Royalists will merge, royal not necessary

Friday, 03 August 2012

The Phnom Penh Post

Top members of the two royalist parties in Cambodia have a message for Prince Norodom Ranariddh: We’re merging, with or without you.

Funcinpec and the party that bears Norodom Ranariddh’s name, NRP, plan to hold a political congress later this month to reboot merger talks that foundered in recent months over disagreements between Ranariddh and the head of Funcinpec, Nhek Bun Chhay.

Chhay and Sao Rany, secretary-general of NRP, told the Post yesterday the royalist parties will hold the congress even if Ranariddh remains opposed.

Sao Rany to ask Phnom Penh court to suspend the NRP

Translated from Khmer by Ta Keo

Phnom Penh – Sao Rany, the secretary-general of the NRP, said in a press conference held on 22 July 2012 that, on 23 July 2012, he will ask the Phnom Penh municipal court to suspend the NRP to prevent the latter from creating a mess.

Those involved should show up, Sao Rany said while claiming that, in the court request to suspend the NRP, he has all the necessary proof, however, he cannot talk about this yet as of now.

Sao Rany explained: “The suspension of the NRP [is requested] so that it cannot sack people at will, and we are blocking its path for now so that it cannot undertake this [sacking] anymore. I have no intention to betray Samdach Krom Preah, I was faithful to him since 2006 and I almost lost the bottom of my pants, my wife almost kicked me out of the house. At the end, I am only left with hurtful feelings. He twisted my neck to the back, he illegally kicked me out. What did I do wrong? All of us are almost starving to follow the prince. The final results: he illegally sacked us.”

The upper echelon of Norodom Ranariddh’s own party is publicly urging the leader to step down so officials can revive a moribund merger with Funcinpec.

The move, officials from both sides say, would free up the parties to negotiate without the clashes between Ranariddh and Funcinpec head Nhek Bun Chhay that have upended previous mergers.

Sao Rany, an NRP lawmaker and secretary-general of the party, told the Post that the act was a negotiation strategy to build up power before next year’s national election.

“I see that if we do not merge, we will die in 2013,” Rany said. In June’s commune elections, Funcinpec and NRP had an abysmal showing.

Translated from Khmer by Socheata

Pen Sangha, the NRP spokesman, told Rasmei Kampuchea that the NRP extraordinary congress was held this past Saturday. The party decided to change its name from NRP to the “Nationalist Party” and it approved Chhim Siek Leng as the new party president. Besides selecting a new party president, the congress also selected 2 new party vice-presidents: You Hockry, the no. 1 party VP, and Pok Than, the no. 2 party VP. NRP MP Sao Rany from Prey Veng province was nominated as the party secretary-general. Nhiek Bun Chhay, Funcinpec secretary-general, and several other high-ranking Funcinpec officials were also guests at the congress. Pen Sangha indicated that the congress was held to change the party name only, there was no merger with Funcinpec yet, but the two royalist parties are cooperating with each other, as stipulated in the MOU between the two parties on 30 January 2009.

NRP rift deepens, faction seeks to oust lawmakers [-NRP is still in disarray]

Pre-empting his election as president of the NRP, Suth Dina makes public moves to oust You Hockry and Sao Rany

THE rift between the two factions of the beleagured Norodom Ranariddh Party deepened Monday, with one faction announcing an extraordinary congress to be held mid-February to elect a new president and change the name of the party to the Khmer National Front, officials said Monday.

"We are changing the name following the request of Prince Norodom Ranariddh not to use his photo and his name for the party. After the congress, we will send a list of candidates who will replace You Hockry and Sao Rany," Suth Dina, former spokesman of NRP, told the Post.

"We have already informed the National Election Committee and National Assembly about the end of You Hockry and Sao Rany as representatives," he said.

But You Hockry, secretary general of NRP, said that Suth Dina did not have the authority to end his time as a lawmaker.

"Who is the president of the party? It is Chhim Seak Leng. The Ministry of Interior recognises his legislation, and he is the legal representative of the NRP after Norodom Ranariddh resigned," he said.

"I have been informed that a group [led by Suth Dina] will organise a congress to chase us out of the party. But it will be illegal because only Chhim Seak Leng is the legal president.... I will send a letter to the Ministry of Interior to take measures against these illegal activities," he added.

Tep Nytha, NEC secretary general, said the commission was currently studying the legality of a letter requesting the removal of You Hockry and Sao Rany as lawmakers.

"According to the Ministry of Interior, only Chhim Seak Leng has the legal right to sign any document on behalf of the NRP. I have not received any changes from the Ministry of Interior," he said.

Disarray deepens in NRP [-Everybody is firing everybody else]

Central committee ousts 17 student group members.

TURMOIL within the Norodom Ranariddh Party reached new depths Saturday, with the party's central committee moving to oust 17 officials linked to the Democratic Front of Khmer Students and Intellectuals, former NRP spokesman Suth Dina told the Post Sunday.

The move followed an angry confrontation between Democratic Front members and NRP leaders Friday at party headquarters, a party press release said.

Suth Dina, one of the officials purged from the party, confirmed the ousters but argued the central committee had no grounds to remove the officials, as they were members responsible for creating the NRP.

"The decision was not valid. [NRP leaders] have no standing to remove officials who built the party in the first place. These [17] officials were members of the Khmer Front Party, which created the NRP for the sake of Prince Norodom Ranariddh," Suth Dina said.

He called the ousters revenge in response to efforts by the Democratic Front to remove three NRP leaders - Chhim Seak Leng, You Hockry and Sao Ranny - from power Friday.

"These leaders came to the party as assistants to Samdech Krom Preah. So, after his resignation from the party, they must go, too," Suth Dina said, referring to Prince Norodom Ranariddh.

No NRP leaders were available for comment Sunday, but a press release issued Friday stated that members of the Democratic Front "provoked turmoil" at party headquarters in Phnom Penh's Tuol Kork district.

"They destroyed NRP property and private property. Moreover, [they] erased the NRP logo and replaced it with the Khmer Front Party," the release stated.

It added: "The NRP would like to appeal to all levels of party leadership to strengthen the party's stand and not to be duped by propaganda from the Khmer Front Party."

Meanwhile, Prince Ranariddh issued a statement Saturday urging NRP leaders not to use his name or likeness for the party, despite requests to continue the connection through council elections scheduled for May.

Editor Appeals to Plaintiff to Drop Defamation Suit

Chun Sakada, VOA Khmer
Original report from Phnom Penh
25 July 2007

The editor of an opposition newspaper appealed to a Norodom Ranariddh Party official Wednesday to drop defamation charges against him in exchange for a published clarification.

Thach Ket, editor of Sralanh Khmer, which favors the Sam Rainsy Party, said he thought the suit filed against him by Sao Rany was perhaps proper, but that he would publish a clarification if it would prevent the lawsuit.

Sao Rany claims a Sralanh Khmer story defamed his daughter.

"I think Sao Rany's complaint is proper," Thach Ket said. "His complaint is about defamation, and it involves him, his daughter and his family. I appeal for him for a clarification, and I will publish this clarification to stop the suit."

Sao Rany declined comment, but his lawyer, Liv Sovanna said the defendant must write a letter to the plaintiff signaling his intent.

Thach Ket must "clarify that he acknowledges he is willing to talk," Liv Sovanna said. "He admits he might have made a mistake in his profession. Whatever he wants me to do, he should write to me about it."

NRP Sao Rany sues Sralanh Khmer

Wednesday, July 18, 2007
Everyday.com.kh
Translated from Khmer by Socheata

Sao Rany, NRP deputy secretary-general, sent a complaint to the Phnom Penh municipal court suing Sralanh Khmer newspaper (SLK) for defamation after SLK published an article titled “Sao Rany’s daughter warned Samdech Krom Preah (Ranariddh) that if he does not listen to Papa (Sao Rany), she will reveal their secret love affair.” The article dated 17 July sent Sao Rany into a rage and he immediately sent a complaint to the court. Sao Rany told the Kampuchea Thmei newspaper that he does not want to sue a reporter, however he can’t take it anymore because SLK published this issue again and again with the aim of defaming his family. He said that even if he is a politician, he never considers any reporter as his enemy, even if these newspapers published political articles cursing him, however, he said the SLK article is envious of his personal family. Sao Rany said that he told his lawyer to send the complaint to the court and he does not want any monetary compensation or apologies, he said that this decision should be made by judges who will provide justice.
