The Koh Santepheap newspaper reported that Pok Tharet also known as Neay Lor Si, a rather well known comedian in Cambodia, has recently asked to join the CPP. In 2003, Lor Si was also involved in politics when he helped lead the election campaign for the Funcinpec party. After Funcinpec’s division and demise, Lor Si became aimless and he decided to follow Prince Ranariddh to the NRP. However, none of his political activities were successful and Lor Si disappeared from the scene. Recently, Lor Si was authorized to join the CPP with this party leaders’ consent. Lor Si said that he sent in his application to the CPP on 23 April 2009, and Hun Xen agreed to his application of 25 April.
