The supplement [to The Cambodia Daily] continues to be pulled by police officers from vending kiosks on Tuesday 20 May. This measure started on Monday 19 May. The authorities blames the 4-page publication – which was launched on Friday 16 May by Bernard Krisher, the founder of The Cambodia Daily – of not having a proper license allowing it to be published in the kingdom. Khieu Kanharith, the minister of Information, confirmed this issue, saying: “We consider The Burma Daily to be a different publication from The Cambodia Daily. It must have an authorization beforehand prior to its publication. On Monday 19 May, instead of a request, we saw the publication of its second edition. It is an illegal edition.” These criticisms were rejected by Bernard Krisher, who was interviewed on Monday evening by the club of Cambodian journalists, saying: “The Burma Daily, financially funded by a US foundation, is not illegal. I hope that the government will respect the freedom of the press.” In an op-ed published on Friday 16 May in The Burma Daily, Bernard Krisher explained that he wanted to give “the Burmese people the possibility to express themselves, but also to be able to obtain free and independent information.” The Burma Daily publishes articles on Burma printed by the International news media.

That was because you want to advertise the so-called Burma Daily. If you just included the news about Burma in Cambodia Daily on the international news section without a big title as such, there would be no problem. If you really care about freedom of expression, why did have to care about advertising Burma Daily?
Is there any newspaper on earth holding two titles as such Cambodia Daily and Burma Daily together?
What a Cambodia dictatorship regime!!
Those are the orders of ah traitor Hun Sen.
Down and Out ! ah Hun Sen, youn servant, a third-year- elementary-school- educated Prime Minister with 28 years of holding power, is the Criminal against humanity in Cambodia and is a former Khmer Rouge soldier in Khmer Rouge Regime, from CPP (Communist Pro youn Party)
