CPP Prime minister Hun Sen (L) and SRP MP Mu Sochua (R)Originally posted at: www.samrainsyanz.org
In the early 1980, I came across a book called “The Chocolate War”, written by Robert Comier, Australian High school chose this book to be part of their 11 curriculum, those who read this book would realize the story in The Chocolate War and the lawsuit between MP Mu Sochua and Prime Minister Hun Sen has some resemblance. In The Chocolate War, “The world created by school and The Vigils-the seemingly natural order of things. The Vigils are strong enough to impact that natural order, and a large part of their power grows from the fact that what they say goes. Defying them is to defy something huge and it creates giant waves and disturbs the universe. The goal of The Vigils is to create their own universe that all of the students must follow the rules that they've set. Eventually, The Vigils end up creating a universe so powerful that no one dare defy it”.
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Hun Sen, the universe here is the world created by the ruling party - Cambodian People Party (CPP) and it public servants. As in The Chocolate War, it power grows from the fact that what they say goes. Defying them is to defy something huge and it creates giant waves and disturbs the universe, until MP Mu Sochua comes along … MP Mu Sochua dares to disturb the universe!
