Phnom Penh - Cambodia's ruling party has set up local committees nationwide to work out the political preferences of each citizen ahead of national elections in 2013, national media reported Wednesday.
A document seen by the Cambodia Daily newspaper said people would be classified as white, gray or black, depending on their affinity to the Cambodian People's Party (CPP), with the party's strongest supporters categorized as white.
The object is to work out what motivates people who fall into the gray or black categories, then 'transform the black and gray to become white,' the document said.
It said another purpose is to prioritize help for ruling party supporters while CPP officials claimed information gathered on political affiliations would be used solely for internal purposes.
