PHNOM PENH, Nov 14 – Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen denounced Monday opposition politicians who compared him with the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
“The comparison is the most serious insult on my life and is most painful for me,” he told a road construction and inauguration ceremony [where]. “Comparing me to Gaddafi means an intention to kill me”.
Hun Sen, Southeast Asia’s longest serving leader after the Sultan of Brunei, promised that if his ruling Cambodian People Party (CPP) loses national elections in 2013, he will transfer power peacefully to his successor.
“Don’t worry. If the CPP loses the election, it will accept the result of the election. And the transfer of power can take place within 60 days of the election.” But if the CPP wins the election, Hun Sen said he would remain prime minister for a fifth five-year term.
