"We have strengthened our police presence at all levels to observe and monitor the daily activities to guard against terrorism and all other criminals acts," he told Xinhua by phone.
"We want to ensure the safety and security for the public and wish for a successfully election process," he said.
In addition, he appealed to all political parties to respect the ethics for dignity before, during and after the election, adding that all people are expected not to make violence either.

According the National Election Committee ( NEC), across the country there are 1,621 communes and 12 political parties will compete for commune chief positions with three-year-long terms.
The Cambodian People's Party will join the election in all the 1,621 communes, the opposition Sam Rainsy party, in 1,596 communes, the co-ruling Funcinpec party in 1,459 communes and the just-established Prince Ranaridth Party in 1,435 communes and the Nationalist Progressive Party in one commune.

Shouldn't provincial mayors be elected?
ReplyDeleteYou can elect anything you want.
ReplyDeleteJust keep in mind that election,
preparation, registration, ...,
and monitoring are not free.
I don't know the exact cost, but
I estimate this election cost
about 5 - 8 US$ per head.
I last heard they expect about
1/2 the population to paticipate.
So if you do the math, 8 multiply
by 7,000,000, you will get 56
millions US$ which is over 10%
of our tax revenue, and that is
just one election.
Now, if you want to have each
of the paliarmentarian elected
individually and we need 126
parliarmentarians, just take
the 126 multiply by 56 millions
US$ (as shown) above, then
tell me if it is feasible enough,
okay?
One should know that if the NEC is controlled by the CPP, it doesn't matter how many police are there to monitor the election. Its only for show and tell. They (ccp) will find ways to manipulate the result.
ReplyDeleteLooks good in the news,though..
3000 polices to protect Cambodian people for voting for a communist candidate?ahahahaha Tell me that Cambodian people have a choice!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't even comprehend what the hell is going on in Cambodian politic under AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave leadership!!!
The damn NEC job is the help the CPP win the election as always!!!
To the outside world observers and they think that Cambodia has democracy!!!ahahahhahahah
Hey, voting is not khmer invention.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't like it take it back
to the west.
Actually, I am not even going to
vote. I decided just like khmers
have decided for centuries, that
is one leader forever and save
millions for food thereafter.
Keep in mind, we are not the UK,
France,..., we are KHMER. and
we like to keep it that way. Do
you mind?
To 3:43AM
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave told the United Nations in the first place if this bastard didn't want election system in Cambodia!!!Didn't AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave beg the United Nations to come in Cambodia and started the peace process with the free election 1993??? When the Prince Ran No Good won, AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave stage a coup to take back his power!ahahahhahahha
AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave is too smart for himself when talking about free and fair election!!!ahah
Hey, you want our people to die
ReplyDeleteof starvation or something?
We tell them whatever they want
to hear so that we get to money
to survive. Keep, in mind that
Pol Pot didn't leave us anything
in his wills, okay?
If just for Khmer people alone, there're plenty of resources to live wonderful life, but more than 4 million Yuan are grabbing food from Khmers that's why.
ReplyDeleteSo what's about Pol Pot? He was created by Yuan wasn'the?
Well, how many khmer people are
ReplyDeletewe talking about?
I don't care who created Pol Pot,
but he didn't leave us anything
in his wills.
Yuan created Pol Pot then Yuan knew the answer to your question, unless you are Yuan, thus you know the answer.
ReplyDelete3,000 cops to be deployed just to threathen the people to vote for the CPP, not to secure the election. If the election free and fair the CPP will melt as sult salt. And Ah HUN SEN must face the conviction.
ReplyDeleteWould you rather the polices to
ReplyDeletestay out?
Anyway, there will be media and
oppositions in every spot. Just
hope they got the skills to
monitor things. If they don't,
I can say is too bad, unless
you got a better idea.
The saddest thing is that the police of Nguyen Van Son Hoc Lungdy won't touch the CPP no matter how many crimes those CPP committed, unless any member of CPP want to break away from the Mafia like Heng Pov then that CPP will be hunted down.
ReplyDeleteHey, what is the use to procecute
ReplyDeleteHun Sen? Do you think you can?
Okay, ASSUMING that he is guity of
a crime that you suggested. First,
many of our judges is going to look
under every every rock and stone
to find flaws in your charge, so
you need to do a perfect
proscecution. Otherwise, he'll walk
free.
Now, assuming that succeed with
you charge and got him 20 years
in Prey Sor. Do you think you can
keep him in there? Noway Jose,
The King will grand him a pardon
and he'll be out free again.
You are wasting your engergy
on the impossible. You better
channel it to help the poor, dude.
As I said before, It aint the
end of the world because we have
a few laws. And you are not helping
anyone. you are creating more
flaws to make it worse for
everyone, get it?
