Dear Prime Minister, it is time for you to resign. You have made too many empty promises and all of them have been broken. About ten years ago you promised to resign if you cannot eliminate illegal check points and highway robbery. Check points and highway robbery still existed everywhere but you did not resign. Then you promised to resign if you cannot stop illegal deforestation and illegal logging. Illegal logging still existed until today, even with your own involvement and blessing, but you did not resign. You have promised to fulfil a lot more but you did not resign when you cannot fulfil those promises.
And now you promise to resign again, if you cannot control the young hoodlums? You must be joking, Mr. Prime Minister. Your own nephew did the drag race, caused an accident and stopped to spray many bullets which killed 3 innocnet by-standers back in 2003. He was arrested and you used your influence to release him. A few weeks ago, Ung Vanna, a son of Gen. Ung Samkhan, chief of the navy, did a dangerous drag race in the middle of the busy city and threatened to shoot a TV reporter when he and his crews filmed him. Up until today Gen. Ung Samkhan is still chief of the navy. He was not fired.
Mr. Prime Minister, You have broken all your promises, so now it's time for you to keep your promises, that is the promise to resign.

Phnom Penh – Samdach Akkak Moha Sena Bat Dey Dek Cho Hun Sen, the prime minister of the kingdom of Cambodia, issued a renewed warning to the Phnom Penh city governor (Kep Chultema) saying that if he cannot rein in the kids who race motorcycles and cars (in the city street), he shouldn’t be a governor anymore… Hun Sen issued this warning in the afternoon of 07 November, during a conference to evaluate the education work and sports for the youth 2006-2007, and the setting of the goals for the school year 2007-2008 at the in the National Institute of Education.Hun Sen said: “Some kids have all the time they need, and they even have the money but they turn around and race cars and motorcycles instead, and in doing so they create unsafe problems in the past few days, such as the incident which occurred near the Chea Sim park next to the Hun Sen park, where police officers sometimes arrest these youngsters and call in their parents… To be safe, when the parents arrive, hold the parents there and report the case to me. Children of poor people are studying very hard because they have no car, no motorcycles to go anywhere, to race with others, sometimes they have to hitch a ride with someone else. Only children of the powerful own cars, motorcycles for racing, they even went on to threaten government officials who are protecting the street traffic order also.”Hun Sen took a measure by ordering police chiefs, military police chiefs to work diligently not just in Phnom Penh but also in all provinces and municipalities. Hun Sen pointed out that: “The other day, the son of a general … who had a very nice car, and he used it for racing (in the city streets). During the race, sometimes problems occur, and it ended up as problems for the parents, this is because these parents love their children too much. You should love your children, but you shouldn’t give them free rein like this. Now, you (police) should strengthen the order, and you should work to win over this, I don’t believe that you cannot win over this. If some parents are arrogant, report them to me. In the past, you hid them from me, and you do not dare report them to me.”Hun Sen severely stressed: “I will fire (the parents) for you to see. In the past, you do not want to report them to me, you are scared, so how can I control all the issues that happen. You hid them, I also have a device to listen to (police communication) radio, and I know about the sons of this personality or that personality, you(?) close your eyes sometimes, the police officers said that one youngster went to this street, and tell their colleagues to look for another youngster at that street… this youngster is the son that personality … let him go… Therefore, the parents shouldn’t give too much free rein to their children. I am calling on parents and tutors, what I am saying is not to make the parents look bad, or the children look bad, but I want everybody to good, both the parents and the children. If the child were to be dead, injured, incapacitated, who would suffer? It’s the parents, therefore, we should know how to love our children.”Hun Sen sternly warned: “Mr. city Governor (Kep Chuktema) pay attention, you shouldn’t just take measures for a short period of time only when the prime minister yell out. This is what I usually see happens, when the prime minister yell, you would take measures … and when the prime minister stops yelling, you stop doing it, you should take measures like the rain constantly pouring down. In some instances, the police officers would remove the front wheel out (the arrested motorcycles), because they (youngsters) are riding only with one wheel, but when the parents arrive, they order the cops to install the front tire back, and order the police officers to apologize to the youngsters on top of that. But you (police officers) do not dare report these cases to me, if you were to report them to me, I will fire the parents immediately, if Hun Sen cannot do that, I will resign.”Hun Sen also called on “schools, parents, the community and all levels of authorities to participate in this issue, to do whatever they can so that our students and our youth become good, we don’t want any accident, and if they (youth) become better, they can be happier as well. This issue does not concern just the city only, but it concerns all the provinces and municipalities which must listen, in particular at the commune levels where the population is voting, the voters pay attention to social order. During the election campaign in the past, we (CPP) talked about safety, social order which constitute one of the topics in the election campaign. (When) problems occur at the commune levels, these actions should be taken, the police stations are there already, therefore the problem is whether they act on it or not…”
