(Mr. Seng) Sary, I listened to your interview (and) your comments on the French radio – RFI. You were talking about me deleting my messages. I just want to reiterate that you should go back and look at my page. I never deleted the messages. There is no reason to delete my messages […] I send a message to the people, in which I say, “A wound to one pinky finger should not cripple the whole body.” (Saying this does) not mean that I equate national, territorial issues to pinky finger. However, looking into this matter, (in) the (whole) area of 181,035 square kilometers, (how) much of our land has been occupied by the Thais? […] and we keep up fighting to regain it through peaceful means […]
There are only two options. Firstly, attack and take back the territory. Do you understand (what could have happened taking) this option? (Do) you dare to join? This option is to waste the lives of soldiers, cause death and injuries to soldiers and the people, and recreate the refugee situation. (During the previous war) there were up to 60,000 to 70,000 (refugees). Should this option be chosen? Or should we continue the current option by strengthening the ceasefire and negotiating through existing mechanisms as stipulated in the agreement, the (special) ceasefire declaration, regarding the paragraph on the border measurement process, through existing bilateral mechanisms […]
It is either to fight or to resolve it peacefully. No matter which country, the government has no right to give away territory to anyone. We do not recognize the actual occupation by use of force, but you and (some) people abroad have used methods (to bring about this) […] to fan the flames (which) not only spread the situation along the border (but) spread to and worsened the socio-economic situation […]
They have criticized us for just getting together to celebrate the New Year. (While the country is celebrating the New Year) […] (have) the soldiers on the front line cried (for being ignored) or received attentions? (On the contrary,) even the refugees are receiving attentions […] A society must move. Compared to our entire body, if our pinky finger is injured, along with its treatment, we must move on so that the economy, society, culture, and religion continue to grow. We cannot (let) this pinky finger matter (put) us in a situation that creates bigger problems, armed conflicts (that cause) soldiers to die/injure and create refugees back again […]
You said, “we have to explain (which) approach (the government) will take?” You might want to insist on being transparent about the negotiation method. No matter who you are, what country it is, if everything has been told to everyone, why need a negotiation? (Since) we have what considered to be our strengths, strategies (and) (the decision) of which way we go first, which way we go last, which mechanism we go first, which mechanism we go last, an agreement must be reached […]
You asked for money from me to form a party […] to infiltrate the other side. Do you want me to post more of the hundreds of messages that haven’t been posted yet? […] You keep sending me messages to give me information, strategies, […] to attack Thailand, so that Thailand will be divided and unable to go on with the elections […] You are the one who contacted me. I didn’t drag you in […] Over and over again, I ask you not to force me to post those messages […] that Um Sam An is already crazy, what are you, who is considered as the middle man. Do we understand each other […]
To avoid the deaths and injuries of the Cambodian people, the damage to infrastructures, leading to the evacuation of an additional 600,000 to 700,000 people, […] (should) we choose to fight or to negotiate peacefully? […] The Royal Government has stated clearly that it will manage and maintain the ceasefire agreement in order to move towards the demarcation of the border as stated in the ceasefire declaration in December (2025). The government will not give up the territory, but (to claim it back) it would take many days and a long period of times, not one or two days […]
The experience of the case of the Preah Vihear temple, the trial processed from 1959 to 1962 before it was resolved. Later, in 2008, we asked the International Court of Justice in The Hague to reinterpret (its decision). We had to wait from 2011 to 2013 for the reinterpretation of the International Court of Justice in The Hague. (That) all of you guys want to take a day or two (to deal with the matter, is it possible?). Since we have had to wait like this, and in order to avoid the path of using weapons to take back the land, which will lead to the death and injury of the army, we are willing to prepare temporary houses for the displaced citizens […]
The opposition is still talking about the October 23rd Paris Peace Agreement […] Where is the validity of the October 23 peace agreement? It would only involve only the co-chairs of the Paris conference. Would the co-chairs convene the meeting? In that case, the remaining point would come to the request for all countries to respect the independence and sovereignty of Cambodia. As a signatory (to the agreement,) Thailand must respect (Cambodia’s sovereignty). However, Thailand would also claim that “since Cambodia has invaded (its sovereignty), it used force to take it back.” It was clear that Thailand was the one who opened fire first […] and there used to be a question of who shot who first? […]
We do not rule out the possibility of proposing to the co-chairs of the Paris conference, but I could already speculate that “should there be a meeting, we (would) demand for (Thailand) to respect our independence and sovereignty. They (Thailand) would say that they do respect it, but they would demand Cambodia to respect their sovereignty in return.” That is a dual approach. Therefore, the best option is to avoid further deaths and injuries for the people. (For what had happened) in the past, we did not want war and wanted a peaceful solution, but we did not have a choice […]
I would like to reiterate that you (Seng Sary) sent me the messages in December (2025), which I responded to you, urging me to carry out a reconnaissance operation against Thailand. (In the message) sent back to you, I wrote, “(we must) strive to promote a ceasefire as soon as possible” […] Cambodia needs peace, not war. Cambodia needs to resolve the situation peacefully, not by armed force […] The Prime Minister has stated already that “even if there is only 1% chance left, we must use (peaceful) measures to achieve peace,” not only for the Cambodian people but also for the Thai people […]
The Thai press these days (reported) that “Cambodia proposes to reopen the border” […] (Let me reaffirm) that the Cambodian side has no reason to raise the request to reopen the border. (Thailand) is the one who closes (the borer, therefore) Thailand is the one who opens […] Although the Prime Minister is my son, I am the head of the political party. I have the right to give instructions to all the actors. I have the right to arrange who will be the Head of the National Assembly, who will be the Deputy and who will be the Prime Minister, who will do what […] In Cambodia, the electoral system is a proportional system where the head of the ruling party has the right (to do those jobs) […]
There should not be hope for the reopening of the Cambodia-Thailand border. Those who have been (illegally) bringing Thai goods in may have to stop immediately to avoid (measures taken from the) Cambodian and the Thai authorities […] Cambodia has enough goods for its own use and does not need goods from countries that (hold) restrictions (on Cambodia) and that claim that goods have been smuggled into Cambodia. Therefore, I call on everyone to cooperate, whereas the Cambodian side would prevent the Cambodian goods, and the Thai side would prevent the Thai goods from inter-crossing […]
(Meanwhile,) Cambodia has an opportunity to produce its own goods to enter the market. In addition, I would encourage consumers to use Cambodian goods or goods from countries other than those from Thailand. This is not against the framework of the World Trade Organization. It is the choice of the Cambodian people. Only the Cambodian people have the right to decide whose goods they should use. No matter how many importers there are, if there are no buyers, there will be no sellers. If there are no buyers, there will be no smugglers […]
The Royal Government has chosen the option of avoiding deaths/injuries on the people and the army, and evacuating the people. That the people lose their lives is the same as losing the territory. Now we can save our lives, we will try to get the territory back by peaceful means […] We know for sure that foreign countries cannot come to help us set up a border post. They can help monitor and enforce the ceasefire. I would know the answer in advance that everyone is urging Cambodia to use the army to attack and take back these few hectares […] We have temporarily lost control over a small part and we are trying to recover it, which I compare it (to the process of) healing (this wound of the pinky finger). Unfortunately, no matter how much I talk about it, you would not understand. (All of you only know about) opposing from head to tail, thus damaging (the interests of) our nation […]
(All of you) even composed songs of (accusation regarding the land). I want to ask the composers and singers (this question), have you burned incense sticks (during the Khmer New Year) days? If you have burned incense (sticks, even) a single stick, I would warn you of being struck by lightning […] because you have criticized the people in the country for having fun (during the Khmer New Year) and forgetting about the land and the army. Please note that during these days, the army has been well taken care of. The refugees are also safe and have received full supplies […]
It is because the process would take time, we have spent millions of dollars to build decent housing so that the displaced people don not have to live in hardship (of unsettled conditions) […] These houses should be souvenirs for the displaced people. It would be better decision than to take back the houses and lands (because) people have already lived there […] (I recommend to the) Prime Minister Hun Manet to please give them as souvenirs at once. If I were still the Prime Minister, I would have decided that way […] The cost is not that big when it comes to doing it for our people […]./.
