King's visit to Vietnam will prevail negative to Cambodia

Pay a visit to a state stages on two different perspectives: a tribute and a bilateral talk. But how King and other Cambodian leaders can pursue a bilateral talk if Cambodian counterpart has no collateral such as business investors or other essential contingents in Vietnam. If Cambodia cannot pursue that perspective like Vietnam has retained in Cambodia, all Cambodian's leader visits to Vietnam is just a tribute to supplement the prowess of Vietnam's hegemony over Cambodia as well as to totalizing an absolute installed government.

Op-Ed: Khmer Young

King's visit to Viet shows two magnificent things: the prowess that King can use to confront the Viet, and the prostration and gratitude the King will tribute to the Viet.

Each of them has its cause and effect.

But in accordance to the letter from the so-called Office of the Monarchy as well as the leaning down towards Viet of Hun Sen government on behalf of the propaganda of maintaining friendship, comprehensive development, mutual understanding and lasting cooperation; the King will ultimately pay homage and gratitude to Viet leaders like recent visit of Leng Peng Long of Khmer NA as well as many other government leaders and dignitaries.

So, you wish to hear the good result after the King's visit? I am disappointed since the preparation of this visit. It is just a visit to a dominate state which all incumbent Khmer leaders have to maintain this tradition. You can count all those leaders numbering from Prime Minister Hun Sen, to Mam Som Orn of ministers cabinet, ministers of each ministries, assembly representatives, and many other incumbent dignitaries etc are aimed to bow down Viet's leaders in the prospect of tightening cooperation propaganda. After the current King Sihamuni's visit, former King Norodom Sihanouk will fully help this cooperation propaganda achievable.

The author of this article elegantly and wisely elaborated all aspects of the Monarchy's failure under the King Sihanouk enthronement. Reflecting from the bas-relief of Bayon and Angkor Wat to the present appearance of the King, we can perceive the gradual fading away of the Khmer Monarchy, its fame and institute.

Who has eliminated the Khmer monarchy? No one, but the King themselves; and King Sihanouk has to take accountable to this frailty.

How about the possible prowess that King Sihanouk should utilize to bargain with the Viet's leaders during his visit?

- First, Min Triet is the Viet's leader from the south, it is possible that the South and the King as well as the South and the US, still have common sympathy to each other. Recent reports have frequently affirmed the differences of the South and the North in handling with the influence of China. It confirmed about the possible strife of these two brothers. So how King Sihanouk can see the differences and utilize it wisely?

- King Sihanouk is a good friend of China's leaders. Will the King be able to utilize this prowess to bargain with the Viet's leaders? The King has to grasp his potential power to sit face to face with the Viet's leaders, not to act as an installed government messenger.

All these two are important for the King visit.

But if the King visit to Vietnam this coming week just an informal and personal visit like claimed, it is a frail of the King and the Monarchy Institute that have never realized the bad intention of the Viet's leaders hidden behind the word "friend", "cooperation" or "comprehensive development" etc.

Pay a visit to a state stages on two different perspectives: a tribute and a bilateral talk. But how King and other Cambodian leaders can pursue a bilateral talk if Cambodian counterpart has no collateral such as business investors or other essential contingents in Vietnam. If Cambodia cannot pursue that perspective like Vietnam has retained in Cambodia, all Cambodian's leader visits to Vietnam is just a tribute to supplement the prowess of Vietnam's hegemony over Cambodia as well as to totalizing an absolute installed government.

I am appreciate with Neary Krud for her open-minded and scholarly essay.

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.

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.”
