Cambodian autocratic leader to hand power to eldest son in predetermined election 

Hun Sen is quite mad, son probably has the same genetic traits, Cambodia has no chance going forward.

Just call it a monarchy Cambodia. Watching them hold "elections" like the west is like watching a kindergarten class reenact the battle of Waterloo

didn't realize there was a north korea 2.0 in the form of cambodia

I’m hopeless to any reforms for the next transfer power family’s dynasty.

Who financed his studies abroad? The people. Corrupt to the bones.

Having been a Khmer Rouge cadre directly responsible for crimes against humanity, it seems Hun Sen is immune from prosecution.

Same Game-plan Deployed in India too. Disqualify the Main Opposition. 😂

Whatever happened in the election. I own wish one thing Peace and happiness for the Khmer people. Hopefully, his son can bring Cambodia to the next level !!.. Only can hope and pray !!.. I'll be doing both !!..

Pity for cambodian people..no changes at all..

Thank you for covering Southeast Asia.

Whole of south asia and south east asia is graveyard of democracies.

Cambodia has been progressing the past few years because of China’s debt. The country has been borrowing aggressively (70% of debt to gdp ratio). Laos is currently in big trouble because of the same proposition (100% debt to gdp ratio).

Like father like son Cambodia never change.

Cambodia is following North Korea.

from Hun Sen to Hun Son

And the people interviewed and I assume most of the population say: "I hope he improves this, and that, and that, and that, and that..." LOL So plenty of petitions for the son of a guy who ruled for 30+ years and dint improve anything eh? Wow with citizens like that no wonder dictators hand their power to their families. Most of the world is like this.

Next Turkmenistan

Like Father like son, Even though Hun Manet is educated from the west The democracy still far from reach for Cambodian People.

Thank you so much for covering the news in Cambodia. It’s evident that there are numerous luxury cars in the capital, Phnom Penh. However, there are also many starving Cambodians in the countryside, including the areas between Phnom Penh and Kampot. Due to the global warming situation and the reduced rice production, there’s an increase in crime and drug-related issues, especially affecting children and the elderly. For instance, people are even stealing pets, which is heart-wrenching. Additionally, many Cambodians feel threatened when it comes to speaking out about their leaders.

No matter how high and well educated a person get, he/she brings no change to the current situation. They'll make it worse. In fact, Everyone who works for ministries, are either forced or volunteerily joining the CPP.

4:55 that’s wrong too. For people with low income, the medical expenses is almost free but some choose to travel to Vietnam or Thailand because it is more advanced than in Cambodia. It is more expensive in Thailand and Vietnam than in Cambodia.

Pretty sure China has approved it. Basically Cambodia is a defacto protectorate ruled by China. Same with Laos.

The importance of leaders is that they are truly heroic to people at all levels, not to be overlooked in their spirit.

Thanks for uploading. Greetings from native/ indigenous Khmer in Vietnam.

AHHHH 🇰🇭IMAGINE🇰🇭 THERE’S NO WAR…NO KILLING FIELD, NO GENOCIDE…WE ALL LIVING LIFE IN PEACE; NO DESTRUCTION, NO HARM…JUST PEACE, LOVE, JOY AND HARMONY 🌾🇰🇭❤️‍🔥🇰🇭🌾‼️ YOU MAY SAY I’M A DREAMER, BUT I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE…🇻🇳CPP🇻🇳!

Have they forgotten Pol Pot ?

If you want a change and fair an elections prays and ask Vietnam they are the boss !

Some election 😂

Kim Jong Un was educated in the West. Don't hope too much.

The people seem comfortable with the family arrangement. .

WILL NOT ACCEPT HUN MANET as the new Cambodian PM! He done nothing but a YES man to his father!

North Korean send a huge congratulations to Cambodia.

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, FOUR DECADES LATER AND 🇰🇭WE🇰🇭 ARE STILL IMAGING…PEACE, FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY FOR CAMBODIA! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND UNJUSTIFIED FOR CAMBODIANS CITIZENS🥀🇰🇭💔🇰🇭🥀🍂!!

Predictably Sad...!!!

It’s normal, just like every other country in Asia, and most anywhere in the world.

The news reporter said "President". It's wrong! The country's leader is the Prime Minister, NOT President. Declaring himself President = conflict with the existing King of Cambodia as the ceremonial head of state.

When did public school start charging students?

Membership in the Cambodian government is not have been written or an obligation for a party member. Every Cambodian has the right to this if he or she has the quality and value of humanity and enjoys the trust of the majority of people in the country and also in international relations. This man deserves more recognition than anyone else and the so-called opposition parties who only have certificates but do not have much experience as a leader or responsibility for the 15 million people who are still suffering from the war of the last 40 years. It also needs to know the country's infrastructure well and have gut and better networks. From the Internet portal Lerning, would not be a good statesman and could not take responsibility for a country with over 15 million inhabitants. It's not meant to be a competition to compare degrees of foreigner univercities or have lived/studied in foreign countries, but they weren't integrated at all in the foreigner societies where they exiled, then they are also like million westerners world, who have to look for something else.

CPP builds a strong structure with business owners, so the new generation has no choice but to be forced to display support. People are still struggling to survive, and the rich or the power disobey the law easily.

"predetermined election" Also known as an oxymoron.

Democracy is hypocracy .....poor country can't afford democracy before industrialization of the country

He already said his grandchild will be president after Hun Manet! And i am sure Vietnam will took over Cambodia in the 70 yrs or so

Cambodia's People Party won but it's had no value😅

I am stone out. Any real news of all his other sons together runnng and owning the country?

There was No OPPOSITION in Voting Ballots. It was Always One party the CPP party.... 👎❌👎❌👎

Here we go again

The Cambodian Peoples Party are an outstanding government! Leave Cambodia 🇰🇭 in peace!!

What was the point of spending money on the election, when the outcome is always the same? How much education an individual has doesn't mean much if he continues to practice the footsteps of the norms, injustice? Time will tell, let see what Hun Manet can do for Cambodia and its people with his educational background from such prestige universities.

Wow Cambodia

Cambodian People’s Party won 120 seats and the royalist FUNCINPEC Party won 5 seats.

The son will be a puppet of his father 😂😂

I’m hopeless to any reforms for the next transfer power family’s dynasty.. Pity for cambodian people..no changes at all...

selection or election ?

It’s a shame leader!

It's going good

Cambodians should stand firmly ,they had oppressed and supressed for a great deal and sacrificed alot ! No body came for rescue !

Unreal!

When America bomb Combodia western media not talking.

Representative democracy doesn't necessarily mandates a government from people, to people, and for people. Rather than directing forward a better policy change, there are loopholes like who can votes and who else can be voted, yet still no solid assurance or mutual control for these empty cheque not turning sour or candidate own interests. Not to mention the formation of coalition parties could further shifted the public discourse into bargaining powers between parties' interests. If we may observe hope, any political system reflects its people's pursuit of quality, if we may observe hope. In this case, "No Comment" or "I hope so" by the "elected candidate", we can almost declare the absurdity of this "so-what" moment a miracle among hopes. I don't believe such politician would works any harder than an investigative journalist. So I provide here my admonition and implementary intention towards a functioning participatory democracy system where people themselves could roll up their sleeves, put on their thinking caps, directly participate, investigate, debate, reflect, experience, negotiate, monitor, vote or change their minds on any legal referendum until a deadline. Build trust, not hope.

For those who don't know about Cambodia, it's belonged to the Vietnamese communist after the false-flag operation in 1979 to overthrow the Khmer Rouge regime (A genocidal regime that once time used to be their ally for fighting against the Khmer Republic that backed by the US). After taking control over Cambodia more than 10 years it began to withdraw in 1990 when the USRR was no longer powerful enough to give its weapon. But they left beside the ethnic Vietnamese that able to speak Khmer and some loyal Khmer puppets to reign over Cambodia since then for the continuation of exploiting its people and resource. No wonder why Cambodia still needs importing ton of agricultural products from the Vietnam eventhough about 80% of Cambodia people are farmer. It's not about racial discrimination, it's just about fact.

Why do western countries keep letting autocrats children study here?

With so few viewers it's obvious that people are not interested in Cambodia election. The country has been so peaceful that people do not think it's news worthy anymore. I just came back from Cambodia.

yeah young western educated next gen leader worked out GREAT for north koreans and saudis

Pol pot lives on...

We are not recognized this guy or his father is the leader cause the their result always cheated

*You always have limits to who is allowed to take part in an election. Maybe this is simply an election where one single person is allowed to vote. Fair enough, I guess?* 😐

Bravo Dr. Hun Manet 👍

That's right ! Selection not election. He has long been groomed to the role, premier.😅😅

I hope the new government will improve the health system .

Somehow those who live outside the country claim to "know" better than people who activities live in Cambodia.

Pity this people. Just call him king at this point. He's acting like one.

I live in PP and I think this is a good thing. The healthcare is horrible I broke my leg here and that I think is the biggest issue. Also I have never seen so many rolls Royce's in my life lol

Hello, DW

Election & Selection

CẢM ƠN VÌ SỰ BÌNH YÊN…….. 🇻🇳CPP🇻🇳⁉️ 🌾🇰🇭☠️🇰🇭🌾KHÔNG, CẢM ƠN BẠN⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

And the king sit in his house watching Cambodia in pain same as his father

Former Prime Minister Hun Sen devoted his life to help sparing Cambodian people from civil war in 1975-79. His son was also born at the end of that tragic time. He has high education and best leadership who is highly qualified to be our new Prime Minister. During Covid-19 pandemic, PM Hun Manet and the first lady led team to fight against it and we finally minimize our impacts of Covid.

This article is about to show the interesting facts about Cambodia. Ankor wat Facing to the west, because our ancestors built this monument for the future even, when the second sun comes ,the west will become to be the east , and a very even will happen in Cambodia. You know a richest country in the last day ,that your Bible says An island in the east and the island in the west, where ? It's Cambodia , not Philippines. Our ancestors still alive, they are preparing for a time comes, they do meditation and live in a deep inside of mountains. Sorry i forgot how English called it. (Kanal) We are Khmer but the word khmer was written in complex style ,was read as khem mac rac not khmer. When Thai occupied Cambodia they read this word as khmen(r) not in the complex style, in normal style, so the word khmer was born , so we have to names khmer and Khem mac rac. Khmer had the killing field because of Vietnamese they pretending to be khmer, impostor like Pol Pot , even Hun Sen , too. Now Hun Sen is pushing khmer to very danger of nuclear by giving land to China, our ancestors, too predicted that...

A hereditary monarchy in the making

กูนี่แหละบอกจีนให้ช่วยเหลือประเทศด้อยพัฒนามากแล้วจะรอดจากสงครามการเป็นต้นตอของโควิดตอนนี้อเมริกาอ่อนแอจีนจะถอนทุนคืนจากประเทศด้อยพัฒนาทั้งหมดล้อมรอบจีนเพื่อขยายอำนาจเริ่มจากการรวมชาติกับไต้หวันเป็นอันดับ สรุปคือกัมพูชาเวียดนามจะถูกกดหัวเป็นแค่ลูกหนี้ไทยสามารถคุยกับจีนเรื่องพื้นที่ทับซ้อนทางทะเลได้อย่างง่ายดาย ทรัพยากรกัมพูชาคือขิงองจีน

What a joke 😂 I feel bad for the people in Cambodia

Thank you dark souls

Hun Manet, he is nothing to do without followers his dad planted

Please use subtitles, this dubbing is so cringe

Myanmar is a Buddhist country. Am I right folks?

Typical response of an autocratic regime. As if the son has any merit.

Congratulations!

What is not mentionrd hete is thst he is a very qualified person. Did his education in USA. Also a PhD from an American university. In assition is a 4 star general. Not easy to go wrong. Hun sen followed the path of LKY.

Change is needed through the will of the people with a free and fair election
