On 25 October 2012, Yim Sovann, spokesman for the SRP and a SRP MP, expressed his intense regret that the third letter sent by Opposition Leader Sam Rainsy on 22 October 2012 was rejected by the government once again.
In that letter, Sam Rainsy asked for an authorization to pay his last respect for former King Sihanouk.
The content of the third letter is similar to that of his two previous letters. Sam Rainsy’s letters – sent to Chea Xim, the chief organizer of the king’s funeral ceremony and to Hun Xen – were returned without any explanation.
On the other hand, the same letter sent to Heng Xamrin, the vice-chairman of the funeral ceremony, was not returned back, but no reply was given back to Sam Rainsy.
Yim Sovann said that he really regrets to see the government attitude: “H.E. Mr. Sam Rainsy showed his support to the Hero-King’s advice for national reconciliation and unity, therefore we really regret to see the government not taking this letter into consideration, and instead, it returned it back to us. This is very regrettable.”
In reaction to Yim Sovann’s accusation, Phay Siphom , mouthpiece of the Council of Ministers, explained that Sam Rainsy’s letter did not respond to legality, and the regime did review properly its content, that’s why it did not reply due to government [being busy] with strengthening the rule of law.
On 16 October 2012, a royal decree was issued to set up a national committee for the former king’s funeral ceremony. The committee consists of 49 members and it is charged with organizing the funeral for the former king who died on 15 October 2012 in Beijing, China.

Sam Rainsy, your letters: please to three top leaders of the CPP and supports 23 October as a holiday will not help you to return back to Cambodia. In order to get forgiveness from PM Hun Sen, you must eat all your words for the last 4 years that have insulted PM and the CPP. Plus sincere apology to PM Hun Sen.
Pi Anh.
Why does Lok Protean Sam Rainsy sound so desparate? Where is foreign court that Lok Protean has sued Hun Xen? And which foreign government that can help Lok Protean returns to Cambodia? Please don't loose hope Lok Protean. At least I am living in overseas like you.
Pang Sokheoun, Secretary-General of SRP in Sweden.
This confirmation made Mu Sochua looks like a fool and arrogant mouthpiece of certain self serving group.
She does not understand US foreign policy and strategic diplomacy that is necessary for US to counterplay China over reach.
I said it before, MU Sochua was reinstated immunity as MP because of US intervention and she should not press her luck in being a foreign passport holder.
It seems ridiculous as she campaigns hard in abroad to win former refugtees emotion for the election in Cambodia in 2013. Her tactic is obviously, exploit refugees again the same as Sihanouk, and the rest.
SHAME ON HER!!! :P
