440 gets cited in the PP Post, no mention of me this time.

This is a free speech zone where you can discuss and debate everything Cambodia related whether you're a dyed in the wool leftist, a liberal or somewhere to right of Attila the Hun. This is also where you get to read the news the local media suppresses.

Not quite as explosive a news story as the one they ran in their Lifestyle section, and I'm not sure saying that it was "flagged" on the "forum" is correct when I believe a front page article was done about it ...

For so many years both the Daily and the Post used 440 as a source and never mentioned us.

Nice to see that the hacks are at least giving is a passing credit ...

It's about time we started using code-words on here. We could charge them for a special K440 Enigma MachineTM if they want to stump up.

Well, I suppose it is easier sitting in Cafe Fresco trawling 440 for leads than stomping around looking for stories when you don't speak Khmer...

Good. Hopefully if Rmoney gets elected we will stop getting the sucking up to basically any moneyed foreign power the Cambodian government appears so proud of. China already has pretty much of a monopoly over that now, anyway.

I'm fairly sick of Cambodia saying 'how high' when some foreign official asks them to jump, its worse than any other Asian country.
