More S**t From the S**t Factory

[Aseriousman]

It seems certain people are upset at the EU for its perceived interference in the klungdom of Cambodia.
Apart from anything else, it's quite obvious that this government signed an agreement to uphold human rights in Cambodia as it was one of the primary points of the EBA agreement.

Now, they are crying about it being unfair when it's threatened to be reassessed/ removed after a major flouting by those same people of human rights. Ffs. I would like to point out to these people that what is really unfair, is dissolving the main opposition party by using, amongst other things, the fear of the KR and subsequent long drawn out civil war as a psychological means to stop protest. Disgusting after what the older generation have been through. Absolutely disgusting. Shame on you.

Thanks PPP for another cutting edge article.

The EU’s “scare tactics” or coercive measures may not produce the intended results – instead, it may result in a lose-lose scenario for both sides.

Not only will the EU’s EBA threat damage Cambodia-EU relations, but it will also force the Kingdom to further embrace China,

NEWS JUST IN. China now pretty much owns Cambodia. It was a decision this government made to stay in power even before dissolving the opposition. Not really very much closer for them to get.
In layman terms, they've gone to bed, done the act, and are relaxing over a post coital cigarette. Each thinking the other is their sweet little bitch.


EU, Cambodia should rethink their approaches to EBA

Mate, before you start throwing the Sh*t around, you should begin looking into the Bush & Clinton administrations.

That is 'corruption' ... BIG TIME.

And let's get some things clear about the EU - it stinks, nay reeks, of SH**T, re - New World Order.

But, the 'silly little things' that the Cambodian Govt have done also reek.

I wonder who is controlling each 'top of the heap'.

at least Bill Clinton, through his lechery, led to the election of the Donald

that's one good thing he did!

doesn't look like the EU is too popular these days, so no big loss for Cambo

better bet for sure sticking with China

LOL

If you don't like it, leave, take some of your own advice.

Your own country has done far worse on more numerous occasions, and you know it, and your whore country continues to supply weapons to pariah states that habitually murder the old and women and children.

Your false righteousness bores me, and I suspect a few other posters

Sanctimony is bad enough coming from the morally neutral, but coming from you/your nation, sickening.

That's it, I now firmly believe you'd be supporting Hitler if you were living in Germany in 1937 and his policies weren't directly affecting you. Anything to avoid making a moral decision and taking an active stance on tyranny. It's you that should either speak up about this regime or at the very least stop sucking HE's cock and, if in a position to, leave. It's obvious that the only thing you support, is yourself. You're in good company though.

Juvenile, really, the mind of a 9-year old, but without the debating skills.

At least you're not a Holocaust denier

Extract from an earlier thread:

The last two posters are starting to sound like holocaust deniers. So, I think I'm out. I'll leave you with a few links.

How is it that when people do not have the intellectual ability to construct a cogent argument they resort to Hitler

However, back on topic. The second link you posted is exactly what I was saying:

There is no doubt that Cambodian lives have greatly improved over the last two decades: the economy is thriving and the country is at peace. Remarkable progress has been made in the reduction of child mortality, HIV/AIDS. The percentage of the population living below the poverty line has significantly decreased.

In 2010, the government passed the Anti-Corruption Law and established the Anti-Corruption Unit. Following this, cases of bribery, extortion and fraud have been prosecuted. The government has also organised multiple educational events to disseminate the Anti-Corruption Law.

Islands of change in the public sector demonstrate accountable and transparent governance, while the government continues to pledge its commitment to tackling corruption in its Rectangular Strategy for Growth. In October 2013, the prime minister issued a sub-decree demanding the proper taxation of importers by customs officials, to prevent customs revenue being undercut by bribery.https://www.transparency.org/news/featu ... the_future

You seem bent on denying the successful aspects of the present Government. I do not deny that there is room for improvement. It goes on to say:

These are welcome transformations, but they are incomplete. According to survey data from the International Republican Institute, the percentage of Cambodians perceiving the country to be headed in the wrong direction doubled throughout 2013 to reach 43 per cent, with 30 per cent of these respondents highlighting corruption as the top reason why change is needed. There is a danger the Cambodian government will settle for the successes of economic development while corrupt practices remain widespread.https://www.transparency.org/news/featu ... the_future

While I would not trust a survey by the IRI as evidenced by data I have already posted regarding their subversive agenda. I agree there is a need to address corruption, but this is a systemic problem prevalent throughout the region and beyond, and will not necessarily be eradicated by a change in government but a tightening and enforcement of relevant laws. . The Government has made progress in this area, but a lot more needs to be done.

With respect to the concept of Denial-ism. While I accept there are shortcoming that need to be addressed I do not deny the good aspects, in the same way the Transparency.org report you posted, (and I reproduced partially above) does. You on the other hand appear to be denying the good aspects and want to paint everything as "bad".

While I accept that people have particular political persuasions an favour policies of political parties it should not prejudice them from acknowledging achievements of the opposition. I have worked with people in FUNCINPEC both before and after 1997. There were a lot of competent people in the party, but Sam Rainsy was not one of them.

"A co-founder of the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), Rainsy was previously a member of the royalist Funcinpec Party and served as the Minister of Economy and Finance during Norodom Ranariddh's administration from 1993 until his sacking in 1994."

I suggest you do some background reading on Sam Rainsy and his negative effect on the population. I hope that might cure your "denilism" in this instance.

I stand by my post as strongly as it seems you stand by yours.
( SEE my new topic on Rhona for my thoughts on the content of your repeated, long-arse post).
It is a great analogy in that we all know how the German public looked the other way.

OK, I'm locking this thread and giving aseriousman a day off. It's becoming increasing clear he is just trying to troll us now, and I don't think his inflammatory posts do anyone any good.

You can generally express your opinions as you see fit on this forum, but making repeated personal attacks on the gov and the PM, and then backing it up by referencing Hitler, is best left to your personal FB page.
