Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has expressed his ‘regret’ over the comment made by his Singaporean counterpart, Lee Hsien Loong that Vietnamese troop invaded Cambodia during the fighting to topple the Khmer Rouge. “I deeply regret to learn of the Facebook post of H.E. Lee Hsien Loong, Prime Minister of Singapore, on 31 May expressing his condolences on the passing of General Prem Tinsulanonda in which he said “His [General Prem] time as PM coincided with the ASEAN members (then five of us) coming together to oppose Vietnam’s invasion of Cambodia and the Cambodian government that replaced the Khmer Rouge…” Hun Sen said in Facebook page yesterday night.

He said his [Lee Hsien Loong] statement reflects Singapore’s position then in support of the genocidal regime and the wish for its return to Cambodia. Singapore was the host of the tripartite meeting that led to the formation of the coalition government of the Democratic Kampuchea, which had prolonged the war and the suffering of Cambodian people for another 10 years.

“It’s an act against the survival of the Cambodian people. His statement is also an insult to the sacrifice of the Vietnamese military volunteers who helped to liberate Cambodia from the genocidal regime. His statement reveals to the Singaporean people and the world that leader of Singapore had indeed contributed to the massacre of Cambodian people.” Hun Sen added.

Brother Number 3, Ieng Sary, also holding the position of Deputy Prime Minister.

Yes, a good friend, named Hun Sen!

Hun Sen was on the Vietnamese side.

He does have a point though, the Vietnamese invasion brought an end to the genocide wreaked in Cambodia by Pol Pots Khmer Rouge. 

Somehow thru the lenses of the cold war, with the Viet invasion, the Khmer Rouge suddenly became the good guys.
