KUALA LUMPUR/PHNOM PENH - Cambodian opposition veteran Sam Rainsy flew into Malaysia on Saturday after promising to return home from self-imposed exile to rally opponents of authoritarian ruler Hun Sen.
“Keep up the hope. We’re on the right track,” Rainsy said on arrival at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in a message to supporters. He had set off from Paris on Friday night. Hun Sen characterized Rainsy’s plan to return home on Saturday, Independence Day, as an attempted coup. “Even though we can’t enter Cambodia today, on Nov. 9, as we planned, we can say that we achieved at least 70% of our goal,” a CNRP official in Bangkok, Saory Pon, told Reuters. “You can see the intimidation, the harassment, the crackdown, the arrests.”
“We have friends everywhere, in every party so I feel at home here,” Rainsy said. “Of course I want to go back to my home country.” A Cambodian foreign ministry spokesman, Koy Kuong, said the government respected Malaysia’s internal affairs while noting that it had recently said it would not be used as a base for a struggle against any foreign country.
