Cambodia's ruling party spokesman has dismissed a report that the Prime Minister inflated the number of likes on his Facebook page. Prime Minister Hun Sen, of the Cambodian People’s Party, recently announced he had reached 3 million “likes” on the social media site. He joked that his popularity made him the Facebook Prime Minister. He joined Facebook six months ago. Hun Sen appeared to have overtaken opposition leader Sam Rainsy’s 2.2 million likes. Sam Rainsy, head of the Cambodian National Rescue Party, has been on Facebook for at least five years. Wednesday, a report released from The Phnom Penh Post newspaper said that only about 20 percent of Hun Sen's recently added fans were Cambodia-based users. The report noted numbers from the media analytics company socialbakers.com. Many of the “likes” came from countries whose citizens would have little reason to support Cambodia’s long-time ruler.
