Laos announced 190 candidates for Election 2011 included 5 independent candidates
ສ່ອງແສງ
The National Election Committee has announced a list of 190 candidates
to contest the general election on April 30.
The announcement was made at a press conference in Vientiane yesterday
where the committee confirmed that the list of candidates meets the
requirement that all Lao people be represented at the next legislature
of the National Assembly (NA).
There will be a total of 132 seats available in the next legislature.
The candidates were selected to represent all social classes, ethnic
groups and genders, with 47 women standing for election.
Of the total 190 candidates, 47 were selected from the central level
and the remainder from the local level. Only four candidates are from
state-owned enterprises and another five candidates are from private
enterprises.
Only 45 of the total 115 current NA members will contest as candidates
for another term, of which 11 are women.
National Election Committee member Mr Thongsy Ouanlasy said that 140
of the candidates hail from ethnic groups that use Lao-Tai based
languages, 28 from Mone-Khmer language groups and 15 are from
ethnicities that use Hong-Ewmein based languages.
The majority of candidates are aged between 51 and 55, with 30.5
percent in that age bracket, followed by those aged between 56 and 60
with 22.6 percent and those aged between 46 and 50 with 22.1 percent.
According to the National Election Committee, 22 candidates hold a
doctorate, 36 a master's degree and 55 candidates a bachelor's degree,
with the rest holding lesser educational qualifications.
Many of the candidates, about 20 percent, have a background in the Lao
Front for National Construction and other mass organisations, with
other candidates having served in legislature organisations, economic
bodies, the Lao People's Revolutionary Party, the social and culture
sector and security forces.
A general election is held every five years in Laos. The last vote in
2006 saw 115 NA members elected from 175 candidates.
This year's election is different from previous votes as the Election
Law now stipulates that each constituency will have at least 5 member
representatives, including the smaller provinces with a population of
less than 150,000.
The increased number of NA members at the provincial level is a move
towards the establishment of professional NA members and branches in
all constituencies in the future.
According to the existing law, all Lao people, irrespective of their
gender, ethnicity, beliefs, social status and profession, who are at
least 18 years old, have the right to vote; and anyone who is at least
21 years of age has the right to be elected as a member of the NA. The
law also states that there must be at least one NA member for every
50,000 people.
The NA is a legislative body that plays an important role in approving
the fundamental issues of the nation, as well as overseeing the
performance of the government, people's court and prosecution.

election at all. It look like a list of people that your gogernment
select to do his duty. Election mean the person who want to elect for
the position have to campaign and must have debate going on so the
people will elect who ever the best for the job.
Do people know who in the list will be the best for the job? Any
fliers, radio station, tv and commercial talk about ideas and how the
people in the list will lead if elected? If no such thing happen than
it is lie.

No matter what kinds of candidates and elections are held in Laos, it
is completely meaningless per the Lao PDR Constitution, which makes it
very CLEAR:
Chapter 1, Article 3.
"The rights of the multi-ethnic people to be the masters of the
country are exercised and ensured through the functioning of the
political system with the Lao People's Revolutionary Party as its
leading nucleus."

This AIN'T an ELECTION but a SELECTION. It does no matter what kind
of PAINTS your Commies use, the OUTCOME is the same, unless the REGIME
change... Your propaganda and act as mouthpiece for YONG AIN'T gonna
work for free folks.
Her Lao
Vietnam, and Laos conduct their FREE AND FAIR AND DEMOCRATIC ("the
local style") elections is like watching and reading the Inquisition
CAREFULLY, ORDERLY putting together a trial of those convicted of
santanic rituals, witchery, idolatory activities, blaspheme, heresy
and other such capital crimes...
Participants, convicts, and the Inquisition (Church) PLAYERS file into
either the church ground or public square (usually sacred Church own
properties, too, if not in de jure than in de facto) in simultaneous
giddiness and trepidation.
It's relatively predictable, in so far as the possible and even likely
outcomes go: either the convicts REPENT and RECANT their evil ways,
practices, and thoughts (and get a sentence from possible house arrest
to burning).... OR....it's merely a PUBLIC stunt, since the wood
around the burning stake is already gather, and the crowds merely are
called to WITNESS the burning rituals, AFTER some ass-wipping
gibberish soap boax, bible thumping screaming by some idiot who says
he is the Lord Creator's spokesman...
(Please, note that once you're accused by the Church/Inquistion, or
some powerful religious leader, you ARE convicted; there's no such
thing as "innocent until proven guilty," a phrase that doesn't come
into jurisprudence until the 1900s in most Western societies; and is
still foreign in virtually all 2nd and 3rd world societies.)
Both the great astronomers Copernicus and Galileo COULD HAVE BEEN,
would have been BURNT had they not recanted their heretical writings
and teaching and scientific observations ----- ALL WHICH said the Sun
was the CENTER "of the universe" and the Earth MERELY went around it,
an idea that was not merely incorrect but HERETICAL and punishable by
DEATH by burning.
Giordano Bruno was not only less well known and well respected,
compared to either Corpernicus or Galileo, but Bruno ALSO DID NOT
recant his crime, which was MERELY preaching Copernicus and Galileo's
astronomical theories that the Earth goes around the Sun, not the
other way around like the Church and God said.... that the Sun was
only one of the many suns in the heavens, and out sun was/is not any
more special in the larger scheme of things in the universe than the
other suns, some of which may be bigger while others smaller than
ours, etc.
Totally reasonable, farsighted, scientifically coherent observations
of very complex universal things.
Unfortunately, such thoughts didn't/don't correspond to the Church's
CORRECT thinking, which it said it got DIRECTLY FROM some IMAGINARY
creator....
Bruno, as you know, was burnt at the stake, in a public square in
Rome. ("Secular authorities" did NOT exist back then, so don't
believe the nonsense he was turned over to the secular authorities
after the Church found him guilty and unrepentent.)
Anyway, reading about and watching clips of Chinese, Lao, North
Korean, and Vietnamese communist faithfuls filing ORDERLY into their
"great hall of the People" is like reading about and watching the
CHURCH deal with dissenters in the 500 AD through the 1600's, in the
West.
You either do as the CORRECT LEADERSHIP says, or you keep VERY QUIET;
or you hit the highway in anyway you can, as fast as you can, as
cleverly disguised as you can... or you WILL BE DEALT WITH
"appropriately." And we know what "appropriate" dealings under
autocratic, communist, and theocratic regimes mean.
Oh, the competition between, say, the Democrats and Republicans (Obama
and McCain) of the good ole US of A was also little more than a
carefully staged choregraphical activity, too.... But at least there
are the POTENTIAL upsets... and even before the fiasco came down to
Obama and McCain, no one really could have predicted a young Black Man
2 years into his first Senate term would have beaten out half a dozen
very well known White Men and a former First Lady and current-then 2nd
term Senator from New York....
And, so, the choreography, stunts, and propaganda in the WEST are LESS
predictable.
In theocratic, communist, and autocratic regimes, the choreography,
stunts, and propaganda activities are planned down to HOW and WHEN
applauses are allowed! Everyone that matters sits nicely in their
assigned seats, in the cavernous hall of "the People" and the head
preachers, in front or on stages read a whole bunch of ritualistic
nonsense about imaginary things, ideas, accomplishments, fairness,
anti-corruption, law and order, peace and harmony, correct thoughts
and actions, etc., etc. and then the expected and PRE-APPROVED
"candidates" (all of them except one or two who might have said
something incorrect) emerged as "winners" and everyone laugh, smiles,
applaud, pat each other in the back, file their way out and either go
dancing, lunching, or home.
It is very nice, safe, orderly, predictable and very very peaceful and
orderly planned and carried out! "Everyone is happy, and a lot gets
done..." the party-sanctioned papers and TV shows report.
The Romans who went to the public square to witness Giordano Bruno's
burning, too, returned to their church, work place, home.... all
agreeing that THAT'S not how you do things: to rebel against God and
the Chruch, and to preach and to write on or about PROHIBITED subjects
and ideas...
But good, God loving (Communist loving) folks/citizens.... who are
obedient, nice, smart, gentle, able and willing to follow good and
CORRECT teachings and laws.... they have nothing to worry about....
Law and order, peace and stability and prospersity, and the CORRECT
LEADERSHIP prevail, again!

Samphong,
Chap. 1, Article 2 of LPDR regime’s constitution states:
“The state of the Lao People's Democratic Republic is a People's
Democratic State. All powers are of the people, by the people and for
the interests of the multi-ethnic people of all strata in society with
the workers, farmers and intellectuals as key components.”
If the above article is true as written, which by the way supersedes
Article 3 as you noted, then all powers rest with and govern by the
people of Laos. Meaning that if the intellectuals were able to form
the Lao People's Revolutionary Party the same rights must also be
given to the workers and farmers under this article.
Thus, Article 2 says Laos is a representative government. If the
younger generation feels they are not being represented by the
individuals listed above they have the legal right to form a new
political party for the under represented or the workers and
farmers...

Here's her CV, Her Lao.

Her Lao,
Are there any independent candidates admitted to the 7th election of
news members of the Lao National Assembly?
MS32
samphong
what is posted on the Lao National Assembly's own website:
"Many of the candidates, about 20 percent, have a background in the
Lao Front for National Construction (whom Dr. Pao and Dr. Yang Dao
received the medals from) and other mass organizations, with other
candidates having served in legislature organizations, economic
bodies, the Lao People's Revolutionary Party, the social and culture
sector and security forces."
Further, it stated, "Only four candidates are from state-owned
enterprises and another five candidates are from private enterprises."
Even if there were "independent" candidates, the key word that you
have used and the Lao PDR will make 100% sure it get used
is...."ADMITTED" to the 7th Congress of the Lao PDR. When you are
"admitted" or "accepted" as a candidate by the Lao PDR government, by
that very definition, you have lost ALL sense of independence as a
truly independent candidate! So, the answer is, there is no such thing
as an independent candidate, not in the way we in the US understand
that political term.
The Lao PDR Constitution forbids any second or third political
parties! Unless there was a change that we didn't know about? Right
now, Chapter 1, Article 3 is still the law of the land in Laos!
Now, Moua Sao, what is your opinion of Pany and of the 14 other Hmong
Lao PDR candidates for the National Assembly?

> Again now, let's see here...the Hmong Lao PDR candidates:
++++++++++++++++
To be honest, I didn't know most of those guys and gals WERE
Hmong ......
.....NOT that if I did know they're Hmong would have, could have
changed *reality.* For, as you described it: "our own token 14
Hmong who are ALSO SHUFFLING DECK CHAIRS ON THE TITANIC!"
If a *ship* was sinking, would it really matter whether you're Lao or
Hmong on *it*?
On the other hand, since all is required of a person --- under the
"correct leadership," the Lao People Democratic Republica --- is just
a hand "up" or a "Yes" or "Okay" or "Yes, what you said is the
ABSOLUTE TRUTH, in carrying forth the CORRECT LEADERSHIP's glorious
vision" .... I guess it's a pretty quick and EFFICIENT thing.....
giving everyone enough time to run back to stacking or shuffling their
chairs, from one side of the sinkin' "ship" to another....
Compare/contrast such EFFICIENT Lao PDR election styles with our
wasteful, protracted, bitter, and confusing elections and voting
activities here in America... where Republicans have to resort to
using State Troopers or federal Marshals .... to chase down and round
up spineless Democratic state senators, judges, and other state and
federal employees... across different state lines!
Anyway, again, remember that Hmong are simple, with simple names of 3
to 6 letters.... like Her Lao, Pa Yang, Pao Thao, Tu Lee, Der Xiong,
Pang Cha, Lee Vang, etc.
Even here in the West, those who fancy White/European names, it'd
still be: ---- "George Herbert Walker Lao" or "Abraham Yang" or
"Gertrude Thao" or "Lady Gaga Xiong" or "Sarah Palin Yang" or
"Michelle Bachmann Vue," etc.....
The folks you listed have names, like Pathanivongxa
TchapaoMouaTulyPhomgmavongxa.
Personally I don't think such are Hmong names at all! Only Sri
Lankans, Lao, and Thais have 25 to 60-lettered names like that. But
as a simple Hmong man, with a short, 6 lettered typical Hmong name, I
can't know if those long, 45 lettered names were/are Hmong or not.
Perhaps after we, former traitors left, those NEW Hmong with real'
long names just surfaced or popped out of thin air? But, then, I
always digress......
samphong
In true Her Lao style!
One of only reasons I know these so-called "candidates" (should really
be called "deck chair shufflers") are really Hmong is that the Lao PDR
decreed them as such...like this:
"1. Mrs Pany Yathortou, President of the NA, Hmong" or
"7. Dr Vinyan Jeryaxayjou, Deputy Director of Provincial Public Health
Department, Hmong"
Her Lao, I'm sure has clear lines to the extended family of the LOR
Commie clan in the Lao PDR, you better start getting used to how they
spell your family name back home. Wait a second, you're not Hmong,
you're Lao! :)
Her Lao
+++++++++++++++
Actually, these nice, educated, and wise folks within the LPDR do
have a point: that their method is VALID.... from a small, localized
"this-is-how-we-do-things-here" sort of perspective.
If your set-up is that the Lao PDR is the ONLY allowed political party
and it is the CORRECT LEADERSHIP ---- protected by the very LAW OF THE
LAND, the constitution itself [which itself promulgated] ---- then for
all other business, beliefs, activities in the country to flow
*logically* within that small, local framework.... they must conform/
twist themselves to that SCAFFOLDING...
The majority of people are smart enough NOT to challenge a ruler, a
system, or a regime that tells them outrightly: "We are very nice,
gentle, loving and fair, but if you challenge us and our legitimacy,
we WILL take you down and do it quick..."
But, once in a long while, here and there, there are enough stupid
ones who have the patience, nerve, and/or communication means to stir
up enough masses to protest and even dismantle those good rulers and
regimes.... And the results are, of coures, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya,
etc... I think the loving and wise rulers of Iran, North Korea, China,
Laos, Vietnam, Burma, etc. rather live peacefully like they have the
past 40 to 60 years...
Revolutions are good for thinkers, writers, and historians and
sociologists... but they are horrible for the rulers and peasants
alike, for different reasons....99% of the suffering really does visit
upon just the poor folks, women, children, and elderly.... so over
time there are good enough snake oil sales people, in strong man
personalities --- in all human societies --- who rise to the ocassion,
to shape and mold the masses to accept them, since ruling with an iron
fist really DOES have its benefits: stability, predictability, and
law and order.
samphong
To digress just a bit...So, Her Lao, what's your take on Dr. Pao's
medal of honor from the Lao PDR, which he is quite proud of (from the
hundreds of photos and videos he released to showcase that
event...almost taking DKJ's job away!)
Her Lao
>
> - Show quoted text -
When did that happen? What did Dr. Pao do TO or WITH or For the Lao
PDR?
Last time Dr. Pao posted here, he was just talking about seeking a few
thousand dollars to help some fish farmers in Xieng Khuang or other
such place start a fish pond... and, yes.... Dr. Pao frequents Laos
over the years to distribute medical surpluses he accumulates in
Aussiland... but "the medal of honor"?
No wonder Dr. Pao said when he's invited to Vientiane, Yong (our
comrade he's running the Lao PDR's office --- overseeing the
development of fishing methodologies for the Lao people --- in the EU
in Geneva), refused to come over to his table, to shake Dr. Pao's
hand!
Perhaps Yong's a bit insecure, seeing how his Vientiane bosses (not
the really big or high ones but the middle echelon ones who are on the
rise) are wining and dinning Dr. Pao, a foreigner from Australia?
But, seriously... joking aside..... I'm sure whatever the honor was/
is, Dr. Pal must have deserved it.
(I hardly heard anyone receiving a major honor who doesn't deserve it,
OTHER than our Prez, Mr. Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, who is clearly a
Moslem born in Kenya and hardly deserving of the Nobel Peace prize,
even if it is a medal from an organization run by horrible, stupid
Liberals who live in countries that promote homosexuality, lesbianism,
prostitution, crime and criminality, chaos, and other anti-God beliefs
and activities...)
I think Dr. Pao is from the slightly older generation, compared to
some of us, and he's of the philosophy that you "don't throw the baby
out with the bathwater" or something like that.
Many of us, we take the recalcitrant attitude of: Well, then don't
even bath the kid at all; let him be all dirty and smelly until he
wants to bath himself!, however long it takes.... so there's no need
to even think about throwing --- accidental or purposeful --- either
or both baby and dirty water out the window, together...
samphong
Her Lao, I highly doubt Dr. Pao was thinking along the line of that we
don't want to throw out the good stuff when we throw out the bad
stuff. He actually indicates that he doesn't know exactly why he was
given the award, other than assuming that it must be because of his
leadership with the Lao expat community in Oz. That's exactly NOT a
good reason to accept any such award. Look at the Communist charade
surrounding the award ceremony. Duh!

I don't know how much thinking you have to have, to function with, to
work with, and to accommodate the Lao PDR, other than say, "You guys
are wonderful, yes!"
I clicked on a few videos but I didn't see someone named Dr. Pao
speaking; most of the videos, in fact, were filled with that elderly,
slow speaking man.... but what caught my attention more than his
slowly pronounced and COULD IT BE CALLED mostly older, INFORMAL Lao
way of speaking, that's he's doing?, the eerrrrr, derrrrr, and other
long drawn-out sounds, accentuations, inflections.... they sound
awefully non-crisp, direct, and up to date....... what caught my
attention more were the SYMBOLS behind him, the Lao PDR and the former
Soviet flag....
These guys really yearn for those 1917 to 1991, Soviet Era, don't
they? LOL
I mean, I know the hammer and sickle are tools the Lao PDR depends on
more than, say, oh, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, iPad, etc..... but you
have to admit, these guys not only SOUND old, elderly, slow, and
backward... they WANT to stay in a time capsule.... or stay in it for
as long as they can.
But, again, as far as the ceremony goes.... in terms of passing out
framed certificates and a shiny metalic object over the neck, I guess
elderly folks love such ceremonies as much as kindergarteners.... it
makes everyone in the ceremony feel good while doing such friendly,
touchy-feely activities, where NO ONE is expected to use any brains,
say anthing substantial in any minimally intelligent way.... other
than the muscles around the mouth: smile for the clicking camera!
Whether it's done here in the West (France, USA, etc.) of there, in
Laos, they are virtually identical: just meaningless rituals people
bestow upon each other, to seek favors, to enforce and re-enforce
relationships, to indirectly influence people you think worthy of
influence, etc. The givers of awards and certifications and medals AS
WELL AS the receivers of such things..... they are working in MUTUAL
reciprocity, both for the obvious and for the hidden, RESPECTIVE
agendas....
The last time I went up-stage to receive a certificate and some sash/
rope over my neck was back in high school, during the graudation
ceremony, and I was only 18 back then.... but I didn't feel any
thing.... so college and other ocassions, I simply tell people if I
should qualify for some certificates, please, simply mail them to
me... so I never quite understand these pompous public giving-taking,
back patting rituals and ceremonies...
...but, again, I am sure they make the givers and takers as well as
the audience.... all happy in some touchy-feely ways.... even if to
some of us they are total nonsensical, time-wasting, mindless,
meaningless rituals during each, inevitably, you HAVE to listen to
some idiot or other rant on and on about mostly imginary crap of all
kinds of high importance....

handing over the certificate, then pinning the medal, then shaking the
hand just right, lift your head, strike an official Lao PDR pose and,
wait, wait, wait, lookie lookie at the camera...no not that one, this
one, the official camera to, click...must have been well rehearsed in
cold sweat hours before the ceremony. Their facial expressions, which
are really not expressions at all, were funny as heck!
You got it just right, couldn't have said it any better. Good job, Her

All Hmong friends,
Many of us are concerning whether our brothers and sisters back home
have the good shares of governing Laos, our birth place. Of the 190

You are absolutely right. The exact figure on Hmong ethnic in Lao PDR
is: 6.9% of the piopulation. The ratio of candidates from Hmong
community is 9.5% and that is higher than the national ratio.

And YONG CHANTHALANGSY, the official online internet junkie and Lao

Ethnic quotas such as these numbers are completely MEANINGLESS and

Chapter 1 Article 3. "The rights of the multi-ethnic people to be the

It’s true the intellectual Highlander Lao is 9.5% if you don’t include
the workers and farmers, the very folks LPDR is currently trying to
drive them from their lands with its deforestation and land-grab
operation.
It is also true that at present the Lowland Lao constitute a larger
share of the population only if you don’t pool the minorities
together. Be that on average Lowlanders may constitute 40%, Midlanders
30%, Highlanders 20%, and other minorities (Chinese, Vietnamese,
Thais, etc) at 10% of the population. Historically, if combined
Highlander and Midlander Lao always out stripped the Lowlander of it
majority status.
As Thanousay stated above, LPDR’s worst fear was and still is to keep
the massive minorities from realizing that they need to collaborate to
be influential in the political realm. As change sweeps across Asia,
it too is time for the younger generation to lead by working together
and crossing over their ethnic differences.

That's the operations, the endeavors, and/or the beliefs of what we in
the Hmong community called DIM DAWG NTSHIJ.
Or the operation of an autocrat, a theocrat, or an authoritarian
regime that does NOT intend to develop independent (or as independent
as possible) institutions.
They operate by dishing tou crumbs (in terms of "proportional
representation") to the various tribes, sects, or groups, REGARDLESS
of the quality and/or qualification of the SELECTEEs.
It goes without sayiing, I'd rather live and die in a society where NO
body from the ethnic group I HAPPNED to have been ACCIDENTALY born
into is represented in some state or national position.... but a
society that is FAIRLY decently constructed and governed..... than
live and die in one where, as Yong here puts it, the Hmong is only
"6.9%" of the over-all population of the country and YET comprised of
"9.5%" of the SELECTED/approved "candidates" for the various offices
of the land...
The CARD Yong is carrying, in an imaginary manner only of course, is:
"Look, the Lao PDR is SO FAIR, so democratic, so egalitarian.... that
ONE ethnic group represents only about 6+ percent of the over-all
population but it represent about 10% of the various important
FUNCTIONAL provincial and federal offices!"
Yong, I am sure, knows enough England and French when he comes across
one of the favorite phrases/colloquialisms we use here in the West
when we see something stupid, untrue, idiotic, silly, mindless being
presented as meaningful, substantive, etc.
We call it: Bullshit!
Since it is a bullshit, you can ALLOW the 6.5% over-all-Hmong group to
HOLD 50%, or more, of the various state/province and federal offices
and ministries --- "elected"/selected and appointed --- and the
bullshit is still valid.
In a society where the top ruling few, the most powerful, ALL rose to
their respective height due to MEMBERSHIP in some "correct" ideology/
party organization OR another... (those modus operandi is: "this is
how we do things here; this is the CORRECT way to think in this
society") --- and NOT necessarily DUE TO THEIR INTELLECT or other
ability to synthesize or promulgate broad, coherent human thinking
that appeals to the most sound reasoning, REGARDLESS what ethnic group
or political organization they belong to ---- whether a tribe
representing only 6+ percent holds 10%, 30%, or 75% of the various
offices of the land... it is IRRELEVANT.... except in the minds of the
ignorants, willful/blissful ignorants, and/or puppet masters who like
to pull string on the puppets and say the puppets are actually quite
exciting and intelligent and able...
