scare crow has to close all who said or may said something about
Hun sen regime . nice shoot.
he has to close the door.
Good, the CPP has complete media coverages for their party only before the election. I bet the international communities ,USA, and the United Nations will not out any pressure on hun sen regime either.
Cambodia is heading backward now. The Chinese are coming too. More KR-Mao style government. Expect the worst to come again.
Cambodia is heading toward the Khmer Rouge style by monopolizing the media. This is democracy going backward. Hun Sen is paranoid and he will do anything to stay in power.
Please do not align yourself with criminal activities and the spread of misinformation beside CPP parties. Otherwise, you will be punished according to the rules of law.
