Cambodia stood between past and future in 2022 — balancing completion, new beginnings and legacy creation. As Cambodia’s first electoral term with a one-party National Assembly under the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) drew to a close (2018–2023), the party prepared for an upcoming generational transition.
In December 2021, Hun Manet was endorsed by his father, Prime Minister Hun Sen, and his party as the country’s future prime minister. A photo of what was allegedly 2023’s young incoming cabinet was circulated. The CPP’s key concern in 2022 was to ensure a transition void of surprises. The scions of the old guard slated to become ministers gained public prominence and power constellations settled around them. Manet raised his profile, including as the head of Central Youth CPP, which gained visibility as its members eagerly displayed their allegiance to the successor-in-waiting.
Manet and his wife Pech Chanmony also implanted the idea of themselves as the country’s future first couple through their leadership of the organisation Samdech Techo Voluntary Youth Doctor Association (TYDA), which having combated the COVID-19 pandemic celebrated its 10-year anniversary.
The imminent end of an era led by the military fighter (neak tosour) generation of CPP leaders also brought in sight the end of Prime Minister Hun Sen’s rule (Samay Decho), which is likely just a few years away.
Hun Sen sought to build a legacy as peacemaker, who through the ‘win-win policy’ defeated and integrated remaining Khmer Rouge forces by 1998. The ubiquitous slogan ‘Thank you peace’ (orkon santhepheap), which cast Cambodia’s everyday normality as attributable to and contingent on Hun Sen’s leadership, referred in equal measure to the 2017 dissolution of the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party.

You know that when a person is part of a university department with the name "[something] studies" then its 90% nonsense. Funny thing is they tend to loathe the place they are studying in. China studies hate China. Russian studies hate Russia. etc.

I don't agree with her but the ad hominem is rather ridiculous. She's hardly some nobody
To clarify, there's nothing I disagree with in the badly-edited article, I mean in previous stuff she's penned.guest9 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 28, 2023 3:57 pmI don't agree with her but the ad hominem is rather ridiculous. She's hardly some nobody
I think she was the person who coined the phrase "blood sugar" a decade or so ago.
