Sam Inn: We ourselves have to rebuild a strong and powerful Khmer Nation

Sam Inn, the General Secretary of the Grassroots Democratic Party, GDP wrote on his Facebook wall today, December 8, 2019 criticizing Cambodian politicians. Below is what he wrote:

There have been suggestions that Cambodia is weakened by internal strife for power.

If we explore the history of other countries, especially our neighbors, Thailand and Vietnam, there is an internal conflict over power as well. However, there are some notable differences.

For example, Thaksin and Ms Yingluck, the elected Thai prime minister were illegally deported, but we have never heard Thaksin or Yingluck call abroad to help resolve or punish Thailand.

Of course, they both may also need some foreign support in his political struggle, and he quietly asked for help without the Thai people knowing. Why not?

First GDP's Congress, August 2, 2015

Because as a leader of a nation, they know that if they train their people to live in a spirit of dependence on other foreign countries, their citizens will lose their self-confidence in their fight and rely on others that will wither the nations, and it will not be able to stand and always be in the spirit of as loser.

After the Longvek era, Cambodian politicians preferred to rely on foreign nationals to help in internal conflicts to fight for power, and to shout out to their citizens that they were very strong and smart with foreigners waiting to settle behind. 

It is time for the Cambodian political leaders to change this mindset so that we can rebuild a strong and powerful Khmer nation.

4. Avoid threat and intimidation in any form, such as using words of imprisonment, war break out.
5. Eliminating the mindset of hostility and revenge which means ending the politic culture that "Fish eat the ants while there is a high tide, and the ants eat fish while there is a low tide.
