Original report from Phnom Penh
30/05/2007
Prime Minister Hun Sen said Wednesday there was no truth to rumors the US had pressured the Vietnamese government to remove him as prime minister, while members of the Norodom Ranariddh Party sought to quell suspicion it was behind the hearsay.
At a ceremony in Phnom Penh, Hun Sen publicly decried rumors he was to be replaced by his deputy, Sok An, and would become president of the National Assembly.
"It is said that the East interferes, and the West puts pressure," Hun Sen said. "After that, it is said clearly that the US puts pressure on Vietnam, and Vietnam puts pressure to have Hun Sen step down. It is said that the pressure is to have deputy prime minister, that is Sok An, to be prime minister. As for me, I will be National Assembly's president."
This was untrue, Hun Sen said.
Cambodia officials said the prime minister was likely referring to rumors in local newspapers that Hun Sen was facing outside pressure to step down after an absence due to illness.
Hun Sen said Wednesday he paid a visit on King Norodom Sihamoni and the Queen "asking about their wellness," not to ask for help remaining in power, which was another rumor.
A delegation of the Norodom Ranariddh Party also paid a call on King Sihamoni, officials said, but this had nothing to do with the rumors of Hun Sen's ouster.
NRP spokesman Muth Chantha said officials met with the king to present a petition asking for a pardon for their party president, Norodom Ranariddh, following his sentencing in absentia to 18 months in prison on charges related to embezzlement.
Prince Ranariddh has filed an appeal to his case as well, Muth Chantha said.
"The main reason that Prince Ranariddh decided to file a suit to the Court of Appeals is that there is no evidence, and no witnesses in the charges," Muth Chantha said. "Furthermore, it seems that the Phnom Penh court judges and prosecutors show a biased position in the implementation of the law in the past."

When you wounds on your back, you must watch the condors.
I am surprose that he did not sue the news paper for slandering or trying to arrest the writer.
It must be true
What the f....
May be Hun Sun's cases can be reviewed by the ECCC.
1. Stole cambodian property.
2. Killed singers.
3. Grenade attack in 1997.
4. Sold land to VN.
5. Killed political opponents.
"Min Kernh Kdam Machous, Min Srok Tirk Pnek"
"Coffin not yet arrives, arrogant person still smiles of ignorance".
Hun Sen's outraged speech targeting his opponents and Cambodian people who love freedom, human rights and democracy is normal.
We can observe that whenever there are news or rumors relating his boss (Yuan or so-called Vietnam), sensitivity from absolute puppet Hun Sen will be wilderly louded in the public to fight against those news or rumors.
This is so strange for Hun Sen, eventhough a kid has brain can think that their life will be not forever lasted; they have to gain goodness and self-sacrifice whatever they can to remain their own dignity, reputation as well as human beings'.
I am really enjoying to see how our Pemier can live 90 years as well as to maintain his Premier Position until he is 90 years old as he has always been publicly declared.
With all my best to Premier!
I don't think PM has any base to
suit "Sralang Khmer" news, 3:12.
Anyone who can think for themself
can tell you that is it a joke.
However, the paper should be shut
down for causing instability in
the country and for causing the
suffering of millions of people who
waited for jobs as a result.
And Shut the fuck Ah Chkout (4:22).
Somdach Hun Sen has the duty to
clarified the truth to all Khmer
people against Ah Sam Nazi who
persistently assaulted potential
foreign bussinesses investments
with craps like that to keep
us from creating jobs for the
desperate jobless.
