Crime Reported Down, as Police Eye ElectionsBy Chiep Mony, VOA Khmer
Original report from Phnom Penh
13 March 2008
Prime Minister Hun Sen warned police to ensure peaceful elections in June, while cautioning against political parties who have called for "people power" change in the government.
The prime minister issued his warning in a closing address at the Ministry of Interior's annual meeting, where police reported a nationwide fall in major crime.
"Don't play people power," he told the gathered officials, saying Cambodia was not the the Ukraine, Indonesia or the Philippines.
It would take more than 2,000 people to topple the governemnt, he said, when there are 8 million voters. If the ruling Cambodian People's Party loses the election, he will turn over the government, and he appealed to the would-be winner to form a government quickly.
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy said Thursday he would accept free-and-fair results in July's national polls, but if the election was not free and fair, he would urge "people power."
"Only dictators are afraid of people power," he said.
Hun Sen meanwhile appealed to police to be cautious about crime during the election, even as the ministry reported a fall in major crime in 2007.
The Ministry of Interior reported this week that major crimes like murder, rape and armed robbery decreased last year, compared to 2006.
Murders dropped from 458 in 2006 to 408 in 2007; reported rapes dropped from 262 to 250; and armed robberies fell from 713 to 641.
"This is a source of pride for Cambodia," said Lt. Gen. Sok Phal, deputy chief of national police, after the close of the meeting.

Lady Psychic's prediction :

SRP will be the big winner in the election.
Hun Sen will declaire war against Khmer Democrats.
People Power will rise up against the tyranny regime that ruled Cambodia & its People for 29 yrs.
Yuon Hanoi & CPP of Hun Sen cannot resist the People Power once we has seen in early 19th century,1820.
Sdach Korn Akak Moha Sena Decho Hun Sen will be head off and bury in his FREE COFFIN that he has promised to offert free to any Khmer who dares against Yuon Hanoi.
Some say Hun Sen does believe in Black Magic,Khmer Woodo-Woodo,if so...this is his last time in 2008.Enjoy more as much as he can before his time runs out.
Lord Buddha say :" Everything is Impermanence ".
And Hun Sen has to know that he's not invincible !!!!!
About time people power is mention in Cambodia. They have done this in Philipine and Thailand. This is the time we should do the same. Go SRP!
Don't dream Hun Sen! all people who wote for you are not all supporting you. They vote for you because of the intimidation Machine you have installed a all levels of the Country.
You are just exploiting the fear, the poverty of Cambodian people!
When people are well educated they can change their idea and the Leader.
You are just AH Peal, a hooligan,a killer!full of sins in your mind. AH TEP VONG, Lon Gnet cannot help you get rid of these sins.
Don't hold your breath, Ah Khmer-Yuon Maggot Feeders, just keep on breathing in the sense of Yuons' shit days in and days out, if you know what good for ya.
PM Hun Xen has choice to choose from either one: "FREE & FAIR ELECTION" or "PEOPLE POWER".
