(A placard of the Cambodian Peoples Party. The Cambodian People's Party is the current ruling party of Cambodia. Previous elections have also been marred by corruption.)

The Cambodian commune elections has allegedly been marred by reports of bribery. Mr K alleges that 5 members of his family, in the Kaoh Chen commune, were paid by candidates from the ruling Cambodia Peoples Party to vote for them.
Description:
The Cambodian commune elections in 2012 select officials at the grassroots level to represent their community. The elections to be held on the 3rd June 2012 have been marred by reports of bribery by officials from the ruling Cambodia Peoples Party (CPP).
Mr K who wishes to remain anonymous alleges that 5 members of his family in the Kaoh Chen commune - Preak Chik village, Kandal Province - were paid $2.5 each by a Mr R Lon who is a member of the CPP.
"I have already spent the money," Mr. K tells me when I ask him for evidence of the vote buying.
"I cannot take you to speak with Mr. Lon as this will be dangerous for my family," he continues.
"Now we have taken the money we have to vote for the CPP because they can check who we have voted for," and he does appear to genuinely believe that the CPP can do that.
"Why did you take the money to vote if you believe that it's wrong?" I ask:
"If we dont take they know we vote for another Party," was his cynical response.
The Phnom Penh post reports today that the Prime Mininster Mr. Hun Sen and CPP vice-president has written a directive to ensure that all aspects of the democratic election process are fair: “Military police, national police and all levels of local authorities have to inform and educate the lower levels, villagers and foreigners in their community to suspend their selling and drinking of alcohol in order to make for good electoral process with freedom, justice and without violence.”
The CPP face a difficult electorate in Phnom Penh at the moment. Issues such as the alleged illegal land grab of prime development land at the Boeung Kak lake site by CPP government senator Lao Meng Khin, and the rapid imprisonment of 13 women protestors last week for the (ongoing) protests against the loss of their homes, may surface in the ballot box on 3rd June

DUMB Khmer, thats right sell your vote for a bag of rice. Next few years they will take your land. How are you going to use your bag of rice to buy justice? DUMB Khmer
If you (dumb Khmers) still vote the CPP, please don't cry in the future for help from Khmer oversea and the west countries. The best way that you all cry for the Chna, Russia and Viet.
Not to us at all, OK. We can't help you all for ever and we must help our children oersea first. That is enough for helping you all.
DUMB Khmer always cry for help. Then they call us for more money. When we give DUMB Khmer more money then they say they were tricked by authority receiving fake papers. So DUMB Khmer need more money to bribe the officials. Then when we don't give the DUMB Khmer more money they say we don't understand their situation.
Why is it so hard for DUMB Khmer to stop voting for CPP? These DUMB Khmer are the one causing corruption. These DUMB Khmer are the one causing injustice by falling for the tricks again and again. Then finally these DUMB Khmer promised to vote for CPP if they would help.
Come on DUMB Khmer. It's 32 years. Why are you still so DUMB? Why are we Khmer still supporting you DUMB Khmer?
SHIT HEAD
IL ne faut pas s’inquiéter les Youns Hanoi.La nuits n'est pas éternelle, on finira par reprendre notre Kampuchea Krom dans les années à venir. On a une structure solide au Kampuchea Krom, on se bat contre les Youns de Hanoi jusqu’à les Youns ne pouvaient plus rien y faire.
All of the above poster with exception of Annonymous 8:45 PM, is a dumb ass himself. Speaking highly from the land of the opportunity and still llack the knowledge of how the CPP managed to win every election.
I do not want to waste any more of your stupid time and therefore I am going to let you in on it for just this one time.
Offer to buy vote for the CPP is like saying; take this money and vote for us or we will harm you and your town's people. In a polite way.
This must be a new tactic from the CPP. Usually, vote for us or we will wipe out your entire town.
Like he was saying. If you don't take the money, they will know that you're not voting for them. Ask yourself, what would you (dumb ass) do given this situation at hand?
BTW, stop labeling Khmer as dumb. Because you are one of them too. If you can't comprehend my last sentence. Do us all a favor. Hang a sign around your neck that read; "One dumb Khmer kid" and shoot yourself in the head.
to 12:16 AM,
Why not we must to stop to say Khmer as dumb? Can I ask you how many Viet are living in Cambodia now? Have you ever read the Khmer history in the past? If you have no time to read Khmer history or you will never allow to read it I can tell you your children and will be soon slave Viet! Anyway If you are really communist, please read the speech of Karl Marx and Lenin, those said that Where is the oppressed there will be revolution? .
former CPP cadre
Former CPP Cadre,
1. Because you label the entire Khmer people as being stupid, stupid.
If the entire Khmer people are dumb, what does that make you?
2. My children will NEVER be a slave to anybody. Do you know why? We don't live in Cambodia.
3. I can't answer how many Viets live in Cambodia. However, I will refer you to someone who know the answer. His name is.......Hun Sen.
4. I am not into philosophy? So, I don't care for Karl Marx.

រំលោបបំពានសិទ្ធិមនុស្សដែលជាពលរដ្ឋខ្មែរដូចគ្នា តើឲ្យពលរដ្ឋនៅស្ងៀម ដូចពួកវាកាត់ដីឲ្យយួនឬ?
