It is because that people do not understand well and they think the war really breaks out if the CPP lost. To this point, CPP always understand well the people’s feelings. and then it takes this opportunity to take advantage of politics from military conflict with Thailand in order to get a boost for voting from people, particularly people living along border with Thailand.

I always track the conflict issue between Thailand and Cambodia over the disputed border. As you know, after election day last week. the conflict of troop buildup around Preah Vihear have not been made it tense like before election. By the way, the local media seems not so much to report about Preah Vihear like before election. why?

And just as I predicted, the tension at the border will not stop because the election is over. This is a scary time for Cambodia. A one party government. With no one there to overlook. They can do whatever they please.
