Hun Sen and Hun Manet: Like father like son

Re: Two of PM’s sons eye political office [Is this a North Korea-style dynastic succession?] 

Cambodia never had a leader of Hun Manet's stature

Let be fair, honest, and have a basic understanding.

This is my personal opinion:

I don't believe that Hun Sen's eldest son, Hun, Manet is anyway like his father. I believe he is intelligent, educated, have pleasant personality, very patriotic to our people. For sure he is not willing to accept any influences from any foreigners. In our history, I don't remember that we ever had a leader of Hun Manet's stature, including any members of the royal family. Realistically, I think Hun Maneth will be a good leader for our country, our people and our future.

I don't think he deserves to be compared to North Korean leader, Kim Jung Il. It is unfair to Hun Manet. Give him a chance and allow him to be a little mature. I am confident that he will lead us [Khmer] to a promised land.

I am not a party to anyone, I like all Khmer that have the same objective as I am, as long as we have any Khmer leaders who are honest to our people, protect and defend our country from all enemies, protect our territorial integrity and sovereignty, truly patriotic to our country and to our people, allow our people to have freedom, independence, self-reliance, equal justice, and every Khmer to have an opportunity to pursue happiness and prosperity.

I am not a politician, I never have been nor will I be one. I don't hate Sam Raingsy, Hun Sen or any of  members of the royal family. I like any Khmer that is willing to sacrifice his soul for his country and his people, like Mr. Ho Chi Minh did for his people. Can anyone of our Khmer people step up and use Mr. Ho's ideology and willing to sacrifice his soul.

All politicians started with good intention, but ended up corrupt

All politicians started with good intention, but ended up corrupt. It's like a virus that spreads in any country.

Munet and Many have been laying foundation for succession for many years now.

Hun Sen created his dynasty with his Viet wife, Viet boss and Viet offsprings.

His Viet master will make sure Cambodians are fooled and continue to see Sihanouk's face in the moon.

Better or worse, no dynastic succession

I also believe that Hun Manet will be better than his father, but I don't like succession from father to sons, like in the old days or communist states.
All Hun Sen's sons got positions from his father, like in the military. They did not get it from their ability, though they are well educated. But many well-educated children of the poor were never given a chance because of corruption, cronyism and nepotism.

 Being well educated doesn't mean anything, like Ranariddh

Being well educated doesn't mean anything.

Look at Prince Ranariddh. A Ph.d in political science from France.

Manet Ph.d is in economic. He completed his entire education from Freshman at West Point to Ph.d in less than 10 years.

Hun Sen is a killer, so will his sons

Anonymous said... 

I agree. The Hun puppies are no different to the Hun Dog. Like father like son, Hun Sen has been killing and selling the country. How different will the country be under his father's foundation?

He will be a ruthless killer, born in the family that cares only about power through killings and jailing of innocent Khmers.

Now his father jailed an old man [Mam Sonando] to 20 years with no evidence, do you think that the Hun puppies will be different to his father? How so?

Do we want to wait till the Hun Dog is 90 years old and dies, waiting for another 30 years then allowing his Hun Puppies to take over his fathers's Regime?

Let's be fair. Hun Sen is a killer. So will his sons.

The young Hun will be the same as the old Hun
Anonymous said... 

Education - depends on what kind of education - Ph.d in Political Sc. is another name for uselessness and fit only at joining the unemployed queue, good examples are Ranariddh and Veng Sereyvuth (good at sharing wife??.For the Hun boys - they grow up knowing full well of their family's background and how they accumulated their wealth and how corrupt their father is and the people they associated themselves with - AND YET HAVE THEY DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT??? SO MUCH IS THEIR EDUCATION AND WHAT IS WORTH!!! So those who may believe that the HUN boys can be better - you can all start praying and apologising!!! 21 February 2013 9:18 am

Hun Manet will lead Cambodia with military style

Anonymous said... 

When a dictator select his successor, he has to make sure his son or sons will continue what he is doing . The two sons of Hun have been trained as the way their father wanted them to be and they sure have passed several tests .
Kim Jong Nam was prepared by Kim Jong Il for his successor , later he (Nam ) was out of his father's favor because Kim Jong Il did not expect that Jong Nam will preserve his father's leadership .
The two young Hun will do what their father has done - just look at Volunteer Youth led by Manith : wherever the volunteer youth go, the provincial governors and other high rank officials must go to greet them and provide them whatever they need, otherwise they will be in troubles. This is a dictatorship style that Manith has done well as his father had set up to test him. Manet has rarely listened to other people's opinions or explanations, especially his subordinates, because he is too proud of his high education abroad - he will lead Cambodia with military style .

In Hun Sen's Farm: All are equal, but some are more equal than others

You're copy the previous message, but i have to agree with you because i too is neutral, i am not with anyone party, i hated corrupt people and greedy people. I also hated nepotism,cronyism, favoritism and communism. I am a fair-minded individual who grew up in the civilized society and have lived thru Hell on earth [K.R regime] as a young boy who has been victimized by K.R regime. I'd like to see these young educators like the three Hun's give up their nepotism/communism because they have all been educated by the free world/democratic society, they owed it to the western society, they should give up communism. Furthermore, they should give opportunity and justice to all Khmers, not just the well-connected people. They must enforce the law of the land, protect our motherland, prosecute those who break the law regardless of their stature in life, rich or poor, powerful or powerless or the homeless on the streets or any thing in between are all subject to abide by the rules of law, NO FAVORITISM!. You break the law you pay the consequences, you committed the crimes, your serve your time.No excuses nor exception.
