Hey, fuckhead.
Ah Hun will go down!
CPP chief, PM Hun Sen, Hor Nam Hong, Chea Sim, ..., and workers has the right to vote too. If they are not allowed to be at the voting boot, how can they vote?
they can go to vote just as other people, but they violate the election rules while they stand their telling people they must vote; why didn't just left and drag their asses home after casting their ballots?
correct5ion: telling people whom they must vote for
Yeah but why does people have to vote for someone who intimidating them. I won't.
At any rate, I think it is good to have a village chief there to help people with question, and there is no report stating that they tell people who to vote for. They may tell some of their friends, but that is not a crime. I tell my friends who to vote for too.
Monitors say Cambodian poll flawed

Despite improvements in electoral processes, Cambodia's recent election was flawed and did not meet key standards, international monitors said.
Prime Minister Hun Sen's ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) won nearly 60 per cent of the vote in early returns from Sunday's poll, according to a partial count by Cambodian election authorities.
But the poll was marred by the CPP's domination of media coverage, the improper deletion of people from registration lists so they could not vote and other irregularities, said a preliminary report by 130 European Union election monitors.
"While the campaign was generally conducted in a more peaceful and open environment compared to previous elections, the 2008 National Assembly Elections have fallen short of a number of key international standards for democratic elections," said Martin Callanan, who lead the EU observers.
"Ultimately, it's up to the Cambodian people to accept or reject the results," Callanan said, adding that the EU would issue a more detailed report with recommendations in October.
The Asian Network For Free Elections (ANFREL), however, called for an investigation and "a serious penalty" for manipulation of the vote.
"The election was maybe free, but not fair at all," said Somsri Hananuntasuk, head of ANFREL's election monitoring mission to Cambodia.
The main problem was people being deleted from voter lists, while there also needed to be limits on campaign financing and the ruling party's control of media, she said.
The CPP has claimed victory, saying it captured at least 90 of the 123 seats in parliament, giving them more than a two-thirds majority.
If the official results confirm the party's own tally the opposition would have little room to manoeuvre against Hun Sen, who at 55 has ruled Cambodia for 23 years.
The four minority parties rejected the outcome, accusing the CPP of fiddling with the voter rolls to ensure their victory.
Hun Sen has vowed to remain in power until he is 90 years old, and has relentlessly undercut his political rivals.
Ah Hun must go down!
In short and regardless of whatsoever, Hun Xen is every infamous as an evil.
Cambodia's poll 'did not meet key international standards'
17 minutes ago
PHNOM PENH (AFP) — Despite improvements in electoral processes, Cambodia's recent election was flawed and did not meet key standards, international monitors said Tuesday.
Prime Minister Hun Sen's ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) won 59.6 percent of the vote in Sunday's election, compared with nearly 21 percent for the nearest rival, the opposition Sam Rainsy Party, according to a partial count by Cambodian electoral authorities.
But the poll was marred by the CPP's domination of media coverage, the improper deletion of people from registration lists so they could not vote, and other irregularities, said a preliminary report by 130 European Union election monitors.
"While the campaign was generally conducted in a more peaceful and open environment compared to previous elections, the 2008 National Assembly Elections have fallen short of a number of key international standards for democratic elections," said Martin Callanan, who led the EU observers.
"Ultimately, it's up to the Cambodian people to accept or reject the results," Callanan said, adding that the EU would issue a more detailed report with recommendations in October.
The Asian Network For Free Elections (ANFREL) called for an investigation and "a serious penalty" for manipulation of the vote.
"The election was maybe free, but not fair at all," said Somsri Hananuntasuk, head of ANFREL's election monitoring mission to Cambodia.
The main problem was people being deleted from voter lists, while there also needed to be limits on campaign financing and the ruling party's control of media, she said.
The EU calculated that 50,000 voters were left off rolls, but Callanan said that would not have greatly affected the election since early results show a large majority for the CPP.
"Any irregularities that were proved would clearly have to be on a very large scale in order to invalidate that result," he said.
However, the four minority parties rejected the outcome, accusing the CPP of fiddling with the voter rolls to ensure their victory.
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy estimated that one million out of 8.1 million registered voters had been cut from the rolls. He said his party members observed 50 to 100 people at each of the country's 15,000 polling stations had been unable to vote.
"The large-scale irregularities here can change the result of the election. I'm disappointed that such a so-called expert could make such a mistake," Sam Rainsy told AFP Tuesday outside the EU's press conference.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights noted lower violence from previous elections but said in a Tuesday statement it had observed "threats, intimidation and inducements directed against political activists" to get them to change parties.
The CPP has claimed victory, saying it captured at least 90 of the 123 seats in parliament, giving them more than a two-thirds majority.
Local rights groups have expressed concern that if the CPP did secure a majority there would be fewer checks and balances in the country's fledgling democracy.
At 55, Hun Sen has ruled Cambodia for 23 years and has vowed to remain in power until he is 90. He had been widely tipped to win amid a booming economy and nationalist sentiment sparked by a border feud with Thailand.
A fool is just like that. Blind greed/ambition makes a fool think this way:"Long is the night to him who is awake; long is a mile to him who is tired; long is life to the foolish who do not know the true laws," said the Buddha.
you know if the oppositions are not competent enough to have gather those people who were at risk of having names removed (which for some they know months in advance) and following up with their cases before the election to make sure they got their names reinstated then the oppositions haven't really vested much interest in their voters. So they deserve to lose.
Let's see what the US and EU plan to say and do about this fraud election. Are they going to announce it's a fair election? If they do so, it means they're not democratic countries. Then, why the world need to listen to them?
We don't believe CPP can win Phnom-Penh and all of provinces, villages. We believe CPP already has voting boxes ready to switch.
If Khmer people don't bring down this gangster, you will see what happen to Cambodia in the future.
I, personally, lost support of all opposition parties. Let's CPP do whatever they want because no one can win this superman, Hun Sen. Unless the US invades Cambodia. Otherwise, you won't see democratic Cambodia.
8:49 PM
The EU or US will do absolutely nothing regarding the electoral fraud.
Were they (EU & US)care when more than a million khmer people massacred? If they did not care then, why the hell they care now?
These clowns are merely here (Cambodia) for their greed of national interests -- nothing else!
Also, if we do not have any interests for these clowns, they weren't be here wasting their taxpayers' dollars.
I'm certain due to my aggressive assertion, this son-of-bitch from the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh will make a threaten to anyone, includin me, because you're against these son-of-bitches.
Quite honestly, the U.S. Embassy should have been build in Cambodia, or have the G-man's office in Phnom Penh.
Khmer homeless because of U.S. injustice.
There is in the Paris agreement that UN need to reforme the police and Army of Cambodia so no force can suppress Cambodian like Pol pot time!
And know you see what you are deliveried, UN? Just modern Pol Pot, go ask the death since we are ;iving Cambodian were fool by you, UN!
Hour came to assess general election of last July 28th.
The result showed clearly that the leaders of the political's opposition parties lost politically.
Their strategies of conquest of the power by urns in the democratic frame failed.
The Cambodian people have no faith and trust in their political electoral’s programs.
All the political leaders of the opposition have to give their resignation and give up their place to the new politicains for coming 5 years.
Yhis is a dog's bark.
EU criticises Cambodia election
By Guy Delauney
BBC News, Phnom Penh
EU monitors said thousands of people were prevented from voting
Monitors from the European Union say Cambodia's recent general election fell short of international standards.
They said the governing party dominated the media and the National Election Committee (NEC), and tens of thousands of people were disenfranchised.
But they also praised the smooth running of what was described as a "technically good" election.
The EU observers were among 17,000 local and international monitors who observed the election.
While their findings were a mixed bag, there was certainly more criticism than praise.
The key issue was impartiality and the role of the governing Cambodian People's Party (CPP).
Large majority
The EU team said the CPP had made "consistent and widespread" use of state resources for its own campaigning efforts.
The party dominated media coverage to an unacceptable degree, and the presence of officials connected to the CPP on the NEC compromised that institution's independence.
The monitors said the NEC had disenfranchised 50,000 registered voters by allowing their names to be removed from the electoral roll.
Poll shows improvements
But the EU's chief observer, Martin Callanan, said that had not affected the result of the election.
"Under the provisional results that have been published, the CPP clearly has a very large majority," he said.
"Therefore any irregularities which were proved would have to be on a very large scale in order to invalidate that result.''
The opposition parties beg to differ.
Four of them have rejected the provisional results, which give the CPP an overall majority.
They claim that hundreds of thousands of their supporters were unable to vote and that similar numbers of ineligible people were allowed to cast ballots.
Hun Sen Worst nightmare
After their bitter electoral failures and without appeal; all the leaders of the political parties of opposition have to resign! Because they showed their incompetence and their mediocrity in politics.
