July 01, 2008Dear Friends,
The three terms office that Mr. Hun Sen has been in power have given us the bird’s eye view of the pattern of political activities in the Hun Sen Government. He and his government officials have been continuously silencing the dissident voices of our Cambodian people and their fundamental rights to freedom of expression, press, assembly, association, and religions are being violated and suppressed. The gap between the rich and poor is wider. The social issues such as land grabbing, illegal evictions, illegal logging, lack of health care and treatment, unemployment, inflation, and poverty are unresolved. On May 29, 2008, we learned that a man’s wife had to sell two of their 7 children to bail her husband out from [police] jail. While the Senate had shoveled off the corruption law proposals and buried them under their desks, the corruption activities are being fully conducted by government officials. Irrefutably, there has been no sign of any intervention from Samdach Akkak Moha Sena Bat Dey Dek Cho Hun Sen.
It is indeed a well written piece of article but Justin failed to get his points right on numerous occasions and subjects, for instance:-
Bird's eye view
The point I would like to stress here is "And religions are being violated and suppressed". In the matter of fact, whilst Cambodia declared and official recognized that Buddhism is the National Religion, however the State and Government are also allowed other religions from all parts of the world to be set up nation wide to accommodate each individual group of particular followers. Cambodia nowadays has a diverse religions than ever before and much more than its neighbouring countries. For instance: we have Muslim [newly built mosque are in every commune where our Chams are residing], Taoist [was totally banned under the Lon Nol regime, Chinese schools located within the temple compound were converted to other amenities or high school, just in the case of Chinese schools in Battambang: Kok Kwan was used us Svay Por High, Chip Seng became Eap Khut 2, and one beside Hap Be cinema became detention centre for those Vietnamese people], Catholic, Christian and Evangelist [on the increase and a numbers of Cambodia people now are the followers] just to name a few.
Here is another one
If one should carefully read the wordings "The CPP Deputy Village Chief rode his motorcycle at full speed toward her in an attempt to run her over".
This is when political correctness went wrong. What's a stumble Justin? Justin actually exaggerated the words and contradict to Mrs. Mu's claim "The driver tried to hit her with his motorcycle " and other "After a brief argument, the deputy village chief verbally threatened to run over Mu Sochua, who was blocking him from leaving. He immediately accelerated at full speed, with Mu Sochua narrowly escaping serious bodily harm or even death' .
Rode his motorcycle at full speed in an attempt to run over her is clearly to say that the Deputy Village Chief may have his intention or well prepared himself rather than having a brief argument and verbally threatened to run over Mrs. Mu.
Mu Sochua stopped the moto-cycle and introduced herself in order to address the violation of the election rules and regulations. After a brief argument, the deputy village chief verbally threatened to run over Mu Sochua, who was blocking him from leaving. He immediately accelerated at full speed, with Mu Sochua narrowly escaping serious bodily harm or even death.
