Identity of 3-star land-grabber General revealed: Chao Phirun, his loot: over 200 hectares in Kampot; Hun Sen thanks the land-grabber

RCAF general hands over land to government

A three-star general of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF) has handed over more than 200 hectares of land to the government after Prime Minister Hun Sen threatened to fire him on Monday in his so-called "war" on land grabbers, local media said on Thursday.

Chao Phirun, director general of RCAF's technical and material department, told the Cambodian Daily that he was the unidentified three-star general whom Hun Sen threatened to sack if he didn't return state land within a week.

"I already gave the land to the government (on Tuesday). Hun Sen has written to thank me," said the general, who is from Hun Sen's Cambodian People's Party (CPP).

"I am not sad. This is a contribution to help the government," he said.

He insisted that he was unaware that he was the target of Hun Sen's threat, as the 215 hectares of land in Kampot province's Chhuk district was bought by his wife in 1999 from 46 families rather than grabbed.

Government spokesman Khieu Kanharith has told reporters that Chao Phirun will not be fired as he has returned the land.

Hun Sen said on Monday that he will start a "war" to purge perverse land grabbers out of the government and CPP, who might otherwise cause social instability or even trigger off riots.

He also said that a top government official from CPP had called him to inform about his withdrawal from a land dispute in Koh Sla area in Kandal province and he still awaited a similar call from a three-star general, who was found to possess hectares of land illegally.

Land disputes have been frequent all across Cambodia in recent years, resulting in hundreds of death and injury.

General Chao Phirun is almost a hero for giving up the land he said his wife had bought fair and square.

Who is the next clown in this sick charade before the commune elections?

The CPP mafia CON poor people again. Where did Choa Phirum and his wife get too much money to buy the land if it were not Hun Sen money stole from Cambodia?
These guys are very dangerous gangsters.

Ah Sen and Chao Phirun are fooling the people again. The people heard this foolish story before, they would not and could not believe it. Phirun gave the public land that he took, but not the private land that he grabbed from the poor. How can we believe these thugs if they keep fooling the public like that? Legally speaking this bloodsucker shall go to jail for abusing his power by privatising the public land into his own, even though he returned the 200 hectars of land. Again the Cambodian court operates under the directions of Ah Khvak. As long as Ah Khvak is in power Khmer will never have justice.

Wow, High Ranking Officials take lands illegally and then gives it back and everything is ok. No one is punish. I wonder what happen if that was the opposite?...Our khmer people should demand punish to those that take lands illegally, like jail time and FAT Fines.

If Hun San is serious and want to win this war, Hun San must announce to all the land grabbers that they must return the illegal land within 7 days or else their ears/arms/legs/penises will be cut off, their eyes will be removed and their testicals will be flatten like a pizza.

Also, their official titles will be removed, their houses will be burnt down, their wives and daughters will be forced to have sex with tuk tuk drivers and they will be forced naked on the street under the hot sun for 7 days and nights. Only then will he see results because just barking alone is useless. As a dog, he must show his teeth and start biting.

I guess Hun San can set an example by doing all the above to himself first to show how serious he is now.

HUN SEN does not want his another inner circle crook to get out of the flock and yell to international community how crooked the CCP is like Heng Pov. You might know how much it cost them to get Heng Pov back. He almost lost his face once.

KHENG WAT KNONG SROK

IT IS JUST A THEATER OF HUN SEN BEFORE KHUM-SANGKAT ELECTION

IT IS JUST THE CASE OF THIEVES AGAINST THIEVES.

HUN SEN & HIS FAMILY (THIEF=CORRUPTION)+HIS HIGH-RANK SUBORDONATES(THIEVES=CORRUPTION) = CPP PARTY lead by Hun Sen (HUGE THIEVES IN CAMBODIA)

SO CPP (communist party) lead by HUN SEN = HUGE THIEVES IN CAMBOPDIA (DEFORESTATION, DRUG & HUMAN TRAFFICKINGS, LAND GRABBING, ... )

RESULTS : POVERTY, IMPUNITY BECAUSE OF THE CORRUTION GOVERNANCE OF HUN SEN
