Rubber Company Joins CPP Gift-Giving Ceremony in Ratanakkiri

By Aun Pheap - July 1, 2013 The Cambodia Daily
 
Representatives of a Vietnamese rubber firm that has been accused of contributing to the illegal deforestation of vast tracts of land in northeast Cambodia joined local CPP-aligned government officials in Ratanakkiri province on Friday to hand out rice, salt and sugar to more than 400 families.
Although an election monitor rebuked local authorities for wearing hats emblazoned with CPP logos at the ceremony, Min Srim, chief of Serei Mongkol commune in Kon Mom district, said the ceremony was not meant to garner support for the ruling party ahead of this month’s election.
