5 elections to watch in Asia in 2018

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Post had an article that iron man is thinking about cancelling elections for this year. Something about chaos in the country forcing him to act responsibly for the good of the people or something like that. And in other news ... local village and commune chiefs will keep their posts despite poll or election results ... as long as they are CPP, of course.

Cancellation being considered is not true.

HE stated that an election would not be held in a chaotic country.

That can mean two things*

a) there will be no election because the country is chaotic, or

b) HE will not allow chaos to disrupt the election.

Now, given the understanding of Cambodian politics I hope you have, which of the two do you think he meant?

(HE also later clarified it for the selective interpreters, but many chose not to mention that).

* Try b) ;)

If governments start murdering peaceful protesters, I think we can all agree that it would be considered to cause chaos. What he really means is he doesn't gaf, there will be an election and he will win and pat himself and get others to pat him on the back verily, and yourself and John Bingham will also do it in a huge arse licking contest. Oh. And that massive Indian statue will be covered in gold. It's the future.
