Commemoration: First democratic elections organized in Cambodia exactly 14 years ago (1)
Today is the 14th anniversary of the first democratic elections ever organized in Cambodia. On May 23, 1993, the United Nations, through the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC), held general elections as stipulated by the October 23, 1991 Paris Peace Agreements. In 1993, there were facilities given to overseas Cambodians to take part in the poll. Special polling stations were organized in New York, Paris, Geneva and Canberra for Cambodians living in North America, Europe and Australia.
Most additional MP seats would go to SRP (2)
The ruling CPP and the government are reluctant to increase the number of National Assembly seats for the 2008 election in accordance with the election law because they know that most additional parliamentary seats would go to the opposition SRP. In particular, in several constituencies with only one seat each that is controlled by the CPP (Sihanoukville, Preah Vihear), the creation of a second seat as legally justified by the increase in the population over the last ten years, would benefit the SRP, which has become the country's second largest party.

All TV stations are controlled by the CPP (2)
All the seven TV stations operating in Cambodia are directly or indirectly, politically and/or financially controlled by the ruling CPP, which wants to make sure that no rival political parties have access whatsoever to the electronic media. CPP top leaders or their close relatives have a significant portion of the equity of most of the following television companies/stations: TVK (State-owned; channel 7); Phnom Penh Municipality (channel 3); Army (channel 5); Bayon (channel 27); Apsara (channel 11); Khmer TV (channel 9); CTN (channel 21).
Funcinpec to expel other parliamentarians (2)
After Prince Norodom Ranariddh, Prince Norodom Chakrapong, former Funcinpec Secretary-General Chhim Seak Leng, a number of other prominent Funcinpec members could be expelled from the oldest royalist party and would ipso facto lose their parliamentary seats. They are former Interior Co-Minister You Hockry, former CPP Interior Vice-Minister Sin (Pin) Sen who defected to Funcinpec in 1998, and Prince Norodom Sirivudh. Princess Norodom Vacheara has declared that she would leave politics soon.
Cambodian MP in Pakistan (1)
National Assembly member Tioulong Saumura was in Islamabad last week as a member of a team led by the Washington-based National Democratic Institute and charged with assessing the pre-election situation in Pakistan. General elections are expected to be held in that country by the end of this year. The delegation was received by the Prime Minister. More information at www.samrainsyparty.org

I told you so! All the fucken media outlet are controlled by the Vietcong slave CPP clan!!Good luck in promoting democracy in Cambodia!!
In the world, no developed or democratic countries have Ministry of Information, and the Minister work as the state spokeman too...only Cambodia has been employed such notorious person.
Communist nature is really afraid of the influence of media. They control the media such as TV stations and Radio Channels, but they cannot control the spirit of the people, the telephones, msg and internets...
In the near future, CPP will get a bad result through its nature of ignorant occupation and dictatorship.
Why CPP is ignorant?
Because this party has no intention at all to educate Cambodian people in ballancing their vision and judgement relating news consumption.
Why CPP is dictatorship?
Because they are enforcing Cambodian people to be ignorant, poor and respected them...not national law.
Now, only SRP is the hope for change in Cambodia!
Hey, you guys controlled the
internet and we controlled the
TV. What is so unfair about that?
Stop being such a greedy idiots, will ya?
