Letter About

THE CAmbODIA DAIly
national Assembly President
heng Samrin has refused to forward to Prime Minister hun Sen a
letter from an opposition lawmaker
asking that a group of rubber plantations owned by Vietnamese Army
commanders be canceled because
they violate the Constitution.
The January 25 letter from CnRP
lawmaker Um Sam An follows a
Cambodia Daily report in December
revealing that the Vietnamese military had gradually assumed ownership of four rubber plantations inside
Ratanakkiri province along Cambodia’s border with Vietnam totaling
nearly 40,000 hectares.
Yesterday, Assembly spokesman
and administration chief Leng Peng
Long confirmed receipt of the letter
and said it would not be making it
into the prime minister’s hands.
“Samdech [Mr. Samrin] did not
send this letter to Samdech Prime
Minister because he believes that this
letter is the propaganda of an individual and is without merit,” he said.
In his letter, posted to his Facebook page, Mr. Sam An claims the
economic land concessions (ELCs)
violate the Constitution because
they amount to Vietnamese Army
bases—despite there being no evidence of military activity on the land.
“Please, Samdech, check and

'ang pao,' small amounts of cash handed out for Chinese New Year. More than 300 people—including

China Accused of Skirting Law in Int’l Arrests
By Ned LeviN
THE WASHINGTON POST
hong kong - Beijing is increasingly
reaching across mainland China’s
borders to apprehend and repatriate political opponents and activists
in a way that undermines international law, lawyers and rights
groups said.
In several cases, China has bypassed procedural hurdles to transferring individuals of interest to its
soil and, some of these people fear,
carried out operations outside Beijing’s jurisdiction in hong kong
and Thailand.
“What is emerging is the new Chinese way to return its own nationals
to face justice on the mainland,” said
Simon Young, a law professor at the
University of hong kong. “This new
way need not reckon with law and so
extradition agreements will not be so
important.”
Among those who have disappeared or been repatriated amid
President Xi Jinping’s growing
crackdown on dissent, rights groups
say, are five hong kong publishers
of Chinese political gossip, including
one who was in the territory and one
in Thailand at the time. others in
Thailand include a journalist seeking refuge, two activists who were
recognized as refugees by the U.n.
and dozens of Turkic Uighur minority members. Two in the group are
European citizens.

British singer Adele made clear

China’s extraditions from Thailand are aided by the Thai militaryrun government’s close ties with
Beijing and the two nations’ extradition treaty, experts said. Asylum
seekers are vulnerable in Thailand
because the country doesn’t formally recognize them. Instead, the
office of the U.n. high Commissioner for Refugees has limited authority to grant asylum requests
there for resettlement in other
countries.
“There’s no guarantee of our

asylum seeker in Bangkok. “The

whether Adele, whose album “25”
was the biggest seller in the U.S. last

n There’s some good news for would-be wizards worldwide who just
don’t see themselves living in Scotland. In a series of posts on the Pottermore fan website, “harry Potter” author J.K. rowLiNg revealed that “there
are 11 long-established and prestigious wizarding schools worldwide, all
of which are registered with the International Confederation of Wizards”
in the fantasy world of the “harry Potter” book series. Rowling had previously hinted at the existence of a north American wizarding school but
revealed its name only last week: Ilvermorny. That’s all the information
she’s giving north American fans at the moment. “The precise location
of each of the following schools is a closely guarded secret,” Rowling explained, adding that “as a general rule, magical schools tend to be situated
in landlocked, mountainous areas, as such regions are difficult for Muggles to access, and easier to defend from Dark wizards.” (LAT)

requests for comment on its extradition policies and ties with China.
In Washington this week, a U.S.
State Department spokesman said,
“We remain deeply concerned by
the disappearance of five hong
kong residents” associated with
two bookstores. The cases, he said,
“raise serious questions about China’s commitment to hong kong’s
autonomy.”
Many lawyers and activists say
Thailand’s deportation of about
100 members of the Turkic Uighur minority last year to China,
where many Uighurs face religious and racial discrimination, ran
against an international legal principle called “non-refoulement,”
which prohibits sending victims of
persecution back to their persecu-
tors. A UnhCR official called the
deportations “a flagrant violation of
international law.”
Many countries have declined
to sign extradition treaties with
China because of concerns about
the fairness and transparency of
China’s criminal justice system.
Chinese state news agency Xinhua said the Uighurs had been on
their way to Turkey, Syria or Iraq
for jihad, and that 13 of them had
fled China after being implicated in
terrorist activities. Xinhua said the
transfer was in accordance with a
Thai-Chinese police cooperation
arrangement.

Also on his Facebook page, Mr.
Sam An accuses Mr. Samrin of violating both the Constitution and
the Assembly’s internal rules by
refusing to forward the letter to
Mr. hun Sen.
“Samdech heng Samrin has
used his rights, powers and position
in the name of the national Assembly beyond their limits,” he wrote.
Mr. Peng Long said the Assembly president had the authority to
decide what letters reach Mr. hun
Sen, who, he argued, had already
provided a thorough public accounting of Cambodia’s long-standing
border disputes with Vietnam.
“Samdech President [Mr. Samrin] did not violate the Constitution
as accused because Samdech has
discretion when sending documents to the government,” he said.
“And Samdech Prime Minister has
already explained this, so if he
sends the letter it would be useless.”
Mr. Peng Long added that the
ELCs in question must be legal because the prime minister approved
them. “The actions of the government in providing the economic
land concessions are not wrong because Samdech Prime Minister
does everything based on the law,”
he said.
Mr. Sam An, who is in selfimposed exile, could not be reached
for comment yesterday. The opposition lawmaker has been among
the most outspoken critics of the
government’s ongoing demarcation of the Cambodia-Vietnam border and has decided to remain
abroad for fear of arrest following
public accusations of incitement.
Mr. Sam An’s colleague, CnRP
lawmaker ou Chanrith, yesterday
rejected Mr. Peng Long’s interpretation of the rules defining the Assembly president’s powers.
“It’s not correct,” he said. “All letters, no matter what, should be
sent to the government, on any
issue...and let the government
respond.”
The opposition has accused Mr.
Samrin of unjustly blocking its letters to government officials several
times before.
As for the ELCs in Ratanakkiri,
Mr. Chanrith said it was not the
CnRP’s official position that the
four plantations constituted foreign
military bases in breach of the Constitution and that the sites needed
to be investigated further.

Plainclothes Police Arrest Two Unionists at Factory Protest
B y K hy S ovuthy
the cambodia daily
Plainclothes police grabbed two
unionists at a protest outside a garment factory in Kompong Speu
province yesterday morning, shoving them into an unmarked Toyota Camry and speeding away,
union officials said.
Police confirmed that the pair
was taken to the provincial court,
where they were charged with incitement and intentional violence
over protests outside the factory,
then sent to the provincial prison.
Moeun Sara, a Free Trade Union (FTU) official, was taking part
in the protest, part of a prolonged
industrial dispute over the firing of
three unionists at the Cerie Garment factory in Samraong Tong
district in November.
Mr. Sara said workers had
been protesting outside the factory each morning since January 4,
calling for the management to
comply with a non-binding Arbitration Council decision in December instructing them to rehire the sacked workers.
He said the size of the strike
and the accompanying protests
had shrunk over the past month
as more and more workers returned to their stations for fear of
being fired. Yesterday morning,
he said, about 30 workers were
still outside the factory when
plainclothes police swooped in.
“This morning at 8:15, after we
stopped protesting and were
preparing to go back home, there
were about 10 people wearing
normal clothes who came to
arrest us, and we ran away, but at
that time they arrested two people,” Mr. Sara said, naming the
arrested FTU officials as Yong
Leap and Touch Srun.
“We don’t know why they came
to arrest us like this because we did
not commit any crime,” he said.
Provincial deputy police chief
Nhem Sao said the unionists were
arrested over a complaint from
non-striking workers who scuffled
with the protesters last month.
“They were arrested for involvement in incitement and intentional
violence and we sent them to the
court in the morning,” Mr. Sao
said, adding in the evening that
the pair had been charged and
sent to prison to await trial.
Court officials declined to comment on the case.
A man who answered a telephone number listed for factory
management said there was no
problem at the factory and hung up.
Ken Loo, secretary-general of the
Garment Manufacturers Association in Cambodia, which counts
Cerie among its members, said the
FTU had followed legal procedures
in the dispute, apart from burning
tires during a protest.
“But up to that point, they tried to
follow all the legal procedures; the
strike only happened after the arbitration ruling,” he said, adding that
------
his association encouraged factory
owners to respect such decisions.
Mr. Sara of the FTU said that
unionists and workers would protest
at the provincial labor department
today calling for the release of their
colleagues, despite receiving information that nine more protesters
were wanted for arrest.

Foreign Affairs Minister Dodges Defamation Case
The Phnom Penh Municipal Court has thrown out a defamation case
against Foreign Affairs Minister Hor Namhong that was filed by Khmer
Power Party (KPP) President Sourn Serey Ratha in December after Mr.
Namhong called the politician’s supporters terrorists. Mr. Serey Ratha and
three other men were convicted in January 2015 of plotting an attack
against the government in a case widely seen as politically motivated and
lacking inculpatory evidence, but have since received royal pardons. He
filed his lawsuit with the municipal court after Mr. Namhong, during a
press conference in December, said members of Mr. Serey Ratha’s
Khmer People’s Power Movement had “committed terrorism in Cambodia.” Yesterday, the KPP posted to Facebook a letter from deputy court
prosecutor Meas Chanpiseth stating that the case had been thrown out.
The letter offers no explanation for the decision, and Mr. Chanpiseth
could not be reached. KPP spokesman Tep Virak said the party would appeal the decision, which he said demonstrated the court’s lack of political
independence. “It shows that the court does not provide justice,” he said.
Mr. Namhong’s lawyer, Kar Savuth, welcomed the decision. He has
argued that the foreign minister did not defame anyone because the
words “plotting” and “terrorism” were more or less the same. (Khy

Police Boss Blames Malaysia, Singapore for Influx of Drugs
b y K hUon n arim
The CamboDia Daily
National Police Commissioner
Neth Savoeun yesterday blamed
weak border controls in Malaysia
and Singapore for an influx of
cocaine, methamphetamine and
other dangerous narcotics into
Cambodia.
During a closed-door meeting
with Interior Minister Sar Kheng
and provincial anti-drug officials on
the second day of an annual drug
conference in Phnom Penh, General Savoeun said drugs were
being smuggled into the country
at unprecedented levels by plane
from three regions: Africa, South
America and the Golden Triangle.
“From all three zones, drugs are
importedtoCambodiathroughthe
airways. They are sent through the
post office, carried by hand and
under the skin,” he said, adding
that 10 source countries had been
identified but naming only five:
Nigeria, Brazil, Burma, Thailand
andLaos.
Gen. Savoeun said Malaysia and
Singapore were the only two nations that could serve as air-transit
points between the 10 nations and
Cambodia.
Siv Channa/The Cambodia Daily
National Police Commissioner Neth Savoeun, left, and Health Minister
Mam Bunheng speak during the second day of an annual drug conference
at the Interior Ministry in Phnom Penh yesterday.
“We have to wonder: Why are
drugs being imported through
wealthy countries?” he said, going
on to express frustration that Cambodia’s past role in disrupting drug
routes to both countries was not
being reciprocated.
“Those are the two transit countries, and the drugs still end up in
Cambodia even though we have
cooperated in the past on this
problem.”
According to the National Authority for Combating Drugs, the
government seized 1,620 kg of
drugs in 2015, with marijuana accounting for the vast majority. Drug
cases and related arrests more than
doubled year-on-year.
During yesterday’s meeting,
Gen. Savoeun also suggested
amendments to existing drug laws,
including streamlined regulations
to ensure that property seized from
traffickers did not go missing.
“For property confiscated from
drug traffickers, the procedure is
very complicated. It shouldn’t take
that long to immediately give property...to the state,” he said.
The general also suggested a
lower threshold for the amount of
heroin an individual must be caught
in possession of to earn a prison
sentence of 20 to 30 years. The figure currently stands at 80 grams, he
said.
Independent drug specialist David Harding said concerns about increasing drug trafficking raised in
the meeting put the growth in seizures into perspective.
“The increase in seizures...could
be associated with the fact that their
performance has not improved but
that the sheer level of traffic is going
up at such a rate that they are catching more incrementally,” he said.
Mr. Harding said drug laws in
Cambodia were already strict, if
erratically enforced, and that proposing yet harsher punishment was
“really dodgy,” as most countries
were moving away from minimum
sentences for minor possession.

Gang Members Charged After Beating Teenager With Helmets
b y b en S oKhean
The CamboDia Daily
Five members of an all-female
gang in Siem Reap City were jailed
on charges of aggravated violence
on Monday after using motorcycle
helmets to beat a 16-year-old high
school student unconscious on Saturday afternoon following an argument on Facebook, officials said
yesterday.
Military police say they are still
searching for more than a dozen
other members of “Sreynik’s
Gang,” who lured Kang Darina
and two friends to a quiet street
with the offer of a truce but instead
“welcomed them with helmets.”
“The reason for the fight was
an argument on Facebook,” said
Uy Choy, chief of the provincial
military police’s penal bureau, citing corroborative statements
from the suspects and victim,
who is in stable condition at the
provincial referral hospital with a
fractured skull.
At about noon on Saturday, Mr.
Choy said, Darina had been chatting on Facebook with Toek Dalin,
16, a fellow student at Dop Makara
High School, and addressed her as
“me”—a derogatory term for a
woman—even after she demanded
to be called “che,” a title of respect.
“But the victim refused because
she and the suspect are both 16
years old, and because Darina is a
grade 10 student while Dalin is only a grade 8 student, saying, ‘Why
would she call the suspect ‘che?’”
the bureau chief said.
“When the victim arrived
at the scene, about 20
other gangsters on 10
motorbikes also arrived
and welcomed them with
helmets.”
—Uy Choy,
provinCial military poliCe
penal bUreaU Chief
Later on Saturday, he said, Dalin
sent a message to Darina asking
her to meet on Street 60 in Siem
Reap City’s Ampil commune to settle the matter peacefully. Wary of
her schoolmate’s intentions, Darina agreed, but brought two
friends with her.
“When the victim arrived at the
scene, about 20 other gangsters
on 10 motorbikes also arrived and
welcomed them with helmets,”
Mr. Choy said, explaining that the
suspects—girls and women in
their late teens and early 20s—
removed their helmets and threw
them at Darina and her friends,
ages 16 and 17, before using them
to beat Darina unconscious.
“The suspects used the helmets
to beat the victim and badly injure
her. The doctors found that she
had broken her skull,” he said,
adding that the friends only sustained minor injuries.
When military police arrived at
the scene, “Sreynik’s Gang” fled
on motorbikes, Mr. Choy said,
adding the investigating officers
apprehended five gang members
at various locations around the city
on Sunday—including Dalin and
20-year-old Tim Sreynik, the
gang’s leader.
“There are not only five suspects. There were a lot of people
involved in this case. We are seeking to arrest them,” he said.
Nhem Seila, a deputy provincial
military police commander, said
the five were charged with aggravated violence at the provincial
court on Monday and sent to prison to await trial.

A chicken thief was killed in Kampot province on Monday night after
accidentally electrocuting himself while attempting to disconnect a lightbulb inside a farmer’s coop, police said yesterday. Vein Nhen, 36, had
already stuffed two sacks full of hens from a bamboo coop behind a
house in Chumkiri district’s Trapaing Raing commune and was in the
process of filling a third sack when he decided to cut through a wire leading to a lightbulb inside the coop with a pair of metal scissors, according
to Sok Sakann, a coroner for the provincial police. He explained that the
light was programed to come on twice each night to encourage the chickens to eat. “The thief couldn’t easily catch the chickens with the light on,
so he cut the wire,” the coroner speculated. Deputy provincial police chief
Sao Sam Oeun said that Vein Nhen, a resident of neighboring Snay
Anhchit commune, was found dead in the chicken coop early yesterday
morning, with a black mask over his face and a hammer tucked into his
belt. He said the thief was killed by his own greed. “If he had just taken
the two sacks he already had, he wouldn’t have died.” (Saing Soenthrith)

Workers Continue to Protest at Interior Minister Disappointed
Factory After Alleged Attacks By Results of New Traffic Law
B y a un P heaP
the cambodia daily
A group of workers who claim
they were attacked on Monday
by men carrying meat cleavers
and steel pipes waged a protest
outside their factory in Kandal
province yesterday, calling for the
reinstatement of eight workers
they say were unfairly dismissed.
Seang Rithy, president of the
Cambodian Labor Solidarity Union
(CLSU), said that hundreds of
workers protested in front the Star
Light Apparel Manufacturing factory inside the 7NG Special Economic Zone to demand that eight
employees be allowed to return to
work.
The protesters also called on the
factory to compensate them for a
car and two motorbikes that were
destroyed by about 40 security
guards and other plainclothes
men as they attacked workers
Monday—leaving eight of the
demonstrators injured, he said.
“The workers demanded the
company’s owner take responsibility for the damage of the workers’ property because the security
guards from the company destroyed them during yesterday’s
fight,” Mr. Rithy said.
The union leader said he was
working with lawyers to compile
a complaint to file with provincial
police accusing the factory and
SEZ of orchestrating the attack,
which left one worker hospitalized after being hacked in the
back with a meat cleaver.
Negotiations between unionists
and factory managers broke down
at the Khsach Kandal district office
yesterday as factory bosses refused to budge on their vow not to
allow the eight sacked workers to
return, said CLSU representative
Phorn Neuk, who was among
those who say they were attacked
on Monday.
“The company kept a strong
stance not to allow the eight
sacked union officials to return to
work because they told the meeting that the eight people were lazy
in their work,” Mr. Neuk said.
Din Chandy, an official from the
provincial labor department, said
negotiations would continue today.
“We will try to negotiate...and
ask the company to let the eight
unionists return to work,” he said.
Factory and SEZ representatives could not be reached.
B y B en S okhean
the cambodia daily
Just over a month after the
highly publicized show of force to
implement the new Land Traffic
Law, Interior Minister Sar Kheng
questioned why road accidents
were still occurring at an alarming rate during a meeting on
Monday with police, military
police and government officials.
Despite the launch of the law on
January 1, Mr. Kheng said the ministries of interior and public works
recorded more casualties due to
road accidents in January, when
182 people were killed and 951
injured, than in December, when
148 died and 881 were injured.
“We need to find the reasons.
Why are traffic accidents still increasing?” Mr. Kheng asked his audience.
He then suggested a number of
ideas in an increasingly impassioned
tone on how to combat what he said
were key causes of accidents: speeding and drunken driving.
“I think the first step is that we
need to use the modern equipment to catch people speeding...
[and] capture images of the face
and identify the drivers,” he said.
The minister ordered traffic police to patrol from 11 p.m. to 3
a.m. in order to make an example
of drunken drivers.
“We should know how many
drink shops there are! Let's put
the [police] vehicles waiting nearby, and the shop owners should
cooperate with the authorities,
and tell them if someone drunk
needs our help,” Mr. Kheng said.
“If police can catch just two or
three people, they will begin to
fear the law,” he added.
Addressing Mr. Kheng, Kompong Speu provincial governor Ou
Sam An said he believed unlicensed truck drivers were a major
contributing factor to the deaths
and injury of workers who use the
vehicles to travel to and from work.
Mr. Sam An said that, according to an informal survey he conducted at two separate meetings
with truck drivers in his province
last month, the majority did not
have licenses.
“In Kong Pisei district, out of
365 drivers only one-third had a
driving license. And in Odong district, among 300 drivers only one
had a driving license,” he said.

Witness Tells KR Tribunal of ‘Hatred’ Toward Vietnamese
B y P eter F ord
thE Cambodia daily
The Khmer Rouge tribunal
heard testimony yesterday from a
military commander involved in
Pol Pot’s capture of Phnom Penh in
1975 who later commanded naval
units patrolling Cambodian waters
off Koh Kong province.
Meas Voeun was the deputy
commander of the Division 1 military unit from early 1976 until August 1978. According to Victor
Koppe, a defense lawyer for Nuon
Chea, Mr. Voeun held a “similar
position” to Heng Samrin, the current president of the National Assembly, when Phnom Penh was
taken.
The ongoing case against
Khmer Rouge leaders Khieu Samphan and Nuon Chea is currently
focusing on charges of genocide of
Cham and Vietnamese populations
during Democratic Kampuchea.
Mr. Voeun told the court he had
attended a meeting of the navy,
army and air force officers after the
Khmer Rouge came to power at
which he saw Pol Pol and Nuon
Chea.
Called as a defense witness by
Mr. Koppe, Mr. Voeun was asked

ers in their waters.
“When a ship encroached on our
territorial waters, we would deploy
our ships in order to inspect what
kind of ship had encroached,” he
said, explaining that the unit possessed five boats: two U.S.-made
swift boats and three faster Chinese
vessels.
“For a fishing boat we would
chase it away, but if we were fired
upon we would return fire,” he said.
Mr. Voeun said his unit would
sometimes aid or team up with the
neighboring Division 164, which
was commanded by Meas Muth,
who has been charged with crimes
including genocide in the tribunal’s
pending Case 003. He could recall
just one case of an “off-course” boat
filled with Vietnamese refugees,
which was handed over to Division
164.
“They were not considered enemies; they were considered ordinary people who were afraid of war,
just as we had been afraid,” he said,
adding that he did not know what
happened to the refugees after they
were handed over to Meas Muth’s
division.
Under questioning by the prosecution, however, Mr. Voeun said
that any Vietnamese left in Cambodia once the Khmer Rouge came
to power were to be killed.
“We were instructed that the
Yuon needed to be smashed,” he
said, using a sometimes derogatory
term for Vietnamese. “During Democratic Kampuchea, they were
not allowed to live in Cambodia....
We hated the Yuon people.”
In the morning session, commune chief Sao Van concluded his
testimony by recounting a radio
broadcast by Khieu Samphan, the
Khmer Rouge head of state, concerning Lon Nol and other senior
government and military officials
ousted by Pol Pot’s regime.
“Only a group of elites were to be
blamed; seven of them were to be
on the list of execution,” Mr. Van
said. “Ordinary soldiers, rank soldiers and civil servants,” he added,
were spared.
Mr. Voeun’s testimony is due to
continue today.

professional misconduct, the lawyers said in a statement yesterday. In October 2014, lawyers for the Khmer Rouge head of state refused to attend
hearings after requests to postpone proceedings—while they prepared
their appeal to a guilty verdict in the case’s first phase—were rejected. In response, the Trial Chamber referred the lawyers to their respective bar associations and appointed standby counsel. However, the respective bars
found that lawyers Kong Sam Onn, Anta Guisse and Arthur Vercken had
not acted unprofessionally. In yesterday’s statement, the lawyers said they
forwarded the decisions from the Paris bar on Ms. Guisse and Mr. Vercken to the Trial Chamber three weeks ago. They said the Cambodian bar
decided on Mr. Sam Onn’s case in July. “The Bar Associations’ disciplinary
boards’ findings reflect the Trial Chamber’s judges’ complete lack of understanding of the role, duties, and work of a defence counsel,” it said.

Sen’s apparent common-man approach to social media—but had
mixed takeaways from the premier’s campaign.
At a coffee shop in Chamkar
Mon district yesterday, Teb San
Pisey, 24, the owner of a local
health-products firm, said she was
impressed with how “normal” Mr.
Hun Sen appeared online, but
speculated that his main concern
was public relations.
“I think Hun Sen gets more
likes now because he is going
down to the grassroots level. He
eats with the people. He talks with
the people,” Ms. San Pisey said,
adding that she had hit the “like”
button on Mr. Hun Sen’s page
about two months ago.
“Yesterday, I saw him doing
simple actions like eating Khmer
noodles at Wat Botum Park. First,
he ate alone, then he passed a
bowl of noodles to an old woman,”
she said. “I think he’s doing this to
gain in popularity...and to get the
benefits of that, but I cannot be
sure.”
Bun Phansey, 42, a tuk-tuk driver waiting for passengers near
Phsar Kap Kor, said that he had
only recently come back to Face-

maybe he does not.”
book after a monthslong hiatus—
returning to find his newsfeed
inundated with posts from Mr.
Hun Sen shared by his Facebook
“friends.”
“When I go on my new phone
to use Facebook, I now see him
giving money to noodle sellers
and exercising in the park,” Mr.
Phansey said.
“I think what he does is confusing. Maybe it is all just to make
people think he loves the people,”
he said. “But maybe he does not.”
Waiting for clients at the
Sorya Shopping Center, businessman Chap Visal, 36, said he
too had noticed the prime minister’s frequent uploads of “informal” photos.
“Sometimes I am not sure if
that is his official page or just a
personal page,” Mr. Visal said.
“I’m not sure if leaders in other
countries use Facebook like this.”
He stressed that while he had
“liked” both Mr. Hun Sen’s and
Mr. Rainsy’s pages, this was not

an endorsement of either leader.
“It doesn’t mean I support
[them] or not. We just need to
know what is going on in politics,”
he said. “Sometimes, I am looking
at their photos and I click ‘like’ but
I don’t really think about it.”
Speaking by telephone yesterday, local blogger Tharum Bun
said Mr. Hun Sen’s Facebook popularity was likely not simply the
result of a grassroots approach,
noting that he had seen a number
of “sponsored posts” for the prime
minister’s page pop up on his
Facebook newsfeed.
“One thing you can do to get
the content to go viral is spend
some money and the viral effect
can go even further,” Mr. Bun
said. “Anyone can get their marketing message, their political
message, or whatever, out easily.”
Asked whether the opposition
party was worried about Mr. Hun
Sen’s meteoric rise in Facebook
support, the CNRP’s deputy public affairs director, Kem Monovithya, said in an email that she
was more concerned by what the
country’s highest-profile politicians deemed Facebook-worthy.
“Facebook is one among other
platforms to communicate, what
matters is the content. I’d like to
see more substance and less narcissism on this platform from all
sides,” she said.

Artists and Activists in Burma
Fill New Parliament Positions
reuters
- Taking his seat in Burma’s parliament for the first time,
Myo Zaw aung, a one-time bodyguard for aung San Suu Kyi, acknowledged that the dozens of new
lawmakers from her national
League for Democracy had a
daunting task ahead.
“We’re facing an uphill battle,”
said the 35-year-old novice legislator. “Most of us have little experience in government, but we are
very determined to make it work.”
The new nLD members flooded the imposing parliament building on Monday, many clad in the
traditional burnt-orange tunics that
have been worn by the party for
decades and overwhelmed the
olive green of the army bloc as the
freshly elected legislature met for
the first time since Suu Kyi’s massive poll win in november.
Expectations are sky-high after
the nLD won about 80 percent of
elected seats, crushing the juntalinked ruling party and setting the
stage to replace the semi-civilian
government of President Thein
Sein.
“It was like a dream because
Daw aung San Suu Kyi fought
alone against the military—and
then she won,” said Khin Maung
Myint, a first-time nLD lawmaker
from Hpakant, a remote town in
the north of the country famous
for its jade production.
The former jade and gems trader
clutched a black suitcase given to
parliamentarians last week containing a starter kit for first-time lawmakers, including a copy of Burma’s military-drafted constitution
from 2008 and a basic guide to
lawmaking.
“It did not only shake [Burma],
it shook the whole world,” he said.
The 255 members of the nLD’s
lower house caucus come from
diverse backgrounds—artists, former political prisoners and smallscale entrepreneurs warily wandered the corridors of power together as they gathered to choose
a speaker for the chamber.
But they comprise two main
groups: experienced pro-democracy
stalwarts who were persecuted
and imprisoned under the junta,
and members of a younger generation that joined the party after the
country embarked on a process of
reform in 2011.
The two groups share two
things in common: They will be
forced by the 2008 constitution to
work with former enemies from
rangoon
the military; and they have very little experience governing.
Suu Kyi has to tread a fine line,
compromising between the changehungry party grass roots, the general
public and the army that still holds a
quarter of seats in parliament and
controls a large chunk of Burma’s
state apparatus.
Choosing the speaker is another
stop on the nLD’s journey that began in September, when the candidates hit the campaign trail and
canvassed votes in a well-organized
operation, which included rigorous media training.
Some activists left the party over
Suu Kyi’s choice of candidates as
she focused on creating a disciplined caucus, leaving some experienced activists out and making
room for well-educated younger
members who can enact laws—
and also could be more willing to
engage with the army.
Myo Zaw aung was expelled
from university in 2002 and was
acting as Suu Kyi’s bodyguard a
year later during what has become
known as the “Depayin Massacre,”
when her motorcade was attacked
by pro-junta thugs and 70 of her
supporters were killed in what was
seen as an assassination attempt.
“I was arrested and tortured, but
I can forgive the military. We now
have to work together to ensure a
smooth transition,” he said.
The nLD resembles less a
modern political party with a cohesive agenda, and more a broad
movement united by years of
struggle for democracy under Suu
Kyi’s charismatic leadership.
“I feel like the parliament is very
big and marvelous, but still most
people are poor,” said Myint Lwin,
a newly-elected nLD lawmaker. “I
want to fulfill the people’s wishes as
much as I can and make their lives
as marvellous as this parliament.”
The challenge now facing Burma’s new ruling party is to turn
vague aspirations into a coherent
policy platform.
King ngaih Mang, 42, a new
lawmaker from the Zomi Congress for Democracy Party, an ethnic party from Burma’s impoverished Chin State, offered an insight into the scale of the task.
“our region still doesn’t have
paved roads, it still has roads that
were paved during the Second
World War,” she said. “What we
need for our region is the infrastructure, roads, health care, all of
which are very necessary.”

Detention of Three Journalists Causes Public Outcry in China
B y J ulie M akinen
and C huan X u
los angeles times
- in a case that has attracted nationwide attention in China,
three journalists accused of writing stories critical of a local government in gansu province have surfaced after a two-week disappearance. but now they are facing
charges of extortion.
The incident in the small city of
Wuwei went viral after a letter—
reputedly written by the management of the Lanzhou Morning
Post, a newspaper that employs
one of the journalists—began circulating, accusing the Wuwei government of intimidating journalists
and fabricating criminal charges.
Morning Post management has
denied penning the letter that circulated online.
Among the detainees was
Morning Post reporter Zhang
Yongsheng, who has written several muckraking stories in recent
years. in 2014, he uncovered how
a criminal ring was forcing middle
school and elementary school students to sell their blood. in 2011,
he revealed how the police helped
a criminal to escape from custody.
Zhang went missing january 7
beijing
after he went to report on a blaze
apparently caused by a mismanaged firefighting exercise. His
family said that after the fire broke
out, Zhang received a text message from a local propaganda official in Wuwei warning him not to
cover the incident.
According to the letter, Zhang
expressed concern to his colleague
on the morning of his disappearance, saying that “the local propaganda office really wants me out of
Wuwei.”
After Zhang went missing, local
police said that he had been detained for “soliciting a prostitute” at
a spa center.
but now, Wuwei officials say
the three journalists were “leveraging their roles as reporters and
providers of public oversight to
repeatedly extort other people’s
property.” no other details have
been made public.
Though the police continue to
hold Zhang in detention, the other
two reporters—who work for
other Lanzhou newspapers and
are based in Wuwei—were released on bail january 25.
China’s government exercises
strict control on its domestic media. The country ranked 176 out of
200 on Reporters Without borders’
2015 Press Freedom index.
but even the state press appears
to have found the Wuwei case objectionable. China Daily, the country’s leading english-language
mouthpiece, published an editorial
Monday saying: “it is not just the
fate of three journalists that the public is concerned about. They also
want to know whether local judiciaries can operate independent of local governments.”
According to China Daily, the provincial government of gansu has
sent an investigative team to Wuwei
to find out whether “the reporters
have been framed for their critical
reporting on local affairs.”
in China, negative publicity is
widely regarded as irksome by local officials, who fear bad press
will jeopardize their chances of
promotion.
in a report released last week
on China’s media climate, the international Federation of journalists said that “journalists and
crews in the field were hampered
by physical harassment, especially when reporting on man-made
disasters that showed the authorities had failed to ensure public
safety.”
The Wuwei government’s handling of the journalists has roiled
Chinese internet users.
Many users of WeChat, a popular instant-messaging app, have
shared what they say is the mobile
phone number of Huo Ronggui,
the party secretary of Wuwei. Messages on WeChat encouraged people to call Huo and “demand an
answer” as to why the journalists
were detained. The number is now
out of service.
Meanwhile, on the news-sharing platform Sohu, netizens posted multiple pictures of Huo sporting different watches, suggesting
that he may have been involved
with corruption. in 2011, an official
in Shaanxi province was arrested
after people posted pictures of
him wearing 11 different luxury
watches. The official was sentenced to 14 years in prison for accepting bribes.
in the Wuwei case, China Daily
criticized “the covert way” local police detained the reporters and said
the two-week delay in announcing
their arrest had provided “fodder
for conspiracy theories.”
Authorities, the paper added,
need to “come clean as soon as
possible.”

US Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz speaks with his wife
Heidi Cruz by his side at a rally in Des Moines, Iowa, on Monday
after winning the Iowa Republican caucus.
Cruz Edges Out Trump in Iowa
Caucuses; Rubio Finishes Third
B y P hiliP R uckeR
and J enna J ohnson
des moines, iowa - U.s. senator
Ted Cruz of Texas rallied a broad
coalition of conservatives around
his anti-Washington message to
win iowa’s Republican presidential
caucuses monday night, edging
out donald Trump in their battle to
claim the party’s outsider mantle.
Riding a late wave of momentum, senator marco Rubio of Florida finished a surprisingly strong
third, just behind Trump, which
positions him as the leading
establishment choice when the
campaign moves to friendlier terrain in new Hampshire.
Trump—the brash billionaire
mogul whose populist rage and unconventional campaign have upended U.s. politics—fell short in
seeking a decisive victory that
would have fully validated his
unlikely place at the center of the
battle for the Republican presidential nomination. He comes under
new pressure to win next week’s
primary in new Hampshire, where
he has long enjoyed a double-digit
polling lead.
With nearly all precincts reporting, Cruz led with 28 percent, followed by Trump at 24 percent and
Rubio at 23 percent. The remaining eight major candidates
were far behind and in single digits. edison media Research estimated Republican turnout at
187,000 voters, about 50 percent
higher than four years ago.
Cruz was overwhelmed as he
claimed victory at a large rally.
“To God be the glory,” he said.
“Tonight is a victory for the grass
roots. Tonight is a victory for coura-
geous conservatives across iowa
and all across this great nation.”
At a moment of intense voter
anger and frustration with Washington’s gridlock, Cruz campaigned
proudly as a Beltway lightning rod.
He has been a divisive figure since
the moment he was sworn into the
senate in 2013, making more enemies than friends, even among his
party’s leadership.
“iowa has sent notice that the
Republican nominee and the next
president of the United states will
not be chosen by the media, will
not be chosen by the Washington
establishment, will not be chosen
by the lobbyists, but will be chosen
by the most incredible, powerful
force where all sovereignty resides
in our nation—by we the people,
the American people,” Cruz said.
For a Republican Party used to
anointing the candidate next in
line, all of them white men, the
success of Cruz and Rubio was a
historic departure. Cruz, 45, and
Rubio, 44—both sons of Cuban
immigrants serving in their first
terms in the senate—cemented
their roles monday night as serious contenders.
Addressing supporters in des
moines, Rubio sounded a triumphant and optimistic note, saying
he could unite the divided Republican Party.
“They told me i needed to wait
my turn, that i needed to wait in
line,” Rubio said late monday.
“But tonight, tonight here in iowa,
the people in this great state sent a
very clear message: After seven
years of Barack obama, we are
not waiting any longer to take our
country back.”

New Proposal to Keep Britain in EU Due; Skeptics Unmoved
ReuteRs
london - European Council Pres-
ident donald Tusk presented proposals yesterday for keeping Britain in the E.U., paving the way
for a potentially difficult summit at
which leaders will have to iron
out remaining differences.
Britain hailed a deal reached
with the E.U. on Monday allowing
nation states to block some legislation, the second step British Prime
Minister david Cameron says he
needs to persuade Britons to vote
to stay in the bloc in a referendum
which could be held in June.
But what was called “a breakthrough” did little to change the
minds of some euroskeptics in
Britain, who see Cameron’s renegotiation of the country’s ties with
the E.U. as little more than a waste
of time. one called Cameron’s demands “trivial.”

A man swings a chainsaw during Carnival celebrations in Ituren,
Spain, on Monday. Bell carrying dancers known as Joaldunak from
Zubieta and neighboring Ituren visit each other's villages to perform a
ritual dance to ward off evil spirits and awaken the coming spring.
Tusk said late on Monday that
good progress had been made in
talks to find agreement on the four
areas where Cameron is seeking
change. He will present his proposals in a letter to E.U. leaders before a summit on February 18.
Even Cameron’s ministers said
any deal would be hard won.
“It may be that the document is
so good that we say: ‘Yes, brilliant.’
But I rather doubt it,” Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond told reporters in Rome. “I suspect that
the document will be the basis of
further work that we need to do in
the run-up to the council. But we
will see.”
officials are keen to show Cameron has won agreement with
Tusk on two important areas of the
renegotiation—on stopping E.U.
legislation it opposes and on curbing migrants’ benefits.
A source said yesterday Tusk’s
proposal would have a legally binding provision allowing a group of 55
percent or more member states to
either stop E.U. legislation or demand changes to address concerns Britain has handed too much
power to Brussels.
officials also expect the text to
include a clause saying Britain
could suspend some payments to
migrants from the bloc for four
years, starting immediately after
the referendum, after meeting the
conditions to trigger a so-called
“emergency brake.”
Both should go some way to
appeasing critics of E.U. membership in Cameron’s party, but more
entrenched euroskeptics wrote off
the negotiations long ago, saying
they were not ambitious enough
in changing the relationship.
As well as curbing migration and
returning powers to Britain, Cameron also wants his country excluded from the E.U. goal of “ever
closer union” and says it should be
protected against moves by the 19
countries that share the euro currency to impose rules on london
by majority vote.
There is much still to decide,
including the suspension on welfare payments to migrants and
how to enforce protection for london’s financial industry, among
others.
Talks will continue up to the
February summit, but some euroskeptics say the difficulties in getting a deal are being played up to
make an eventual agreement
seem like a triumph.

InternatIonal
Kenyan Students Get Real About Sex, Contraceptives and Abortion
reuters
- Desperate female students used to knock on Catherine
Tweni’s door almost every day,
needing emergency treatment for
self-administered abortions.
Tweni, a nurse at Jomo Kenyatta
University of agriculture and Technology, 35 km from Kenya’s capital,
nairobi, often had to rush them to
the operating theater.
“Most of them used to come
with bleeding which was dangerous...maybe going into shock because of incomplete abortion,” she
told reporters.
abortion is rarely available in
public hospitals in Kenya, and
many women do not know how to
access a safe abortion.
Young women who wanted to
terminate pregnancies used to buy
pills over the counter in pharmacies, Tweni said.
“They were told: ‘When you start
bleeding, rush to the hospital,’” she
said, standing in the campus’ leafy
grounds.
Misoprostol, which causes contractions of the womb, can be
used for pregnancies up to 12
weeks. it is supposed to be taken
with medical supervision in case of
complications.
but the number of young wom-
nairobi
en at the university seeking help for
DiY abortions has fallen dramatically, Tweni said, since the introduction of a new sex education club
two years ago.
Pregnancies and sexually
transmitted infections have also
dropped, she said, while the number of students coming for contraceptives has risen to 20 to 50 a
month from one or two in the
past.
Life Planning for Fun
Some 3,500 students at JKUaT
have taken part in the brighter
Futures club, which encourages
them to write life plans with weekly
discussions ranging from careers
and relationships to health and
finance.
“it’s just so fun,” said Lilian Mutheu, 20, who is studying construction management. “You are told
about money matters, how to know
your values, your personality and
setting life goals.”
after writing a life plan, she
stopped hanging out with “bad
friends” who encouraged her to
skip classes and drink alcohol.
Students also receive a booklet
explaining the pros and cons of
condoms versus pills, injectable
contraceptives and implants.
“We try to demystify the various
methods,” said one of the club leaders, 23-year-old Felicity Karimi,
explaining that many girls believed
contraceptives would make them
infertile.
in conservative Kenya, parents
and teachers rarely discuss sex
openly with teenagers, leaving
them to glean information from
friends, the media and the internet.
There was uproar over plans in
2014 to introduce comprehensive
sex education in schools, with critics charging it would encourage
immorality.
one-quarter of sexually active
Kenyan women have an unmet
need for family planning, 2014 government data shows, and one in
five girls aged 15 to 19 are pregnant
or mothers.
“Sex is there,” said JKUaT’s
Dean of Students Emmah omulokoli. “Whether you talk about it or
not, it is going on among young
people.”
almost two-thirds of students at
JKUaT say they are sexually active,
according to research by Jhpiego, a
charity affiliated with the John
Hopkins University in the U.S.,
which is supporting the club.
“This is not a family planning
program,” said Jhpiego’s project
leader Manya Dotson.
“This is a program about helping
young people get excited about
their futures...and then thinking
about what are the realistic things
that might get in the way of that.”
one year after the club began,
the percentage of sexually active
students at JKUaT using a modern contraceptive increased to 72
percent from 52 percent, Jhpiego
said.
There are plans to introduce the
club in almost 30 other universities
across Kenya.
Kinyua Charles Karuri, 21, picks
up free condoms from the campus
hospital with a gang of friends.
“i come with my boys,” he said.
“it boosts your confidence.”
at the club, they played a game
called “#condommania” where different groups race to put a condom
on a plastic model.
“it’s a good game. it’s like an icebreaker,” he said. “it turns us into
professional guys during sex.”
The club is not without its detractors. The Christian Union is a powerful force on campus, as many students come from religious homes
where they learn that premarital
sex is a sin.
“according to them, the church
is teaching us not to have sex outside marriage and i am advocating
for the opposite,” said club leader
Karimi.
“We are not telling the students
to have sex. We are just telling
them if they decide to have sex,
there are options that can ensure
that they have safe sex.”
Kerry Says IS Pushed Back in
Iraq, Syria, but Threatens Libya
reuters
roME - an international coalition is
pushing back islamic State group
militants in their Syrian and iraqi
strongholds but the group is
threatening Libya and could seize
the nation’s oil wealth, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said
yesterday.
officials from 23 countries were
in rome to review the fight against
i.S. militants, who have created a
self-proclaimed caliphate across
swaths of Syria and iraq, and are
spreading into other countries, notably Libya.
i.S. forces have attacked Libya’s
oil infrastructure and established a
foothold in the city of Sirte, exploiting a power vacuum in the north
african country where two rival
governments have been battling for
supremacy.
“in Libya, we are on the brink of
getting a government of national
unity,” Kerry said at the rome conference. “That country has resources. The last thing in the world
you want is a false caliphate with
access to billions of dollars of oil
revenue.”
Under a U.n.-backed plan for a
political transition, Libya’s two warring administrations are expected
to form a unity government, but a
month after the deal was agreed in
Morocco, its implementation has
been dogged by infighting.
The U.S. is leading two different
coalitions carrying out airstrikes in
iraq and Syria that have targeted
i.S.
Western nations are also considering hitting the militants in Libya, a
gateway for tens of thousands of
migrants hoping to reach Europe.
However, they want a green light
from the planned unity government before acting.
Kerry said the anti-i.S. group
had made marked progress since
it last met in June 2015. iraqi
forces had since retaken ramadi
and i.S. had lost about 40 percent of
its territory in iraq and 20 percent in
Syria, he said.

NagaWorld’s Profits

nagaCorp, which owns nagaWorld casino in Phnom Penh,
saw a 20 percent jump in profits
last year, it said in a statement on
Monday. The Hong kong-listed
company’s annual financial statement showed an increase of
around $55 million in gross profits
to $327.8 million and a 26 percent
increase in gross gaming revenue
to $480.6 million. net profit—after
tax and other expense deductions
—rose by 27 percent to $172.6
million, driven by a growth in
international tourist arrivals to
Cambodia, the statement said.
The company also reported payments of $16.4 million in taxes to
the Ministry of Finance last year.
Last month, the Finance Ministry
reported a 33 percent increase in
tax revenue collection from the
casino industry to $34.7 million in
2015, which it attributed to enhanced enforcement efforts, including the collection of largely
untapped non-gambling tax revenues from restaurants, nightclubs and hotels. nagaCorp also
saw a significant jump in profits
last year, thanks to its strategy to
attract more VIP customers, particularly from China, the company
said in its previous annual statement. (Tej Parikh)

Corruption Keeping Economy ‘Mostly Unfree’
B y T ej P arikh
the cambodia daily
Cambodia’s “Economic Freedom”—a broad measure of how
well individuals and businesses
can create and protect their wealth
—was classed as “mostly unfree”
in a new report released by the
Washington-based Heritage Foundation, which identified corruption and bureaucracy as impediments to free markets.
With a score of 57.9 out of 100—
largely unchanged in five years
and just below global and regional averages—Cambodia ranked
112 out of 178 countries surveyed
in the conservative think tank’s
“2016 Index of Economic Freedom,” released on Monday.
It joins 62 other countries, including Vietnam, categorized as
“mostly unfree”—one step above
the “repressed” group, which
includes Laos and burma.
Higher degrees of economic
freedom fundamentally reflect a
nation’s ability to use free-market
systems—including labor, financial
and goods markets—to generate
and reinforce growth, and The Heritage Foundation measures this
freedom using indicators of rule of
law, government size, regulatory
efficiency and market openness.
The foundation says the economic opportunities of Cambodia’s
growing openness to trade and foreign direct investment are being
undermined by the absence of basic economic liberties.
“Cambodia continues to integrate more fully into the system
of global trade and investment,”
the report says. “[but] weak property rights, pervasive corruption,
and burdensome bureaucracy,
exacerbated by lingering government interference and regulatory
controls, continue to reduce the
dynamism of investment flows
and overall economic efficiency.”
Cambodia received its lowest
scores in the rule of law and business freedom categories, reflecting poor protection of property
rights and corruption.
“Increased foreign investment
has brought notable economic
growth but frequently involves
land grabs by powerful politicians,
bureaucrats and military officers,”
the report says. “The judiciary is
marred by inefficiency, corruption
and a lack of independence.”
“If growth is impressive right
now, it would be even more impressive without the dead weight
loss of government corruption,” Sophal Ear, author of “aid Dependence in Cambodia,” said in an email
yesterday.
“Economic freedom is important for a developing country like
Cambodia because governments...
act as gatekeepers and middlemen, extracting from the economy and the people,” he said.
David Van, managing director in
Cambodia for the consultancy firm
bower group asia, warned that an
uncertain business and investment
environment, a consequence of
weak rule of law, was limiting the
country’s competitiveness.
“The fact that Cambodia has
kept a ‘consistent’ very low score
for the last few years testifies to
no meaningful action and deep
structural reform,” Mr. Van said
in an email.
“Having just a handful of ministries engaging in some isolated
reform action does not suffice to
provide a comprehensive improved
business environment,” he said.
and while the report highlights
trade freedom as a notable success
for Cambodia—thanks to lowered
trade tariffs and reduced investment restrictions—Jayant Menon,
lead economist at the asian Development bank’s regional integration office, said free markets should
not necessarily be the overriding
goal.
“Countries can be too open as
well. overall openness needs to
consider a regulatory regime and
risk mitigation,” Mr. Menon said.
“The index is very pro-market;
few countries would embrace all
policy prescriptions.”
Mr. Ear, an associate professor
at occidental College in Los angeles, agreed that a balance must
be struck between reducing impediments to the free market and
offering a guiding hand.
“Rule #1: Stay out of the way,
and by this I mean, stop squeezing bribes out of people and businesses,” he said.
“Rule #2: act as a referee, not a
player, in the economy. Rule #3:
repeat rules #1 and #2.”

Thailand Gears Up for 1M Visitors in Lunar New Year

Freeport Asks Indonesia to Cut or Postpone $530M Smelter Bond
ReuteRs
jAkArTA - Freeport McMoran Inc.
has asked Indonesia to reduce a
$530 million smelter bond the local unit of the U.S. copper mining
giant must set aside before receiving an extension of its export
permit, Indonesia’s mining minister said yesterday.
Freeport’s six-month copper concentrate export permit expired last
week amid a deadlock over the
bond, which Indonesia has requested as a guarantee that the miner
will complete construction of another local smelter.
“They have appealed to ask
whether we can postpone it or give
them a discount, but we asked them
to show their commitment in another equivalent way,” Energy and
Mines Minister Sudirman Said
told reporters, referring to an exchange of letters with the Phoenixbased company.

world’s biggest copper mines in Indonesia’s easternmost province

of Papua, usually produces about
220,000 tons of copper ore a day. A
prolonged stoppage in shipments
would hit the company’s profits
and deny jakarta desperately needed revenue from one of its biggest
taxpayers.
Indonesia wants the deposit as a
guarantee that the mining giant will
complete construction of another local smelter. The amount would add
to an estimated $80 million Freeport set aside in july 2015 to obtain
its just-expired export permit.
Freeport Indonesia could not
be reached for comment yesterday. The U.S. miner wants to invest $18 billion to expand its operations at Grasberg, but is seeking government assurances that
its right to mine at Grasberg will
be extended.
Its current contract—which gives
it the right to work and develop the
Grasberg complex—expires in
2021. By Indonesian law, this contract cannot be extended until 2019
at the soonest.
A memorandum of understanding agreed in july 2014 between
the government and Freeport,
which ended a seven-month export stoppage and outlined a timetable for a contract extension and
smelter construction, had now expired, Said said.
An agreement that would maintain operations and investment
preparations ahead of contract
renewal talks in 2019 was a way
to resolve the current problems,
he said.
Alphabet Is Poised to Become World’s Most Valuable Company
By
anD

a nDrea C hang
Los angeLes times
Google got a new name and now
is on the brink of a new title: The
tech titan looks set to be crowned
the most valuable company in the
world, toppling fellow Silicon Valley
heavyweight Apple Inc.
The California-based Internet
giant on Monday reported earnings for the first time under the banner of its new corporate parent, Alphabet Inc. Its better-than-expected
earnings sent the company’s stock
up more than 8 percent, to $813, in
after-hours trading immediately after the release of its fourth-quarter
and full-year results.
At that price, Alphabet’s market
capitalization would be roughly
$559 billion, topping that of Apple,
which closed the day with a market cap of $534.7 billion. The last
time Google/Alphabet was valued
higher than Apple was six years
ago, before the first iPad debuted.
Google’s recent push to streamline its unwieldy businesses with
a new corporate structure and its
booming advertising machine
have energized investors. It posted
double-digit profit growth for the
fourth quarter while showing that
its spending on moonshot projects
such as self-driving cars and health
care devices wasn’t out of control.
For the three months ended December 31, Alphabet reported $4.9
billion in profit, or $7.06 a share, up
5 percent from the same quarter a
year earlier. It posted $21.3 billion
in revenue, up 18 percent from a
year earlier and better than the
$16.9 billion that analysts had been
expecting.
Increased usage of YouTube,
machine-purchased ads and Google search on mobile devices helped
drive the strong results, the company said.
Google began shuffling into the
Alphabet structure last year to separate its behemoth search-and-addriven businesses from its wideranging ventures in drones, investments, health care, self-driving cars
and more.
Under Alphabet, the company
led by co-founder Larry Page aims
to better organize those businesses by operating as a collection of
separate entities with different business models.
The largest is Google, which
contains core businesses including
search, ads, maps, YouTube and
Android. It’s managed separately
from investment arms GV and Google Capital and projects such as
Fiber, Nest, X, Calico and Verily
(formerly Life Sciences).
Individual units gain the flexibility to set their own budgets, but Alphabet expects to keep a tight watch
over spending.
The company posted a $3.6 billion loss in 2015 on those “Other
Bets,” as Alphabet calls them, but
they “were in the range that we
thought they’d be,” said Michael
Nathanson, an analyst at MoffettNathanson. Meanwhile, revenue
for Google’s core businesses exceeded estimates, adding up to
“pretty impressive results,” he said.
The momentum at Alphabet contrasts with concerns at Apple. The
iPhone-maker’s reliance on its flagship iPhone for most of its profit has
come under scrutiny as sales have
slowed in recent months. Shares
have moved downward since November, bringing its market capitalization closer to Alphabet’s value.
Alphabet sprinkled more good
news on Monday.
Google chief executive Sundar
Pichai said email service Gmail
had topped 1 billion users and
that the Play app store continued
to see revenue growth in emerging markets such as Brazil and India. He also noted that the number
of small and medium-sized businesses advertising on YouTube
doubled last year.
Advertising on YouTube has remained a force despite new video
ad offerings from Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and other social media apps.
Alphabet added more than 8,200
employees in 2015, bringing its
workforce to more than 61,800 at
year’s end.

Indian Mills Contracted to Sell Another Million Tons of Sugar
ReuteRs
new DelhI - Indian sugar mills have
already contracted to sell one million tons of sugar in the 2015-2016
season and expect to sign deals
for another million as exports head
for China, the head of an industry
group said on Monday.
“one million tons have been

of the million tons already contracted, about 700,000 tons have
left the country.
sawhney said that many of the
current and future contracts were
with Burma, where the sugar is
expected to be smuggled into top
importer China.
“It will go to China,” he said.
“The contracts are all through
Myanmar, and from there it’s just
being taken up-country.”
The smuggling of agricultural
products along China’s borders
with Vietnam and Burma has long

Kolkata last month.
been a problem. China’s sugar
industry has urged the government to tackle a resurgence in
smuggling there, with huge volumes of cheap sugar estimated
to have illegally entered in recent
months.
sawhney said domestic Indian
sugar production would reach
26 million tons in the 2015-2016
season, which runs from october to september, and would
probably see the same figure for
2016-2017.
India produced 28.3 million tons
in the 2014-2015 season.
“It is too early to tell, but most
likely there will no decrease and
no increase,” he said. “uttar Pradesh will most likely compensate
for the drop in Maharashtra and
Karnataka.”
The first back-to-back drought
in nearly three decades has hit
cane plantations in India’s key
producing states Maharashtra,
Karnataka and uttar Pradesh.
“Maharashtra and Karnataka
will certainly have lower planting
and lower availability of sugar
cane next year,” sawhney said.
sawhney said India would meet
its target of blending 5 percent
ethanol in all gasoline sold in
2015-2016 for the first time, and
even surpass it.
“we can cross 5 percent ethanol
blending,” he said.
oil companies have never met
the current 5 percent blending target as ethanol derived from molasses, the thick syrup produced
by boiling down sugarcane juice
in sugar refining, costs more than
gasoline, without including taxes.
Japan Sees 3rd Straight Year of Record-High Agricultural Exports
Kyodo
- Japan’s exports of agricultural, forestry and fishery products jumped to register a record
high in 2015 for the third consecutive year, helped by growing interest in Japanese cuisine overseas, the weak yen and the gradual lifting of import limits set by
other countries over radiation fears

disaster.
exports expanded 21.8 percent from a year earlier to $6.15

Asian countries and the u.s. posting particularly strong growth,
preliminary data by the Ministry

The total exceeded the $5.7
billion in exported agricultural

had hoped to achieve this year—
an interim threshold for the eventual goal of $8.2 billion in such exports by 2020. officials are mulling bringing forward that target

Business Brief -----South Korea Unveils Stimulus Steps as Exports Falter
------
- The south Korean government will unveil stimulus measures
today as a collapse in exports and cooling inflation threaten a fragile economic recovery. As a slowdown in China weighs on global growth,
knocking export-reliant economies from Brazil and europe to Japan and
Indonesia, Finance Minister Yoo Il-ho said seoul will take steps to boost
faltering momentum in Asia’s fourth-largest economy. “external uncertainties have increased since the start of the year due to volatile Chinese
stocks, falling oil prices and negative interest rates adopted by the Bank
of Japan,” Yoo said yesterday. underscoring the minister’s concerns,
data released on the day showed south Korea’s annual inflation rate
cooled to its lowest in four months in January. That followed downbeat
data on Monday showing annual exports in January slumping over 18
percent, with sales to China collapsing and adding pressure for more
easing steps to restore economic momentum. The consumer price index rose 0.8 percent in January from a year earlier, statistics Korea said,
down from a 1.3 percent increase in December and the slowest rise
since a 0.6 percent gain in september last year. The CPI increase was
slightly lower than the median 0.9 percent projected in a survey. Analysts
say the government stimulus measures will probably be aimed at job
growth and not involve additional public spending. (Reuters)

OpiniOn
Sub-Saharan Africa to Be One Epicenter of the Coming Oil Wave
B y M ichael M eyeR
Korea Joongang Daily
T
he idea that oil wealth can
be a curse is an old one—
and it should need no explaining. Every few decades, energy prices rise to the heavens, kicking off a scramble for new sources
of oil. Then, supply eventually outpaces demand, and prices suddenly crash to Earth. The harder and
more abrupt the fall, the greater the
social and geopolitical impact.
The last great oil bust occurred
in the 1980s—and it changed the
world. As a young man working in
the Texas oil patch in the spring of
1980, I watched prices for the U.S.
benchmark crude rise as high as
$45 a barrel—$138 in today’s dollars. By 1988, oil was selling for less
than $9 a barrel, having lost half its
value in 1986 alone.
Drivers benefited as gasoline
prices plummeted. But elsewhere,
the effects were catastrophic—
nowhere more than in the Soviet
Union, whose economy was heavily dependent on petroleum exports. The country’s growth rate
fell to a third of its level in the 1970s.
As the Soviet Union weakened, social unrest grew, culminating in the
1989 fall of the Berlin Wall and the
collapse of communism in Central
and Eastern Europe. Two years later, the Soviet Union was no more.
Similarly, today’s plunging oil
prices will benefit a few. Motorists,
once again, will be happy; but the
pain will be earthshaking for many
others. Never mind the inevitable
turmoil in global financial markets
or the collapse of shale oil production in the U.S. and what it implies
for energy independence. The real
risk lies in countries that are heavily dependent on oil. As in the old
Soviet Union, the prospects for social disintegration are huge.
Sub-Saharan Africa will certainly
be one epicenter of the oil crunch.
Nigeria, its largest economy, could
be knocked to its knees. Oil production is stalling, and unemployment is expected to skyrocket. Already, investors are rethinking billions of dollars in financial commitments. Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, elected in
March 2015, has promised to
stamp out corruption, rein in the
free-spending elite and expand
public services to the very poor, a
massive proportion of the country’s population. That now looks
impossible.
As recently as a year ago, Angola, Africa’s second-largest oil producer, was the darling of global investors. The expatriate workers
staffing Luanda’s office towers and
occupying its fancy residential
neighborhoods complained that it
was the most expensive city in the
world. Today, Angola’s economy is
grinding to a halt. Construction
companies cannot pay their workers. The cash-strapped government is slashing the subsidies that
large numbers of Angolans depend
on, fueling popular anger and a
sense that the petro-boom enriched only the elite, leaving everyone else worse off. As young people call for political change from a
president who has been in power
since 1979, the government has
launched a crackdown on dissent.
On the other side of the continent, Kenya and Uganda are
watching their hopes of becoming
oil exporters evaporate. As long as
prices remain low, new discoveries
will stay in the ground. And yet the
money borrowed for infrastructure
investment still must be repaid—
even if the oil revenues earmarked
for that purpose never materialize.
Funding for social programs in
both countries is already stretched.
Ordinary people are already angry
at a kleptocratic elite that siphons
off public money. What will happen
when, in a few years, a huge and
growing chunk of the national budget must be dedicated to paying
foreign debt instead of funding education or health care?
The view from North Africa is
equally bleak. Two years ago,
Egypt believed major discoveries
of offshore natural gas would defuse its dangerous youth bomb, the
powder keg that fueled the Arab
Spring in 2011. No longer. And to
make matters worse, Saudi Arabia,
which for years has funneled money to the Egyptian government, is
contemplating what was once
unthinkable: cutting Egypt off.
Meanwhile, next door, Libya is
primed to explode. A half-decade of
civil war has left an impoverished
population fighting over the country’s dwindling oil revenues. Food
and medicine are in short supply as
warlords struggle for the remnants
of Libya’s national wealth.
These countries are not only dependent on oil exports; they also rely heavily on imports. As revenues
dry up and exchange rates plunge,
the cost of living will skyrocket,
exacerbating social and political
tensions. Europe is already struggling to accommodate refugees
from the Middle East and Afghanistan. Nigeria, Egypt, Angola and
Kenya are among Africa’s most
populated countries. Imagine what
would happen if they imploded and
their impoverished residents all
started moving north.

The Miracle Preventative AIDS Drug That People Aren’t Taking
B y R ichaRd M oRgan
the washington post
W
hen the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration
approved a drug to reduce the risk of HIV infections in
July 2012, gay men rejoiced. If
taken daily, Truvada works like a
vaccine against HIV, effectively
halting its spread. The U.S. Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
hailed it an “important new tool” in
the fight against the disease. Slate
called it “a miracle drug.” U.S. President Barack Obama imagined an
“AIDS-free generation.”
It hasn’t worked out that way.
Truvada isn’t making gay men
healthier and safer; few are using
the drug at all. And after years of
decline, sexually transmitted diseases are spreading fast across the
U.S. From 2005 to 2014, HIV diagnoses jumped 6 percent among
men who have sex with men, with
spikes of 101 percent among
Asians, 24 percent among Latinos
and 22 percent among blacks. Six
in 10 gay African-American men
will be HIV-positive by their 40th
birthday, according to some estimates. Transmission continued to
climb even after Truvada hit the
market.
Doctors worry that we’re heading toward a health mega-crisis,
fueled by the fantasy that sex in
2016 is safer than it was in 1986.
And gay rights groups are largely
to blame. Rather than educating
men about Truvada, they’ve focused on stamping out the stigma
around HIV. Not only do these
campaigns minimize the dangers
of the disease, they tiptoe around
strategies for prevention. After all,
why worry about catching something that isn’t a big deal?
Truvada has tumbled into a culture of careless cheerleading that is
putting gay men in danger.
In 2004, Truvada hit the market
as an HIV treatment called PEP, or
post-exposure prophylaxis. But scientists quickly saw the drug’s potential. With a couple of tweaks,
PEP became PrEP—pre-exposure
prophylaxis. It works like birth control: Users who take it daily are up
to 99 percent protected against
HIV, even if they have unprotected
sex with someone who’s positive.
The U.S. FDA approved Truvada’s use as PrEP in 2012. It was pre-
cipitous timing. The rise of successful HIV treatments and broader cultural acceptance of gay life had
turned HIV from grim reaper to
nagging doctor, emboldening gay
men to view condoms as cliche or
passe. Indeed, gay slang for
condom-less sex is “uninhibited.”
Unprotected sex among gay men
jumped 20 percent from 2005 to
2013; 57 percent of gay men said
they had unprotected anal sex at
least once in 2011. As sex-advice
columnist Dan Savage said, “People are acting like it’s 1978 again
and we’re all at the Mineshaft.”
Truvada, researchers figured,
would offer another form of protection against HIV, which 492,000
gay U.S. men are at high risk of
contracting, according to the CDC.
Yet so far, only 21,000 prescriptions
have been written.
One problem is cost: Truvada
runs about $1,300 a month. But it’s
covered by most insurance plans,
and Medicaid and many municipalities regularly distribute the drug
for free. Gilead, Truvada’s maker,
offers discounts, too.
There’s also the stigma. While
Truvada is the gay U.S.’ guardian
angel, its users are persistently labeled “Truvada whores”: men who
sleep around, unsafely. Others
worry that they’ll be pegged as
HIV-positive, since Truvada can be
used as a treatment for those already infected. One ongoing study
of young gay men found that 79
percent knew about Truvada but
only 11 percent had tried it. Many
non-users said stigma kept them
away.
Additionally, many men are reluctant to take on the burden of a
daily medication regimen. Others
are just bad at keeping up with a
daily pill. From 2012 through
2015, one set of researchers tried
to get 557 men and transgender
women who have sex with men
to take the pill for 48 weeks and
attend a handful of study visits. A
fifth didn’t stick with it. In another
48-week study, 200 young men
were given Truvada and told to
take it daily. By the end, only 35
percent were regularly doing so.
An additional 30 percent had
stopped their intake entirely.
In other words: Though Truvada saves us from HIV, we still need
saving from ourselves.

US Gov’t Turns Blind Eye to Policies That Fuel Sex Trafficking
By Ma r k La g o n
L a i La M i c k e Lw a i t
and
T
THE WASHINGTON POST
he International Labor Organization reported in 2014
that forced commercial
sexual exploitation generates a startling $99 billion per year. Every day,
millions of women and girls around
the globe are being coerced to
have sex for the financial gain of
the pimps and traffickers who
abuse and exploit them.
Whenever strategies for the
elimination of sex trafficking are
discussed, one theme consistently
emerges: the importance of prevention through demand reduction. It seems like a no-brainer that
reducing demand for commercial
sex will reduce the exploitation of
women and girls in the commercial sex industry. When a country
allows for the legal purchase of sex,
demand increases, as does the supply of women and girls needed to
meet that demand. The reverse is
also true: When countries prohibit
the purchase of sex, fewer men
buy, and fewer women and girls
are trafficked. Legislation aimed at
curbing demand for commercial
sex can prevent sex trafficking.
In 2004, the U.S. State Department noted, “where prostitution is
legalized or tolerated, there is a
greater demand for human trafficking victims and nearly always an increase in the number of women
and children trafficked into commercial sex slavery.” This view has
been shared by Republican and
Democratic administrations. Last
year, the U.S. State Department’s
Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons reiterated: “If
there were no demand for commercial sex, sex trafficking would
not exist in the form it does today.
This reality underscores the need
for continued strong efforts to
enact policies and promote cultural
norms that disallow paying for
sex.”
So the U.S. State Department
continues to talk the talk, but unfortunately it is unwilling to walk the
walk. Year after year, the department sidesteps the most critical
aspect of determining whether
nations are truly “making serious
and sustained efforts to reduce the
demand for commercial sex,” as
the Trafficking Victims Protection
Act mandates. Punishing those
who seek to purchase commercial
sex is the one proven indicator of
whether a country is making efforts to reduce demand.
Take Spain, where purchasing
sex is legal and most detected trafficking cases are for the purpose of
prostitution. The U.N. Office on
Drugs and Crime noted that 39
percent of the male population in
Spain admitted to purchasing sex
at least once. According to a 2007
Spanish government study, sex is
purchased between 900,000 and
1.5 million times a day in a nation of
47 million. Cities attract and cater to
tourists for whom purchasing sex
is an expected part of the nightlife.
La Jonquera’s Club Paradise, one
of the largest brothels in Europe,
boasts of having more than “200
girls” who work in 101 rooms to cater to desires of men who buy sex

without consequence.
According to the U.S. State Department’s global Trafficking in
Persons report, there may be as
many as 400,000 women being
prostituted in Spain, and up to 90
percent of these women are trafficked and coerced into prostitution
by organized crime—meaning up
to 360,000 women are victimized.
Yet for the past 14 years, Spain has
received a “Tier 1” ranking in the
report, meaning the country is in
full compliance with minimum
standards set forth to eliminate trafficking. There has been no mention of the fact that the legality of
purchasing sex in Spain is a magnet for human trafficking. In the
2014 TIP report, the department
even gives Spain credit for prevention of trafficking: “the government
[of Spain] continued prevention
efforts through a variety of public
awareness campaigns involving flyers, banners, exhibits, and other
displays.” No amount of flyers
should warrant giving a nation that
allows men to buy sex with impunity a “passing” grade on prevention
of human trafficking.
Enough is enough. Any national
government having the authority
to criminalize the purchase of commercial sex should do so. It’s time
for the U.S. Congress to pass pending legislation sponsored by
Republican Randy Hultgren that
would update the Trafficking
Victims Protection Act to require
future TIP reports to assess sexpurchase laws when determining
whether nations are making serious efforts to reduce demand for
commercial sex.
The grades the U.S. gives in its
global TIP report matter. They can
sometimes cause diplomatic indigestion, but they have propelled nations to improve their conduct. If
they took seriously the need for nations to hold to account the men
who buy women and girls for sex,
they would be a stronger tool. It is
high time to stop saying “boys will
be boys” and recognize that abolishing sex trafficking requires placing the stigma on the purchaser rather than the commodified women
and girls they buy.

Tomato Paste Gets Its Own Historical Museum in Santorini
B y D eBra B runo
the washington post
They had me at the words “tripleconcentration tomato paste.”
That’s not to say that Santorini’s
Tomato Industrial Museum, set inside the stone shell of one of the
Greek island’s former tomatoprocessing plants, didn’t have other
charms. But the flavors we had just
sampled at lunch made a visit to a
museum all the more meaningful,
especially when we could buy a
jarred version of those flavors in the
museum gift shop.
Santorini’s famous cherry tomato (also called Tomataki Santorini)
is thicker-skinned, sweeter, deeper
red and larger than garden-variety
cherry tomatoes, looking like a flattened heirloom tomato. It’s said
that its taste comes from the unusual growing conditions. Never irrigated, the plants draw their moisture from their roots in the island’s
volcanic soil, which harbors just
enough moisture to make the intensely flavored tomatoes thrive.
As the story goes, a Capuchin
monk brought the tomatoes to the
island in 1818, and tomato farming
took off. By the 20th century, islanders had developed the processing plants for one of the is-
land’s signature products, tomato
paste. “It was the right place and
the right tomato,” said tour guide
Polina Gioltzoglou.
In the heyday of production in
the 1950s, nine factories ran on
Santorini, all constructed with the
island’s plasterlike soil and deepgray volcanic rock. The Nomikos
family, which still owns the property, built their factory in the town of
Vlychada on the southern end of
Santorini following the style of the
curved dome roofs that appear all
over the island.
Today the Tomato Industrial
Museum highlights that past,
inside one of the factories that
farmers once reached with mules
laden with wicker baskets full of
tomatoes.
Petros Nomikos, grandson of
Dimitrios Nomikos, company
founder, says by phone from Athens that he remembers the factory
production during his childhood.
The Vlychada factory was opened
in 1945 by his father, George.
In July, when tomato processing
went full tilt around the clock, the
factory was “full of a nice tomato-ish
smell,” he said. The workers were
all friendly, and not just because he
was one of the Nomikos family
members. “It was something like a
social place for them,” he said.
“Like the church on Sunday, which
was a good excuse to meet other
people, also being in the factory
was a social event as well.”
But it wasn’t an easy life. The factory operated without electricity,
which didn’t reach the population
centers of the island until 1967, and
relied on coal-burning furnaces for
power. In addition, water on Santorini is so scarce that the factory
piped in seawater to wash the tomatoes and cool the steam that
rose from them as they cooked. All
of the tomato paste factories were
situated along the coastline so that
they could pipe in seawater, said
Nomikos.
Gioltzoglou said farmers would
turn in their baskets of tomatoes
and wait. Good tomatoes stayed;
bad ones were returned to them to
feed their farm animals. The seeds
would also go to the farmers so
they could plant for the next year,
Nomikos said.
Nomikos, 53, says he has a vivid
memory of visiting the factory as a
university student and coming face
to face with barefoot farmers who
were bringing the tomatoes in on
mules. “It was like going into a time
warp,” he said .
Inside the museum, quiet since
the factory’s last run in 1981, heavy
machines dating from 1890 illustrate the process, which began
with washing, then cooking, peeling, boiling down and finally canning. At its peak, the factory processed 3,500 baskets of tomatoes a
day, first firing the machines with
coal and later with fuel oil. After
Easter, the same workers returned
to the factory to make the cans that
held the paste.
Nomikos remembers precisely
when electricity finally reached the
factory—long after the factory shut
down. It was July 7, 1995, the day
before his wedding. The reception
was held in the building. “The family history was there,” he said.
The tomato canning industry on
Santorini declined as tourism became the more lucrative venture
for most Santorinians. The Nomikos family now runs factories in
other parts of Greece as well as in
Turkey and Bulgaria.
Today, tourism is the only meaningful economy on the island, with
hotels and restaurants springing up
everywhere, nearly all, of course,
featuring the Santorini tomato in
various forms.
