Opposition party and civil societies officials are happy to see that the government is taking measures to search for former police chief charged of serious human rights violations.

They say that this search should not be tied to any political gains, and that other officials tied to crimes should be brought to justice too.

Former Phnom Penh police commissioner, and Ministry of Interior under Secretary of State Heng Pov was removed from under Secretary of State, and Prime Minister Hun Sen's adviser positions by King Norodom Sihamoni on July 27, with Mr. Hun Sen's requests.

Mr. Heng Pov was charged with killing Phnom Penh court judge Sok Sethamony, and with intention to kill military police commander, Sao Sokha.

National Assembly's interior, national defense, and investigation committee chairman, from Sam Rainsy opposition party (SRP) Yim Sovan considers the search good, and that in the past Mr. Heng Pov's subordinates were involved with crimes.

Mr. Heng Pov and his family cannot be reached for comment Tuesday.

Cambodia Center for Human Rights' (CCHR) director Kem Sokha says that the search shows that the government does not tolerate those officials who commit wrongdoings, especially human rights violation. He says that his center has not begun any investigation yet, saying that we should monitor to see whether or not the action is done in general or for only those that they want to pursue.

Human rights Adhoc's director Thun Saray calls this measure a possible way to curb or reduce human rights violation committed by government officials.

Mr. Heng Pov was reported having left Cambodia for Singapore last week. At his house in Ta Khmau, Kandal province, authorities found 9 weapons and $30,000 worth of counterfeit money.

Phnom Penh police officers search another house which they suspect belongs to Mr. Heng Pov.

Phnom Penh deputy police commissioner Pol Phithey told reporters his unit finds two vehicles, and a number of documents. Police officials sources say that the search at Heng Pov's house again Tuesday finds $340,000.

National Police Commissioner Hok Lundi and Ministry of Interior spokesman Khieu Sopheak cannot be reached for comment. Interior Ministry Deputy Penal Police Chief Mak Chito declines comment saying he is busy.

Hun Sen should order his gang members to check the home of Hok Lundy, Sok An, and many others in his communist government to see what illegal items would find like Heng Pov's home

THis animal has worked for Sar Kheng to balance power with Mak Chi To who is working for Hok Lundy.
With his criminal activities. he should be jailed for life. Once he is jail, Rannarith will take his wife soon.

If you search Hok Lundi's houses, you'll find most of the foreign aid money kept there by Hun San.

If you search Hun San's houses, you'll find an underground tunnel goes straight to Vietnam.

If you search Ranarith's houses, you'll find many illegal female aliens from all over the world and a one-way ticket to France (no expiry date).

If you search Sam Rainsy's house, you'll find a returned ticket from France and many letters that he wrote thanking Hun Sen for allowing him back to Cambodia.

If you search Sihanouk's palace, you'll find many documents congratulating Po Pot for liberating Cambodia in 1975.

If you search my house, you'll find all of these leaders' faces on top of my toilet.

This is just good to be true. Why is it Hun Sen's tightening the corruption as the Election draw near? He is such a very cunning beaver, isn't he?

I still don't believe it, Unless he's put his corrupted Dogs behind bars and throw away the key. Ah Hun To, needed to be shot in public places.

Do you know/see/hear what are people reactions about the Fidel Castro? Similiarly, I wish that ah Hun Sen himself would ill-health quick and die. He is a true Satan. Die MF!
