The interview Sam Rainsy and his lieutenant Eng Chhai Eang grant Radio Free Asia on 25 September 2020 re-confirms that they are not capable of mounting credible campaigns for anything beyond nuisance value.

First, it is most unlikely Sam Rainsy will turn up in Cambodia. He claims he has convinced the world that Hun Sen fears him when the latter stops at nothing to prevent him from setting foot in Cambodia last November. It is now, he says, his turn to prove that he does not fear Hun Sen – by just turning up. As he has learned lessons from the aborted trip, he will not release travel details until he knocks on Hun Sen’s door to make him jump. How daring.

Yet, Sam Rainsy inadvertently highlights his inner thought. Though he claims Hun Sen fears even his shadow, he keeps on asking the strongman for a Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card for his return. Why would he need what is akin to his nemesis’s blessing?

Then there is a flexible timeframe for the trip. Sam Rainsy says it will depend on two variables: situations in neighbouring countries and negotiations with regional influencers he does not elaborate. His track records show the flexibility is more like a pretext for indefinite delays. It will remain unclear until then who fears whom.

Second, the CNRP has been falling apart. Scores of well-educated long-standing colleagues have left the party in drove. Eng Chhai Eang brands them as “fake” democrats, saying any intent to change either Sam Rainsy or himself is futile because they hold no [state] power. He expects “real” democrats to give them a blank cheque, and to grow enough spine to raise their challenges when in power. And look where that get those who are critical of comrade Pol Pot after their 1975 victory.

Sam Rainsy makes it clear he is not interested in managing different or dissenting views, casting them aside as noises. He says they are personal issues for personal interests, which have no place in his big picture. Here, a similarity between Hun Sen and Sam Rainsy on how they deal with dissenting views is striking despite a tiny twist. While Sam Rainsy snubs dissenters when they wave goodbye, Hun Sen ensures dissidents are oppressed, silenced, or pushed out of sight; many are now in exile.

Third, the CNRP leaders are convinced succession planning is of no benefit. They reject their role in selecting and nurturing future leaders. Their succession understanding is limited to setting a universal retirement age at 70 for everyone to progress up the ladder. Ironically, Sam Rainsy forgets he has already past the 70 mark. Facing the CPP’s active succession planning, CNRP will have no effective successors in the long run to stop the CPP from what they say destroying the country.

If there were a second Miracle on the Mekong that sweeps Sam Rainsy into power, there would be a second Hun Sen who would continue to persecute dissenters and condemn Cambodia to replicate the CNRP doom.

Fake News You Can Use

So, Hun Sen has no idea what the size of Cambodia is. Koy Pisey says they are going to find that out after their demarcation with Vietnam. But Hun Sen knows during the process that the demarcation has given Cambodia an extra 2,000 hectares. How does he work out this gain when he does not know what he has to begin with?

He spends five hours and twenty minutes in the National Assembly explaining how the gain has come about. And those with intellect equal to an inverse of their position applaud his monologue effort whenever they are awake from their intermittent pleasure of snoozing.
