Hun Sen Encounters ‘Choh Chenh Tov’ Chants on Drive to Airport
Prime Minister Hun Sen got an unexpected send-off from thousands of striking garment factory workers Thursday morning when his motorcade passed the marchers along Russian Boulevard as he traveled to Phnom Penh International Airport to depart for a three-day state visit to Vietnam.
Holding paper placards demanding a salary of $160 per month, many among a crowd of between 5,000 and 6,000 garment workers chanted “Hun Sen Euy! Choh Chenh Tov! [Hun Sen get out],” as the prime minister’s car and an accompanying entourage of senior government officials passed by the marchers.

Marching with the workers, Rong Chhun, president of the Cambodian Confederation of Unions (CCU), said that 85 percent of the strikers encountered by the prime minister on Russian Boulevard had walked out of more than 20 garment factories in the city’s Choam Chao area and were en route to join the opposition party’s protest at Freedom Park.
“The worker marched from Choam Chao only to demand their main claim of wage rise,” Mr. Chhun said.
Council of Ministers’ spokesman Phay Siphan said he had not accompanied Mr. Hun Sen to the airport and was not aware of the uncharacteristic greeting the prime minister had received on the road.
Mr. Siphan also said the workers’ chants to the prime minister were futile.
“Their yelling is their business. The people already willingly decided [on Mr. Hun Sen as prime minister] after the July election,” he said.
Mr. Hun Sen, who is accompanied on his visit to Hanoi by his wife Bun Rany, Finance Minister Aun Porn Moniroth, Commerce Minister Sun Chanthol and Foreign Minister Hor Namhong, was scheduled to meet Thursday afternoon with Vietnam’s Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, according to his personal assistant Sry Thamarong.
Mr. Thamarong said that nine agreements are to be signed between the two governments during the state visit, which will also see Mr. Hun Sen meet former Vietnamese military volunteers, including one-time Vietnamese President Le Duc Anh, who planned the military incursion in December 1978 to topple Pol Pot.
Responsible for Vietnamese forces in Cambodia during the 1980s and State President from 1992 to 1997, Le Duc Anh was instrumental in helping to raise the military forces that ousted Pol Pot, and brought Hun Sen and other senior members of the ruling party to power. Biographers Harish and Julie Mehta noted in their book “Strongman” that one of Mr. Hun Sen’s closest relationships during the 1980s was with then-General Le Duc Anh.
Mr. Hun Sen will also have lunch with Vietnamese investors today, Mr. Thamarong said, adding that trade with Vietnam is currently more than $3 billion and the government “vows to reach $5 billion in 2015.”
“We know that we can do it,” he said.

Ah Hun Sen "Ah Doumear Seesaker Buon Choeung"! Was Ah Ho Chi Minh, your real, real father? Ah "Ploeur, your Khmer blood is still warm and running in your body? Why don't you tell the Khmer people that you are ah Chker yuon and is governed a country named Cambodia, which is a Yuon's satellite state. Heh a Chker, you and your senior officials in the government are the real traitors to our nation, Cambodia. All of you deserved to be capitulated, and your dead bodies will be thrown in the moekong river. Ah "Chker Kanhcheas Youn", you think you are invincible, not so ah ach kwek, now fishes still enjoy eating ants because the flood water is still there, in another couple months when the water has been completely receding: it is the ants turn, to eat fishes as much as they wanted. It is in deed the natural law. Do not so much embolden and arrogant due to the fact that no one dares to kill you this time yet, but your shit is already in your pan now especially in "Mee Chumtearv nTeeToer's" pan. Look, so many special arm guards around your house, is it a park to display and entertain to the Phnom Penh citizen? Thank you, ah "Ronteash Banh", or is it a sign of cowardice? You should kneel down and bow three times to Ms
Sinawatra. I think you can do that
because you used to lay down your head flat to the floor for your yuon master to wipe off his feet before conducting the national affairs in all special meeting behind close door. Ah Hun Sen ah "Chheam Thork", and yopur liver is as dark as buffalo. Of course, at this moment even you has been so shock and trembling, and in relatively speaking you are safe because you have so many dogs with their sharp canines around your house of arrest. Remember the "Will" of the people will be preserved at last. You and your family clan and all of your close associates would be subjected to the court of public opinion. It is the great time to all Khmer compatriots to start cleaning out the yard very tyhroughly after 30 years of a policy of youns favoritism to illegally establish their business to plunder our national resources every where in Cambodia.
In other word, every one of us said that Hun Sen Has been committing the despicable act of treason against our nation, so the verdict would be the dead penalty. There wouldn't be any provision of laws to protect you, the former "ach prime minister" as being discussed in the group of all the spin doctors, so called ah " Puok Chkuot Toeuk Moat"who like to bark with their smelly mouths for their chewing bones. These are all the excrement
de la terre in our society.
