut the fuck ,son of the bitch ,motherfucker//////////////

As PM, Mr. Sam Raingsy was not allowing to remove the wooden post from the border by himself. His unwritten law action will gave a lot of trouble not just for himself but also for the people at the border.
ReplyDeleteNow the show go on.
If Sam Rainsy goes to Thailand, Will his ally (Thai PM Abhisit) appoint him as economic advisor likes Hun Sen did to Thaksin?
ReplyDeleteIts crazy to see how some ppl write good stuff about the CPP when it's so obvious that they can do no good for the future of Cambodia. SOO CRAZYY and blind.
ReplyDeleteWe think it does need to waste time with sam rainsy.
ReplyDeletesam rainsy's political career in Cambodia is finished. He will not win the 2013 elections and he will never be Prime Minister of Cambodia.
We must create a new political opposition and a new leader now for the 2013 elections .It is more interesting and useful for people who are interested and want to do a political career in cambodia to replace M.Hun Sen when he will retire.
Don’t be fanatical. There are only idiots who never change their minds.
Mr. Sam Rainsy no needs to stay in France, please come to Thailand, our PM will appoint him as economic adviser likes Hun Sen has done to fugitive Thaksin. And SRP supporters can come to visit him anytime.
ReplyDeleteDemocratic Party of Thailand
don't know you should ask Abhisit.
ReplyDeleteSINCE THE BEGINING EVERYONE KNOW THAT AH KHMER VIET-MINH WILL 100% FOLLOW THE ORDER FROM AH YOUN HANOI.

Share us with your idea.
to the first 3:10, can you tell us when in any time during Hun Xen rule that allow citizens close to clarifying anything before government?
ReplyDeleteThey would be lucky if they can even deliver a letter of protest to the national assembly building without police trying to kick them out!
You never listen to us. We did the same for eviction in your Nom Benh. Who came out and solve these problem? Who even let allow us to speak???
the only one who is an idiot is the one who pretend there is no lies and there are no problem!
Who are Cambodians?
ReplyDeleteThis question is being asked to everyone who are reading this message.
- Sam Rainsy Party and members are Cambodians
- CPP party and members are Cambodians
So it makes sense that these two parties have to bear Cambodian heart. But the CPP's parliamentarians who raised hand to show their vote of lifting Sam Rainsy's immunity because of his concern with border demarcation with Vietnam showed us strange and super strange thing in Cambodia politics.
SRP party and CPP party have been working to bring benefits and interests for Cambodia. But when Sam Rainsy dare to check with eyes the border point demarcation and the farm owners pulled out those simple wood-sticks, CPP has taken this issue seriously to the parliament to bully Sam Rainsy. (Note: Sam Rainsy didn't pull out those sticks but as a leader he has to protect those weak farmers by accepting his act in pulling those sticks). But the craziest thing is that parliament members didn't firstly investigate the case properly by using its most ability to respect the voice of voters (people) and minor party.
For Chheam Yeab, he is over-stated the act of Sam Rainsy as "Security Concern" of the nation. Nguyen Tan Dong accused Sam Rainsy only vandalizing public property and undermine friend relations, but CPP's court of Svay Rieng accused Sam Rainsy more than that as racism. But all those accusation is even worse, the worst is Chheam Yeap who accused Sam Rainsy of "undermining national security". This accusation is really unrealistic and not different from Pol Pot.
When Pol Pot wanted to kill someone, they would create a case and accused them as "undermining national security" or "being traitor" etc. Now, under Chheam Yeab, it has become worse than that because to try the case of Sam Rainsy and accused him in that felony verdict it means to threaten Cambodian people in the whole country. Pol Pot killed people they suspected but took firm stance to protect border land in both Vietnam and Thailand. But current government, may be under Chheam Yeab's policy, Cambodia will be easily integrated into Vietnam; or at least in the name of Cambodia but every main policies and leadership must be guided by Vietnam as same as in Lao.
Who is Chheam Yeab?
1. Since the Cambodia-Vietnam supplemental border treaty, to Khmer Monk Tim Sakhorn, to 22 Khmer military PhDs, to allying with Thaksin to slap Abhisit's cheek, and to current bullying of Sam Rainsy etc illustrates the "hell policy of CPP" which has undeniably lost its integrity, independence and self-determination. CPP can use 99% ownership of mass media to manipulate the whole Cambodian people inside this country, but CPP cannot hide themselves from frustration of its self-destruction policy and final demise.
2. The answer must come out directly from CPP's members themselves. Do they want to live longer and pursue self-reliance or not? Many CPP's members and parliament representatives are actually patriotic but how can they untie themselves from this rapid fastening of neo-imperialism approach of Vietnam? Many CPP's members are wanting to defuse the Vietnamese power from inside should start to "walk the talk". However, I don't see they are doing that plan because from day to day, they are firmly becoming strongly tied in trap.
If CPP's members think that your leaders are doing the right thing and current mechanism to handle with Sam Rainsy is correct, I think you are lost in the abyss of ignorance.

It's an embarrassment to all.
ReplyDeleteCPP cronies hit Sam Rainsy instead of the inept an incompetent Chantrea administrative for not protecting people property which led them to ask for help from outsider, in this case, an MP.
Think about it, CPP hit the cart not the lazy oxen.
Khmer is only the Viet's flunky.
ReplyDeleteYuons rock!
KI,
ReplyDeleteStop behaving like a child because it only humiliates yourself and the opposition. If you really want to help the country, here what you and the opposition, especially Mr. Rainsy should have done.
Mr. Rainsy must remain in the country and ORDER his party members to boycott all parliamentary sessions until the CPP restore his immunity. Instead of writing the letter to the King asking his intervention, Mr. Rainsy must himself become more vocal about the Viet encroachment and incite the mass population to stand up, not against the CPP or PM Hun Sen, but against Hanoi.
You and I know that Hanoi pressures Hun Sen to remove Mr. Rainsy’s immunity. The right thing for Mr. Rainsy and people like you to do is NOT to hit back at PM Hun Sen, but to revolve against Hanoi by publicly inciting riots against yuon interests and community on Cambodia soil. Many CPP people will support you. Also, when you incite people against Hanoi, PM Hun Sen can go back and tell Hanoi that Khmer people will start a new revolution or that CPP will lose its legitimacy in parliament if Hanoi forces CPP to suppress Khmer Nationalists.
Instead of condemning PM Hun Sen, you and the opposition should lend him a helping hand to refuse Hanoi order.
Hun Sen seen hypocrite in this case. How could one punish someone else for protecting his nation interest? unless Hun Sen is not Cambodian...
ReplyDelete9:45 PM
ReplyDeleteOf course the PM of Cambodia, Mr Hun Sen is a Cambodian or 100 % Khmer, but some people did not know how to deal with him. They just make him near and near to the Viet.
We Cambodian or Khmer and not other people (Thais or Vietnamese) have to solve our own problem.
- Be clear Mr. Sam Raingsy is a politician, Member of Parliament of Cambodia and not a ordinary refugee. He can't stay away from his responsible.
