Translated from Khmer by Heng Soy
On Tuesday, 7 Makara district police put on display a group of youngsters – among whom was a prince – the group is charged with illegal use of weapons (swords), and was arrested on Monday afternoon. In the group of 9 suspects on display, one of them is Prince Norodom Charachak, the son of Prince Norodom Chakrapong, NRP party vice-president. Major Yim Simony, the 7 Makara police inspector said that the police will build a case for the 9 arrested – 8 males and 1 female – and will send them to Phnom Penh municipal court for illegal use of weapons (sword), and for assembly of gang members (Bang Thom and Bang Tauch). Prince Charachak who also works as a bodyguard at the Ministry of Interior, said that he is not involved with the young hoodlums and the swords, because he does not know where they came from when they were arrested by the police while the group was sleeping in a rented home in Boeng Prolit.
So instead of handcuffing them, the police have them hold the weapons and post for photos. What if they are really bad and they start to attack the police with the weapons?
ReplyDeleteWell. The CPP are full incompetent officials.
ReplyDeleteThe prince is thugs? Wow, like all of the Norodumb.
hahahahahahahh @ 8:41am. I like that Norodumb thing. hehehehh
ReplyDeleteOnly Impartial professional police and court system can bring justice to those younsters.
ReplyDeleteWhat we need to do is to bring back
ReplyDeletethe khmer's discipline for kids.
Again, westerner's education has
failed for centuries now for Khmer
people, and so will the westener's
dicipline for khmer kids.
We got to stop destroying Cambodia!
The behavior of those youngdters reflect the attitudes and behaviors of their parents. It also reflect the quality of the EDUCATION SYSTEM and the poor leadership of Khmer leaders.
ReplyDeleteTo 10: 07am
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you.
Oh Dirty Guy not Princes any more.
You should better live as human being .....
You gain alot of benefits from poor cambodians ,, e.g your father has sold many national assets (on behalf of other cpp) collected millions USD...
why you are not educated like other normal people...
This implies your paraent may be grand parents attitude/behaviours..
Oh Guy???
True, 10:07, but in general, kids
ReplyDeletealso following their friends
on top of following their parent
behavior. I have a hard time
immagining any parent teaching
or encourage their kids to arm
themself with lethal weapons, but
I have no problem seeing them
learning it from Hollywood dvd...
Thank you, KI Team, for covering the face of those suspects as they are still presumed innocent.

I don't see any difference, Dr.
ReplyDeleteLao. Why are you so panicking?
If they are innocent, their
criminal record should be clear,
and I am sure the media will
covered their innocent finding
as well.

Mr.1:58PM,
ReplyDeleteYou don't see any difference, and many don't either. But I do and many do too. In some countries,including Hong Kong, where the presumption of innocence is part of their culture, the police put hoods on suspects'heads after their arrest whenever these suspects appear in public.
I remember our Cambodian police covered the head of Born Samnang and Sok Sam Oeun (alleged killers of Chea Vichea) with hoods when they presented them to the press way back at the end of January 2004, several days after their arrest.
However, in our culture, suspects are already presumed guilty after their arrest. Very often, because of such presumption, the police physically them to their confessions and judges accused them in court with threats and intimidation, forgetting that their primary task is to gather and examine all evidence and find the truth whether or not the accused have in fact committed the crime(s) as charged.
At times because of presumption of guilt suspects caught for stealing motorcycles are beaten to death. Some years back, one or two innocent persons were mistakenly caught for stealing and beaten to death. Punishing such persons for crimes they have never committed, how would you and our society feel? Nothing?
Ponder over this saying: "It is better to let ten guilty men go free than to convict one innocent man."
It would take some time for this idea of presumption of innocence and the need to cover the face of susspects to become part of our culture.
LAO Mong Hay, Hong Kong
MY DREAM" If I were DYDY, I would ask my father Chakapong other my Great Uncle RANARIDH or My TA for money to spend for University Fees and I will be educated in 1 of the Prestigeous Universities worldwide.. to gain more knowledge to serve my country, Nation..."
ReplyDeleteI would not join gangsters like that... so at least instead of saving my country/cambodia I would be able to help my ownself...........
Poor Rural Boy
at least you can read and write english and have access to the internet Poor Rural Boy!
ReplyDeleteDr. Lao, there is no difference
ReplyDeletebetween the assumption of "innocent
until proven guilty" or vice-versa,
so long the accused is allowed
a defense. And when the accuse's
defense is weak, he will be
convicted by either assumption.
Thus, you are bickering over
nothing again.
Furthermore, you don't always
appeared to exercise
the "assumption of innocent" either
everytime you attacked our
government who represent the
majority of Khmer people; so, what
are you bragging about? hehehe!!!
what the hell is wrong with those people? and that guy, he is one damned prince. if he does not know how to do anything right, he should have just stayed quietly and being useless in his mansion. anyway, i think he is obviously guilty but im sure he is not going to be convicted or anything... haha...according to 'money law'. he should seriously turnover a new leaf. man, do something respectable... charity works, relief efforts... contribute to the society... even he does not care at all, at least act like he cares. DY DY, you know me.
ReplyDeleteand oh, those who knows nothing about law, shut the crap up. lao, you are right.
