Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) lawmakers have welcomed an offer from the US’s Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to assist in the investigation of the murder of SRP-aligned Moneaksekar Khmer newspaper reporter, Khim Sambor, and his son.
An open statement from SRP lawmakers yesterday demanded that the Cambodian government urgently accept the FBI’s offer of assistance, if the government is not connected with the crime. The statement added that accepting the FBI’s assistance to investigate the murder and find justice for the family of the victims will provide a sence of security to politicians, journalists and citizens in general.
The previous killings of politicians, journalists and artists, which have not been thoroughly investigated, make the public worry and suggest that powerful people in the current government are behind the acts, the opposition lawmakers clarified, adding that the international community and various organizations have frequently appealed to the government to take responsibility for “the cruel and cowardly” killings.
The SRP lawmakers’ statement came a day after the US Embassy’s announcement that the FBI remains ready to investigate the slaying of the reporter, if requested by the government. The US Embassy has also voiced sadness over the death of Khim Sambor and his son, saying said that such murders and violence could have a large and negative impact on the media and will make Cambodians lose confidence in participating in a safe and secure election.
Phnom Penh police chief Touch Naruth said that the police are keen to cooperate and share information associated with the murder of Khim Sambor and his son.
“Currently we are doing our best to investigate the case, gather evidence and bring the perpetrators to justice,” he said. “So I am happy to cooperate with anyone who has any information on the case. We have been trying hard. We have never left killings and robberies uninvestigated.”

No criminal of any kind have been brought to justice for khmer people of any level or any year of year past.
The only way there will be any kind of justice for cambodian,for all khmer to unite and stand up for each other against these kind of curruption. The jews does, the korean does, and many other races does. ITs time for khmer to support each other.
Well then you got to be blind not to see that Prey Sor is getting pack like sardine.
With my knees on the earth, tears dropping from my sun-like eyes and hands praying, I ignorantly and humbly beg the people who may concern to answer the follow questions:
1. Why can’t the government solve the problems of teachers consciously demanding money from students by all sorts of methods, which forces students to drop out of school? And why have quality exams been RARELY CONDUCTED? (Bribery, Students CHEATING etc)
2. Why can police traffic only punish and fine only low-class people rather than blood suckers of their own people who drive luxurious-too expensive cars on the streets? (Bribery for their police superior, ineffectiveness of law reinforcement etc)
3. Why when scandals related to briberies or crimes skeptically committed by high-ranking officers never investigated or results of interrogations never released or no one ever received state penalty for the crimes that benefit only a bunch or string of their family? (Instead THEY are promoted or just transfered to another post-so TRANSPAREN and such GOOD GOVERNANCE!BRAVO!)
4. Why corruption laws been drafted for so long and have never been passed as laws? (SORRY MR. I’M RUNNING BUSSINESS TO MAKE PROFIT NOT FOR GOVERNMENT OR BULLSHIT MY POOR PEOPLE!)
5. Why can’t the government wipe out the SO-WELL-KNOWN AND WIDESPREAD CORRUPTION OR BRIBERY FROM ITS SYSTEM?
IS IT WORKING TO SUPPORT-TO MAINTAIN THE COUNTRY SUSTAINABLE GROWTH OR JUST ITS BUNCH OR STRING OF FAMILY TO COME?
6. HAS THE GOVERNMENT EVER THOUGHT OF DEFENDING OR MAINTAINING THIS LONG-TIME-TORN APART COUNTRY TO LAST PROSPEROUSLY AFTER THEIR GENERATION? OR LEAVE A HEALTHY, WELL-DISCIPLINED AND READY-TO-COMPETE NATION AFTER THEIR REIGN?
I honestly and humbly beg you to answer not only for me but also for this POOR NATION!
GODD BLESSES CAMBODIA!
