PHNOM PENH, Dec. 28 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian opposition leader Sam
Rainsy on Saturday called for a negotiation with Prime Minister Hun
Sen's ruling party over political dispute since the July's general
election. "We'd like to send a message to the ruling Cambodian People's
Party (CPP) that it should be the time to meet each other to find a
solution to the current political crisis because the issues have become
bigger and more complicated," Sam Rainsy, president of the Cambodia
National Rescue Party (CNRP), said in a press conference. "I hope that
there will be a large-scale talk in early next year, possibly on January
1, 2 or 3," he said, adding that it would be good if the talk could
also be attended by representatives of other political parties, civil
society organizations, and business community.
Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Sar Kheng said the CPP has always welcomed talks with the CNRP.
"For long time, the CPP has stuck to the stance of negotiating with the CNRP. It is the CNRP itself that has irregularly changed its stance," he told reporters at the Phnom Penh International Airport while receiving the return of Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen from a visit in Vietnam.
Since Dec. 15, the CNRP has launched a new round of daily protests
and led thousands of supporters through streets in capital Phnom Penh to
demand Prime Minister Hun Sen's resignation and hold a re-election
following allegations of serious irregularities during July's election.
The July poll results showed that the Hun Sen's ruling party won a
majority of vote with 68 parliamentary seats against 55 seats for the
Sam Rainsy's opposition party, but the opposition refused to accept the
outcome and has boycotted parliament since then.
CNRP's vice president Kem Sokha said Saturday that despite a call for
talks with the CPP, the party still continues its daily protests,
especially a large-scale protest on Sunday, Dec. 29.
In addition to the opposition's anti-government protests, tens of
thousands of garment workers have gone on strikes nationwide since
Wednesday after the government decided to raise a monthly minimum wage
in the garment sector to 95 U.S. dollars from April onwards from the
current 80 U.S. dollars, but the pro-opposition trade unions disagreed
with the new wage hike and demanded the government to double the wage
for the workers from 2014.
On Friday, riot police and protesting workers clashed for a short
time at the Phnom Penh Special Economic Zone, leaving at least 3 police
officers and 4 workers injured.
According to Kheng Tito, spokesman for the National Military Police,
the clash happened when thousands of striking workers blocked the
National Road No. 4 in front of the zone on the outskirts of Phnom Penh
and hurled stones at police and factories.
As of Saturday, protesting workers are still blocking the road.
CNRP's president Sam Rainsy, along with his accomplices, has incited
striking workers to join his anti-government protests by promising to
increase their minimum wage to 160 U.S. dollars if his party comes to
power.
Hun Sen said on Dec. 20 that he would neither step down nor call a re-vote because he has done nothing wrong.
In reality speaking, Hun Sen is already death. All armed men are at his house to pay respect to the Chief. The reliable source said, "Hun Sen shot himself in the mouth the day after returning from Vietnam." HIs dead body will be kept in secret there to hide from the public for at least another 3 months. In the mean time Sar Kheng, the real Khmer Yiekminh ,is going to take over the helm of the state until the council of the ministers reconvene sometimes next month; until such time you will hear a lot of don't do this , don't do that laws which are bubbling out from Sar Kheng smelly mouth. This Khmer Yiekminh guy knows the laws of the jungle by heart, he never once refers to the specific law which is guaranteed by the constitution. Either he is so dumb to read or he doesn't care about the laws at all, so another dictator is in the waiting line. The CNRP should also direct their attention to this Khmer Yiek Minh equally to the dead shadow of the former dictator, Hun Sen.
ReplyDeleteTHe talk with a dog on lease is not going any where. It is a cheap , dirty and empty promise to slow down our demands in the criteria 1 and 2. However, the Communist Cheating Party hope that these legitimate demands would go away by any means. It is a hope against hope that the majority of our population would continue their effort to do their rally for months and months until they succeed in toppling down the dictator. Our dear people understand this process very well so why they welcome and congratulate each other to join the demonstration. Surely, our people have very deep sense of self conviction, for they have seen all destruction every they looked in the country, so why their determination is so well definite this time. Therefore, they understand the engaged rule of the game which is, no back down, only to proceed ahead until the victory is the sure thing to all of us. Bravo! The Will of the people is preserved at last!.
