Re: Will THE PHNOM PENH POST be the Next English Newspaper to be Shut Down in Cambodia? (UPDATE)
sad news;
Dont need to wait for the fat lady to sing.
In less than a year, Cambodia has gone from having the freest press in the region to being one of the most repressive and dangerous places to be a journalist. In the 2018 Reporters Without Borders press freedom index published last month, Cambodia dropped 10 places from 132 to 142, and the country’s independent press was described as being “in ruins”. This was echoed by the Cambodian Centre for Independent Media, which recently concluded that the “facade” of free press in Cambodia had collapsed entirely, with almost half of journalists reporting intimidation.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/ ... p_FacebookSpeaking to the Guardian from Washington DC, where he is seeking political asylum, Pheap voiced his sorrow. “Any journalist who writes the real situation of Cambodia, anything that the government doesn’t like, then they will do everything to intimidate or prosecute us, and make sure we do not feel safe in our own country,” he said. “Because of this I have lost everything.”

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Would a forum such as CEO be permitted to operate or operate uncensored in China?

But in all seriousness, who knows. That said, we do edit the PM's name out and I'm about as interested in local politics as I am in basket weaving.

Yes, who knows?

Media today said an investor from Malaysia bought PP Post and the guy is pro H.S.... I guess that means the tax bill disappears now.
