After reading The Cambodian Daily, Wednesday 25 March title “Hun Sen: No Sign of crises in Cambodia”. In the article Prime minister said “I do not see any sign of crisis, I see cars, motorbikes and business. I have not seen people abandoning their cars and motorbikes in the streets”.
These kind of responses from the Prime minister make many including myself scratching our head.
Try to tell that to people like Reaksmey, a 12 years old girl who earn less then a dollar per day. Now with less number of tourists visiting Cambodia, Reaksmey will earn even less per day. Reaksmey told me that she wants to earn enough money so she can put it toward her education.

Cambodia is at war again. This time, the battles surround who will control resources-land, timber, fisheries, oil-with a corrupt elite taking over the nation’s emerging export economy, while international donors turn a blind eye and 14 million Cambodians suffer.
“Cambodia is a democracy on paper but in reality a dictatorship. Our party activists are murdered because they fight for justice-life is still cheap in Cambodia.” Full article

Those who close to the president Sam Rainsy, know he has fought hard, may be too hard. The picture on the right hand side probably say a lot about how Sam Rainsy has lead the party through last year election. He pulls the load while his team parades a long.
In hindsight, we know that not the only factor. There were fraud and irregularities in the voting system and there were the 2008 Cambodian-Thai stand-off over the Preah Vihear Temple which were widely seen as a successful attempt of the ruling CPP to gain more support.
And there were media restriction, Sam Rainsy party and other minor parties have no access to media to explain their party policy. Full article

Response to article: Foreign Minister Critical of UNTAC's efforts
In the article “Foreign Minister Critical of Untac’s Efforts” where Cambodia’s foreign minister Hor Namhong said “The UN’s transitional authority, which occupied Cambodia in the early 1990s, did little for the country except put an election in place in 1993, but failed to end the country’s war”.
As a former UN staff in Cambodia, I find his comment somewhat offensive. I expect more from the leader. I join “Lao Monghay, a former member of the KPNLF who is now a researcher for the Asian Human Rights Commission, who said Hor Namhong’s criticism of UNTAC overlooked the work the peacekeepers did accomplish”.
