The PM kicks off his tour with a selfie for his facebook page:

PM Kicks off Tour of Country
Prime Minister HE started his countrywide tour yesterday in Battambang, where he plans to meet with local citizens and government officials to discuss issues affecting everyday Cambodians.

At the inauguration ceremony for a clean water system in Battambang province, the premier said he will visit every province to see whether his “reforms” had been implemented and survey the challenges still facing each province’s residents.

After Battambang province, he will go to Banteay Meanchey, followed by Siem Reap and Kampong Thom provinces. He said he will take a short break before continuing the rest of his tour of the country.

“I have to go there to check all of the problems and see the progress made on certain issues so that I can be sure it has been resolved because we are through half of my mandate,” he said.

Mr. HE posted the details of his trip to all 25 provinces on Facebook Wednesday night...

For those who live in the provinces, it might be useful to know when HE is coming to town so you can stay at home and avoid all the fuss.

Apologies to those who have been waiting with bated breath for yet another riveting life-changing article on the PM taking selfies with supporters around the country and fixing all their problems through divine intervention.

Selfie at a market.

Another market.


The CD article points out that this style of "meet the people" politics was always very popular with opposition politicians, but that it has been taken to a whole new level by HE.

Yet since announcing his Facebook page a year ago, Mr. HE has cultivated a page that now has its own news broadcasting team—and also offers live broadcasts of popular television shows. During his provincial tour, updates on his travels are posted multiple times a day.

The notion that Mr. HE may have found inspiration in the tactics of the exiled opposition leader, however, was not true, according to Council of Ministers spokesman Phay Siphan.
“The CPP never copies Sam Rainsy or the CNRP. We have our own agenda,” Mr. Siphan said.
