Sralanh Khmer stops its publication

Translated from Khmer by Socheata

The Sralanh Khmer (Love Khmer) newspaper which supports the Sam Rainsy Party stopped its publication since the end of last week, claiming that a phone threat was made against the Angkor printing shop, ordering it to stop printing the Sralanh Khmer newspaper. The Mekong Times reported that the stop of the publication of Sralanh Khmer on Saturday was made because an official from the ministry of information ordered the print shop to stop printing the newspaper. However, the ministry of information rejected this news. Khieu Kanharith, spokesman for the government, said that he did not order the stopping of Sralanh Khmer’s publication. Khieu Kanharith said that this story was made up, and that near the election, people always raised this issue. Some rumors explained that the temporary stop of the Sralanh Khmer was due to the fact that Thach Ket, the newspaper publisher, resigned from the SRP and joined the CPP. On the other hand Thach Ket is currently in Kampuchea Krom, he is expected to return back to Cambodia on Monday. Whether the newspaper will re-open again or not, this issue will not be resolved until Thach Ket is back in Cambodia first.

CPP is playing all tricks to absorb and destroy their opponent. This political game has originated from Communism, not from democrat. Democratic political game will compete to bring prosperity to the nation, but dictatorship political game will try to eliminate their opponent.

Srolanh Khmer is still with SRP, but it has some issue with threatening and other technical problems.

Sralanh Khmer represents a vocal voice against injustices, dictatorship, but more importantly it represents an anti-Hun Sen's voice. If the report is true that its editor, Thach Ket, is joining the CPP it would regrettable indeed. But if Thack Ket is indeed joining the CPP it should not be a big concern for the SRP. There are many newspapers which still support the SRP, like Moneaksekar Khmer etc. It is not the end of the world for th SRP.

The PM Hun Sen and the PPC well did to launch public offers of purchases, as in stock market, on other members of the political parties of oppositions.

This strategy of the public offer of purchase of the PPC on his politics competitors and that aims to increase his party of market on khmer political life bears fruit.

Bravo Mr. Hun Sen. You are a genius of the political one.

Ah Tha Hun Sen himself just recently made a statement urging all his "party members not to use threats" This incident proves again that this fucker is not to be trusted. Just another one of his under cover sly tactic to be on top again

Yeah, and don't trust your parent or teachers either when they instruct you not to use threat, okay?
