Re: ''Doubts about Asean chair,'' Bangkok Post, Sept 16. Oh, please, who is Hun Sen to give advice? As a former lieutenant and stooge of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, this man's closet is probably filled up with the skeletons of two million innocent men, women and children who were massacred by the fanatic regime he once served.
The world knows the history of this man. In order to claim political legitimacy in Cambodia, Hun Sen portrays himself an intellectual. He actually quit school at 12 and was a joke at every lunch table in Phnom Penh when he earned his Master's and Doctorate degrees within two years from Hanoi University. He also titles himself ''Samdech'' or prince, although his parents were poor peasants, and egotistically boasts about his heroic virtue in third person: ''In Cambodia, there is no one, except Hun Sen, who could imprison the son of the king.''
This is the man who is described by his countrymen as ''the ghost goes in, the ghost comes out'' for his complex, ever-changing personalities and volatile mood swings. Today, he runs Cambodia with absolute power, carrying out a pervasive mentality of fear. Hun Sen isn't led by ideology. The man is a peasant, with a peasant's pragmatism. So give us a break, Hun Sen. Clean your closet before telling others what to do!
And to all parties out there who brought Thailand into this most humiliating position: don't you think it's about time we got our act together? Asean is waiting and the world is watching.

Ha Ha.... Shut Up...Uneducated.
Dont try to manipulate other countries and don't try to merge two different things together. If the problem is not related to Cambodian teritory, Cambodia doesn't care about Thailand's crisis.
Hey...
What is your main topic, SUDARAT?
About Hunsen's mistake or about the teritory ?
Cambodia talk only about the teritory.
Your comment doesnt make any sense.
"Clean your closet before telling others what to do!"
It is ridiculous?
nothing to talk about, like teritory..,but speak about a leader's mistake and Cambodians' problem.
asshame!
Although I agreed with most of what Sudarat wrote, I believe that what Mr. Hun Sen said reflect the current state of affairs of Thailand and its inability to chair the ASEAN Summit. With political uncertainty and crisis boiling, no foreign minister and just got PM appointed, Thailand would have a hard task organising and chairing the ASEAN meeting. Mr. Hun Sen was merely voicing his concerns because Cambodia is one of the members of ASEAN. He was talking about the affairs of ASEAN, not affairs of Thailand.
