Translated from Khmer by Khmerization

National Police Commissioner, Gen. Hok Lundy, (pictured) has died in a helicopter crash on the night of the 9th of November, 2008 at the age of 51.

Gen. Hok Lundy was married to Mrs. Men Pheakdei and he has 5 children, among them there are 3 sons and 2 daughters.

According to the dictionary of the history of Cambodia, written by Mr. Justin Corfield and Mrs. Laura Summers and according to the broadcast of state-owned TVK, Gen. Hok Lundy was born in the Year of the Pig, on the 3rd of February, 1957 in the provincial town of Svay Rieng. He is of Vietnamese descent, born into a family with a military tradition. His father’s name is Hok Nam and his mother’s name is Mom Aun.

Gen. Hok Lundy has 3 siblings and he is the second child. During the Khmer Rouge regime, Gen. Hok Lundy lived in Ta Pov village, Bavet commune, Chantrea district in Svay Rieng province. On the 7th of July, 1977, Gen. Hok Lundy fled to Vietnam and on the 2nd of March, 1978, he joined a Spy Unit of the Army of the United National Salvation Front of Kampuchea. After the 7th of January, 1979, after when the Vietnamese army had toppled the Khmer Rouge regime, Gen. Hok Lundy has received numerous promotions, one after another.

Hok Lundy was appointed as the executive president of the party for Svay Rieng province and became the president of the People’s Revolutionary Committee of Svay Rieng in 1987. In 1990, Hok Lundy was appointed deputy secretary of the party and became the president of the People’s Committee for Phnom Penh City.

In January 1994, Hok Lundy was appointed Governor of Svay Rieng province and in September, 1994 he was appointed National Police Commissioner which he had served until his death.

In January, 1997, Hok Lundy was selected by the Extraordinary Plenum of the Cambodian People’s Party to become the member of the Party Central Committee and he has become a full member of the Central Committee of the Cambodian People’s Party in 2001.

In 2006, the United States has refused Gen. Hok Lundy’s a visa to attend a conference in America due to allegations that he has been linked to human trafficking activities. But in the same year, Gen. Hok Lundy was awarded a medal by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for his efforts in the fight against terrorism. In 2007, Gen. Hok Lundy was issued with a visa to attend an anti-terrorism conference in Washington DC. Gen. Hok Lundy served as National Police Commissioner for the duration of 14 years and he is the 20th high-ranking official in the Cambodian People’s Party and he has a very close tie with Prime Minister Hun Sen.

In 2002, Hok Lundy’s daughter, Miss Hok Chindavy, was married to Prime Minister Hun Sen’s son, Mr. Hun Manet, which has further strengthened the alliance between Gen. Hok Lundy and Prime Minister.

In relation to the allegations that Gen. Hok Lundy has Vietnamese lineage, a member of the Cambodian People’s Party Central Committee, Mr. Cheam Yeap, said that Gen. Hok Lundy is not a full-blooded Vietnamese. He added that the allegations have been levelled against him because Gen. Hok Lundy was born on the border with Vietnam and because he can speak Vietnamese as well. He added that Gen. Hok Lundy used to study at Suriyowong College in Svay Rieng province.

Mr. Cheam Yeap said: “His Excellency Hok Lundy is not a full-blooded Vietnamese. I did not know his full biography because he was born in Svay Rieng and I was born in Prey Veng. Because Gen. Hok Lundy was born and lived in Bavet near the border since he was young, so it is easy for someone to accuse him of being a Vietnamese in everything. But in actual fact, we’ve seen that he attended Suriyowong College in Svay Rieng and because he had lived in Bavet, he can speak Vietnamese and can also write Vietnamese as Bavet is located right on the border with Vietnam, so even the Vietnamese who live there can speak Khmer as well.”

Mr. Cheam Yeap regrets the death of Gen. Hok Lundy and said that Gen. Hok Lundy has left many achievements for the nation, including providing security, keep order and providing stability for the Cambodian society.

Mr. Cheam Yeap said: “He has left a lot of achievements. One has to achieve something before they can be promoted. His leadership in the police force, in term of providing security and social order throughout the country, has been excellent and admirable. At the same time, he has established excellent relations with foreign and international police force who acted as a good model for our national police force in order for the next generations to continue his good work.”

However, the British newspaper, the Guardian, has written that, during the street fighting in the power struggle between the Cambodian people’s Party and the Funcinpec Party in 1997, Gen. Hok Lundy had played a very important role in the extra-judicial killings of Funcinpec’s officials, including the detention of Mr. Ho Sok in the Ministry of Interior’s building and he was later executed by the policemen stationed there.

Former Commissioner of Phnom Penh Police, Gen. Heng Pov, has revealed about the killings of many people after he had a fallout with Gen. Hok Lundy.//

yes these monster cpp members lies too much.

Real good people speaks generously in public with good deed and actions.

The cpp, bose about who they can destroy or how much weath they have ( stolens ) . Beside, they are afraid to speak in public for they will be shameful. We never hear or see these cpp members speak of anything good or claims that they did anything good for the nation. But trying to covered up or kill anyone who spoke of them.

Whenever anyone do speak about any of them. They have to fake it, and say alot of good things. I would too, I am only human and do scared of these monsters CPP members. For they care of only themself.

I do understand that most of these high official now don't have education or good heart, but only rely on their money and power to show how good they are. But what can come out that are really good, when the foundation is ignorance and currupted money?

People who never have anything, when they have it, they like to showed off or abuses it.

I don't care if he is YOUN or 1/2 Khmer but if he didn't killed so many innocent people I would not talk shit about him. Just like all of us knew already.

KRs are most not real Khmer.
Pol Pot had Chinese blood in him.
Kheuv Samphan Chinese blood in him.
Duch, Ieng Sary, Noun Chea.

I don't care who they are but if they killed alot of people that is my enemy.

If you born in Cambodia and serving Cambodia's interest, you are Khmer's hero. But if you serving you mother country that is different.

Khmer PP,

The writers of the biography of the Cambodia police chief intentionally hide the levels of his education.

Hok Lundy can speak and write Vietnamese. I bet he can speak and write Vietnamese better than Khmer. So, is he a Khmer or Vietnamese?

Anonymous said...

Too many speculations, the best way for me is wait and see his successor whether he will be doing better job than Hok Long Dy.

It is true that Hok had exert his extra-judical authority to crack down the oppositions. But now if we look back what had happended, that was too agressive from the opposition too. I was jointing the demonstration at that time. Now those political dessidents have abandoned their potest and begging their opponents for government position or money.

It is shame that all the intelectuals had been killed and only those savages were being left out. There is no other way to implement the extra-judicial to keep the order. The law will be enforced only after the majority agree with. But sometimes, not the majority are right.

There will be many mementos dedicated to this Great Police General. This photo will appear on wrist watches, wall clocks, and decorated photo frame for hanging in government and public offices. Of course, his portrait will be placed below the King, while Hun Sen and Bun Rany portraits are placed above the King and his parents.

So, boys and girls, queue up and spend your life savings on such beloved and historic mementos of our Great Police General before they run out of stock. Kampuchea Krom Boulevard will be renamed as Akak Moha Sena Padei Phkay Phot Lek Hok Lundy Boulevard (his Phnom Penh residence is nearby, which is perfect and appropriate!). His statue will be made from Angkor Wat stone and erected to replace Daun Penh statue near Wat Phnom so that anyone, who missed the trip to pay their respect at his funeral, can go and pray for Good Luck and Happiness.

Three "Cheyo" cheers to our Great Beloved Police General!

Hok Lundy's body may be gone, but his spirit will stay to keep a close eye on Ah Savage Killer (Scam Rainxy) and his cronies (Ah Pleu-Oversea).

Last night TV program shows the achievement of Mr. HOK. He built more than 50 school buildings and somemore and more for Svay Rieng. Can anyone tell me, how come he has so much money but not gov't project who is the one should have such budget to build schools...

Anonymous said...

2:31pm, I can tell you. Hok Lundy got the money from drug and human trafficking, corruption, kidnapping and above all, he steal from the police budget. His salary is probably less than $2,000/month, how can he afford to build 50 schools, a million dollar Svay Rieng University and can provide $200,000/year to fund that university? It must be drug and corrupt money.
