JAPANESE ELECTION OBSERVERS DID NOT DO THEIR HOMEWORK
There was a group of Japanese observers to monitor the July 27, 2008 national election in Cambodia. They spent a few days in our country, visited a number of polling stations, issued a statement congratulating the National Election Committee, and happily flew back to Japan. They saw nothing wrong with last month's election.
Having not done their homework before coming to Cambodia, they did not see the two main election flaws: countless illegitimate voters using ghost voters' names to inflate votes for the CPP, and countless legitimate non-CPP voters unable to cast their ballot because they were disenfranchised.
These two irregularities, which had a serious impact on the election outcomes, are the result of maneuvers that took place long before Voting Day and outside the polling stations (see our July 29, 2008 statement titled "What election observers did not see in a rigged election" at http://tinyurl.com/6gw3rz).
The Japanese observers were very disciplined: they had submitted to the CPP-controlled authorities the list of the polling stations they planned to visit. But they forgot to do their homework, starting with reading materials that could have given them some clues about the possible or probable election irregularities.

The Cambodia Daily, November 21, 2006: "Unexpected Voter Statistics Raise Concern"
A total of 1,214, 250 new voters registered in October [2006] for the commune election in April [2007] – a number more than double the NEC's initial prediction (…). "Ghost voter" refers to names on voting lists of people who may not exist, have already died or do not live where they claim to live. Election monitors are concerned that individuals may use ghost names to vote, potentially swinging the outcome of the election."
The Cambodia Daily, November 10, 2006: "Ghost Voters Pose Elusive Problem in Elections"
Election monitors voiced concern this week that there may be hundreds of thousands of ghost voters registered to participate in April [2007]'s commune elections (…). A ghost voter rate of 10 percent is far higher than the standard margin of error. This has prompted concerns that the voting list may have been tampered with on a large scale.
Phnom Penh Post, September 8-20, 2006: "Rainsy predicts disenfranchisement of non-CPP voters"
"The National Election Committee (NEC) has initiated changes in the voter registration process (…) that could have far-reaching consequences (…). The NEC is creating unnecessary and untimely work and procedures for people, most of whom are unable to do it (…). The NEC's initiative could practically end up depriving millions of citizens of their voting rights. The victims will be mainly non-CPP members because all CPP members are identified as such by their village chiefs and will receive in time (…) related information, assistance and facilities to do the work imposed by the NEC. Most of those who do not support the ruling CPP will be left in the dark (…). Many international observers do not realize that the results of the 2007 and 2007 elections are largely being decided now through a biased registration process."
The Cambodia Daily, August 30, 2006: "Rainsy: Process Changes Predetermine Elections"
"The National Election Committee's changes to the voter registration process are deciding the outcomes of the 2007 commune and 2008 national elections before they have had a chance to take place (…). Many international observers do not realize that the results of the 2007 and 2008 elections are largely being decided now through the registration process."
Phnom Penh Post, August 11-24, 2006: "Rainsy blasts voter registration"
"Sam Rainsy (…) is blasting (the NEC's) month-long campaign to compile voter lists as a 'vicious scheme.' It's a big plot being implemented in order to deprive up to two million potential voters of their rights (…). The NEC is independent on paper, but in fact they are doing what the CPP asks them to do."

Such an attack on the Japanese election obsevers, which makes the SRP feel better, will not help the party in the long run.
++++
No, surprised here that Hun Sen is capable in doing whatever it takes to win this election..the grip of power is somewhat of an addiction for him. Yes, the country has improved in a number of ways..but alot of foreign aid played a very huge factor in all this. The rich keeps getting richer..the poor gets poorer..I have a very big problem with this idealogy.
And the Winner is Mr. Sam Ramsey..Loser is Hun Sen..Fraud Spells Failer.
Yes, the winer in Mr. Rainsy who is now crying for reelection. Hun Sen is the loser, who is now preparing for another five years in power and manage for another win in the future election.
While struggling for reelection, don't forget to take up the party's internal shaking.
Here are the two motivations regarding Mr. Korm's recent move:
1- It's undiniable that he's the former foreign minister of Hun Sen's govt. during the 1980s. As CPP speculated since the begining that Mr. Rainsy would be main rival for Hun Sen's CPP in the long run, thus managing him to join SRP was the CPP's tactic to put Mr. Rainsy's political move on CPP's political map... Thus, Mr. Rainsy would never frame his power in his political life. And when time comes, Mr. Korm will leave SRP and put SRP in a diificult position...Now it's clear for his move... To make it a clear picture, there's a practice in CPP's internal and secrete regulation. Key members have taken important positions in the govt. by following the seniority in CPP. As Long as Mr. Namhong remains in FM position, Mr. Korm will not be seen to take that post. But now, Namhong's FM post is saken due to his age of over 70...Likely, he is reappointed to FM for 2 more years for the 4th terms of Hun Sen's govt. When Namhong left in the near future, Korm will be replaced. From this point of view, Mr. Korm's move now could prove it.
2- Second motivation is that by contrast, Mr. Korm's move at this point meant that he foresees no hope for SRP to take power in any near future as CPP has grown stronger from one election to another... Korm is getting old, but his political carrier couldn't prove any success. So, why he has to waste time with SRP. This proved the same move of Mr. Eng Chhay Eang a few days ago. His land granted for SRP headquater over 10 years could make him a rich man if he invest it...However, it's not late for him as land price goes up sharply. It could be a presure from him family too...
Now Mr. Korm and Mr. Earng are putting themselve in parallel move. Wait and see, what's next for SRP...
These fuck jap really need a 2nd atomic bomb if not a nuclear war head from china, I think we only miss a bit from north korea.
If you hate the chineese, you won't sell cambodian people, wonder why aussie hate these cun. oy oy
I am sure the SRP has a point here, but they must consider that the Japanese were there 'to observe' and not 'to investigate'. They found a pretty peaceful election and commended the NEC for it. Don't blame any outsiders for a domestic issue.
The Japanese observers didn't do their homework? hahaha, LOL, hahaha, ... . You kill me, bozoes (above)! hahaha, LOL, hahaha.
Why do Khmers always keep complaining about everything like childish babies?
Look at yourselves first before you complain about others!
Otherwise, no one will ever want to help Khmers anymore because you guys are so ungrateful and make it known to the World!

Only Khmer that complain are the bastard ones who live overseas lol. They are hypocritical and ignorant despite any form of education they receive. Most still think Sam Rainsy won the election. Doesn't that prove to any person with a slight hint of rational that these people are way out of touch with reality.
Their ignorance and stupidity comes out in their language. You can tell so easily. For instance, "Jap"? Only an ignorant racist bastard would use such language. I guess these Khmer overseas are fucking racist, ignorant, stupid, and lastly political tool. I think the last one is probably the truest one.
More blame, more pain : Cambodian
More calm, more intellectual : Thai
More diligent, more well living : Vietnamese
Is the SRP so perfect, that they had nothing to blame? Who are they trying to fool?
Results 1 - 10 of about 35,300,000 for jap
More blame, more pain : Cambodian
Stop blame me for the word jap I'm not alone.
there's 35,300,000 words in google!
so igorance and stupid.
More blame, more pain : Cambodian
It's even in the wiki.
Jap is an English abbreviation of the word "Japanese." Today it is regarded as an ethnic slur, though English-speaking countries differ in the degree they consider the term offensive. Japanese Americans have come to find the term controversial or offensive, even when used as an abbreviation. [1] In the past, Jap was not considered primarily offensive; however, after the events of World War II, the term became derogatory.[2]
The official three-letter and two-letter international country codes (ISO 3166) for Japan are JPN and JP, while the international language codes (ISO 639) for Japanese are jpn and ja (not jp)

The idiot that wrote the article using the word Jap knows what it means and still used it because he as an asshole feels it does satisfy his anger for the Japanese observers.
It just shows the character of these guys who call for freedom and democracy. You are all bullshit hypocrite. So the Japanese have to have the opinions that are align with your thinking to be "FREE" and "FAIR." What a bunch of fucking self-important hypocrite pieces of shits you are if you think like that.
I hope one day they have a cleansing and extermination of hypocritical bastards. The earth will be much better place without contradicting dicks.
