Sam Rainsy’s Remote Control Leadership

Sam Rainsy’s Remote Control Leadership The imprisonment of the CNRP activists, senior officials and senator, brutal violence against the two CNRP parliamentarians , removal of Kem Sokha from first vice president of national assembly, PM Hun Sen calling opposition leader Sam Rainsy “Son of traitor” and the arrest warrant against Sam Rainsy are a series of unfair, unethical, unlawful and politically motivated events. These events have not only dramatically affected the popularity of PM Hun Sen and the CPP as a whole but also have created sympathy from many rational CPP’s supporters and intellectuals due to the dreadful treatments on the CNRP activists and leaders. The CNRP gained the momentum extraordinarily.  Print Screen from Sam Rainsy's Facebook Page   Then came again the old assignment PM Hun Sen used to test the bravery of Mr. Rainsy who paired the photos of himself and Aung San Suu Kyi on his Facebook page to inspire CHANGE in Cambodia. Mr. Rainsy’s callin...

Kem Sokha’s Emphatic Strategy

Kem Sokha’s Emphatic Strategy Emphatic-Creative-Hypnotizing Speech    (Reflecting Kem Sokha’s speech in the U.S. last week Click here to listen to his 26-minute speech )  Kem Sokha (Photocredit: The Phnom Penh Post) Kem Sokha shows his gratitude to the supporters for their devotions and uses strategy to get empathy and sympathy from the his followers.   Kem Sokha wholeheartedly apologizes and accepts mistake for not following Khmer diaspora’s desire (to use people power to bring about change during the mass demonstration).     Kem Sokha throws the ball to the USA as the one who kept pressuring him not to hold mass demonstration because he knows Khmer Diasporas are more obedient to the US decision in terms of sound democratic modeling and influencing on Cambodia (Khmer diaspora believes only the US that can help liberate the country from Vietnam. Not China because China is perceived as a communist state according to them.) ...

Hard-hitting Global Witness Report

Hard-hitting Global Witness Report on HOSTILE TAKEOVER How Cambodia’s ruling family are pulling the strings on the economy and amassing vast personal fortunes with extreme consequences for the population.  From Global Witness Report The Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) has been in power for more than 30 years and has purposely blurred the distinction between private and public interests. The CPP has skillfully structured their top political leaders and financial elites to run the political and business affairs of the party and the country. They appoint their children (next generation) as the future leaders to control significant state institutions and business cooperates ranging from armed forces to youth, mass media to major businesses. Such leadership leads to rampant corruption, nepotism and abuse of power in the country.   Basically, the term “neo-patrimonialism” would best describes the leadership of the CPP government because the powerful political l...

New Political Parties Are Mushrooming in Cambodia Political Parties Contested in July 2013 National Election The late development of political behaviors of active citizens is worth noticing that within one year and five months only after the end of a year-long political deadlock (28 July 2013 - 22 July 2014) eight newly-established political parties have officially registered and a few more groups are considering to create political parties, most probably before the commune election 2017.   The creation of NGOs working on human rights and democracy is being complicated due to the LANGO but the creation of political parties is very much easy and welcomed by the government. The opposition leader Sam Rainsy has monopolized the team “Democracy” and Mr. Rainsy and his party have already been perceived as the icon of democratic change in Cambodia by the grassroots supporters. Sam Riansy used to say without him and CNRP no one can challenge PM Hun Sen; this is definite...
