PHNOM PENH, July 16 (Xinhua) -- Ngor Srun, secretary of state at the Cambodian Council of Ministers and top aid for Deputy Prime Minister Sok An, was recovering well in Thailand after the acid attack Sunday in Phnom Penh, national media said Wednesday.
Although the acid hit Srun's face, his wounds were superficial and he should be able to return soon to Cambodia following medical treatment in Thailand, English-Khmer language newspaper the Cambodia Daily quoted his sister-in-law Chea Sam Ath as saying.
"I saw him Sunday before he left for Thailand. He is just a little burned and it didn't affect his eyes. He can be normal after treatment," said the elder sister of Srun's wife Chea Sam Eng, who is the second daughter to Cambodian Senate President Chea Sim.
The attack occurred in downtown Phnom Penh, as Srun ended his participation in a major general election campaign for the Cambodian People's Party (CPP) and prepared to bring his vehicle to a nearby workshop for mechanical check.
Srun was hospitalized at the Calmette Hospital around 11:00 a.m. local time Sunday and transferred to Thailand later in the afternoon.
Hospital sources said that Srun was burnt on the left side of his face, ear and chest. His wounds were cleaned, treated and bandaged in the emergency room over the course of two hours.
This has been the second high-profile crime so far during Cambodia's general election month, which started in June and will end on July 27.
Friday, veteran reporter Khim Sambo and his son were shot dead on street. Sambo used to work as part-time contributor for the Khmer Conscience News, a Cambodian-language newspaper closely affiliated with the major opposition party.

what a shame that Ngor Srun cannot find any decent hospital to cure himself in Cambodia!
Vote CPP to stop Ah Savage Infidel Scam Rainxy intimidation and killing in Cambodia.
Yes, KI Media. Then the two good eye Khmers would be ruled by one eye Cambodians. What does this say about those with two good eyes who are not supposed to be that dumb.
Kuoy Pichet
All Cambodian is Kuoy Pichet, and that's the major problem with us.
Now that he (Ngor Srun) feels better, he should returned the treatment to Ah Savage Infidel Scam Rainxy.
it's because the healthcare system in Cambodia is not reach the international standard. how many poor student can learn in Faculty of medicine? it's not because they can not afford the to pay to pass the exame..
