Political rhetoric - SR accused of being the new Pol Pot

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.

Political rhetoric - SR accused of being the new Pol Pot

Post by Anchor Moy »

I think Cambodia needs a Godwin's law of its own for inappropriate hyperbolic comparisons - Cambodia's leader compares the the leader of the opposition to Pol Pot. ( Either that, or he should be on "kids just say the damndest things" O:-) )
Prime Minister XXX released a three-page statement Thursday claiming there were “no differences” between what opposition leader Sam Rainsy would do to the country if he won the next election and the destruction Pol Pot wrought during his three years in power.
Ok, I get it now. It's part of the FB race. https://cambodiaexpatsonline.com/newswor ... t6405.html
Posted to Mr. XXX’s official Facebook page, and titled “The Most Dangerous Policy,” the statement renewed the prime minister’s warnings that if Mr. Rainsy’s CNRP won the election, class tensions would boil over into full-blown civil war...
