Why you should not vote CPP

Thu, 24 Jul 2008
Opinion by Chhan D. Touch

Within the next few days, Cambodians will again come to a crossroad that determines the future of their country. As a Cambodian living abroad, I hope that they will make their decision to choose the right leader and future for their country.

Since 1985, Cambodia has been ruled by a ruthless former Khmer Rouge, Hun Sen and his associates, Chea Sim and Heng Samrin. From afar, Cambodia is prosperous and developed. In closer view, Cambodia is falling apart, edging toward the eternal disaster. Corruption is widespread throughout levels of Cambodians society. Fear is used for submission. National properties are sold and profits are in the pockets of the rulers. I fear for the future of my country. Thus, I appeal to you, my compatriots, to vote for the right leader who will save our country, the SRP.

Importantly, you should NEVER support CPP. I choose 3 simple reasons why you should not vote CPP – a Vietnamese puppet: Personal gain, fear, and ignorance.

1- Personal gain – “many” people join CPP for personal gain, in wealth, power, or business. Bribery becomes a norm of life. If you need anything done, you need to bribe someone. The culture of corruption has now dominated Cambodian society and none cares about others. Several years ago, a Forbes’ magazine reported of the “world emerging richest person.” Surprisingly, Cambodian MP Hun Sen and his family were worth then, 2-3 years ago, $4.5 billion dollars (4,500 million dollars), approximately 5 times gross national budget of Cambodia. He became one of the richest, beating even the Queen Elizabeth of England. As Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in the world, begging for donations from many international institutions, where does he get all these wealth and money? When is the last time that anyone checks the national debt? About 6 years ago, report indicated, due to enormous foreign debt, each newborn Cambodian is $3,500 in debt already. How is about now?

2- Fear - CPP employs fear, drumming that chaos will take place if it loses the election. The rule of law will purify the society and restore Cambodia to better home for everyone. Corruptors should be fearful for destroying Cambodia. If they have done nothing wrong, they should not fear anyone. Righteousness will always vindicate. If Cambodians must overcome this lie and vote for the right leader. This is their country, too. In a TRUE democratic country, the transition of power comes smoothly and peacefully.

3- Ignorance – CPP intends to keep people in the darkness and under their control. Ignorant individuals can be easily convinced. Thus, mass media and newspapers are controlled and manipulated by CPP. They fear the facts since they will bring forth the truthful lights. Learn the fact and choose your vote carefully.

How long are you willing to live in darkness, poverty, fear, and vulnerability? Cambodian future should not be determined by a group of corruptors. It is now time to take back our country. Or, ours will face eternal doom.

Personally, I have chosen to support SRP for I know that this party will restore Cambodia to her glory past. I urge you, my compatriots, to do the right thing by voting for SRP. I have done by duty as a Cambodian, dedicating and devoting my heart and soul for the future of Cambodia by doing whatever I can to support SRP in the USA as well as Cambodia. I have done mine. Have you done yours?

can anyone confirm that Hun Sen and his family is worth 4.5 billion US dollars. To me it's kinda hard to believe that they are worth that much. Anyone got any links, websites, that I can read about their wealth....

DEAR COMPATRIOTS,

AS I HAD GUESSED, HUN XEN HAS WAITED THE END OF THE ELECTION THAT HE IS SURE HE WILL WIN,TO RESTART THE NEGOCIATION WITH SAMAK THOUGH THE FUTURE NEGOCIATION IS BOUND TO FAIL IF KHMER GOVERNMENT DON'T MAKE SOME CONCESSIONS TO SIAM.
DEAR COMPATRIOTS, HE WILL SAY THAT THE AGREEMENT WOULD BRING US MORE LAND THAN BEFORE. (HE HAD CLAIMED THE SAME THING ABOUT THE SUPPLEMENTAL TREATY WITH YUON IN 2006, AND PUT OUR PATRIOTS IN THE PRISON FOR PROTESTATION AGAINST).

THE PTRIOTS WHO WILL DARE TO PROTEST THE NEXT AGREEMENT MUST EXPECT TO BE IN PREY SAR AGAIN.

HE SOLD OUR LAND TO SIAM TO EXPLOIT OUR TEMPLE WITH THAKSIN, SAMAK FOR HIS OWN BUSINESS INTEREST and let us starve to death..

HIS FIRST BETRAYAL WAS ON 11th NOVEMBER 2006
IN SIGNING THE SUPPLEMENTAL TREATY, HE HAD PAID TRIBUTE TO HIS YUON MASTER, OUR LAND, OUR ISLE KOH TRAL, OUR SEA!
THIS MAN IS A TRAITOR TO OUR NATION! WE WILL BE SOON CHAM AND KAMPUCHEA KROM.

REMOVE HIM BY VOTING OUR HERO SAM RAINSY IN THE 26 JULY ELECTION!

PAD fooling the people
I cannot believe the lunatics at the PAD have actually got the Thai people and the Puea Pandin party fooled over the Preah Vihear temple.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The line was drawn by the French in 1904, the International Court of Justice ruled on it in 1962,

�and the new line agreed by the Thai and Cambodian government actually brings more land into Thailand than the old map.

If the Cambodian government is happy to concede some land to the Thais while retaining the temple that is, and has always been, on Cambodian soil, then it is a win for the Thai government.�

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is just another example of the PAD stirring up issues trying to validate its existence. The fact that Puea Pandin party has weighed into it is disappointing; you would expect them to know better.

As for the Democrats, I hope they find the same demise the Australian Democrats recently have. Throwing stones at the government is good fun, but if you are never going to get a chance to run the country then it's a choice you can make without fear of having to prove you can do a better job.

The last Australian Democrats were voted out in November from the Senate and, as of July 1, the Democrats will be dead in Australia. Hopefully, the Thai Democrats will become history in the near future.

Well.. my answer is CPP.
Not Hun Sen only.
4.5 billions..
there's a lots of money.
Who make the assessment?
Members of SRP... or specialists.

How can someone that Sam Rainsy won't be like Hun Sen?
For example, the bro of SR, Sam Emra is one of the corrupted man in Funcinpec.
Ok, let the dead sleep tranquillo...

Dear Chhan D. Touch,
I am writing to share with you for the improvement of Democracy in Cambodia. I think what you wrote is not sure, just the provoking because you don't have evident to show us clearly(the refecence: when? which page which Forbes magazine's publication?)Anyway i agree with Global witness that showed us about The Family Tree topic. However, Everything that you wrote, it's just personnal opinion but you are not politician, so you can not call us vote this party or your party!! It is Cambodian right to joint or
vote any party that they prefer in the democratic country.

I am not a CPP member but I correct you what you are wrong. I know you are a SamRainSy party member but it's your right to joint or follow your party that you like. But I also don't like the SamRainSy too, why?

1) the name of party is name of person (Non Democratic in the party).
2) the chief party is chief forever(No manda of chief party or prime minister candidat).
3) cheating people by treat an illness without pay money and make labor for all the people in whole the country and so on (no country in world can do it perfeclly).

Therefore you must stop provoke Cambodian people to follow or dislike any political party, please let them think with their considering before they vote for their leader on sunday this week.

yours respectfully,
Khmer Civilization.

Sadly most Cambodians in Cambodia are incapable of thinking beyond what they see before their eyes or pure ignorant. They use their eyes to think rather than relying on their brains for analysing of the situation they are in. If they see the baits and the colourful surroundings they say it's good, the country is progressing in the right direction.

Undoubtedly Hun Sen and his families and his loyal friends are wealthy, but I'm not sure of the correct figures. So my message for the Cambodians inside Cambodia is that:

VOTE for CPP if you:

1. Want Hun Sen and his cliques to be richer, grab and evict people from their lands.

2. Want a career for your kids as a farmer or cow boy.

3. Accept handouts every five-year from the CPP.

4. Don't bother to think about national sovereignty because strong man Hun Sen will take care of it all by letting the Thais and Viet protect it for Khmer.

5. Don't give a f..k or care about others except yourself.

6. Happy to be poor and live/die like animals.

7. Like showing off with your wealth and look down on others even they are your relatives.

8. Don't cry or complain about the injustice impose upon you.

Make this clear 8:19,
How could you establish a party and build it strong when your CPP determined to tear it down all the time? It's like you plant a tree: water the plant, and take care and do all the stuff so as the plant survive and then someone like you secretely let the cows and oxes to eat and swallow the plant. Or you are saying that your CPP never ever employ imtimidating or bulling styles (paid-protesters and so-called loyal for money-police to crack down the protesters of the good causes for the country). I don't think you BLINDLY SAY NO TO ALL THESE CASES.

Therefore, why Sam Rainsy adopted a name of a person because you CPP used all possible means and methods to confuse the voters and eliminate this party. Make sense????

Next here are my questions:

1. Are you blind enough not see that the corruption is widespread everywhere-on the street, at public work sector, people working to make extra money from corruption but not performing their duties and neglect resposibilites all the time)

2. Are you blind and deaf not to realized that the anti-corruption law drafted for a long long time and never adopted as laws?

3. Are you educated enough to say that this country is rules by laws? Impunity, Non-transparency, very partisan and no quality work and etc!!!!!!! And who are to blame? Hun Sen should call himself THE LEADER FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!

Let's don't argue. Perhaps you can come up with better logical explaination, but guess what?? Can CPP give a dateline for all of these laws to adopt and implement them??? I'm sure your CPP will produce the same bullshits as they usually did in the past!!!!!

I will vote for my bother SRP!!!!

I want my children live in a un-corrupted country and have the right to live. If you don't think about yourself please think about your child in the future how?

But please my bother SRP, Don't miss your promise if you're real Korn Khmer Snerha Cheart, try to collect the high educated persons and have the real khmer blood to work with you to bring this country up from the darkness.

Don't try to do the stupid thing when the very tense situation happen. Try to discus with your high educated peoples as much as you can and then decided quietly with your brilliance idea. But every actions or decisions, please take the all the Khmer peoples into account.

From generation to generation, the Cambodia's land away lose by her leader to the neighbor. Please keep in mind that you will not follow this step again brother. You have to build your ambition to enlarge our land but also take the khmer peoples into account.

Finally, you have to keep in mind that, your mission is to serve the Nation and your People. But take care your health too my brother.

I absolutely believe in you and fully hope you can do it brother.

And wish you win the 27 July Vote peacefully.

From one out of 11 Million Real Khmer Blood People.

7:56 AM,

I think that is true because all business in Cambodia is shared by Hun Sen's family. It is from light industry(garment factory) to heavy insdustry (oil company, mineral company).
If you don't believe me, go to Samlot area you will know that a S Korean company is exploiring germs stone and gold mine there. Ask people around there you will know

PM Hun Sen is our hero liberator, and he will win the election with landslide!

If Hun Sen is your hero & liberator you must be part of his corrupted clan or illegalViet immigrant in Cambodia... that will be send back to Vietnam or should be put in Goal.

It a bit difficult to beleive that Hun Sen Win by a "landslide" when the majority of supporters base on the all the picture taken are supporting SRP side.... it may be SRP WILL WIN by a landslide instead,

Cambodia has cancer and dying.The viruses are called CPP and yuons.CPP allowed yuons to come and live freely in our country and the numbers are increasing day by day.CPP seem to forget that yuons are expansionists.In the long run,yuons population will outnumbered the khmers.When that happen,yuons feel that they are stronger and no longer obey khmer's rule or law, and when khmers try to enforce the law on them they will rise up or revolt, same thing already happened to the state of TEXAS .CPP is so dangerous to our survival.It 's time to vote them out if khmers want to stay as a country in the world.It's not to late yet.Destiny is in your hand khmer people.
