Along the markets and cafés, during recess and in the streets, Cambodian people talk about politics, without any taboo restriction, and with such an eloquence that politicians would envy them. Up until 27 July, Ka-set will report freely and with sarcasm words heard during the election campaign, collected directly “pi nis, pi nous” (here and there).

A country song
Sung in schools and high schools in the city, a very popular and caustic kid song is making the round among the school children. For now, only three parties are being mocked, but with the fertile imagination of these irreverent children, they will probably reach other parties also, once they can find the right rhymes for them. Here are the first couplets:
“Vote for number four [Buon in Khmer, the CPP numner], let the Yuons enter,
Vote for Funcinpec, they work less [Thveu kar tech] and eat a lot [Si chroeun],
Vote for Sam Rainsy, shut down the electricity [Akisani], light up the candles [Phloeung tean, the SRP party logo]”…
When the truth spilled out from the children’s mouth
Heard in the street of Phnom Penh: A large convoy of CPP supporters is parading along the streets of Toeuk Thla district in Phnom Penh, they shouted very loudly: “Long life the CPP!” Passers-by echoed the sentiments by repeating the CPP supporters, a young little girl is taken by the game, but to everyone’s surprise, she suddenly spitefully shouted: “And vote for SRP!” before she was scolded by her very embarrassed mother.

children are the future of cambodia and the world at large, please treat them well and let them be. whitney houston's song, the children of the world. god bless cambodia.
The child is understanding about her future. She knows that only SRP party can give her potential future of what she want be.
1:54am, don't you know that we know that everytime someone mentioned the name srp or whatever, it is politicizing. therefore, how could we get serious with you? god bless cambodia.
The CPP will protected Khmer from all evil. Khmer Rouge is a good example of that.
2:03am Yes, I understand fully about politic. Politician is just like a sale person. The only different between the two are sale person sale things and politician sale ideas. When you buy things from the sale persons you should get experience of who is an honest sale person that worth with the money you spend on what you buy. As for politician, you should get an ideas about what they say and what they do. And then you should be able to decide who your best condidate to vote for. I believe cambodian children is better educated than their parents and they understand better about their future. As for you want to get serious with me that is fine just let me know in what way. As long as we both can help our country, cambodia, and khmer people.
2:37am cpp are also khmer rouge.
therefore:
Khmer rouge = khmer ruin
khmer cpp = khmer rob
Yeah, but CPP had been changed by Buddha to delivered Khmer People from the evil Khmer Rouge who were created by the Stupid Republic Party (SRP).
CPP is the aich and noam of Khmer Rough. The unworthy remnants and left over craps. The Buddha can deliver Aungulimear from killing, but it cannot help CPP from greed and treason. They are beyond help. Thus the Khmer Nation Party and later changed to the SRP party was created as a result of the people's desire to rid Cambodia of the evil corruption shit left over of the Khmer Rough (the CPP).
And not the other way around. Kid. Look like you born yesterday or something!

You are living in denial, 5:13. Not everyone is living in the farm anymore, in case you haven't noticed it; and the city is more crowded than ever before. It drive me off the wall!
that's not how you solve problem, you don't sovle problem by denying it, you solve it by giving it all you attention and find a good solution that is fair and balance for everybody, not just on your own liking. remember the rule of laws, whether one likes it or not, law is law and must respect it, otherwise, they are not welcome in cambodia. god bless cambodia.
I couldn't agree more, but the problem is Ah Scam Rainxy constantly keep on twisting our rule of law. So what do you expect?
Mate 6:57AM. In our country there is no rule of law for high ranking only for the poor. I think we need to vote for SRP for a change.
CPP DID NOT SAVE KHMER PEOPLE FROM EVIL,INSTEAD,THEY BROUGHT IN THE LAND HUNGRY YOUN TO CAMBODIA JUST SO CPP CAN BE A YOUN'S PUPPET WHILE THE YOUN IS MAKING DIRTY PLAN TO MAKE CAMBODIA AS PART OF THE UNION OF INDOCHINA UNDER YOUN CONTROL,AND THIS WAS THE BIG DREAM OF UNCLE HO CHI MIN.
KHMER ROUGH HAD OPENLY KILL ALOT OF KHMER AND THEY SEEM TO ACCEPT WHAT THEY DID.AND THE CPP HAD ALSO SECRETLY KILLED AND ABUSED A LOT OF KHMER PEOPLE,BUT THEY NEVER WANT TO ACCEPT THE FACT.
THESE ARE THE TYPE OF LEADERS WHO HAD DESTROYED CAMBODIA IN THE PAST.WE NEED A BIG CHANGE IN CAMBODIA,WE NEED TO HAVE A PEOPLE POWER WHO CAN FORCE CORRUPTED LEADER TO STEP DOWN.
POLY + TACTICS = BENEFITS TO COUNTRY.
POWER + TACTICS = BENEFITS TO POCKETS.
SIMPLE MATHEMATICS.
NEANG SA
And since when did you just find out that simple Math?
What an idiot?
Well then, we should send Ah Savage Infidel Scam Rainxy back on his way to Zimbabwe. He doesn't have a single tactic in his head. He'll not be able to accomplish anything here but to cause more damages on top of what he has already don't in the recent decades.
Mate 1:05AM let me make sure you know what I want you to do.
Vote for SRP like me to see if he can lead the country.
I will vote for SRP this time.
No way, Jose, the last time we did that with Lon Nol, we got fucked big time.
