Mao Monyvan’s allegation that SRP’s leaders are like the Khmer Rouge is too extreme. Regardless, whether you like Sam Rainsy and SRP or not, they are not Khmer Rouge nor like the Khmer Rouge.
Politicians ought to tone down their rhetorical statements and be informative or enlightening instead of being enrage with verbal abuses.
HRP’s leaders and the so-called special event’s creators should also have better moral values in conducting such an event which could be harmful to future relations between the non-CPP political parties, if they are serious about gaining additional seats in the National Assembly.
However, from the very beginning HRP has been speculated that it was created to split Sam Rainsy’s Party and some reliable sources pointed that its President was given financial supports and a green light by Premier Hun Sen to help created the Party. Such allegations have never been proven but they have never been clarified. Actions by HRP speak the truth.
With regards to which parties is more democratic the people ought to know by now that the answer is none. Such a self-serving maneuver or accusations are used to demonize the previous party to cover up the real internal or personal problems one does have. The structures of the party may say that it is “true” democratic, but the application is not---the money, the fame, the “not what you know, but who you know” are the key factors.
Cambodian voters are much smarter now and so are political supporters. Politicians may dupe them twice, but the third time it won’t happen. What they are looking for is not [the hearing of] empty promises, but something that they can see, smell and touch. Right now what they see are the politicians jumping ship, what they smell is nepotism and dishonesty, what they can touch is not here—the money.
It is unfortunate that the only party with plenty of money now is not one of the oppositions.
Kem Sokha (L) shook hand with Sam Rainsy during a talk to form a Democratic Movement of Change on 15th January, 2009.
The Unity that is stil in the clouds.
