The political games of CPP in easing out Vietnamization

IRI has already confirmed about the people's frustration in their survey regarding border demarcation and border-line complicate agreement with Vietnam in 2005. CPP has tried their best to console the spirit and soul of Cambodian people not to frustrate about the irregularity of border demarcation with Vietnam, but CPP has experienced hard time to hide this large dead elephant with such a small basket

Op-Ed: Khmer Young

It seems like Hun Sen is so nationalistic in his mission to visit Preah Vihear and border land with Thailand. His performance is in a right time, right place and right propaganda. While Cambodian people are turning 90 degree of their eyes to the East, Hun Sen, Hor Namhong and their actors are drawing attention at the West. Hor Namhong and Hun Sen have taken turn to visit Preah Vihear because they both realized that Sam Rainsy shot in the right spot of border encroachment by Vietnam at the East. IRI has already confirmed about the people's frustration in their survey regarding border demarcation and border-line complicate agreement with Vietnam in 2005. CPP has tried their best to console the spirit and soul of Cambodian people not to frustrate about the irregularity of border demarcation with Vietnam, but CPP has experienced hard time to hide this large dead elephant with such a small basket.

Listening the respond of Hor Namhong with RFI today, he cruelly rebutted Sam Rainsy with slur language about his act in uprooting the border posts, but he dare not eleborate in detail the interest of the nation in protecting the border. He aggressively accused Sam Rainsy politically acted but Hor Namhong dare not describe the cause leading to this act of Sam Rainsy.

Of course, it is easy to understand. Because of 90 seats in the assembly of the CPP and the control every thing as well as consolidation power entirely, Sam Rainsy could not play as an eternal alibi, he has to do something to confront with this deadly planning of the CPP. CPP has absolutely cornered all dissents, critics and the oppositions.

However, we do accept that, the act of Sam Rainsy occured without having a proper plan. He seems acted it right the way via his instinct without weighting the consequences.

But it is still not worse because the farmers have full rights to uproot any markers inside their land. In the meantime, the markers did put by Vietnames authority without having consensus by Cambodia counterpart. But after Sam Rainsy uprooted the posts numbered 185, Vietnam subsequently uprooted another 3 posts, according to the local villagers who supported the SRP. The reaction of the government to try Sam Rainsy, Prak Chea and Meas Srey is very bad for Cambodia history. Why it is so bad? Because no page of Cambodian history that Cambodian people have been jailed by their own government because of their bravery to protect their territory land.

Let pray for the CPP, Hun Sen and Hor Namhong whose mission to the West and Preah Vihear can change the mind of Cambodian people from frustrating to the East, and the trial of 3 Cambodian nationalists who stand up to protect their land at the East.

Suggesting that yuon is a racist word incites racial hatred

Indeed, the word yuon is a Cambodian word to refer to Vietnamese (English), Vietnamien (french), Voatnam (Chinese Chao Zhou), Yieknam (in Vietnamese language) or Yia Nam (Chinese mandarin). Therefore in each language, each nationality has their word to call something differently. Your media accusation to Mr Sam Rainsy is indeed very provocative and inciting of hate rather than helping to promote cultural diversity.

Op-Ed: Meng Ly

Dear Editor,

I am writing this email to you because of the accusation made by your media to Mr Sam Rainsy of racism for calling Vietnam as yuon. I would like to declare to you that I am not a supporter of the Sam Rainsy Party or a supporter of any group at all. My background is that I have a father of chinese origin and a mother who was half Cambodian and half Vietnamese. So I am a supporter of diversity and multicultural society.

Your media accusation to Mr Sam Rainsy is indeed very provocative and inciting of hate rather than helping to promote cultural diversity.

I call on you to make a public apology for making a wrong judgment and inciting hatred among Vietnamese citizens and Cambodian opposition party members.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

A good paper makes a bad decision about the meaning of yuon

Op-Ed: Patrick Chum

Dear Editor

I’ve been a loyal Phnom Penh Post reader for more than 10 years because of your ethics in news reporting. You care about our community and report news as is and unbiased.

In reference to the article “Sam Rainsy declares border victory” (February 2, 2010), I am very offended by Meas Sokchea’s description of the word yuon as a racist word.

Meas Sokchea should educate himself before saying such things. And you should read, then double check, for references before this slips to the printing room. We Khmers call the Vietnamese yuon freely.

For the record, yuon is never a racist word. Sir, I can prove it.

Anarchist of Cambodia

Op-Ed: Meng Ly

It is totally illegal for all government officials to take side with any political party and it is a crime for them takes side.

During this four election term, Mr Sam Rainsy has been elected as the country largest opposition party Leader. Therefore his status is the county No 3 Statesmen after the King, Prime Minister and Main opposition Leader.

His mandate is to protect Cambodia and Cambodian interest at all levels. His recent finding of illegal borders posters inside Cambodian territory has embarrassed Cambodian government leaders at all level. But instead of solving the problem with good manner, the Cambodian government of all levels from Court in Svay Rieng and government spokesperson has accused shamelessly Mr Sam Ransy for removing public property. Indeed this problem should be explained by Hun Sen through Parliament in a political way to prove that he is a matured person with 30 years of political experiences.

The failing to explain to the public by Hun Sen and allowed his associates to condemn Mr Sam Ransy action have proved that Cambodian leader has a log way to maturity.

The government spokesperson Phay Siphann is a public servant. He has no mandate to issue political view neither on behalf of CPP party nor for the ruling party. It is a conflict of interest for government officials to support one party and to condemn another party.

The appropriated person who can challenge Mr Sam Ransy is only the Prime Minister himself. It is very anarchic to allow court and other person than the prime Minister to challenge Mr Sam Ransy finding.

It is totally illegal for all government officials to take side with any political party and it is a crime for them takes side.

Bridging the poverty gap

Monday, 25 January 2010 15:01 Sophan Seng

The Phnom Penh Post

The Paris Peace Accord of 1991 brought Cambodia a measure of economic liberalisation and global connectivity that differed greatly from the cold war era and Pol Pot’s regime.

But actual progress is more elusive. Maskin says that wide poverty gaps eventually lead to social deterioration. As well, Gross has addressed the importance of providing more opportunities to the Kingdom’s youth. The government must provide greater incentives to attract youths to public service.

Dear Editor,

Photo by: Rick Valenzuela

Economist and Nobel laureate Eric S Maskin speaks with the Post at the Hotel Cambodiana last week.

I agree with Professor Eric Maskin, who says that Cambodia has been at risk from a growing gap between rich and poor (“Nobel laureate to push PM on school reform”, January 20).

An unbalanced distribution of the wealth of the nation has worried many scholars besides Maskin, including David Jonathan Gross, who is also a Nobel laureate.

Cambodia can be viewed from two perspectives: progressive by comparison and progressive in actuality. If we compare the Kingdom to the past, we can see that anti-colonialism, the Cold War and globalization have played a significant role in Cambodia’s recent history.

The era of Lon Nol and Pol Pot must be evaluated in light of global cold war politics and the opposition between communism and democracy. Cambodia had no peace during this period, and the intractable conflicts led to mass killings and foreign intervention.

Though the media have focused considerable attention on this part of the Kingdom’s history, qualitative and quantitative progress since that time has sometimes been overlooked.

The Paris Peace Accord of 1991 brought Cambodia a measure of economic liberalisation and global connectivity that differed greatly from the cold war era and Pol Pot’s regime.

But actual progress is more elusive. Maskin says that wide poverty gaps eventually lead to social deterioration. As well, Gross has addressed the importance of providing more opportunities to the Kingdom’s youth. The government must provide greater incentives to attract youths to public service.

Actual progress requires the good will of government leaders to develop genuine economic solutions for sustainability and a more just distribution of wealth; to promote democracy through a free and fair media; to safeguard the Kingdom’s natural resources and use them for the benefit of all Cambodians; to curb the mandate of power for top government leaders; to respect the Kingdom’s diverse ethnic minorities; to improve the quality of education and the opportunities for graduates entering the workforce.

The Last Phase of the Vietnamization of Cambodia, Unchallenged by the World Community

To: United States President, Barack Obama

Hun Sen and his CPP party are fully subservient to the Socialist Vietnamese authority and its long-term plan to bring Cambodia under the full control of SRV in realizing Ho Chi Minh’s dream of creating an Indochina Federation. The United States and all democratic countries in the world cannot close their eyes on this total aggression against Cambodia and her people. Cambodia would soon disappear from the map of the world as Champa, which used to be located in Central Vietnam, did only two and a half centuries ago.

April 23, 2009

The Honorable Barack Obama
President of the United States
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

Dear Mr. President:

On behalf of all the undersigned, consisting of Cambodian-Americans, Cambodians from countries abroad, namely: France, Canada, Australia, England, to name a few, Cambodian people who are living in Cambodia proper and more important, the indigenous Cambodian people living in southern Vietnam, known as Kampuchea Krom, I respectfully request your urgent intervention in investigating the persistent news regarding a concerted effort by the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (SRV) government to suppress the identity including religion, culture, and land holding of the Cambodian people both in Kampuchea Krom and in Cambodia proper.

A glaring example of this centuries-old practice of genocide (defined by the 1948 Geneva Convention on Genocide; attachment No.2) committed by SRV against the Khmer Krom people can be seen through the Vietnamese government’s intentional under-recorded number of the Khmer-Krom population in Vietnam. While most international NGO’s report between 7 to 11 million Khmer-Krom minorities living in Vietnam, the Vietnamese government official record disclosed only 900,000. We request your assistance in demanding the Government of the SRV to provide official clarification of the large discrepancy in these census numbers. The large discrepancy between these two numbers of the estimated population of the Khmer Krom implies the suppression of the identity of these Khmer Krom people, which in turn, infers the gross violation of human rights or even a genocide act.

In Vietnam, Khmer Krom people are constantly harassed and persecuted spiritually, mentally, and physically and are forced to endure all kinds of abuses by the Vietnamese authorities as described by Representative Christopher Smith (and co-sponsored by your Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel) in the Vietnam Human Rights Act of 2007 (HR 3096 rfs) and by the report of a German Human Rights Advocate, Rebecca Sommer (please see the attached video clip titled, “Eliminated Without Bleeding” attachment No.3a; Huffington Post: “Khmer Krom in Southern Vietnam Face Oppression from Hanoi Regime”, attachment No.3b). These atrocities committed by the SRV against the Khmer Krom people are so overwhelming in South Vietnam that more and more of the people are forced to flee their ancestral land in Vietnam and move to Cambodia or Thailand. Unfortunately, while the government of Hun Sen prohibits Khmer Krom access to Cambodia and persecutes those found, it openly accommodates all illegal Vietnamese immigrants into the country. Ambassador K.L. Bindra, a former Chairman and Secretary General (1964-67) of the International Commission for Supervision and Control (ICSC), found over 4.5 million Vietnamese immigrants in Cambodia in 2005 (attachment No.6).

In Cambodia, Khmer Krom people who fled Vietnam usually faced harassments, forced and arbitrary deportation back to Vietnam, or severe punishment including execution depending on how outspoken or active they are in exposing the constant wholesale mistreatment taken by the SRV government against their compatriots. Many end up as destitute refugees and in precarious conditions in Thailand.

Recently, local NGOs and international NGOs like Human Right Watch, under the leadership of Mr. Brad Adams, and the European Union (EU) report on the genocide committed by the SRV government against the Khmer Krom people. Mr. Brad Adams gave a detailed account on all the atrocities and urged the world community to take strong measures against the SRV government to stop persecuting the Khmer Krom people. The European Union attempted to send a delegation to visit the region in South Vietnam where these criminal activities have been reported to take place only to be refused entry into Vietnam without any explanations.

Another glaring example of the abuse of power by the SRV government through Hun Sen government is the case of Venerable Tim Sakhorn, an outspoken Khmer Krom monk who disappeared in Phnom Penh in 2007, with some reports stating that he was crammed into a Toyota by unidentified assailants. He resurfaced in Vietnam, was charged with violating national unity, using the 1979 so-called Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Cooperation (drawn under duress when Vietnam invaded Cambodia in 1978). The Vietnamese government illegally put him under house arrest in Vietnam for nearly two years, stripped off his Cambodian identity and made him a Vietnamese again. Only under the pressure from the EU, is he now allowed to temporary return to visit his family in Cambodia, under a Vietnamese passport with a visa that is only valid until April 17, 2009. “I want to stay with my father and my brother in my home town and farm the land,” he said during his interview. However, the latest news on April 14, 2009 indicate that Ven. Tim Sakhorn, with his life in jeopardy, fled to Thailand where he seeks refugee status to escape from being eliminated by the government of Cambodia, by request of Vietnam, in his own country.

Country representative of the UN’s Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Christophe Peschoux, maintains that, “Being a Cambodian national, Tim Sakhorn should be able to remain in Cambodia if he wishes so, and his citizen’s right and safety should be protected by the Royal government.”

The Ven. Tim Sakhorn is Cambodian, born in 1968 at Swai-Ton (Tri Ton) district, Moth-Chrouk (Chau Doc) province, in Kampuchea Krom (South Vietnam). His family could not stand the oppression of the Vietnamese government, so in 1979 they escaped their lovely ancestral homeland to Phnom-Den village, Karivong district, Takeo province, Cambodia where they remained since. He was a full Cambodian citizen by the time he was kidnapped, defrocked, and secretly deported to Vietnam. His deportation to Vietnam was qualified by the OHCHR as a “prima facie violation.”

Mr. Brad Adams, Asia director of Human Rights Watch, described “Ven. Tim Sakhorn’s condition in Vietnam in the past year as one of ‘illegal house arrest’ and the Cambodian government should abide by the [1951 UN] Refugee Convention by not deporting people to countries where they have a well-founded fear of persecution.” Furthermore, Mr. Adams asserted “Cambodian government – and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees – should provide protection to Khmer Krom fleeing persecution in Vietnam, allowing them to seek asylum in Cambodia if they want.”

The arrest of Tim Sakhorn illustrates on the whole that Vietnam will not tolerate any protest by Cambodia, however benign it may be. Vietnam uses its carefully crafted 1979 Treaty of Peace, Friendship, and Cooperation as a powerful weapon to suppress and eliminate opposition. More precisely and dangerously, Vietnam unilaterally reserves the right to intervene militarily by invading Cambodia, again, should Hun Sen’s absolute rule be under any real threat of being toppled by the opposition. Ironically, one can also infer that Hun Sen will allow the opposition to be operating, so long as the opposition is not operationally effective. It is a showcase that allows Hun Sen to claim that he is in favor of democracy by allowing opposition parties to operate within the parliamentary system, under Hun Sen’s full control.

Hun Sen and his CPP party are fully subservient to the Socialist Vietnamese authority and its long-term plan to bring Cambodia under the full control of SRV in realizing Ho Chi Minh’s dream of creating an Indochina Federation. The United States and all democratic countries in the world cannot close their eyes on this total aggression against Cambodia and her people. Cambodia would soon disappear from the map of the world as Champa, which used to be located in Central Vietnam, did only two and a half centuries ago.

A sense of urgency (if consciousness and democratic principles alone are not sufficient motivation) is needed for the free world to intervene on behalf of all innocent and oppressed people of Cambodia. A powerful testimony of a Cambodian nation spiraling into its final phase of destruction at the hands of its own government is given by an impartial intellectual witness Joel Brinkley, a former Foreign Affairs Correspondent for The New York Times and a Professor of Journalism at Stanford University. His research is captured in the March/April 2009 issue of Foreign Affairs, an article entitled “Cambodia’s Curse: Struggling to Shed the Khmer Rouge’s Legacy”. More than one-third of the country lives on less than $1 a day; the corrupt government is kicking people out into the street, torching their homes, seizing their land, stealing money (between $300 to $500 million stolen a year) intended for aid programs for the poor given by NGOs and major donors – all these things and more while Hun Sen is building himself yet another mansion with a heliport on the roof. We want to emphasize that these things are happening in present time, and represent a pattern of corruption that follows the historical accounts which we have included in this petition to understand the background (please see attachment No.1).

The ultimate purpose of our petition is to ask you, Mr. President, to investigate these reports and verify whether the information from these reports represent a true and accurate situation of the several million of Khmer Krom people who are now -- in the words of Rebecca Sommer, a German human rights advocate, -- being “Eliminated without Bleeding” by the SRV. If it is a correct and true reporting of the plight of the Khmer Krom by the SRV government, we respectfully request that you would kindly make all efforts to intervene to stop not only the Vietnamese from committing atrocities, but also to ask the Hun Sen government to stop committing all these crimes to serve the interests of Vietnam and to the detriment of Cambodia and her people. Finally, we would like to see your administration exert pressure on the Cambodian government under Hun Sen to allow all Khmer Krom from South Vietnam to enter Cambodia freely as Cambodian citizens.

Sincerely,
(The Undersigned)

Cambodia needs clear policy on immigrants

Dear Editor,
Op-Ed: Soprach Tong

Viewer comment: of course Hun Sen, Heng Samrin and Chhea Sim including their patrons are knowing nothing about the bright future of Cambodia. They are leading the country to the dark future, not the bright future. Those leaders and some followers are blindly boasting about current progressive of materials which has advanced beyond Khmer Rouge regime. But these leaders and their patrons are leading to destroy the national institutions of Cambodia. Without having a strong institutions, Cambodia is like a house without foundation. Vietnam has planned 20, 50 and 100 years to eliminate Cambodia. It is called "eliminate without bleeding". This tactic is to amputate Cambodia's main national institutions. Now, Cambodia's Nation, Buddhism and Monarchy have been twisted and manipulated by the CPP disguising under the rigid plans of Vietnam. Immigration is part of those tactics to manipulate Hun Sen's blind eyes. Cambodians will become Vietnamese when Cambodian people cannot say anything about its border under the border ongoing demarcation (as evidence Cambodian farmers at the border are arrested and jeopardized). Election will produce nothing for Cambodia, but for Vietnam while major aggressive voters are Vietnamese, CPP needs power next 100 years, NEC is not neutral and partial, Vietnam's development in Cambodia is a long plan to absorb this country etc. Today, I came across a speech by one of the Khmer elders said that "Khmer Rouge eliminated their own people but strongly protected territorial land. Current regime, the government has given up their land to Vietnam but keep lives of the people a under maltreatment". So between Khmer Rouge and Hun Sen government, which regime is better? Saying this, Hun Sen and his followers will respond to us that they don't see Vietnamese carried any Khmer land out to Vietnam. CPP's response has always sarcastic like what sVar Kimhong has recently manipulated about the border demarcation with Vietnam at the national assembly. Only one question is that sVar Kimhong has never been to the border, if he went their he will take or see the pictures like Son Chhay showed in the letter. What is the future of Cambodia?

I write in response to the article “Vietnam repatriates Cambodian beggars” (December 23). I was ashamed to hear that nearly 900 illegal Cambodian beggars were repatriated by Vietnamese authorities this year, as well as the recent deportation of illegal Cambodian workers sent back through the border by Thai authorities, several of whom were killed while passing through the forest on the Cambodian-Thai border.

However, there have been no strong reactions against the Thai shootings of these people, just warnings for the migrants not to emigrate to Thailand, forgetting that a poor standard of living forced these people to leave home and cross the border illegally in the first place.

In general, the government always declares Cambodia is run by a “government of economic growth”. But this slogan should be questioned: What does it mean that the Cambodian economy does not have enough capacity to create work for domestic labourers? On the other hand, during the recent tensions between Cambodia and Thailand, we heard information about hundreds of Cambodian returnees who were being turned back every day.

Then, the Cambodian authorities quickly deported the ethnic Uighur refugees, who were seeking political asylum, back to China last Saturday. But in the case of other illegal foreign immigrants living and gaining job opportunities in the Kingdom, the government does not take measures against them as actively as Vietnam and Thailand.

From my point of view, I think that this slow reaction against illegal immigrants is maybe due to the fact that the Cambodian economy has not yet produced enough work for the local labour force, and that perhaps Cambodia does not have the necessary immigration laws to control who enters its territory.

Therefore, we would very much appreciate if the National Assembly was to review and pass important draft laws on immigration to deal with domestic labour and manage the population in order to alleviate poverty in Cambodia.

Comment from our reader: CHINA and the USA do not now how to rescue Cambodia from Vietnamese jaws?

CHINA WAS THE MAIN SUPPORTER OF KHMER ROUGE who is their clients now charging as genocide. Whereas the Vietnamese clients such as Hun Sen, Chea Sim, Heng Samrin, Hor Nam Hoang, Keat Chhon, Sam Kar, Sar Kheng, Men Sam An and much more who also GENOCIDED millions of Khmers are laughing at CHINA, USA, UN, EU, ECCC all the way to their own individual’s banks.

Op-Ed: Kulen Monorom

In relation to Cambodia, CHINA is Zero achievement, every time Chinese start to move their men or policies to influence Cambodia, the Vietcong/NVA punch in the Chinese nose first all the times.

Now the ECCC in Cambodia is indirectly control by Vietnamese government through their puppet Mr. Hun Sen/CPP government. The ECCC is charging former CHINA clients Mr. Khieu Samphan, Mr. Nuon Chea, Mr. Ieng Sary and his wife Mrs. Ieng Thirith as GENOCIDE crimes against the ethnic Vietnamese and the Cham in Cambodia. What is CHINA GOING TO DO ABOUT THAT?

BESIDE BRING MORE MONEY TO BUY Mr. Hun Sen/CPP government and perhaps to robe the whole of Cambodia through land development, ripping for Vietnam to take over again and again CHINA can not do anything to save Cambodia from Vietnam colonization.

CHINA WAS THE MAIN SUPPORTER OF KHMER ROUGE who is their clients now charging as genocide. Whereas the Vietnamese clients such as Hun Sen, Chea Sim, Heng Samrin, Hor Nam Hoang, Keat Chhon, Sam Kar, Sar Kheng, Men Sam An and much more who also GENOCIDED millions of Khmers are laughing at CHINA, USA, UN, EU, ECCC all the way to their own individual’s banks.

At this stage USA do not want to save Cambodia from Vietnam swallowing, so what CHINA must do is to wake up quickly by allying themselves with USA the same way as Mr. Deng Xao Ping did with Mr. Ronald Reagan in 1980’s and rearmed the ex- Khmer Rouge soldiers again to save Cambodia from extinction.

The condition must be attached onto those ex-Khmer Rouge troops, that those troops must be control and lead by ex-anti Vietnamese guerrilla’s leaders similar to the recipient of American Silver Cross Medal, Major Sergeant SARUN SAR of the American Special Force and many more of that types are waiting around the world and inside Cambodia to bring Vietnam and Hun Sen/CPP government to respect the 23rd October 1991 Paris Peace Agreement once more time.

Vietnamese government through their puppet HUN SEN had cheated the CHINESE GOVERNMENT, the UNTAC, the USA administrative and the whole Khmer Rouge organization by urging the Khmer Rouge to lay down their arm before 1993 and now control them like slave and master.

Now a day what CHINA hoping is to buy out HUN SEN and the whole CPP government with their money, so CHINA can have influence in Cambodia.

Vietnamese will not let HUN SEN go off their hooks so easily like CHINA wanted, if HUN SEN do want to escape from Vietnamese jaws, he will receive the same fate as his in-law former police crook-murderer Gen. HOK LUNDY.

Vietnam only allow Hun Sen as a bait to attract investment funds from China, so Vietnam who is Hun Sen master, can spare their own fund to buy 6 Sub-Marines and 12 Russian Airplanes to defeat CHINA once more time like in February 1979 from future China attack.

Vietnam at this moment will never let Chinese put a hand on Cambodia cake again, for inside Cambodia they had 100,000 NVA plus 5 million of Vietnamese illegal immigrants, and for augment sake who know how many Vietnamese militia in disguise among those 5 million illegal Vietnamese in Cambodia?

Therefore, the USA and the CHINA were manipulated by Vietnamese government again and again until they took all the South East Asian markets. Recently they took Laos, Cambodia and perhaps Thailand soon when the opportunity arises.

Vietnam smartly took Laos, Cambodia from CHINA and from the USA, and CHINA never dares to challenge Vietnam for CHINA and USA are always incapable to defeat Vietnamese hypocrisy in war or in politics, so CHINA and USA have no choice, but to unite like in 1980’s to stop Vietnam from swallowing Cambodia and to stop Vietnam expansionist strategy toward Thailand too.

CHINA CAN NOT BUY VIETNAMESE OR HUN SEN/CPP GOVERNMENT OUTRIGHT. CHINA and USA ARE THE LOOSERS TO VIETNAMESE COMMUNIST’S GOVERNMENT WITHOUT KNOWING IT, WHAT IS A SHAME!!!

We, Cambodians have to work as "agent of change"

Political Analysis:

Worse than that, many spokesperson of CPP accused Sam Rainsy as "destabilize the nation", "destroy public property" or "destroy Cambodia-Vietnam friendship" etc. As a younger Cambodian, I don't see any of those accuses are beneficial to Cambodian nation. It is showing only dirty politics, disadvantageous politics and exacerbating existing hostility among Cambodian citizens. I would like to appeal the government of Cambodia to consider again at its utmost ability to stop this kind of "division politics and creating hostility among Cambodian citizens".

As a responsible citizen, many scholars reiterated that "ask yourself what can you do for your nation, not to ask nation to do something for you". Naturally, human beings have been embedded by place-based attachment, or it is called "homeland" or "motherland". For all Cambodians who were born in Cambodia, though they have experienced poverty, civil war or ongoing mistreatment from the current pseudo-democratic administration, Cambodian people both inside and outside the country have never forgotten their "motherland".

Citizen role is to play as the "agent of change". Dr. Peang-meth asserted that "we cannot stop change" but "we can make change". It is common sense that change will harm us if we don't stand up to make change. Cambodia is in need to have "citizen participation" to make "such a positive change". In this moment, I would like to congratulate those who participated in demonstration in both Washingto DC. and Ottawa to express your concern regarding deterioration of democratic management in Cambodia, particularly the "lifting of Sam Rainsy's parliamentarian immunity because of his mission and duty to work for his people and the nation". Of course, Sam Rainsy just expressed concern to the loss and worry of farmers in border area of Cambodia-Vietnam, but why major representatives of CPP have to quickly lift Sam Rainsy's immunity in order to try him? American representatives said that "there are no glue of serious criminal action committed by Sam Rainsy to be lifted and tried by Cambodian government". Further more, the excuse of strengthening the "rule of law" by the government is not relevant because Sam Rainsy's act is not criminal and he is working for the collective interest of the nation.

How the situation could be solved while Sam Rainsy worked to protect Cambodian interests, the majority of CPP in assembly voted to lift his immunity in order try him? Is this political activity worthwise to Cambodian nation? Does Cambodian motherland reserve any benefit from this proceeding?

Worse than that, many spokesperson of CPP accused Sam Rainsy as "destabilize the nation", "destroy public property" or "destroy Cambodia-Vietnam friendship" etc. As a younger Cambodian, I don't see any of those accuses are beneficial to Cambodian nation. It is showing only dirty politics, disadvantageous politics and exacerbating existing hostility among Cambodian citizens. I would like to appeal the government of Cambodia to consider again at its utmost ability to stop this kind of "division politics and creating hostility among Cambodian citizens".

Any political party has to realize that "playing dirty and division politics" will not benefit anything but heading to self-destruction. We have to run a politics that can maintain long term benefit for the nation. Current move of Hun Sen administration shows only hostility among those leaders and collective interests of the nation.

Let act now as the "agent of change" of the nation by filing complaints to your constituencies, joining demonstration, inform your close friends and relatives, express your opinion and actively participating with all political parties for the sake of our nation and people.

In Solidarity,

KY
