In a meeting with a Cambodian-American social media commentator living in the United States in Washington on May 11, Prime Minister Hun Sen revealed that he could have been kind to Sam Rainsy if he had created opportunities for himself. .

In a video that Mak Hoeun posted on his personal Facebook page, PM said: “Rainsy losing opportunities, during the time that I lost my brother, if he sent me a condolence letter it would have push me to the edge. He couldn't even manage the opportunity, it’s not hard to write a letter, it would have push me into a difficult situation. Now I should thank Rainsy, if [sends a letter of condolence] i do not accept, I can not accept, I have to owe an answer to the local supporters, will say that my boss [Rainsy] will return home because the Prime Minister has already answered. This guy doesn't know how to do politics.”

Sam Rainsy, who was convicted by a Cambodian court in countless cases, has been living abroad for more than seven years, since the end of 2015.

He said: "Depending on this message! The Prime Minister seemed to shake Kem Sokha's hand because before leaving for the United States, there was a four-hour meeting, but according to this message, the meeting between Samdech Techo and Kem Sokha was not useful at all. On the other hand, we see that Mr. Kem Sokha has no weight or political weight in the negotiations and is not valued by Samdech Hun Sen as a party to the negotiations to end the problem in Cambodia.”

For Social commentator, Dr. Meas Nee believes that it is not possible to conclude just by the revelation of the Prime Minister now, but he supports the consensus between Cambodian politicians, should leave politics aside. To show the same spirit and condolences as Cambodians. He observed that from the previous point of view, PM Hun Sen always has a response when there is condolences to him for the loss of family members.

"Sending a message of condolence that could be a political solution seems too early for such a conclusion," he said. But if we look at the past when there is a message of condolence, almost everything is a response from the Samdach, look like it never misses when there is a message of condolence. At least he sent a private message of thanks.”

Hun Neng, the brother of PM, passed away at the age of 72 at about 6:25 pm on May 5, 2022 due to a heart attack. After receiving this news, the former leader of the opposition party, Mr. Kem Sokha, sent a message of condolences to Prime Minister Hun Sen and wished for the soul of Hun Neng to go to the heaven.
