Exactly, and when Sam Rainsy was the Minority Leader it seemed like he caved to everything HE wanted. It came off like he and the CNRP Party is more about gaining power than actually helping people. He came off as a fake. I could be way off, but that's how it came off to me.
I think quite a few would agree with that, see this article in The Diplomat:
Sam Rainsy: The Coward? A closer look at Cambodia’s opposition leader in exile. (David Hutt June 23, 2016)
The Cambodia Daily journalists stopped short of calling Sam Rainsy a coward, but left few readers guessing by quoting Sok Eysan, spokesman of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP), who said in November: “[Rainsy] can’t take pride in himself as an equal to Aung San Suu Kyi. If he wants to be like her, he should be in prison for 20 years… In simple terms, he’s a coward.”
Such opprobrium is shared by others. “Mr. Rainsy is seen as a symbol of change in Cambodia, but he himself has never changed. He remains a coward, to be precise,” Ou Ritthy, a 28-year-old political science graduate, wrote on the youth-orientated political blog Politikoffee in November.
