(1) More than 6,000 kilometers journey to invest more than 400 million US dollars in the education sector – the Techo’s legacy, the foundation for the succeeding generation to follow
I stayed up until 12 o’clock at night […] such exhaustion is not comparable to the exhaustion of our farmers and workers […] I never compare myself with someone richer – “I am the son of a poor man, but there are still people poorer than I am” […] The fact that I and other elderly leaders’ exhaustion is not something to worry about excessively […] Reviewing the situation of Preah Vihear province, in 2016, I made some investments, especially in the education sector […] to build school buildings that have not yet been inaugurated. Inauguration or no inauguration, however, is not important. The important thing is to provide education for children […] We spread (schools) throughout the district so as to give children, youth, especially girls, the opportunity to receive education. This is an investment (in education) […] To examine the situation of former battlefields, in order to achieve the goal of turning them into developed areas, I traveled more than 6,000 kilometers by van and invested more than 400 million US dollars in the education sector. That achievement is the legacy of the elderly or some people call it “Morodok Techo” (the Techo’s legacy) […] The foundation for the succeeding generation to follow […]
(2) The amount of cash in treasury is in better shape than when the firmer generation left
It has been more than 20 months since the new generation has continued (leading the country) […] by continuing to strive, on the one hand, to preserve the achievements left by the previous generation, and on the other hand, to promote development […] Yesterday, June 26, 2025 […] I looked at customs revenue, internal tax revenue, and the amount of cash in the treasury. I can say that the amount of cash in the treasury is greater than the amount before we, the old generation, left. This means that the succeeding generation are not children without manner, but a generation of good breeding, working hard to increase salaries for civil servants, increase spending on social protection, and investment in education, health and other sectors […] We use information technology systems, or digital, to fight corruption by paying employees through banks […] the Covid-19 has destroyed us, but also pushed us forward one step in information technology and digitalization[…] The unfortunate thing now, however, is that in Preah Vihear, Oddar Meanchey and all over the border, now the entire Cambodia-Thailand border is caught in a terrible conflict, which was created by the Thai invasion in the Mom Bei area on May 18 […] I have done my utmost to call for efforts to prevent the conflict from spreading from one place to another, from spreading from one sector to another […]
(3) Only those who lack integrity are afraid of the legal process
The National Assembly and the Senate have approved a resolution for the government to bring four issues, namely Mom Tei, which is a war-prone area, Ta Moan Thom, Ta Moan Toch, and Ta Krabey, to court for resolution. Overall, Cambodia continues to resolve peacefully through bilateral mechanisms and through court mechanisms […] The court system is peaceful, not a land grab. As for the rest, we continue to resolve through bilateral mechanisms […] The word “by peaceful means” is through bilateral and the court system. We should not be afraid of the court system […] It is strange that Thailand accused Cambodia of violating Thailand. Let me ask the people in Bangkok who accuse Cambodia of violating Thai sovereignty, why don’t you sue Cambodia to the international court? Why don’t you agree to go to court with Cambodia? I am begging the Thai people, the Cambodian people, and our friends in the world to consider this issue carefully. Why should they be afraid of the court system? […] Thai leaders should not be afraid of the law. Going to court (to) decide this matter makes it easier for the government to explain to its citizens. If a court ruling is issued, we can easily explain to our citizens that this is a matter for the court to decide, not the government to do anything […] In a way, only those who lack integrity are afraid of the legal process […]
(4) Are the Cambodian opposition with the nation or with the foreign country? The Cambodian people must judge
Cambodia has sent a letter to the court. There are those in the opposition demanding that the government show a seal or a document stating that the court has received the complaint. My dear fellow compatriots! You may oppose, but you must think about national interests and think about the law […] Are you with the nation or with the foreign country now? The Cambodian people must judge. Who is with the Cambodian nation, and who is with the foreign country to destroy Cambodia […] I have received last night something that would increase our legal rights! The enemy has recognized that the (problematic) area is Cambodian territory […] We do not recognize their map, but their map, the original map accompanying the 1907 Franco-Siamese Treaty, also (points out) that the location is in Cambodian territory. We have identified the weak point in this document […] Despites some opposition, the majority of Cambodians trust the Royal Government. The Royal Government has to fulfil this mission (of taking the four areas to the International Court of Justice) because it is a decision of the joint session of the National Assembly and the Senate, which are the supreme organizations that require the Royal Government to fulfil its obligation […]
(5) Amendment of the Constitution regarding the revocation of citizenship of Cambodians who conspire with foreigners to destroy Cambodia should be a possibility
I am asking the opposition to learn about the law. Even though you are an opponent, I want you to be knowledgeable because you are also a Cambodian. If you are an opponent and instead conspire with foreigners to destroy Cambodia, there may be a need to amend the constitution again. Please allow me to sound a suggestion to His Excellency the Minister of Justice of Cambodia to study the possible amendment of the Constitution regarding the revocation of citizenship of Cambodians who conspire with foreigners to destroy Cambodia. Can it be done? Now is the time. The Constitution does not allow for the revocation of citizenship […] however, when it is shown that there is a conspiracy with foreigners against their own country, is revoking citizenship possible? This is just an initiative as the time has come […] Cambodia cannot accept foreign interference and use of the Cambodians against the interests of the country […] I do not want any Cambodian citizen to be ignorant, no matter what tendency opposition they belong to. I want them to be educated, because if there is too much distance between those in power and the opposition, it is difficult […]
(6) Cambodia to defend the country with trashy weapons as it did in 2008-2011
Cambodia wants to continue to resolve the issue peacefully, through bilateral mechanisms and through judicial mechanisms. Both are peaceful. But why did Cambodia send troops to the border? The story started with the tension that arose on May 28, which is why Cambodia had to send forces. We have the right to defend ourselves and the right to retaliate against any aggression […] We do not have the ambition to attack Bangkok (like some Thais always say it to Phnom Penh), even though our weapons capabilities can reach there. We will not do that. I do not boast about our weapons. Cambodian rusted and trashy weapons are sufficient. We tried it before, in 2008-2011 […] Let me talk a little about the naming of the radio communication group […] Let’s use the former names. If you hear voices from the Sorya (Sun) and Chandra (Moon) groups, they are all top leaders […] the provincial leaders want tourists to spend money in their provinces. Now tourists come and stay for months (and maybe) years […] I am calling on the military logistics chiefs of all units and those in the rear who want to support the frontline […] buy Preah Vihear province’s products so that the people of Preah Vihear can benefit from the troops stationed here […]
(7) Implementing the Senate election law by redistributing constituencies from eight regions to 25 constituencies can be done in either September or October
I thank the members of the commune councils who voted in support of the Senate members […] This is the Senate’s Region 8, which includes Kampong Thom, Preah Vihear, Stung Treng, Kratie, Ratanakkiri, and Mondulkiri provinces […] I have set a goal […] that every senate member is accountable to the electorate, meaning that the senators will meet with the commune councils. It is through the commune councils that they go to the grassroots. I do not want the senators to sleep on their salaries in Phnom Penh. Since each region has six provinces and six members, it is difficult to determine who goes to which province. Therefore, we are considering amending the Senate election law, and the initial discussion with some leaders has set the path to possible adoption of the voting system based on the National Assembly (system). Use provinces as constituencies, not regions anymore […] The possibility of implementing the Senate election law by redistributing constituencies from eight regions to 25 constituencies can be done in September or October […]
(8) Would Thailand be stupid to violate the ASEAN principle of non-interference in internal affairs to let the Cambodian opposition leader enter its territory?
Analyst Seng Sary said, “Thailand is using the first, second, third, and by fourth cards,” they will let the opposition leader (of Cambodia) enter Thai territory. If Thailand is that stupid and violates the ASEAN principle of non-interference in internal affairs, (let Thailand do it) […] If Thailand does it to that point, it will be enough to be labeled violating the ASEAN principle of non-interference in internal affairs […] In the past, Thai soil had been a haven for the tripartite (coalition government). The State of Cambodia had fought back. If it comes now, what does it mean? It means that Thailand uses the Cambodians to oppose, to take up arms against Cambodia. Therefore, I have studied the question of revoking nationality and making them Thai citizens, should they prefer […] the Minister of Justice (may decide now if he) should draft the law or not? Now it has reached that level. We may have to revoke their nationality. You have foreign nationality, you have conspired with foreigners and betrayed your own country, what do you need the Cambodian nationality for? Thailand also revoked (the Buddhist monk) Ta Such’s nationality and […] I saw that Ta Such thank the Prime Minister (of Cambodia for offering him the nationality) […] I don’t know if Ta Such has arrived? It’s almost the rainy season now. If the Venerable arrives, I will go and pay my respects […]
(9) The CPP leaders of the first generation will not abandon each other and will gather in Prey Veng on July 2nd
With the example of the Preah Borom Ratanakod (in managing the state affairs), I asked Samdech Kralahom, Samdech Tea Banh, Samdech Men Sam An, that “whatever is happening, we’ll deal with it together.” We won’t abandon each other. You’re wrong to think of splitting the Cambodian People’s Party. Many persons had many times aimed to split the Cambodian People’s Party and have resulted in dissolving themselves. You’ll be watching on July 2nd […], which will be the 10th anniversary of the demise of Samdech President Chea Sim and the 16th anniversary of the death of his wife. All of the leaders will gather in Prey Veng province. We won’t forget him/them. We are the leaders of the first CPP group, the first generation. We won’t abandon each other. You may want to think it over at that point. It’s not a stage performance. In coming here, we come together, we eat packed rice together […] Finally, please let the provincial and local authorities closely supervise the refugees […] The Ministry of Health is taking extra measure to increase hospital capacity […] and pregnant women and young children must be supervised, as this is the time of dengue fever […]
(10) Troops adjustment agreed, but “Cambodian troops withdrawal” was what Bangkok said
Madam Prime Minister, you have come out to attack Cambodia again and again. Today, I will clarify issues regarding the Shinawatra clan so that the Thai people know what is going on. Let me start with the leaked phone conversation. It was not my intention. On June 15 (2025), after waking up, I heard that Khleang Huot, who was at that time with the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense of Thailand, called me […] suddenly I came to the thought that I once was deceived. I had to record the conversation. Why did I say there was a deception? We agreed to adjust the forces at the Mom Bei area. Thaksin, Madame the Prime Minister, and Yingluck, the former Prime Minister who is in Dubai, called me to thank me for this adjustment of forces […] But instead, in Bangkok, they used the language that “Cambodia has withdrawn its troops”. I was tricked. I was lied to. So, I must be transparent with my people. I must be accountable to my leaders […] I sent the recorded audio to about 80 leaders in the permanent group […] and among these 80 people, there might be one who might be angry with the Thai Prime Minister […] The Facebook “Avatar” takes a nine minutes long audio and posts it […] I have 17 minutes and 6 seconds audio record. If you want, I will post it. Eventually, I woke up to sea of reactions […]
(11) Eight issues about relations with the Shinawatra’s
Now let’s get to the topic that I wanted to show the Thai people and the Cambodian people […] I am a person of virtue. “I do not betray anyone first. I am willing to be betrayed first.” Now they have betrayed me. Please do not talk about virtue to me. I will only mention eight points today […] Firstly, to please Hun Sen, Madam Prime Minster is willing to insult the military commander himself. I do not know how it is viewed in Thailand, but in Cambodia, to inform a foreigner and insult own military commander is a treasonous crime […] Secondly, Madam Prime Minister wanted to deceive me, assuming that it is a negotiation strategy or negotiation tactic. Madam knows Hun Sen too little […] I must let everything out. I must fight back. I have no choice. The insult is too serious on me […] June 24, 2025, they attacked Cambodia about online issues […] Cambodia cannot work with a Prime Minister of such model. We look forward to working with a new prime minister. Please do not say that I poke my nose in the affairs of overthrowing the Thai government. I only let Thailand know what kind of dirty deeds the Prime Minister has committed against her own people […]
Secondly, the online thing. Madam Prime Minister, you are spinning a situation that you should not … Cambodia is just a victim of online activities in Thailand. Only Thailand has an airline connecting from other countries. Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia do not have large airlines flying directly in. So, all online scammers must be regulated by the Thai authorities. May the Chinese, American, or others, look at this issue clearly […] Cambodia is suffering bad consequences from Thailand. Cambodia does not have flights that come from far away. They come through and are divided in Thailand […] Online criminals, scammers, drug dealers, and human traffickers all use the state’s infrastructure to carry out their activities […]
Thirdly, the threat of cutting off electricity and the internet. You say that Cambodia received wrong information (about that), but when we explained it, you apologized to me. You are not worthy of being the Prime Minister. Even your Ministry of Foreign Affairs insulted my country, you don’t even know it, and instead came to apologize to me on the phone. Cambodia has no choice and would not let Thailand cut it off (first) […] Cambodia cut it off first […] Yesterday, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense of Thailand said that Cambodia is still buying electricity from Thailand at six points. I have checked. The Minister of Mines and Energy has sent a specific message that there is no (connection) anywhere. Does the Thai Minister of National Defense have the dignity to speak or does he not understand the problem, instead he is trying to continue to humiliate Cambodia? […]
The issue starts with closing the border crossings. Cambodia must respond. May the Thai side, whichever it maybe, remember, it should play a win-win game like the Prayut Chan-o-cha period did or the period before this incident, is better […] Cambodia is ready to restore normalcy with Thailand, but it may not be possible during the period of this Prime Minister […]
Fourthly, regarding oil and gas, it comes from the bullies. In fact, we still buy oil and gas from Thailand. We know that there is a Thai state-owned company, PTT, doing business in Cambodia. After repeated threats, the (Cambodian) Prime Minister announced that Cambodia would no longer accept them. Don’t forget, the world market is competing to sell goods. So, Cambodia is a customer, it should be treated as a customer […] Threatening Cambodia today is not a wise thing to do […] Cambodia can no longer accept insults […]
Fifthly, about the workers. In the past, you treated workers like hostages, threatened, insulted, and looked down on Cambodian workers. When Cambodia was ready to accept Cambodian workers back, you were so accommodating. Even factory/farm owners told the authorities not to insult them […] Before, we lacked jobs. Now, there are so many local jobs, so many that there are not sufficient workers […] If you do wrong, Cambodian workers will not stay. The voice of the Cambodian government accepting workers has also helped raise the level of respect for the rights of Cambodian workers in Thailand […]
Sixthly, the secret related to the cabinet reshuffle […] The cabinet reshuffle is not coming from Bhumjaithai, but it stems from the Prime Minister’s disloyalty to the alliance […] the Prime Minister told me that Pheu Thai needed to take control of the Interior Ministry to achieve the goal of building a recreation center, which Bhumjaithai did not agree to. She intended to change Anutin Charnvirakul to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Health. She told me, “This is a way for Bhumjaithai to walk out on its own.” I thought to myself, “Oh my! Even at the time that Thai politics is so fragile, they are thinking of betraying the alliance. How could they.” I thought one day they would betray me too […]
She said that to replace Bhumjaithai, when it leaves, they would take some people from Prawit Wongsuwon and some from the “For the People” party, which was previously owned by Phak Kao Klai (Move Forward Party), to fill in […] If I am lying, dare you swear or not? If you are willing, swear with me. Go and swear in Bodh Gaya, India […] Through Khleang Huot, Dubai (Thaksin said) to tell me that “he is ready to remove Anutin”. I told him through Khleang Huot, “Change him, be careful if he changes you. This is not the time to change him, it is time to restrain yourself.” However, when this audio message was leaked, to preserve its honor, Bhumjaithai withdrew from the government without waiting to be removed […]
The seventh is Thaksin’s illness. The court summoned Thaksin on the 13th and 14th (June 2025). There is no need to wait for an investigation. I am a witness. (The current Thai Prime Minister) is also a witness, and she is also guilty of this matter. Khleang Huot is also a witness, and another person, whom I will not reveal his name. If the court requires, I will reveal his name. He is Thai. Thaksin is not sick at all. I flew to visit Thaksin. When it was time to take a picture, he took that cervical collar for neck support and put it on to take a picture. After taking the picture, he took it off and went to meal. They call it a sick trick. But the Thais found out […]
Finally, of the eight points, which port did Yingluck leave Thailand through? First, I apologize to former Prime Minister of Malaysia HE Najib Razak, to whom I said, “No! she is not leaving Thailand through Cambodia” […] That was a lie on my part. In fact, Thaksin relied on me to help and someone organized it from inside Bangkok […] Thaksin was on stand-by in Singapore. After crossing the border, Yingluck met with me on the phone, crying. Yingluck, who currently holds a Cambodian passport, is still abroad […] The car carrying Yingluck left Poipet at the same time as Thaksin, flew from Singapore, they met in Siem Reap and boarded a plane to Dubai […]
(12) Thai people must be friends of Cambodia and must choose a win-win approach
The 30 years of friendship were destroyed by the friend’s daughter. This is a history in repetition. The late His Majesty – the King Father Preah Borom Ratana Kaod – saved Thanat Khoman (when) Khoman fled to Cambodia. When he got out from Cambodia, Khoman played a trick on His Majesty. However, I still maintain that the Thai people are not the enemy of Cambodia. The Thai people must be friends of Cambodia. I also believe that the Thai people want Cambodia to be friends. If we choose a win-win approach, everyone will benefit. Thailand is more profitable than Cambodia because, even though Cambodia has only 17 million people, it has a large purchasing power […] Doing business with neighboring markets is good. We shouldn’t become enemies and close the border. Is closing the border profitable? Cambodia does not negotiate because (Thailand) itself is the one who closed them. (Thailand) itself is the one to open them. Thailand once closed them all alone, why do they need negotiations to reopen them […] If you want to close it forever, close it. Who loses? Who gains? It is everyone’s loss […]
(13) Being unprofessional is unprecedented insult and should not be used among politicians
The Thai Prime Minister insulted Hun Sen and Hun Manet, both of whom are unprofessional. You are wrong. This is an unprecedented insult. This is the first time I have received such an insult […] Madam Prime Minister, you must remember that unprofessional language should not be used among politicians. June 16, 2025 – in the interview with Thai media (Thai Prime Minister mentioned) that “using social media to send a message (showing) that Cambodian leaders are unprofessional” […] On the 15th (of June) there was a negotiation, and on the 16th (June) she issued the unprofessional things. On June 17, the audio message leaked […] Even if you are a billionaire, such insults are unacceptable. The insults are not only to us, but to the Thai people themselves and the Thai leaders themselves, and even within their own party […] I have no intention of attacking (the party) in this matter, though […]
(14) Time for no more border closures and there will come a time when things ease up
Once I participated in the formation of the Pheu Thai Party […] Thaksin formed a party to participate in the 2001 election but he did not have enough votes to form a government. He asked me to help talk to Chavalit Yongchaiyudh to form a government […] I did not do much. I just surveyed the issue and reported back to Thaksin after I met with Chavalit Yongchaiyudh that to form a government (together) seemed positive […] About the 2003 border closure. That was Thaksin’s game. We accepted the fact that we were wrong for being unable to protect the Thai embassy, Thai companies […] We just let them close the border […] One day I went to play golf […] I called Sok An to ask Surakiart (then Foreign Minister) “when the border would open?”
Waited for a long time, there was no answer. I ordered all Thai goods to be stopped at the border […] Sok An called and said there was a call from Bangkok, which said, “Our side (the Cambodian) is closed (for in-coming goods)” […] After three days, Thaksin ordered border gates reopened because Thai people threw goods in front of the provincial hall. That’s the policy of border closure […] When his daughter came to power, the same method of border closure is used. It’s time to change the system of border closure. It’s not good. Let us use win-win politics, and let the people do business on both sides, and follow the border to share candy rather than bullets […] Hopefully, Thailand will have a new prime minister to solve problems with neighboring countries – Myanmar, Malaysia, and Laos, and especially with Cambodia. I don’t think we will still confront each other for years or decades. There will come a time to ease up at some point […]./.
