Following a short publication lapse, the Sralanh Khmer newspaper which used to support the opposition SRP party and used to attack the CPP, has now turned itself around and is starting its attack on the SRP instead. In its Monday’s edition, the newly bought out pro-CPP newspaper not only attacked the SRP, it also attacked the HRP and the NRP as well, while praising the CPP. Eng Chhai Eang, SRP Secretary-general, said that he is disappointed with this newspaper which used to criticize corruption and the ruling party, but is now turning into a newspaper which no longer criticizes corruption. Thach Ket, who was a member of the SRP steering committee, recently defected to join the CPP. This is the reason why this turncoat newspaper made a full 180-degree turn and now supports the ruling party instead. The Cambodia Daily reported that Thach Ket who defected to the CPP was rewarded with a position of government advisor, just like the other defectors before him.
