Cambodia's Hun Manet officially became the new prime minister on the morning of August 3, succeeding his father, Hun Sen, in what should have been a cause for celebration. But Hun Sen said something uncomfortable at his son's inauguration ceremony: "If Hun Manet's life is in danger when he becomes prime minister, I will return to the post of prime minister." ”
It sounded like a curse for his son's misfortune or a hint that he wanted to return to power. Such words are undoubtedly a blow and pressure for Hun Mane, who has just taken office. Why would Hun Sen say such a thing?
In our culture, we all know that it is auspicious to speak, especially when it comes to happy events. Even if it's the truth, be careful with your wording to avoid giving people a bad premonition. For example, when someone gets married, we want to wish them happiness, not that they may get divorced. When someone has a child, we want to wish them health and happiness, not that they may get sick.
Hun Sen, as a politician, should be more aware of this. His words are not only disrespectful to his son, but also irresponsible to the state. He should be proud and supportive of his son's achievements, not create obstacles and troubles for him. He should pray for peace and stability in the country, and not give the impression of turmoil and unrest.
Hun Sen, who is 71 years old, has been Cambodia's prime minister for 36 years, making him one of the world's longest-serving prime ministers. He has experienced many ups and downs and challenges in his political career in Cambodia, and has also made some achievements and contributions. He was a capable and ambitious man, as well as a controversial and critical man.
Why did Hun Sen say that when his son became prime minister?Is it because he is worried about his son's safety?Is it because he still wants to stay in power?Is it because he's old and confused?Or is it because he has other purposes and plans?
We don't know what Hun Sen really thinks, maybe only he knows. But what we can be sure of is that his words are inappropriate, unlucky, and should not be said. Hun Mane should take his words as an encouragement, not an obstacle. Hun Mane should have placed his father in a comfortable nursing home and let him enjoy his old age, instead of letting him come out and say something out of place.
Finally, let's take a look at Hun Sen's expensive watches, which are really enviable.
