Eng Chhay Eang: The SRP strongman has resigned


By Khmerization

Mr. Eng Chhay Eang (pictured), former Secretary General of the Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) and the party strongman, has resigned as an MP for the Battambang constituency where he had served for several terms already.

It is not sure what prompted him to resign, but he was known to be under tremendous pressures after he was publicly attacked Mr. Mao Monivan for nepotism and cronyism. Mr. Mao Monivan had resigned as an MP and was then expelled from the party for his public outburst against Mr. Eng Chhay Eang and the party spokesman, Mr. Yim Sovan.

Mr. Eng Chhay Eang was instrumental in strengthening the party's rural base and in the setting up of party branches across the country. He is politically astute and earned high praises from Mr. Sam Rainsy for his intelligence and management skills. He was once touted as a possible successor to Mr. Sam Rainsy as a party president due to his political shrewdness. However, he was heavily criticised for his heavy-handedness against internal criticism and has often been considered as a liability to the party due to his past gambling addiction.

Mr. Eang Chhay was replaced by Mr. Vann Narith.

At the same time, Mrs. Long Sakhorn, an MP from the ruling Cambodian People's Party, has also tendered her resignation as an MP for the seat of Prey Veng and she was replaced by Mr. Pov Samy.

Mr. Rainsy did not appoint Thai nationalist as Cambodia adviser as Hun Sen did. Thai jailed and deported SRP's activists to Cambodia in favor of Hun Sen. So 5:06pm said from idiotic imagination without proper research. Do not love leader personally but as leader or your love means nothing to your nation.

Eang Chhay Eang has resigned, and how about the powerful YUON SOVANN, the Mrs tioulong saumura favourite and his wife YUON SOVANNAROTH?

Chhay Eang did the right thing. How about Hun Sen? He was corrupt, sold out Cambodian territory to Vietnam, when will he resign? I bet he will never resign until he died or was assassinated by one of his rivals from within his own party.
