Cambodia prime minister's son Hun Manet tight lipped about leadership aspirations
Hun Manet, the eldest son of Cambodia's prime minister Hun Sen, has declined to say if he wants to succeed his father.
"Cambodia is a multiparty democracy. The constitutions indicate that we have an election every five years," he told The World in a rare interview.
"So the choice, the decisions of who and when to be leader is up to the people of Cambodia."
When asked about becoming prime minister, he said: "Not no, not yes".
Hun Manet is one of the people tipped to be his likely successor. But he denies any preparation for the top job.
"Actually our father has stated many times that he doesn't want any of his children to follow in politics," he said.
Despite that, Hun Manet has been involved in the politics. He is currently the Lieutenant General of Cambodia's Armed Forces.
He said his involvement in politics has been "purely on a humanitarian basis"
From genocide to peace and stability
"The concern is how much I could contribute to society. How much limited time I have on this earth that I could contribute to fulfilling the needs of many people."
Hun Manet said Cambodia had made progress as a nation providing peace, prosperity, freedom of expression for its people.
"The country has moved from the day where people were being killed during the genocide, up to the total peace and stability of the policies," he said.
"The whole country is under one unified government for the first time in about 500 years."
Hun Manet said the government had moved to stem corruption in the country.
"The government especially the prime minister has taken many actions to counter and to eradicate and reduce the level of corruption,".
"The establishment of anti-corruption unit. The reform in many public sectors services, the reform in education services and the arrest and conviction of many high-level officials."
When asked about becoming prime minister, he said: "Not no, not yes," that means YES.
ReplyDeleteHe praises "the establishment of anti-corruption unit.”
Does he know what the hell he talks about?
He lives in Cambodia but stays in a cocoon of another world, he pretends not to even know what happens under his nose.
He can't become PM if his dad keep cheating and losing every time like this.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget guys free meal with hun manet tonight and make you vote for cpp or die.
ReplyDeleteHun Nguyen Tho Mayonnet,
ReplyDeleteKhmer people have enough of your Asshole family.
To prove that you are a real Doctor, try to get a job in a private company first to see if they hire you.
If they don't hire you, then you are a fake Doctor. They gave that shit Doctor paper to you "pour la forme" because Ah Kwack Hun Sen has money.
Sure his sister, Hun Mana, will hire him to do nothing in a heartbeat. LOL

DeleteMister, show us YOUR ideas !
Revenge is a dish best served cold...
ReplyDeleteRevenge, violence, revolution are Yuon and Ah Kwack Hun Sen's games.
ReplyDeleteStay away from these games.
Let help the CNRP to win this next election first and fight Ah Hun Sen and Ah Kantorb as we are the winner of the election. This is the only game that we can win because we will get support from the International Community especially the UN.
No violence and No revolution !!
COD is dead for now albeit wanted by the outside world. Think about it [Seriously$%$#$#%%######]
DeleteYou forget the word "COLD"!
Delete7:40 AM
DeleteI agree.
Win the election FIRST !
cnrp already win and all of you see what happened and how you make from win to be a winner? you might be win and than run to US embassy for help again. because Hun Manet will do the same and next time you can't make any protest at all. just win mean nothing isn't it?

That is a great news for the devil Ho Chi Minh.
ReplyDeleteThe evil Vietnam is able to select a Yuon Hor Mam Lhong to represent Cambodia to discuss some vital issues with Vietnam.
It is apparent that the Vietnamization of Cambodia has been gone smoothly thanks to Ah Roleuy Hun Sen. Ah RunTeas Banh Hun Sen was born to make Cambodia disappear.
Some crazy people such as Ah Chkuot Khem Veasna did not see Ah Hun Sen as a Khmer traitor. He kept attacking incessantly the CNRP. His goal is to weaken the CNRP, thus strengthen automatically the Yuon slave party CPP.
Wake up Khmer Euy!! and watch the situation in our motherland closely so that we can make better judgement.
The CNRP has accomplished that much already. What can we contribute to get our ultimate goal of replacing this Yuon slave party CPP?
Notice that this CPP is a big tree. You cannot make it fall with a few chops.
Our struggle to remove this CPP require a tremendous perseverance, tolerance, and determination.
Therefore, we must stay with the CNRP and vote this Yuon slave party CPP out this next election first. And this CPP won't relinquish its power after it lost this next election but we fight from there. We must prepare for that and let the world know from now of the evil Vietnam's ill intention toward Cambodia.

ReplyDeleteYes, let's march on under ONE flag, the CNRP.
The 2018 election results will lead us to a polical crossroad that
would determine our survival as a sovereign nation.
The election loser Hun Sen will then set the paths: peace or bloodshed ?
Either path, at the end we WILL prevail !
