WHAT SHOULD KHMER PEOPLE DO IN THIS JULY 2018 ELECTION?

Op-Ed by Bun Thoeun

“Why do some parties still participate in the election?”

This 2018 election game Khmer people knew the result already.

1- If the CNRP's supporters do not go to the polled station on the election day, the CPP and Hun Sen will be the winners.

2- If Khmer people vote for other small parties, the CPP and Hun Sen will be the winners.

3- If a political party is strong and is a threat to the CPP, Hun Sen will kill or imprison its leaders, and dissolve such party.

Why do some parties still participate in the election?

If those political parties' leaders are Khmer, they should boycott the election and join force with the CNRP to fight for the REINSTATEMENT of the CNRP and let the CNRP participate in this upcoming election.

Suong Sophorn, President of the Khmer people power, has made the absolute right decision by boycotting this July 2018 election.

It is up to Khmer people to do something right and necessary such as the Nationwide PEACEFUL demonstration ( not a popular movement ) firmly demanding for the reinstatement of the CNRP 7 days prior to the election and let the demonstration go on through the election day, MAKING THE ELECTION IMPOSSIBLE to prevent Hun Sen from declaring that he is the new Prime Minister.

If Hun Sen violently suppressed such peaceful demonstration, the international community will have the morale obligation to help Khmer people and Cambodia one more time.

We must help ourselves first before other can help us.
