Ex-chief of Cambodian military forces to become [10th] deputy PM [-Does Hun Sen need a deputy under each of his 10 fingers?]

PHNOM PENH, March 4 (Xinhua) -- The government has appointed former commander-in-chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF) Ke Kim Yan as deputy prime minister, said English-language newspaper the Cambodia Daily on Wednesday.

"The government will send the request to the National Assembly. When the National Assembly approves it, you will know," Tea Banh, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense, told the paper.

If approved, Ke Kim Yan will become the government's 10th deputy prime minister.

The general has been without a position since being removed as RCAF chief by a Royal Decree on Jan. 22.

That's why I love Dr. Hun Sen's doctrine of peace: keep on donating Khmer's land to our brotherly neighbors - The Viet and the Thai and sell whatever we have left...

I love you, Dr. Hun. I am looking forward to meeting with you in person some day in the very near future just so I could thank you personally and also read your doctorate thesis on this doctrine of peace yours.

And please Dr. Hun, keep up with your good deeds, pretty soon you'll be a Nobel prize winner!!!

How many damn deputy prime ministers does Hun Sen need???? Why in hell does he need 10? I guess it's to compensate for having 1,000 worthless & meaningless starred generals, 5,000 useless suck-up advisors.

Congratulation to Ke Kim Yan, I am sure he'll be the best Khmer DPM ever.

May Buddha be with you at all time.

No KI! Hun Xen need 11 DPM!!!!!

When ah Sen was young he could only count with his fingurs. So one day a teacher asked ah Sen to put both hand in his pokets and than asked him " How many fingurs do you have, volture face?" It took ah Sen a while then he looked up and said " 11 teacher"

Hun Sen is buying Ke Kim Yan. This was no dirty laundry is air in public. I bet the general knows where some of the "bodies" are buried.

If PM Hun Sen bought Ke Kin Yan, that mean Ke Kim Yan must be a smart dude.

So what is your point. Is too good for Khmer people to have a smart dude serving them. Is that it?
