In Kandal, villager says CPP support is ‘tested’





May Titthara, The Phhom Penh Post, 5 August 2013

More than 1,500 Cambodian People’s Party supporters in Kandal province’s Sa’ang district were summonsed by party officials yesterday to be thanked for voting for the party, during a meeting one villager claimed was tacit intimidation.


According to a villager speaking on the condition of anonymity, invited residents were told they would have to swear on a shrine of Yeay Tep – a powerful spirit believed to answer any request but punish liars – that they had voted for the ruling party.

“I did not dare to participate because Yeay Tep is very holy. Previously, people got what the prayed for there. And I did not vote for the CPP. I voted for the Cambodia National Rescue Party so I did not go,” she said.


“Elections were held in secret, so why did they call people to show their votes? Those who did not go, they took notice and will persecute us later.”

Others who attended the meeting and spoke on the record said no swearing took place at the meeting.

“We just talked casually,” resident Im Thuch said.

“We just thanked the people without forcing them to take an oath. We didn’t give any money either,” echoed Koh Khsach Ponlea commune clerk, Nhoung Toeukly.


A former CPP stronghold, Kandal fell to the CNRP in last Sunday’s election, with the opposition scooping up six of 11 seats in Prime Minister Hun Sen’s province. On election day, skirmishes broke out at several polling stations over irregularities and the opposition has since claimed it won even more seats there than the preliminary results appear to give them.

On Friday, Prime Minister Hun Sen visited Kandal and gave a speech in which he warned uprisings would likely descend into violence.


Senior Adhoc investigator Chan Soveth said his organisation had been receiving complaints from people across the country alleging similar post-election meetings with undercurrents of intimidation.

“Each political party should accept the results which are scheduled to be released; and if they are not satisfied, they should meet face to face, legally, to avoid people feeling threatened after the elections,” he said.

People also can ask Hun Sen and his upporters to.swear infront of YeayTep to see if they lie to the cheating of the election or not? If they dare to swear or not?

WHY ASK THE VILLAGERS TO SWEAR IN FRONT OF YEAY TEP TO BE SURE THEY VOTED FOR CPP? THE CPP LEADERS AND IN PARTICULAR,HUN SEN, SHOULD SWEAR BY SAYING OUT LOUD THAT HE HAS NOT BEEN VIETNAMESE SERVANT AND HAS BEEN KILLING KHMER PEOPLE. BE A KHMER HERO NOT A COWARD AND TRAITOR, MR. HUN SEN.

Apparently Hun Sen flew in via helicopter with many body guards spead around in the open field to PROTECT HUN SEN from the frog in the rice field in case it got out of the well....! even more it help to refresh Hun Sen's memory of what life used to be like when he was a pesants now billionaire as opposed to the poor and powerless rice farmer in Cambodia and in Kandal who was forces to listen to Hun Sen Ayay and that CPP has NO policy that benefit them 1 cent.

Notice that even Hun Sen's rice people outfit look so new? they managed to gathe 1500 voters to thanks while the CNRP have 20000 plus voters came to greet Sam Rainsy & Kim Sokha per provice who turn up on their own "free will" I.E unlike GATHERing by the CPP to listen to Hun Sen Ayay...a very boring one too, nothing NEW same same same Sh*t and talk like he have in the last 28 years.

The show of supports for the CNRP vs the CPP are all the clear result of who is the real winner of this election..and hands down CNRP are the winner and CPP should accept it and may be Hun Sen can live freely to enjoy and revisit his farming life..!
