CPP MP Cheam Yeap, the chairman of the National Assembly commission for economy and finance, said that he thanked the 4 US Congressmen who are concerned about the people of Cambodia more so than the Cambodian MPs and government. However, Cheam Yeap said that this condemnation cannot be accepted. The reason for this non-acceptance stems from the fact that [, for example,] regarding the accusation of threat, [Cheam Yeap is wondering] what action shows this threat against the opposition politicians in Cambodia? Cheam Yeap added: “As far as I know, a number of these gentlemen [US Congressmen] never even travel to Cambodia, therefore, they just listened to reports provided by individuals or the opposition party – because the opposition consider the US Congressmen as their parents and it reported everything [to these US Congressmen] in the past.” (sic!)
Cheam Yeap added that he believes that some of the points raised by the resolution indeed happen, but there were reasons for those. Furthermore, the opposition party and the CPP party are preserving and defending the honor, the amicability, the confidence and the votes cast by all the people in the country. “We see that the election victory stems from the people loving [us] and our historical achievements under the special leadership of Samdach Akkok Moha Sena Bat Dey Dek Cho Hun Xen, the prime minister, i.e., he turned Cambodia from a killing field into the current felicitous condition,” Cheam Yeap said.
Cheam Yeap added also: “Let me reply to this resolution submitted by the 4 (US) congressmen, please weigh in properly, don’t just listen to one side and then go on to provide an evaluation, it is not right. Put both of them on the scale, i.e. ask the ruling party, take the idea from the international committee to ask clearly about the information, then you can weigh in for the evaluation. Listening to the opposition report based on what they see, everything is bad, there is nothing good, i.e. [in] Cambodia, as soon as you open your eyes, everything is dark.”

KI-Media Note: In case Mr. Cheam Yeap had not properly read the US Congress Resolution 820 yet, we would like to inform him that the US Congressmen who sponsored this resolution also based their judgments on reports provided by Global Witness and Human Rights Watch, as well as the reports provided by Prof. Yash Ghai. But, of course, as His Excellency Cheam Yeap stated himself: in Cambodia, everything is dark, therefore, the chance of Mr. Cheam Yeap noting any of these reports criticizing the CPP regime is next to nothing.
