PHNOM PENH (The Cambodia Herald) -- An opposition party senior official said that the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) plans hold another mass protest after the conclusion of the Pchum Ben ceremony.
Yem Punharith, CNRP’s spokesman, said Friday the CNRP may hold the protest after the Pchum Ben ceremony to demand justice for voters, establishment of an independent committee, and a check and balance system.
"The party [CNRP] is currently assessing if the protest is only able to march in some of the bigger provinces, and demand a mass protest for the whole country," he said.
"The goals of the protest are to seek the truth and the demand the creation of a committee to investigate and study the irregularities for future reforms, and also seek an effective reform management."
Concerning the opposition’s protest warning, Prime Minister Hun Sen recently threatened to release a voice recording from a meeting between the two party leaders, and post it on Facebook.
In the cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Hun Sen said the opposition party leader gave up their demands for an election irregularities probe, and recognized that the CPP won 68 seats, while CNRP won 55 seats.
Hun Sen, who had just won another five-year term as Prime Minister of Cambodia for the fifth legislature, also raised the issue that the opposition party wanted the National Assembly’s chairman's post, but the CPP rejected.
The CNRP’s spokesman, however, expressed no surprise over Hun Sen’s threat to post the voice recording on Facebook.
"There are no problems over the recording; We would like him [Hun Sen] to release the completed recording," said Punharith, adding that we request that the next negotiation be broadcast live on television.

My analysis scenario:
Sam rainsy is blackmailing Hun Sen the former soldier Khmer rouge
*The current stand-off between MM Sam Rainsy and Hun Sen would be: a "HUGE FINANCIAL MATTER".
* And I bet that everything will sort out in the near future, and Mr Sam Rainsy will take up position as the President of the National Assembly of Cambodia to legalise Hun Sen government.
* But sooner or later, Mr Sam Rainsy will be stripped of his parliamentary immunity and will flee in self-imposed exile as he get used to it.
* Finally, he would have a luxurious retirement surrounded by young and beautiful girls. It would be a happy ending for him.
