Sam Rainsy warned of a new revolution in Cambodia

Mr. Sam Rainsy, leader of the opposition Sam Rainsy Party, in a meeting with Khmer-Americans in Virginia on 24th February, has warned that an Arab-style revolution could erupt in Cambodia any time due to unemployment, corruption and land crisis.

He said revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt and the current uprising in Libya have inspired the people around the world to view revolution as a necessary mean to change the dictatorial regimes. "Why the people in these countries have rebelled? What do they want? What causes the people to suffer these days? It is the same. First, it is poverty. When they said the country has developed, but developed for whom? For the powerful? For the millionaires to get richer? The people don't want these sorts of developments. They only want the developments that benefits the general population, especially the poor to be able to benefit from these developments. If the poor are still poor then there will definitely be protests....", he said.

Mr. Sam Rainsy, who was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment and was forced to live in exile for over a year for his role in uprooting six border stakes on the Khmer-Vietnamese border on 25th October 2009, said he supports the government's efforts to bring the Khmer-Thai border conflict to the international stage, but he does not support the Asean's mechanisms because Thailand still can exert tremendous influences over the Asean as a whole. He also said that he has no regret for his role in the uprooting of the six border stakes along the Khmer-Vietnamese border because Cambodia had really lost lands to Vietnam through the plantings of these border stakes. He said the reason the court sentenced him to jail term was because the government does not want to see his presence in the 2013 election. "The people who served the foreigners, the people who abused the people, have persecuted us. This means that what we have done was right. If the bad people supported us, helped us, said good about us, then it meant that we have done the wrong thing. If bad people said bad about us, persecuted us, then it meant that we have done the right thing. So, what we have to do next? We must not be afraid in helping the people to the end", he said.

Mr. Hun Sen has warned that he will use force to suppress any people power against him. "I'm warning you, If you can gather enough people (to cause a revolution), please come. What will happen if the prime minister will not lead (the troops) to defend the constitution and allowed other people to cause anarchy throughout the country?", he declared publicly last month.

Mike 2:49 PM and Mike at 3:48 PM, when will you stop your bitter attack on Sam Rainsy? You hate Sam Rainsy and turned to support the traitorous CPP and Hun Sen show that you have turned from a good democrat to become the worst supporter of a dictator and corrupt regime. Just come to your senses and stop talking nonsense. Forget about Rainsy and talk about national interests please.

N 'importe quel pays démocratique dans le Monde , possède toujours une partie d'opposition .
Quand on commence à cavaler seul comme l'époque de Sihanouk , la démocratie n'existe plus .
L'accusation de Sam Reangsy , à propos des histoires de poteaux à la frontière vietnaminne semble injuste : Je ne pense pas que les cultivateurs khmers à la frontière aillent planter le riz sur le sol vietnamien . Ses terres , que leurs ancêtres avaient laissé , se trouvent subitement l'autre côté de la frontière !
Pour moi , c'est bizarre tout de même !
Si on veut parler de la Démocrtie , on ne doit pas verrouiller , la Partie opposition !

Mr. Sam Rainsy hasn't learned anything from his political career so far. I wish he speak out more diplomatic way to secure his return to Cambodia and lead his party. He cannot do anything by only attacking the man in power. He should know that he become more and more isolated from the people. He has to change himself according to political environment. Even the UN envoy on human right has change the approach to deal with the government of Cambodia. Mr. Sam Rainsy should learn from Mr. Surya Subedi.
