Prime Minister Hun Sen has vowed to rule the country for 10 more years in light of the “treachery” of opposition leader Kem Sokha. Addressing thousands of workers at Canadia Industrial Park yesterday, Mr Hun Sen said he made the decision to stay on for another two mandates after finding out about Mr Sokha’s alleged plan to topple the government with the help of the US.

 

The Prime Minister urged workers and their families to vote for him in next year’s election, boasting of how he was the world’s longest serving premier. Mr Hun Sen, who is 65, would step down in 2028 if he won the next two elections and then agreed to retire.

 

“Before I was hesitant about when to leave office, but after seeing the painful and treasonous acts in recent days, I decided to continue my work for another 10 years,” he said. “I hope all of you will vote to support me,” he added, saying he would ensure the development of the nation and prevent anyone from destroying the security of Cambodian people.

what a tosser. long live the great dictator. hope he dies of an inflated ego soon

With his family owning most of the major companies in Cambodia, he has to ensure their longevity.....

If he gets ejected, the family would suffer for all the crimes they committed to get where they now are, and as we can see, he's on an agenda to destroy and opposition.

 

Thailand's Prime Minister will address the nation at 7 pm tonight.
