DAP, not to be confused with DPA, Germany’s Deutsche Press Agentur, is the acronym for Daeum Ampil, The Tamarind tree, a new weekly webzine launched by CTN reporter Soy Sopheap, which is entirely in Khmer.

Soy Sopheap, a known Cambodian reporter and mediator during political crisis, tries to diversify press support. The new site www.dap-news.com was launched last week at the same time that the weekly Daeum Ampil print magazine is being changed into a bi-weekly one. Furthermore, Soy Sopheap, the director of the DAP, is also about to launch another magazine, Morokot (The Emerald), which will see its debut on 09 February. All these activities were undertaken to answer the needs of Cambodian readers, Soy Sopheap claimed. “There are issues that I cannot handle on TV, I discuss about them in the newspaper. The website also provides an answer to the current new web era. I treat all subjects, without political bias,” Soy Sopheap explained.

On the DAP site, readers can have access to both national and international news. Regarding Cambodian news, activities and speech given by the opposition parties will also be included. Nevertheless, Soy Sopheap is known to be a close associate of Hun Sen. Even if the government views are surely reported, readers will also learn about the alliance between the SRP and the HRP, and they will also learn about Sam Rainsy’s request to the government in terms of budget for the economic crisis. Soy Sopheap’s visit to Preah Vihear province, the border dispute area with Thailand, is also featured on this website.

Returning to the upcoming Morokot magazine, Soy Sopheap explained that it was one of his 10-year-old dreams that is just materialize now. “I want to create an artist association and a magazine. Now, it is done, the opportunity took place in 2006, and the magazine is being published now,” a gleeful Soy Sopheap said.

Thank God, finally something happening for the CPP! Not to say that we needed it. We can defeat all of our oppositions blind folded with our supreme phd from Hanoi.

Online publications appeared on the Internet so many years ago. This dodgy online CPP publication has just appeared on the Internet now, but this blind-folded CPP stooge boasted it like there was no tomorrow.

What can we expect from retarded PhDs from Hanoi? Many years late!

Soy Sopheap is a die hard supporter of CPP and very close to Hun Sen. What he said nothing else but to praise Hun Sen blindly day and night. This guy starts to flip-flap just to save his face on CTN screen.

All loyal CPP will jump to death too? Who will be the next strong man?

តើហ៊ុនសែន មិនមែនជាមេដឹកនាំ​ ដែលបានយកឈាមរាស្ត្រដើម្បីអំណាចទេឬ?

បក្សប្រជាជន (បទកាកគតិ)

គ្មានញញើតដៃ ។
ប្រើកលគ្រប់ល្បិច ចាក់ដោតមួលក្តិច ពន្លិចបំភ្លៃ
លួងលោមទិញសូក អស់លោកមន្តី អំណាចដល់ដៃ
ប្រល័យតបគុណ ។
ខ្មែរអើយចូលចាំ តាំងចិត្តឲ្យមាំ ខំប្រឹងរកធន
កុំទុកចិត្តពាល កុំអាលបោះទុន ក្រែងពេលស៊យស៊ុន
ទុនរលាយបាត់ ។
ធ្វើស្រែចំការ ចិញ្ចឹមអាត្មា ប្រមូលញាតិមិត្ត
ក្រោកផ្តួលរំលំ បនពាលទុច្ចរិត ក្បត់ជាតិខ្លួនពិត
បំរើជាតិគេ ។
បំរើប្រយោជន៍ ស្រុកទេសហិនហោច គ្មានសល់អ្វីទេ
លក់ដីលក់ជាតិ លក់ក្បាលឲ្យគេ ខ្មែរណាដៀលជេរ
កំទេចគ្មានសល់ ។
ពួកប្រជាជន ក្បត់ជាតិផងខ្លួន ផ្គាប់យួនដោយផ្ទាល់
ខ្មែរស្លាប់រាប់លាន គេគ្មានខ្វាយខ្វល់ គេប្រើពួកពល
គ្រងយួនចូលស្រុក ។
ថាបក្សជំទាស់ ប្រកាន់ពូជសាសន៍ មិនសន្សំសុខ
ជាតិសាសន៍បងប្អូន ចូលមកសុំជ្រក ម្តេចមិនលៃលក
ឲ្យបានសុខសាន្ត ។
នេះឬមិត្តយួន ថាខ្មែររុកគួន យួនចូលទាំងលាន
បំផ្លាញពូជត្រី ព្រៃឈើបរិស្ឋាន ចូលមករុករាន
ពេញផែនដីខ្មែរ ។

Deum Ampil, when it is dried it catches up fire faster; it can be used to cook food.

Khmer saying :

Kruap Ampil Dors Chaing Pee Arch Ko
The Tamarind seed has grown up from the Ox's Dung.

Note : Dung ----> Hanoi-Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung

Next we need to ban some of Ah Scam Rainxy's media (such as KI media, his disciple) to balance thing out for true democracy.

Soy Sopheap play many roles in duty-whether the political supporter(CPP supporter), the news reporter, dispute solver. How poor/bad model of such guys bring to the concept of readers/listeners.

There are not so many ways that Hun Xen will choose from.Whether to insist in power and listen to people's criticism, leave office and face criminal charges, die and receive little respect from his party, leave office and give all power to the next qualified candidate.
