Sam Rainsy, the "acting president" of the Supreme Court-dissolved Cambodia National Rescue Party, has called on migrant workers in Thailand to take time off work and be ready in the Kingdom on November 9 to welcome him back.

Rainsy made the appeal during an interview with Voice of America (VOA) on Tuesday.

He said his networks in Cambodia would inform people of where to gather on his return.

“Brothers and sisters in Thailand should be ready too. A huge number of people, millions of people in Thailand, can allocate leave and we can be in Cambodia all together on November 9,” he said.
