Hi Savun,
Thanks for your thought.
Let those who want to defect, defect. Let those who want to quit, quit. Let
those who want to continue, continue.
It is very hard to find politicians who truly commit to serve Cambodian
national interests.
Stay well, my friend.
Sincerely,
Sathonne

Don¢t you think, this is the sign that the oppositions to the Communist

Avoid self interest and egoism by so called " I am your lead.

Hi guys,
Along with Keo Remy, Lim Rattanak and Samrach Reach have defected to the
CPP. Keo Remy run as the number 1 candidate for HRP in Phnom Penh but failed
to
get enough votes. Samrach Reach ran as the number 2 candidate in Kg. Cham.
Lim Rattanak also ran as HRP candidate as well. Both failed.
All of them pledged with HRP members and supporters, as well as in front of
Preah Angk Dong Koeur, to be faithful and loyal to the people and to the
party..
Regards,

_The Phnom Penh Post - Opposition defectors continue to flock to Hun Sen's
ruling CPP_
(http://www.phnompenhpost.com/index.php/2008100922044/National-news/Opposition-defectors-continue-to-flock-to-Hun-Sen-s-ruling-CPP.html)
The HRP's Reach Samrach and Lim Rathanak, and the NRP's Keo Sothea say
govt's overwhelming support demands allegiance

Reach Samrach, former chief of finance for the Human Rights Party.
TWO members of the opposition Human Rights Party and a third from the
Norodom Ranariddh Party announced their defection to the Cambodian People's
Party
on Tuesday, just hours after HRP founding member Keo Remy embraced the ruling
party.
Reach Samrach, chief of finance for the HRP, and his deputy, Lim Rathanak,
told the Post Wednesday they agreed to defect to the CPP without conditions
or expectations.
Keo Sothea, an NRP stalwart and publisher of the Voice of Khmer Youth
newspaper, also announced his allegiance to the CPP.
Reach Samrach said that he submitted a letter to CPP leaders seeking
permission to join the party, but that he has yet to receive a response.
"I cannot walk contrary to the CPP leaders when they have received so much
support from the Cambodian people," he said.
Lim Rathanak told the Post he also defected without conditions and did not
seek a position in the new government.
Meanwhile, Keo Sothea said Wednesday he could not continue as a member of
the NRP because it would no longer have any political clout following last
week's resignation of its leader, Prince Norodom Ranariddh.
"After [Prince Ranariddh] quit politics, I saw that the NRP would be weak,
so I could not stay," he said.
Senate Vice Chairman Tep Ngorn told the Post he will preside over a ceremony
today to formally recognise the defectors as CPP members.
In the run-up to the July 27 national polls, the opposition suffered
unprecedented defections to the CPP, which won 90 of the National Assembly's
123
seats.
