Government reduces soldiers and policemen’ bonuses (1)
Because of a fall in state revenue due to the economic recession the government is reducing bonuses usually paid to some 200,000 soldiers and policemen. The government normally pays the armed forces “basic salaries” and “bonuses for function fulfillment” on a monthly basis. Bonuses, which had been markedly increased in 2008, can be much higher than salaries. They are now being reduced by 30 percent to 50 percent.
Government withholds councilors’ salaries (1)
Over 3,000 district, provincial and municipal councilors elected last May have yet to receive their salaries. The government has been withholding their salaries for five months allegedly because of “administrative problems” and “budget constraints”. But in fact, the government also wants to slow down the decentralization process whereby the ruling CPP would have to share some power at the local level with the opposition SRP which controls approximately 20 percent of the commune, district, provincial and municipal councilors.
Canadia Bank now controlled by Hun Sen’s family (2)
Partly as a result of bad loans linked to the collapsing property sector, Canadia Bank, Cambodia’s largest commercial bank, has recently come under the control of Prime Minister Hun Sen’s family (wife and children). The information is not made public because of concerns about corruption probe and Canadia Bank is involved in several cases of land grabbing.
The Hun Sen family has also taken control of several large development projects abandoned by South Korean firms, such as the 42-storey Gold Tower.
Hun Sen’s brother Hun Neng to be appointed Phnom Penh governor (2)
Prime Minister Hun Sen’s elder brother Hun Neng, currently Kampong Cham province governor, will soon be appointed Phnom Penh governor, replacing Mr. Kep Chuptema.
Foreclosures expected by the end of the year (2)
The government finds it more and more difficult to prevent several nearly bankrupt commercial banks ridden with property-linked bad loans (Canadia Bank, Foreign Trade Bank) from conducting foreclosures. A large number of properties will be seized by the end of the year from the banks’ defaulting clients and sold at auction. Observers expect a further drop in property prices in the next few months.
Sam Rainsy in Cairo (1)
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy is currently in Cairo to attend the 56th Congress of Liberal International (LI). The SRP is a member of the center-oriented LI, the world’s third largest international political grouping behind those formed by the Conservative and the Socialist. Sam Rainsy who had received the prestigious LI Freedom Award in 2006 in Marrakech (Morocco), will be the main speaker in a ceremony to present a book covering 25 consecutive LI Prizes for Freedom whose recipients included Corazon Aquino (Philippines, 1987), Vaclav Havel (Czekoslovakia, 1990), Mary Robinson (Ireland, 1993), Aung San Suu Kyi (Burma, 1995) and Martin Lee (Hong Kong, 1996).
CPP rejected by Socialist International (2)
The CPP candidacy to be a member of Socialist International (SI) has been continuously rejected in spite of Mr. Hun Sen’s repeated demand to join the powerful left-wing international political grouping. The reason for the rejection is related to the CPP’s poor human rights records including the Cambodian government’s repressive policy against trade unions. Both the CPP and its partner Funcinpec are currently members of the right-wing Christian/Centrist Democrat International (CDI).
King informed about seriousness and complexity of land issues (1)
Since his accession to the throne in 2004, King Norodom Sihamoni has been officially informed about the country’s situation only by Prime Minister Hun Sen. For the first time, a group of opposition National Assembly members on October 27 shared with the Monarch the people’s concerns as perceived at the grassroots level. The most serious concerns are related to land issues with citizens increasingly and unfairly losing their lands all over the country because of rampant corruption undermining the whole government including the judicial system. The King was also informed about Cambodian farmers continuously losing their rice fields along the border with Vietnam. In a recent past, King-Father Norodom Sihanouk had expressed very strong reservations about the way the Hun Sen government “works” on border delineation with neighboring countries.

In favour of SRP, Thanks to Fucking KI media for always twisting the truth.
SRP
it sound like a bullshit statement but will see if any of it base on the true information.
I don't see any credible source.
Who is the news reporter or news network source?
No name, address, telephone number...
these are serious accusations and affirmations. if true the country is in a depression era not recession.
I hope not for the sake of ordinary cambodians but in a sense this follows a logic pattern of recession leading to depression.
It explains the lost of self control by hun sen in thailand. Tha whole cpp apparatus is shaking in its foundations.
Hun Sen reduces Cambodian soldiers and police because he increase the Yuons.
"A large number of properties will be seized by the end of the year from the banks’ defaulting clients and sold at auction" Where will be the auction held? anyone know, please post here I wanna join.
during the recessionary period, has Hun Sen's adminstration taken any measures to counteract the problem. Nope. The guy was and is busy robbing from the poor to enrich his friends and families.
Hun and his families already have too much, comparing to others,but how much is enough for these people?
My condolences to the Khmer people who are nearing death because lack of food and basic necesity.
God bless these poor people, and curse upon these rich arrogant bastards.

write to hun sen. he is personally holding the auctions.
Over 100 banks have failed in the US due to bad loans. Its plausible that the two banks mentioned have failed due to the huge real estate bubble burst and are being propped up by the hun sen family.
Property development in cambodia went through the roof without taking into consideration who could afford to buy these properties.It doesn't surprise me that real estate projects like gold tower 42 and other mega projects have collapsed.
Cambodia cannot inject 1 trillion dollars in the economy like the US.
The state coffers are have been emptied by the endemic corruption.
Hun Sen has to go abroad and beg for money.
I pray for the poor cambodian families who have to live through this economic crisis.
11:01PM Can you atleast pray for the one who lost alot of money in this crisis! event the money was corrupted money!
11:38
go and beg frm hun sen lol!
12:00AM! Do ah Kwack have any thing left,more than empty lots?
The dirty money went to Korea ,fool!
Hun Neng will come to improve the value of Hun Xen Bank's propeties !
He could build sky bridge from one buiding to another so Hun Xen won't need thousands of dick-guards!
Correction.
Dick-guards = Bodyguards
Hun Xen = Ah Kwack Lop
Me ka-doi Socheata likes to criticize others with no sources to back up her claims! Gold Tower 42 is still being built!

Under the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime, no criminals that has been committed crimes against journalists, political opponents, leaders of the Free Trade Union, innocent men, women and children have ever been brought to justice.
Khmers are too busy fighting each other. So YOUN and Siamese are happy to see this.
8;42am.
Not many Khmers are fighting with each others. What you see in KI are just a few regular posters no more tahn 10 or so including members of KI who love to curse and trash others they hate.
Don't count on a few in KI while millions are not here to read or care about these people's comments.
Their fight is not just with Youn or Siem but with their own Khmers and with themselves.
A governor of a city or state has never been appointed; the person has to be elected by the people of that city. mr hun neng has no right legal right to be the governor of phnom penh, he has to be voted by the people of phnom penh. if mr hun sen appoint his brother mr hun neng to the governor post, he's not playing fair game.
