Good news or bad news ?

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.

the xenophobic and bombastic cnrp could be a real disaster.

not that it is any of my business at all.
Don't panic - I'm betting that he is planning on succeeding himself after 74 and beyond - and I'm sure there is a Plan B in place in case the population decide to vote him out before the age of 74.

(And no it's none of my business either, but when you go around announcing in the press that you will be dictator until the age of 90 or 74, it comes down to the same thing - that you expect to choose your own date of departure. And however you interpret that, it's not a thumbs-up for the respect of democratic process.)

But I'm a bit of a cynic - so prove me wrong Cambodia...

I predict he'll die from health problems while still in charge. Within 2 years.

That would really throw the cat among the pigeons, wouldn't it?

Miss out on the 2018 election. Anyone dare to offer suggestions on an immediate successor, with an election looming?

Umm, I hope you're wrong General or you could be tried for treasonable witchcraft. :stir:
(I'm sure there must be a law somewhere against predicting the premature demise of those on high.)

I think i should write about the culture of graduation in Cambodia where our marvelous PM always appeared all the time. Not to mention, he talked all about the craps things. Sitting and listening to his speech was the worst time ever i have spent. I wish i was checking CEO instead. :lol:

Sorry it is out of topic, but it is also about our PM.

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

I'm sure it was epic; I understand HE's best quotes usually come from graduation ceremonies!

I listened to one of his long speech's once (didn't understand a word), but eventually excused myself and wandered out into field, sat on a stump and waited for it to end. Guy does know how to talk, but when you have a captive audience you can run on as long as you want.
