Khmer Circle: 

More specious clichés from the defenders of the indefensible?

Since when has Hun Sen ever listened to public opinion or "the silent majority"? No wonder it is said that men use their 'intelligence' as a form of prostitution when it matters to them. Yet, even 'prostitutes' in their common and often challenging circumstances only trade and sacrifice their physical bodies in order to survive or in order to feed their family members and loved ones. It is probably among the noblest of self-sacrifices given all the cruelties and violence prevalent in history's oldest profession.

Note also that it is not rabid critics, their foul choice of language used or even ‘extreme’ views that the Hun regime fears or censor the most. Such base and uncivilised language has on the contrary been characteristic of Hun Sen himself and those of his hordes and, this often entails verbal threats of arrest and violence against those who seek to peacefully exercise their right to constructive criticism and expression as lawful citizens.

The right to air one's opinion on issues of concern to society and the public in this manner is also the citizens' constitutional duty and obligation. Yet, perversely the regime and its apologists prefer to portray this peaceful exercise or expression as amounting to "incitement", "extremism", "conspiracy to commit treason", "defamation" or liable to "create chaos and disrepute to the well-being, order and stability of the society"?!

We should as well ask of this regime: what actual crimes under these definitions have any of those youth environmental activists committed to warrant a prison sentence of 6 to 8 years? What crimes did Kem Ley and other dead victims of the Hun regime committed to have justified his murder in cold blood? Was he insolent, insulting to the King, an ‘extremist’? Kem Ley was also perturbed by the granting of land leases for up to 100 years to Vietnam's firms  through the so-called "Economic Land Concessions" involving large swathes of territory across the North-East; a precursor to the CLV betrayal.

It is disingenuous to try to draw any parallel between this lop-sided CLV scheme with known multi-national arrangements and co-operations elsewhere in South East Asia. None of these other states have quite posed the same geo-political threat to one another or operate under the same hegemonic sway of the other party?

The worst crime a human being could commit is deliberately betraying the land and country that has given him birth, fed him with all her means and kindness...
