It's a very outdated term since the end of the Cold War. It's often used incorrectly too. It was never supposed to mean "least developed" anyway, it meant nations that were not aligned with the first world (west/ capitalist) or the second world (communist bloc).Miguelito wrote:Well, looks like Shiva’s not getting off to a good start. He pissed of the gov by referring to Cambodia as a “third world nation”.
I would like to say that Khmer440.com respects and adheres to best practices and terminology in international relations theory, understanding that “third world” is a derogatory and outdated term. The Kingdom of Cambodia is a developing nation, one that has impressively reached a lower-middle income status.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.

The Post is proud to announce the awards they've been nominated for:
The Phnom Penh Post has been named as a finalist for four Society of Publishers in Asia (SOPA) Awards, which honour editorial excellence in both traditional and new media in Asia.
An article by reporters Kong Meta and Andrew Nachemson about the effects of the chemical warfare waged by the United States on Cambodia’s Svay Rieng province four decades ago is a finalist for the Excellence in Human Rights Reporting Award.
Alessandro Marazzi Sassoon and Kong Meta’s A ‘crime’ against local history: Cambodia’s lost manuscripts, which delved into the black market in ancient Cambodian manuscripts, was nominated in the Excellence in Arts and Culture Reporting category.
Ben Sokhean, Mech Dara and Ananth Baliga’s same-day coverage of the Supreme Court decision to dissolve the Cambodia National Rescue Party is an Excellence in Reporting Breaking News finalist.
Shaun Turton, Niem Chheng and Mech Dara’s coverage of fears the Cambodian government were registering soldiers as voters in communes where they did not live, earned a nomination for the prestigious Scoop Award.
It bothers me how The Post and its previous reporters and editors keep referring to Phnom Penh Post.
People fought for the "The". It's called "The Phnom Penh Post". The "The" matters.

Lots of consistent reporting coming out from AEC on this, including a profile of Siva. Also enter Galliano into the picture. So you believe him when he says he was working this deal for a year?
How much do you have to pay for a total bullshit puff piece such as this?

$100? $200?

So I read a few of John Le Fevre's pieces in AEC. I think that the new owner is most definitely the Donald Trump of Malaysia.
- The sale is made, and the Post does an article on it that Siva doesn't like.
- Siva writes a very Trump sounding internal memo, where he states he first met Clough in March, and ends it by firing people
- All foreigners are fired or leave
- Media around the world lambast them for having no Westerners and for the Post being coerced into a sale
- Enter Anthony Galliano. Suddenly, a "legitimate" white guy appears and says he's been working on this deal for a year. Galliano does the media rounds, just as Trump defenders do.
Seriously? So Siva hired Galliano, who is an accountant, to broker this deal for a year? The only thing credible that can be shown to have been done is that a law firm did some due diligence -- so Siva hired Galliano to hire a law firm for him? I can do that. In the original memo he didn't state "we've been working on this deal for a year", he stated he met Clough in March, and when the sale happened Galliano wasn't around -- no one at Post mentioned him. Did Siva just find a random white guy with a little bit of exposure (he is interviewed a lot by the post) to whore himself out to give the sale legitimacy?
Asking for a friend.
