The Facebook page of Prime Minister Hun Sen continues to rack up more “likes” from abroad than from within Cambodia, a week after the Post first reported the unusual trend. From March 8 to March 13, the premier’s page gained approximately 151,000 new fans, according to data from social media analytics website socialbakers.com. Of these accounts, only 34,069 hail from Cambodia.

India makes up 22,932 of the international contingent, bringing the total size of the prime minister’s Indian following to 360,791 – 11.5 per cent of his fan count. Thousands of new accounts from the Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar, Brazil, Mexico and Turkey have also continued to “like” the page.

Outside firms can be hired to create these kinds of "appearances" and there is absolutely no limit to the funds this criminal despot dictator has access to. So, why not make himself look more popular. He is despised by his own people. And many countries are harboring the illusion that he is a fairly elected PM, within a functional democracy. Nothing could be further from the truth. He is a murderous, thieving thug.
