spottagus from lowell, ma (USA) :

Political is not something that is measurable 100 percent which most leaders have a backup plans that can execute dynamically. However, the most important thing is an objective goals that the people want to benefit. The promising journey to meet the core goal is branched out to various routes just like you drive a car to your destination or you use google map to guide you, or when you play chess that you have to make a move. Political is the same thing. If leader has only static plan (one plan that use again and again), not a smart choice and dumb as hell. If you believe in leader that you elected, you have to put trust in him. Let him do all the steering/navigation. Difficult task is not success in short time. Just like when you go to college. Some time the test is so easy and some time is hot, but at the end you accomplish. So, give him a space and let him do first and you can judge him later. Here is a case scenario. In 2017, national election start and there are 5 party as below:
1. CPP
2. CNRP
3. Funcipec
4. LDP
5. Dr. Kem Ley party

If you must vote because you don't want to see our country to fall into Vietnam, which number you select? Note: If you don't vote because you don't trust anymore, who will benefit? Of course, CPP will have an edge over other party. So, if anyone don't care about saving the country from the deadly cliff, then let CPP and their headmaster take over. Then, it will be worst than sorry.

CHY SOKNA from Phnom Penh :

It's not serious that Sam Rainsy try to accuse some of smaller parties were established by CPP.Sam Rainsy himself broke promise that he vowed in front Angkor Wat that he would not be parliamentarian but as a result he broke this promise and change story that he never spoke like that, away from responsibility from what he spoke. This opposition leader was scared of losing its high position. He declared that he would not accept the result of the national election, adding that he would demonstrate all days but now he changed story that he stop demonstrating. He tried to play trick and hold his hands with CPP, and tried accused some parties of splitting him. Not because of the unit, but the truth he was afraid of getting high position. He dropped fault into CPP, with incitement of strike and push the protestors to be death; however, he declared he will stay with its supporters forever but in the urgency when the police cracked down the protestors, Sam Rainsy and Kim Sokha run for their life fast, left death and injured because these tyranny will take advantage from politics. If CPP cracked down, those bad treat will be showed to ICC, but the real no any ICC influenced over CPP, Sam Rainsy tried to tell a lie and deceived its supporters as mentioned above.

would china continue to pump money into an economy with sam rainsy as nominal head? obama, putin, hun sen are also nominal heads, so no slight intended. i'm just trying to draw awareness to the reality of the situation. if china isn't willing to continue to foot the bill for deforestation and casino development under a rainsy administration -- then the vote is irrelevant. hard facts.

I used to respect Kem Ley, but after his comment on RFA interview with Chun Chanbot, I lost all respect for him because he is a hypocrite and a liar. When Mr Chanbot asked him if he was forming a new party, he said "no" then after Chun Chanbot presses him, he said this new party was created to informing voters. I think CNRP did a really good job informing people already it didn't need another party to confuse people. CNRP already has strong grass root base to take on CPP. Mr. Kem Ley is becoming a distraction. And this maybe what the CPP want.

Don't be fooled people, stick with CNRP which will de-thrown CPP in 2018. People can not allow CPP thief to continue past 2018.

Sam Rainy is in trouble! Hun Sen gets the support from the king and his former co-PM.

spottagus from Lowell,MA :

Why khmer yerng falling apart is because we are not truly knowing ourselves, distrust our friends and leader, bury hatred in feeling, and look down at other. If we are continuing to have these characteristics, we will open the gateway to let evil uses our friends and love one to expel us. Therefore, our envision will not reach the path of our journey for justice and freedom. I am 100 percent disagree with Dr. Kem Lay who is trying to form another party. I don't know if someone behind him or not, but what he is doing is totally unacceptable as a scholar. The system in our country is not yet met the standard where people can form many new parties to against with CPP because the foundation that they had setup is so strong that has so many eyes and ears, CIA, or spy that monitoring every moves we make. However, if we are combining as one big-big party and know our enemy, then we will win for sure. If you still want to form a new party, the CPP will be happy to see CNRP lose and the CPP continues to rule and our cambodian people will be struggling to make a better living.

spottagus from Lowell,MA :

It is true that to win CPP, all beloved cambodian must be united as one form just like a one big rock of thousand years. If we are breaking a big rock into small pieces, then it will lose power which mean that CPP just easily uses small hammer to smash those rocks into white ashes. If we retain that big rock, it is hard for CPP to use small or big hammer to break it because our trust, unity, and strength are binding into one form which we will prevail of all evil. I am fine with having multiple parties, but not at this time when we are trying to get rid of this evil that have been sucking blood of an innocent people for 30 years. If the system in our country is clean an acceptable of all party, then we can create a new party. If the system is corrupted and we are lack of resources, skills, media, and justice, we just can't form many small parties when we know our one goal is to win CPP so we can restore our country. Believe me and know the system more to win an evil.
