Prime Minister Hun Sen has appealed on 3rd May to local authorities and armed forces to create an atmosphere for easy registration by all political parties that wish to participate in the upcoming election.
Speaking at Wat Samaki Raingsey temple in Kampong Chhnang, the PM said: “I appeal to the local authorities who are responsible for the certification of the candidates’ personal details to make it easy for them to fast track their registration as election candidates as soon as can be done.”
This appeal was made following the complaints from political parties and NGOs that local authorities deliberately created unfavourable conditions for the candidates to obtain certification documents required for the registration as election candidates.
The spokesman for the Norodom Ranariddh Party (NRP), Mr. Muth Chantha, said that some local authorities have created difficulties for his party, but he said that the NRP had already overcome all those difficulties (read about CPP's chief threatened people who joined the NRP's forum).
Mr Muth Chantha said: “The difficulties we faced are related to the issuance of the certificates of confirmation of our names in the registration lists. We were faced with difficulties in obtaining them but we had already overcome all those difficulties. We just wait for the time lodge those documents.”
The Democratic Alliance Party of Mr. Khem Veasna had faced the same problems. He said: “The problem is that the district officials are reluctant to issue certificates of confirmation about the registration of our candidates. We had faced these sorts of difficulties, but no problems, we had overcome all of them already.”
Dr. Hang Puthea, director of NICFEC, the election monitoring body, said that, according to his observations such problems existed. He said: “I observed that the delay in the registration of political parties are due to the issuance of certificates of registration relating to the address of the party headquarter by the commune chiefs.”
In response to these allegations, Mr. Tep Nytha, Secretary-General of the National Election Committee (NEC) said: “The NEC has taken all measures to rectify the problems. What have been alleged had been resolved. Should they still face any problems they must report to the NEC or the provincial election committee for prompt intervention.”
Up until the 3rd of May, there were only 3 political parties that have lodged their application for registration. The registration will continue until the 12th of May.

Is his appeal real or is it for good publicity only. Or is this his usual tactics of publicly pretending to to say good things but privately, behind the scene, encouraged his CPP members to carry out intimidations and threats?
It's easy to say : to ease registration!
Communist is communist.
In the village's election, CPP is willing to buy the head of Khum (commune) peoples who are willing to be sell in May 2006, FUNCINPEC or SRP. It doesn't matter, FUNCINPEC or SRP. The CPP's goal is to have 100% CPP as village's chief.
Why do They want 100% CPP as village's chief? Well, everybody come to village's chief to register. The village's chief knows what party you are voting for. So They threat you, if you're not with the CPP. The village's chief is in close relation with persons who work for the elections.
FUNCINPEC knows it!
What can FUNCINPEC do?
When They can not buy FUNCINPEC, They bought SRP's head (commune people).
SO, HOW CAN WE MAKE CPP LOSE?
I JUST DON'T WANT SEE CAMBODIA WITH THE RED FLAG AGAIN!

P.S.: Form the democratic alliance... less than a week to go....tic tic tic...
clock is ticking for Funcinpec, Khem Sokha and Sam Rainsy
It is imperative that the major farmers of Cambodians should not be more savaged than the minor rich and high ranking officers. This kind of social gap had been dictated by the Khmer Rouge, but unfortunately KR pursued their public policy depended on personal egoistic leadership, not legal principles. Aristotle had clearly elaborated of what he said "in a democracy the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the will of the majority is supreme" is wholly mediated by the rule of law.
Rule of law is the core of democracy to creating social equity. Without law, a nation could not be called a nation-state. Cambodia is not a nation-state under Hun Sen's leadership. Hun Sen is the law, above the law, and the leviathan.
If we observe closely to the leadership of Hun Sen, there have been gradually failed for Cambodia's advancement. They are such as:
1. Since 1993 to present, the national resources which are the backbone of nation wealth has been depleted. Adam Smith clarified the progress of nation-state wholly depends on the rightly use of national resources to sustain its social, economic and politics. But how this idea rightly implemented in Cambodia? While the national resources have been depleted and continuously deprived, the living standard of Cambodians are under poverty line, state cannot afford the raise the decent wage of public officers and workers/labors. Farmers are suffered by climate change such as drought or flood and land grabbing.
2. Cambodia has received foreign aids to improve its social, economic and politics. If we think of the debt loans, individually each Cambodian has to reserve their debt $1500 to $2500 that this surely upset Cambodian younger generation. But those money have little bettered Cambodian society. While the debt is increasing but the living standard is decreasing in the period of these 15 years.
3. Political leader requires political will. Sh/e has to change the perception of "power thirsty" to "nation-building". In this manner, Hun Sen leadership is not different from Cambodian previous leaders that from time to time, from day to day, he has triumphally projected to sustain and increase his power, not to build the nation. Cambodian nation has moved forward only according to the change of the world and demographic, not according to the willingness and ability of its incumbent leader.
Social stability is truly imperative for Hun Sen to stabilize Hun Sen's power. It is not genuinely originating from Hun Sen's political will to safeguard the sustainability of future Cambodia. Some roads, schools, hospitals, commercial buildings surely come from the huge influx of foreign aids, economic liberalization, globalization, and transnational flows of investment. They are genuinely coming from the will of leader for true development.
4. Democracy actually built by the peoples who are full of knowledge. Many countries have facilitated the rule of law, education, and government system to be flexible for future national transcendence. To achieve this willing and pioneering, many world well-known leaders step down from power in order to have a positive change for their nation.
But Cambodia under Hun Sen leadership is contradict that the rule of law has not enforced. Corruption, favoritism, nepotism and patronage are widespread practicing throughout the country. Education to empower knowledge to the people for the need of democracy reformation has been gradually deteriorated. The national mass media that is the very important source for public education is being manipulated and subverted by the government. TVK or CTN or other TV stations including Radios are working for the CPP propaganda. This mass media is poisoning Cambodian peoples. Gigantic influence and information bombardment are singly inclining one side without fair judgment. This kind of the mass media is the clue of division and ignorance stage for the citizens. Democracy requires mass media to be neutral and balancing the point of view from all sides.
Internally, CPP under genuine national leadership certainly requires courage to stand up to reform the current contamination. CPP as one of the main national party should focus on the "national building" not "power thirsty" or "kleptocracy".
CPP can be a role model to strengthen the rule of law, creating the neutral Buddhist monks, neutral public officers, neutral military, neutral policemen, especially neutral mass media.
Under Hun Sen leadership, CPP has tremendously failed to develop the country though huge national natural resources depleted, huge aids granted, huge debt loans increased, and peoples in general are still weak to embed the foundation of democracy and brighter future of Cambodia.
SRP comes as the ideal of democracy and new hope of brighter future for Cambodia that CPP should shoulder to operate a genuine "nation-building".

What is the use? The Sinking People Party (SRP) will not have anyone to register. They are all sinking fast.
Ah Sam Rainsy will lose all of his members soon to the CPP, HRP,..., and FUNCINPEC. They will have no choice but to ask cyclo drivers to be their MPs. Don't vote for SRP if you don't want to go back to year-zero.
The CPP not only had cyclo-drivers as MPs, but as PM. Hun Sen maybe worked as a cylo-driver before becoming a pagoda boy, then KR soldier, then KR messenger, killed many then defected to VN, then installed by invading VN forces to be foreign minster, then as a brutal PM. That's the CPP.
