Progressive debate on PM limiting proposal

The PM limit issue is significantly debating in a progressive way for current Cambodian politicians. Now Cambodia has experienced full peace that the world's trend can help assure stability in Cambodia; and one term limit for PM is not seriously affecting national stability.

Crucially, both Hun Sen and Sam Rainsy must come to a compromising point in order to find solution and prioritize on nation's interests.

Hun Sen has to soften his rude attitude in order to think about creating new vision for Cambodian younger generation by limiting PM to two terms mandate, if he is not agreeing with one term proposal of Sam Rainsy.

One term, two terms or three terms is significantly beneficial and intellectual proposal for Cambodian politics both present and future. It is better than and far beyond the arrogant idea of PM candidate that can be lasting if he is still popular and supported by members or people.

For current political system in Cambodia including the lacking of learned citizens; Hun Sen can stay in power 100 years if he can live another 128 years (according his speech that come to power since he was 28). This is really true because voting in Cambodia is boring through NEC's mechanism, Cambodian people mostly are illiteracy, democratic parties are still divisive, corruption in election with vote-buying is traditionally practiced, culture of impunity is no ended(no justice in front of law), and fearful environment is being frequently used by current PM.

But why we need to mandate/limit political PM because we can benefit as follow:
- Give opportunity to our younger generation
- To cut off the vein of corruption
- To develop democracy, good governance, decentralization, transparency and respect of human rights.
- To stop the culture of favoritism, cronism and family tree.
- To obey the national laws fully.
- To create check and balance in the nation in three institutions: Parliament, Executive and Judiciary.
- To obtain long term peace, prosperity and sustainable development.

A Tale of "A Strongman in a Weak State"

1. Unable to protect the weak, the poor, the destitute, the farmers and the indigenous people from being bullied by the powerful people and the elites.
2. Unable to protect the chapters inscribed in the National Constitution, people are perpetually jeopardized by the powerful political rhetoric, and the assembly is using major voice to silence the minor voice.
3. The election has not produced any fair and productive result, though the powerful can hide all the complicate procedures of election, but the powerful cannot hide the outcome of the election. The CPP received only around 50.3% of all valid votes (6 millions) but CPP can grab 90 seats or almost 90% of the parliamentary seats (123). The outcome of this election is unrealistic of both winner and loser.
4. Cambodia is a weak state because this country is led by a patrimonial system, favoritism, cronyism and family kleptocracy, not by the rule of laws...from Hun Sen to Sok An and others are running over their contenders' toes inside CPP irresponsibly. This patrimonial system will finally end up with internal conflict that can inflict Cambodian people in the whole nation.
5. Cambodia is moving towards self-destruction because of the unrealizing of Ho's Dream of Real Estate Business in Cambodia: trying to demarcate the border with border-pole installation but disguise their strategy via planting Vietnamese population in Cambodia as their special agent and eternalizing friendship with their former subordinate, the CPP.

Quotable Quote:

Boon of Liberal Citizens

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. by Ben Franklin

The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people. by Civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.

Without liberty, law loses its nature and its name, and becomes oppression. Without law, liberty also loses its nature and its name, and becomes licentiousness. by Harvard University professor James Q. Wilson

First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out -- because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the communists and I did not speak out -- because I was not a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out --because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak out for me. by Former German naval officer and victim of the Nazis, Martin Niemöller

THREE LEADERS AND THREE WISHES

Three leaders, one Siam, one Viet, and one Khmer, come across a lamp and a genie pops out of it.

“I will grant you each one wish; that’s three wishes in total,” says the genie.

The Khmer leader thinks for a while, and says, “I want a wall around Cambodia to protect it for all eternity from those with less than good intentions.” So with a blink of the genie’s eye, WHOOSH, there is a huge wall around Cambodia.

The Viet leader is amazed, and asks, “I am curious about this wall. Please tell me more about it.”

The genie proudly explains, “Well, it is 50 metres high, 20 metres thick protecting Cambodia so that nothing can get in or out without permission.”

The Viet leader says, “Ah, it is getting tough. My uncle Ho always wants to expand the real estate. So my wish is to have Khmer leaders as our gofers for all eternity.”

Again, with the blink of the genie’s eye, the Khmer leader bows and invites the Vietnamese leader in.

The Siam leader says, “Fill the wall up with water.”
