Stay strong, my friend. Stand proud of your ideal and conviction. Your refusal to kneel is exemplary. You appear frail in court, but your reverence and courage shine through in the darkness of injustice. You have lived what Mahatma Gandhi says of his own resolve when facing an unjust authority, “You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.”

Your selflessness should put the selfish to shame. While in court to hear your own sentencing, you ask for nothing other than a solution to prison overcrowding. You are concerned with the Covid outbreak there and reveal that it has infected 32 inmates.

Your shrewdness and audacity are an affront to the Hun Sen’s corruption network, especially when they drive your judiciary interlocutor almost insane during the 30 July 2021 hearing. In your response to presiding judge Le Sokha who asks for your request, you suggest he avoid four biases in his judgement: liking someone, or hating someone, or ignorance, or fear. Effectively, you implore the judge to wear blindfolds to represent objectivity and impartiality in matters of law and justice.

Indeed, the judge blows up, thumps his bench, interrupts your request, and demands you make another. You refuse, saying you must not speak anymore since you have been disrupted while making it. He could expect you to beg him for mercy in the second one. Should he have any conscience, he must be humiliated by your recalcitrance. This could explain why he imposes a maximum sentence in jail terms of two years and a ridiculous joint monetary penalty of $100,000 with other two accused of similar incitement charges. Many case observers claim the court has no plausible evidence to convict any of you.

Nevertheless, your message on judicial objectivity and impartiality may not get through as the judge is a product of a judicial system that is alien to the ideal behind the Lady of Justice who wears blindfolds while holding a scale. These judges may think the Lady is playing a game of hide-and-seek and cheating by peeping through the blindfolds to see how much fear or favour on one of the plates. They may not realise the blindfolds symbolise justice that is blind to an individual’s skin colour, identity, beauty, race, power, wealth, etc.

Your tenacity helps expose corrupt courts that are ruled by nothing but fear or favour. You refuse their instructions to put your thumbprint on a blank paper, which denies them an easy fabrication of evidence or confessions. They promptly put handcuffs on you. Your defiance deprives them of satisfactions they long for.

You refuse to give Hun Sen and his minions any pleasure of wielding their enormous power and wealth. Your steadfast commitment to Cambodia is total and non-negotiable. It may be in vain, but human history is full of changes that have arisen only from the total commitment and courage, as you have displayed, to benefit mankind in the long run.

Fake News You Can Trust

It seems the news that Sar Kheng travels to France has set off a frenzy within the-once-formidable-and-now-comatose opposition. CNRP high profiler Men Sothavarin floats an “unofficial” meeting between his party and Sar Kheng, which he says could lead to another Paris Peace Accord. He has nothing to offer to his antagonists for the meeting, except a naïve claim that Khmers should talk to each other. This expectation is nothing short of a chimeric dream.

The CPP’s response is swift and unmerciful with a pour of icy cold water, dampening any hope of excitement.

A source close to Hun Sen says Sar Kheng is not in a condition to have any meeting besides his doctors in Paris. He is there for his chronic high cholesterol, diabetes, and heart conditions, which have deteriorated, forcing him to seek the overseas medical treatment. He has lost consciousness twice in the last few months.

The source confirms a report that Hun Sen has approved the medical trip, and more importantly, has handpicked his man at the Ministry of Interior secretary of state Sak Setha to act as the minister. Sar Kheng may not return to the Ministry unless his lingering medical conditions improve to the extent that he no longer falls unconscious. Then again, this is one of the many lifetime positions, from which all CPP elite will exit only in a box – Chea Sim, Sok An, Hoc Lundy, etc.

Anyway, the Sak Setha’s appointment, while one of Hun Sen’s inner-circle thorns is wilting, may signal Hun Sen’s move to prepare for a smoother transfer of power from himself to his son Manet.

Hun Sen and his elite minions must be one of the few in the world to profiteer from the Covid pandemic. His latest scheme for personal wealth enrichment is to outsource imports and supplies of much sought-after Western Covid vaccines to his medical minions who can then charge the public a fee.

The scheme creates a potential two-billion-dollar industry. If the UN and Aun Pornmoniroth are right that Covid has sent 17.4% of the population into poverty, then 2.9 million of them cannot presumably afford the private vaccination fee. Only the 14 million better-off can, without pawning their possessions. The vaccination is initially open only to those older than 17 years old, which means 9.0 million of the better-off. Hun Sen later increases the market size by lowering the vaccination age down to 12, which goes against the UN’s recommendation that vaccinations for all older adults be first completed; they say they are more at risk. Anyway, this adds 1.6 million better-off onto the demand; it is then expanded further with Hun Sen’s subsequent proclamation of a third jab for all. If the private vaccination fee is $100 per jab – maybe be higher for Pfizer’s – the industry income will surpass $2 billion for two jabs per person. And if Hun Sen decides the Covid vaccination needs a periodic boost, the industry will be forever lucrative.

It is surprising the scheme now makes imports of Western vaccines suddenly possible. Only last month, Hun Sen’s Covid spokeswoman Or Vandine is adamant the government cannot buy them; they want to. His medical business minions claim they can and will initially import Pfizer and Morderna.

One must have rocks in their head to deny the scheme’s centrepiece is corruption that Hun Sen has perfected to become an open secret. Like other lucrative businesses in the country, there must be grease payments to secure Hun Sen’s permit and blessings for the vaccine import and distribution. About ten private hospitals and clinics have already been blessed.

The permit holders must know they are going to make a killing in the healthcare system that usually has a high disregard for doctors’ Hippocratic Oath. Health Minister Mom Bun Heng says they have turned away Covid patients. They pick and choose which patients to treat to maximise their cashflows. They know there has been a widespread mistrust of the Chinese vaccines; many will pay “anything” for Western shots.

Thus, there will be a rush among the better-off for the Western vaccines. The elite minions have already asked Hun Sen for Astra Zeneca, after the first batch barely arrives. Though the man refuses it in public, which makes him look fair-minded and respectable, the minions must know how the backdoor works. They may think with a smirk that Hun Sen is just kidding himself when rejecting their courtesy overture.

The vaccination outsourcing scheme is hardly surprising, though; it is consistent with Hun Sen’s track records of enriching and protecting his power base, which has never been the 2.9 million destitute.

So, when is the right time to use Astra Zeneca vaccine as the third dose Hun Sen has ordered for those who have already had Sinopharm or Sinovac as their first two doses?

According to Hun Sen, nobody knows. He says his government and the Health Ministry have no idea until they conduct a diligent study to determine the appropriate time gap between the three doses. If he is in the dark, why has he rushed to announce the third dose, which gets all the nervous excited?

However, it seems either Hun Sen does not know what he is talking about, or he is kept out of the loop, or his early dementia has set in. A few days earlier, Chair of the Committee for Covid-19 Vaccinations Or Vandine announces the ideal time gap between the first and the proposed third dose is between six to eight months.

With so many committees and sub-committees Hun Sen has set up to deal with the pandemic, no wonder he has lost tracks of what is going on. Covid may just create enough havoc to send many of those committee members into having their examined.
