Thaksin vows to Build Model Farms
Thaksin vows to Build Model Farms: "
Fugitive former Thai PM Thaksin Sinawatra on Tuesday vowed to build two model farms in Cambodia for local farmers to emulate, according to a Tuesday press release from the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF).
Thaksin’s promise came after an address on how to develop Cambodia’s economy after the global economic crisis.
However, no formal confirmation of the amount of money earmarked for the project, but one MEF official said that the issue will be discussed next month.
“To develop agriculture is very important … and is crucial because Cambodia has much potential,” the press release added.
The meeting apparently focused on meeting domestic demand and exporting to other countries, the press release confirmed.
The Thai billionaire telecoms mogul talked about how to develop the impoverished nation’s economy during the worldwide financial crisis and discussed agricultural reform.
Thaksin is living abroad, mostly in Dubai, to avoid a two-year jail term for corruption handed down by a Thai court in September 2008.
The visit to Cambodia by Thaksin, who was ousted in a 2006 coup, has further raised diplomatic tensions with Thailand, which flared last month when Phnom Penh refused to extradite him during his first visit as economic adviser.
The release of Sivarak Chothipong has also strained diplomatic ties between Bangkok and Phnom Penh. Thaksin visited Siwarak briefly in prison Sunday.
Thaksin won two elections in Thailand and remains an influential political figure at home, stirring up mass protests by his “Red Shirt” supporters against the current Thai government.

Beehive Radio Chief steps into Politics
Beehive Radio Chief steps into Politics: "
Beehive radio president Mam Sonangdo on Tuesday claimed that he will step into politics if the two Cambodia opposition parties agree to join and try to create real a democratic system.
“I will walk into political stage again if Sam Rainsy and the Human Right Party jointly create mechanism, leading to real democracy which not fight for power,” Morm Sonangdo told the press conference on Tuesday.
Mom Sonangdo was angered when authorities banned his pilgrimage to a pagoda located at the Cambodia-Thailand border, he said.
Mu Sochua, vice SRP secretary general told DAP News Cambodia that she and her party welcomed those who want to join democracy, but declined to answer further questions.
A Cambodian Government official insisted that it is the legal right of every citizen to enter politics or form a political party.
Chheang Vun, Cambodia People´s Party (CCP) Lawmaker in Battambang Province, said “To unite the SRP and HRP is their right, but CPP does not worry as the party is very strong already.”

Cambodian PM highlights NGOs' contribution to country's development
2009-11-24 16:59:39
PHNOM PENH, Nov. 24 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Tuesday highlighted the contribution of the civil societies and non governmental organizations that have participated in restoration and the development of the country with the government.
"We have to develop the country together including each individual and the NGOs have to continue to process their work for participation in the country's construction as partnership with the government," he told hundreds of members of non-governmental organizations at the 30th anniversary of NGOs partnership with the people and Cambodian government.
"We have to focus on the health, education, environment, good governance for rule of law and other fields to serve the benefit of the people and the country," he added.
In 1979, there were about five non-governmental organizations in the country and most of them on health services. But now there are over 3,000 NGOs to help the society and people, he noted. Cambodia is heaven for NGOs, he said.
At the same time, he said that NGOs should not worry about the upcoming draft law of NGOs management. The government wants to know the sources of capital for the NGOs process. That law will help to be transparent for NGOs' work in development of the country, and we do not want to see the overlapping investment projects as well as the budget in each year we spent for country' s development, he added.
Meanwhile, Hun Sen pointed out that some NGOs are getting the fund from other countries for their work against the ruling government and others are serving political party's benefit. "Good NGOs won't worry about that law," he stressed.
The government does not put limitation on freedom but the government wants the NGOs to work effectively, and the government opened freely for NGOs to register smoothly at Council of Ministers or Interior Ministry or international organizations registering with the Foreign Ministry for operating their work in the country, he said. "However, the NGOs is still the partnership for government in development of the country," he said.
The single most important contribution of NGOs to Cambodia is in building social capital, said Eva Mysliwiec, executive director of Youth Star Cambodia and representative of the organization committee. NGOs has continued to improve the basic services for people and Cambodian society and economy, rehabilitation of infrastructure and other fields that counted endless, she said.

Condemn the lifting of parliamentary immunity from Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) President Sam Rainsy
CCHR, CLEC, NICFEC and LICADHO
November 16, 2009
We, the undersigned members of Cambodian civil society, condemn the lifting of parliamentary immunity from Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) President Sam Rainsy by the National Assembly on November 16, 2009. The Assembly’s action is yet another blow to Cambodia’s faltering democracy, and continues the government’s disturbing trend of using the courts to intimidate and weaken political opponents.
Rainsy is the third SRP member to be stripped of parliamentary immunity – the second time this year only - in the past five months. Fellow SRP Parliamentarians Mu Sochua and Ho Vann were stripped of their immunity by the National Assembly on June 22, 2009. The latter was acquitted by the Phnom Penh court on September 22, 2009; yet, the National Assembly has failed to restore his parliamentary immunity back.
The Assembly’s practice of routinely stripping opposition party MPs of immunity raises grave doubts about Cambodia's democracy. Even more disturbing is the nature of the charges against these politicians, whose alleged crimes all stem from public expression of opinion on sensitive topics to the ruling party.
The Svay Rieng court is considering charging Rainsy with incitement and destruction to public property in relation to the uprooting of wooden posts set to mark Cambodia’s newly-agreed border with Vietnam which took place on October 25, 2009. The Cambodian government alleges that this act “incited” villagers to commit crimes; Rainsy claims that the markers were on Cambodia’s soil. Accusations were brought against Sam Rainsy after complaints by the Vietnamese government which enjoys a long history with the ruling party.
The Cambodia-Vietnam border issue is a sensitive issue. In late 2005, Beehive radio owner Mam Sonando was charged and sent to Prey Sar prison after Sonando broadcasted an interview in which Seang Pengse was critical of a border treaty signed by the Cambodian Government. Shortly after, Cambodian Independent Teacher Association (CITA) President Rong Chun joined Sonando in jail when the government accused him of incitement in relation to a joint statement signed by civil society leaders calling for the “mourning of lost land” to Vietnam.
Today’s events are a testament to Cambodia’s shrinking democracy, and the willingness of the ruling party – with the support of their partner National United Front for an Independent, Neutral, Peaceful and Cooperative Cambodia (FUNCINPEC) and the Norodom Ranariddh Party (NRP), it seems – to quash political dissent. This morning, all 87 members of parliament present at the National Assembly voted to lift the parliamentary immunity of Sam Rainsy. Members of National Assembly from SRP and Human Rights Party (HRP) were not present at the NA.
The lifting of parliamentary immunity and the increase in defamation, disinformation and incitement charges against journalists, civil society members and opposition party leaders is reminiscent of the 2005 crack down on opposition and nongovernmental voices. In that year, Sam Rainsy and two other SRP MPs, Chea Poch and Mr. Cheam Channy, also had their parliamentary immunity removed so they could face criminal charges filed by the government. Mr. Cheam Channy was subsequently imprisoned for a year after being unlawfully convicted by the military court on bogus criminal charges.
We urge the National Assembly to respect its principle of parliamentary immunity and for the Cambodian government and courts to cease harassment and end groundless legal attacks against opposition party politicians and other critics.

Cambodia says row should stay off US-ASEAN summit agenda
Bangkok/Phnom Penh - Cambodia said Friday that deteriorating relations between it and Thailand should not be discussed at this weekend's summit between the US and the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN).
Both countries are members of the ten-nation regional bloc.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Koy Koung said Cambodia would like ASEAN to help resolve the row, but felt the summit was not the appropriate venue.
'[Cambodia] will not get this issue involved in the US-ASEAN summit on Sunday,' Koy Koung said. 'Also we request that the other ASEAN leaders also not get this issue involved.'
Koy Koung said Cambodia wants the summit 'to proceed successfully' and remains open to any solution to the row with Thailand.
'Cambodia welcomes all means of solution - bilateral, multilateral, regional or international - we are prepared for all means of settlement,' he added.
The comments came after days of high political drama that followed the appointment last week of Thailand's fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra to advisory positions in Cambodia.
Thaksin arrived in Phnom Penh Tuesday before giving a speech to government officials and businessmen on Thursday.
Thailand was further angered when its request to extradite Thaksin was rejected by Phnom Penh, which regards his outstanding two-year jail term as politically motivated.
Earlier on Friday Thailand's Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya rejected as 'defamation and slander' Cambodian government claims that a Thai mechanic had spied on Thaksin.
Cambodian authorities on Thursday detained Siwarak Chothipong, 31, who is employed by flight control firm Cambodia Air Traffic Services, accusing him of seeking Thaksin's flight details and passing them on to unnamed government officials in Thailand.
Kasit said on Thai television the arrest was 'absurd' and 'a mischievous frame-up.'
Cambodia's national police spokesman, Kirt Chantharith, told the German Press Agency dpa late Friday that Siwarak Chothipong was in breach of national security laws and would be prosecuted. He faces up to 5 years in jail if convicted.
'He tried to get and transmit information abroad relating to the flight of Excellency Thaksin Shinawatra,' Kirt Chantharith said. 'We consider this activity is relating to the national security of Cambodia.'
The arrest of Siwarak Chothipong was swiftly followed by the expulsion of the first secretary at the Thai embassy in Phnom Penh for 'performing his duty contrary to his position,' Koy Koung said.
Some media reports have linked the two events, but neither Koy Koung nor Kirt Chantharith would confirm that.
The two kingdoms have already expelled each others' ambassadors.
Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said his government would not be lured into a trap by the Cambodian authorities, but would move cautiously.
Thaksin remains popular with much of the rural poor in Thailand due to his populist economic policies.
On Friday, 22 members of parliament and 15 senators signed a letter demanding that Ramkhamhaeng University revoke an honorary degree it awarded to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen.
One government legislator also demanded the Thai army should stop providing Hun Sen and his family with free health care, an arrangement that has allegedly been going on for decades.
Both countries are members of the ten-nation regional bloc.

Thai-Cambodia border remains normal: Thai commander
BANGKOK, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- The Thai-Cambodia border's situation has remained normal, Thai Army Region 2 Commander Lt Ben Veevarit Chornsamrit said Monday.
Thailand and Cambodia have downgraded diplomatic relations due to conflict over an appointment of ousted former Thai Premier Thaksin Shinawatra as an economic advisor to Cambodia's government on Nov. 4.
A day after the appointment, the Cambodian government recalled its ambassador to Thailand in a move to respond to the Thai government's recall of its ambassador to Cambodia.
However, the Thai-Cambodia border's situation has remained normal as by this time there was no factor to cause any border violence, Lt Ben Veevarit was quoted as saying by Thai News Agency.
The people at the border had also been living their lives normally, while the border trade was continuing as usual, he said.
The Thai commander said he has also kept reporting the border situation to Thailand's army chief General Anupong Paochinda.
Meanwhile, the relationship between Thai and Cambodian military was still good after a meeting with high-ranking military commanders of Cambodia last week, Lt Ben Veevarit said.
But, Capt Charn Wongwaimethee, the border police commander in A-ran-ya-pra-thet district in Thailand's northeastern province of Sa-gaew bordering Cambodia rejected reports that borders between the two countries would be closed.
Thai authorities at the border have assured Cambodian traders that they should not panic over the border closure's rumor.
Over the weekend, Prime Minister Hun Sen announced in Cambodia that Thaksin will visit Cambodia this week after he has been named as the country's economic adviser.
On Nov. 12, Thaksin will hold a briefing with over 300 Cambodian economic experts at the Ministry of Economy and Finance, Hun Sen said.
Thaksin was ousted by the military coup in September 2006, in accusation of corruption, and has been kept in exile since then.
He returned to Thailand in February 2008 to face corruption charges, but he later fled into exile again and was convicted in absentia.

PAD calls on PM to revoke 1907 map, push Cambodian soldiers off Thai soil
The People's Alliance for Democracy Monday called on Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to revoke the 1:200,000-scale map that demarcates the Thai-Cambodian border as per the 1907 treaty between Siam and France, and push Cambodian soldiers off Thai territory.
Pipop Thongchai, a PAD leader, said his group had submitted 11 documents detailing agreements signed between Thailand and Cambodia since the reign of King Rama V.
The group has also proposed that the government review eight issues that put the country at a disadvantage due to certain pacts signed by previous governments.
