Hun Sen’s Internal
Time Bomb
«ជាន់កអាហ្អែងថែម
អាហ្នឹងវារឿងតែប៉ុណ្ណឹង។ អាហ្អែងខូច អញកាត់ទោសអាហ្អែង អានេះជាផ្លូវច្បាប់។
តែអាហ្អែងទៅអំពាវនាវឲ្យគេបំផ្លាញកម្ពុជា។ អ៊ីចឹង មានអីត្រូវទុកឲ្យអា
ហ្អែងរស់តទៅទៀត! ឲ្យច្បាស់! សុំកុំប្រមាថ ហើយសុំកុំព្រមានចំពោះកម្ពុជា។

PM Hun Sen is so committed to
eliminating fake news that he talks candidly to PP about his current worries:
PP: You often use a vulgar
language in public. Why?
HS: To show off my authority and
threaten my foes as well as my minions.
PP: Many succumb to your threats;
a few don’t...
HS: That is because I have not
been vulgar enough. I will do better.
PP: One of the recalcitrant is
Kem Sokha whom you lock up in his room like a naughty kid.
HS: Well, there is a sign in his
room reminding him that he can walk out any time.
PP: No conditions?
HS: Indeed, there is. He must denounce
Sam Rainsy, like Kong Korm did.
PP: What is the difference
between the two men?
HS: Kong Korm is smart and accommodating.
I told him I could drum up cases to confiscate all the land he ever owns. What
do they say? If you’ve got them by the balls, their hearts and minds will
follow. I have tried to grab Kem Sokha’s balls even before he was locked up.
PP: What if Kem Sokha has no
balls?
HS: I will use his freedom as a
leverage to get the EU import tax off my back. The EU can have his freedom, and
I the tax concessions.
PP: Why are these concessions so
important to you?
HS: A loss will devastate my
power base.
PP: What do you mean? Are you
worried about possible revolts if factories’ workers lose their jobs due to a
possible export cut?
HS: No, the workers are the
least of my worry.
PP: Oh, how so?
HS: Most fear me. It will take
them a long time and courage to revolt.
PP: So, what is your main worry?
HS: My top minions and generals.
They can anytime mount a revolt against me. The export cut will hurt their financial
and mental well-beings.
PP: How so, sire?
HS: They have direct financial
interests in those factories and in the “Made-in-Cambodia” label they have sold
to apparel factories in China for years.
PP: Is this why you called a
meeting of the CPP Central Committee a few days ago?
HS: Yes, and I have worked out
who a potential challenger to my power is.
PP: How, sire?
HS: I asked the members of some
900 or so to nominate – in a secret ballot – their preferred candidate among
Hun Manet, Say Chhum, Sar Kheng, Aun Pon Monirath, and Prak Sokhon to succeed
me.
PP: So, they know who your
successor is…
HS: Not quite. I brought the
ballot box home to count and keep the outcome to myself.
PP: It must be your son Hun Manet.
HS: No, it’s Sar Kheng.
PP: Sar Kheng???
HS: Yes, he’s the man who
prefers a generic term, “Royal Government of Cambodia”, rather than “Hun Sen Government
or Regime” that clearly acknowledges my glorious achievements so far.
PP: You are right to be so
anxious and vulgar, sire.

Fake News You Can Use
It is rather refreshing that,
according to Heng Vanda, the education sector has almost got rid of corruption.
He pays tribute to Minister Hang Chuon Narong for the latter’s reform effort.
It is refreshing because, buried in the pile of manures, there is a little
sparkling diamond untarnished.
Perhaps, Heng Vanda sends Hun
Sen a message that if leaders are clean there will be no corruption issues.
Then again Hen Vanda may just be
ingratiating himself with the Minister for something in his form of corruption
labyrinth.
“If leaders are clean, then there will be no problems
with money or corruption… I can say that there is very little corruption now in
the education sector.”
