Facebook Cambodian political opposition leader Sam Rainsy has launched a campaign to help Cambodians impoverished by government-ordered lockdowns amid rising numbers of COVID-19 infections in the country, raffling his Casio wristwatch valued at $5.00. The move by the exiled party leader has sparked calls for Prime Minister Hun Sen to sell his own watches, valued at many millions of dollars more. Sam Rainsy’s campaign will run for three weeks beginning May 16, with 10,000 tickets expected to be sold and proceedings broadcast live via Zoom. “My watch is worth $5. If you think this is a good deal, please contribute that amount,” said acting Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) president Sam Rainsy, who lives in self-imposed exile in Paris to avoid a string of convictions in Cambodian courts widely considered to be politically motivated.
