CPP-controlled gasoline companies making huge profits (2)
Tela and Sokimex, Cambodia's two major gasoline companies, both of them owned by top CPP leaders and their families or business associates, are making huge profits in the wake of the continuous decrease in oil price on the international market. Not only those companies usually avoid paying any taxes to the state (government-organized smuggling so that only foreign-owned companies pay custom duties on imported petroleum products) but they haven't passed on to consumers the recent decrease in the price of crude oil on the world market. Gasoline price in Cambodia is currently 4,200 riels ($1.01) per liter at the retail level. It has not varied since early July 2006. But since early July, the price of crude oil has decreased from $75 to $60 per barrel (- 20%).
Ranariddh's wife, sisters and daughter opposed to the ousted Funcinpec president (2)
Ranariddh's legitimate wife Eng Marie Ranariddh, his elder sister Norodom Bopha Devi, his half-sister Norodom Arun Rasmei and his daughter Norodom Rattana Devi now clearly appear to be politically opposed to the ousted Funcinpec president. Many Cambodians ask themselves the following question: "If Ranariddh cannot unite his family, how can he unite his party, not to mention his country?"
Landless farmers disfranchised by election authorities (2)
Tens of thousands of landless farmers victims of land grabs and evictions have been disfranchised by the CPP-controlled election authorities at the commune level because they are suspected of sympathy for the opposition. They have lodged complaints at the National Election Committee with the support of the Sam Rainsy Party. The latest case is related to some 6,000 peasants in Battambang province's Bovel district.

Does this mean Princess Arun Rasmey is heading for a divorce?
Or The CPP is seeing red better than ever?
How about a zero chance for Princess want to be Phalla Ranarith?
Or better, yet his family want Ranarith back where he belong? and wants to steer him and Cambodia toward the right wing?
What would you do ladies? which direction are you going to go? You all already are so daring enough to cross His Majesty King Hun Sen by opposed this. What you are not going to sleep with your husband anymore? You don't care and sure of yourself? Bravo! or go to work as usual anymore? and Mary, you are still carrying the torch for your old husband? No. It couldn't be?, but I buy it. Well, show us some more. I want to see it. What?what? Do you all have in mind?
I think you just a straw fire!
Look The CPP, youmay try to win the royal family's attention, but you are not getting the right person. Put Rasmey & Mary are just thier connection. You only wining card is King Sihamoni. If you dare to loose that one too. You are done with us Khmers. You are fully Youn!
KI's question about Ranariddh's capability to run his family is interesting. It may also ask: if SRP is not even able to appoint a "proper" secretary general for the party, what could it do for the country?

FUNCINPEC Dismantled, Kem Sokha Neutralized, SRP Next
Prime Minister Hun Sen's masterful approach and strategy in pushing for FUNCINPEC to implode within and push for radical but most essential structural changes in the coalition partner's FUNCINPEC Party, would see a more organized and collaborative FUNCINPEC in the 2008 general elections. That the old party leadership (soon to be dismantled leadership) was subservient, corrupt and not the least interested in Cambodia's political affairs or the nation's development, along with that of the people's welfare are clear indicators that FUNCINPEC, without change, was doomed to be a non entity. Thus, what is expected in slightly less than two weeks will set the stage for restructuring the entire political climate of Cambodia and set the stage for several decades of sustained political stability, the key to everything else - from social, economic, security to financial stability.

Nhek Bunchay, Keo Puthreasmey are in Hun Sen's pocket... Where is Sam Rainsy now? Is he in the same pocket?..
