Prime Minister Hun Sen said yesterday that he will be prime minister for the next ten years to break the world record for running a country. Speaking yesterday at the inauguration of a construction project to expand Natonal Road 3 in Phnom Penh’s Por Senchey district, Mr Hun Sen said: “I will be a prime minister for the next ten years to break a record.”

 

Mr Hun Sen said that he has been prime minister for 33 years and he depended on the people’s support for his reign to continue. “I hope the Cambodian People’s Party will win the election,” he said.

 

He lashed out at former opposition party leader Sam Rainsy for calling for a boycott of the election, saying that Mr Rainsy abused the voters’ rights. “Some people [Mr Rainsy] said that since their party could not join the election, the United Nations will not recognise the election result,” Mr Hun Sen said. “The people have the right to choose their representative from any political parties they love.”

Seems Hun Sen's monumental political ego is up there with someone else we know. Must be something in the S.E. Asian air that generates this arrogant self-conceit.

"longest serving"? I guess if you count "self serving". Certainly not serving the people

The new Putin !

Just your normal dictator claiming that his reign is everlasting because of the love that his subjects have for him.
