Hun Sen did not bring stability, UNTAC did!

"What many of Hun Sen’s critics fail to understand, particularly those who would hope to inspire an Arab-spring-like uprising, is that Cambodians remember very well what a dreadful business civil war can be. In 1998 Hun Sen achieved where UN promises had failed and ended 30 years of a conflict that had left millions dead."

For that reason many Cambodians are still prepared to overlook the bloody indiscretions and brutal tactics of the ruling party—and willing to carry Hun Sen to repeated victories. The chances of fermenting a Khmer spring are remote, and might seem plausible only to a self-imposed exile abroad."

The CPP, you have done enough damages already!

For those who have benefited from this regime, they have shut their lips, closed their eyes and refused to see and hear the issues that faced our nation today.

The questions that I wanted to ask for the CPP to answer are: Is that fair to confiscate people's land and destroyed their houses and put their parents in prison? What good had come out of putting these parents in jail? Don't you think that without parents, these kids will face more difficulties and will mentally break down?

Please let these parents back to their kids, CPP. You have done enough damages to these families. These parents were not a threat to your regime.They deserved to be with their kids just like you be with yours...

Hun Sen supporters are "like frogs in a well"

Many who support the CPP and Hun Sen are "like frogs in a well" (doch kongkep knong andong). They only saw and heard what Hun Sen had preached to them, but did not see the reality. They must see things from the outside in, not from the inside out because what they see and hear on TVs and radio are lies and propaganda.


Those who believe that Hun Sen had brought prosperity and stability have overlooked the role of UNTAC, the international community and the resistance fighters, like the Sihanoukists and the Son Sannians. Without these people, Cambodia would have been a colony of Vietnam and become a really poor, backward country. Hun Sen did not bring stability, he had brought instability to Cambodia by refusing to recognize the UNTAC-organized election 1993 and then staged a coup in 1997. Without the UNTAC, Cambodia would have been fighting each other, under Viet control, poor and backward. UNTAC brought peace to Cambodia and staged the most fairest election in Cambodian history in 1993 but Hun Sen refused to recognize the results. If Hun Sen accepted the results and agreed to step down, Cambodia would have peace and stability since that time and no coup and no killings until today.

Hun Sen caused all instability by refusing to recognize the 1993 election, staged a secessionist plot and staged a coup in 1993 against the election winner.

Talking about economic prosperity, if the opposition is in power, things would have improved twice better because Sam Rainsy had proven to be an able finance minister after the 1993 election. In only a few months time, he had collected a great amount of revenues which have been evaded by Hun Sen's rich cronies and that's why he was sacked in 1994 because he dared to touch Hun Sen's corrupt cronies.
