PHNOM PENH, Jan. 6 (Xinhua) -- Some 30 percent of Cambodians now live under the poverty line, said Prime Minister Hun Sen here on Tuesday while addressing a bridge inauguration ceremony.
"We are making efforts to reduce poverty step by step and I couldn't achieve giant leap in this regard," he said.
Cambodia realized 1 percent reduction of poverty on annual basis in the past years, thanks to the government policy and the economic growth, he said.
Cambodia is one among the 49 least developed countries in the world and the government previously claimed that 35 percent of the population lived under the poverty line of no more than 1 U.S. dollar of daily income for a person.

Ah Kwack must count his third leg!
Do ma ah chkout!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey !ah stupid PhD with no education from the motherfucker place of Hanoi, is 3 dollar a day or 4 is living over poverty line for your motherfucker who go every ehere with heleco till the ligning strike?
Even suppernatural start to get anoy with you!!! motherfuckers!
Who ever think that you are living obove poverty line with ah Hun Xen leadership, thinking again harder!
Do you afford to wash and drink bottle water from abroad?
Do you afford to bread pure air fro a Oxyxen tank?
Do you afford to import food product yourself ( So is not ans expired one or faked from evil communist Vietname?)
Can you be sure that the food you eat are not ussing too mutch ilegal fertilizer and pestify that will cause your family CANCER?
Can you be sure that your house is your, with ah Hun Xen's laws of full mouth? You may be the next victime of evacuation if you land price reace $1000/m2.
are your sure you family will besave if all around you people have nothing to lost and hungry?
THINK FOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think if we look at the reduction is number and of how people and the country's economy is moving faster and better, then, it is an improvement. that said, however, of course, it is a step-by-step or gradual process as it will take time, like the prime minister was saying. what, it is a mistake to think that someone else can make this change overnight? that is very unlikely, not to sound too pessimistic, just a reality check. even true democracy took hundreds of years to become real like that in the USA; and it was through many lost of lives and demonstrations and protests, etc... to get that far. i don't think it was free as there is no such thing as free lunch as they say it in the western society. so, one way is to be patient and continue to push and push for improvement and reforms for all of cambodia at all institution of gov't, of course. yes, there are a lot of works to be done. like staying in school and perseverance, eventually one will finish it or overcome it as the situation in cambodia. thank you and god bless cambodia.
2:11AM human can learned from each other and be better than the first one!
Like Thai leurned from Khmere!
Hun Xen and his family do not need to end up like Sadam Hussen if ah Kwack is a smart one!
And you do not to figureout how to build a PC so you can come up to fly Heleco like ah Tay Houng Hok landy did!
Be kind and know what right and wrong make your mother proud, FOOL!
HUNSENCONOMIC
It is the philosophy of HUNSENCONOMIC that if dirt poor Cambodian people can make one dollar a day and they meet the requirement of living above poverty line!
So if 35% of dirt poor Cambodian people live under poverty and HUNSENCONOMIC promise to eliminate only 1% of poverty reduction per year and that would take 35 years to eliminate poverty from Cambodia! Even after 35 years of HUNSENCONOMIC and dirt poor Cambodian people still make one dollar a day!
Now, I do have a question for our beloved Samdech Hun Sen and why he choose only 1% per year of poverty reduction and why not 2% or 3% or even 10%? Does our beloved Samdech Hun Sen honestly believe that Cambodian people can wait for 35 years to escape poverty?
Please dirt poor Cambodian people can't wait for 35 years just to earn more than one dollars a day by then there would be another revolution!
It is understandable that nobody can totally eliminate poverty from the world include Cambodia but I believe that dirt poor Cambodian people should have the opportunity like everyone else and able to send their children to school and have a decent job to raise a family! Now I do agree that not everybody born to this world can become doctor or engineer and that is why it is important that everybody have an opportunity to do something meaningful with their life!
So to be poor is to deny the opportunity!
reduction in number is good indication that something is working right in cambodia. wasn't it 60% or 70% in poverty number a few years ago? now at 30%? a good number. that said, of course, people expect this number to continue to go down lower and lower5 05 10 years from now. even in the most industrialized or affluent society, the number was not 100% poverty-free. there's always a few percentage left, not matter how affluent or industrialized a nation is. so, don't expect cambodia to achieve at 100% either, although that is a target for the gov't to go toward. that said, the lower the number, the better, of course! if cambodia can achieve to 90% or less, then, it is a huge achievement for cambodia, even though not at 100% which we all want. god bless cambodia.
The figure of 35%, 30%, 25% or 10% can be easily generated from the predetermined poverty line.
Currently most analysists using US$0.45 or KH Riel 1,800 per day as basis requirement for one's survival and the poverty is now 34% (nationwide). If you take US$1 or KH Riel 4,000 per day as other countries are using, it is sure that the rate would exceed 34%.
With this rate of US$1 or KH Riel 4,000 per day, I believe that you and me won't survive, given the current commodity prices.
If PM wants the poverty rate lower than 34%, the assumption should be made based on KH Riel 1,000 or KH Riel 500 per day. By then i am sure that there won't be poor as we've gone.
Tell us, who can manage to spend KH Riel 1,800 a day to survive with current commodity prices?
How can anyone can ever get rich on 12 - 14 cents per day?
Morther fucker 805 FARMER AND MOST FARMERS MAKE LESS THAN $1 PERDAY! AND MOST PUBLIC SEVANCE HAVE SALARY OF $60 PER MONTH WHAT THE FUCKING 30% COME FROM?
dO MA AH phd!
The fact is 90% of Cambodian people are dirt poor farmers.
I just don't know where the hell AH HUN SEN government get his 35% of Cambodian people are still live in poverty!
