Local news media reported that the president of the HRP party in Kandol Chrum commune, Ponhea Krek district, Kampong Cham province, was ambushed and shot 4 times by two robbers who fled with his motorcycle while he was driving his aunt back from the pagoda to their village in Kauk Rovieng. The Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper reported that the shooting took place on 27 March 2009. Sim Net, the 48-year-old victim, was ambushed by robbers while he was traveling back home in Kauk Rovieng from a function at the Tany pagoda. The commander of the military police in Ponhea Krek district said that Sim Net was the president of the HRP party in Kandol Chrum commune. A group of 2 thieves driving a Honda C125 motorcycle cornered the victim and pushed him to the sidewalk, they then pulled out a handgun and shot the victim who fell to the ground and died. The robbers then fled with the victim’s motorcycle. The police said that it is investigating into this case in order to find the identity of the two robbers. However, Kem Sokha, HRP President, told RFA that his party has not yet determined the cause of the shooting and killing of Sim Net, but he was a very active HRP party member and he was very popular in the region.

I am confusing whit the Party of HRP. We have a very well and good Khmer NGO in the Country, who protect the Khmer citizen without colors or party.
HRP >>>>>>> Human Right Party ???????????

Every time when I found any news that this site has purposely not published, I will post the web address here.
We should be better served with unbiased information from every angle, and do our home work for right and wrong.
Another political killing. The robbers could have just pushed him to the ground and taken his motorbike, but there was no point in killing him unless they either knew him personally or knew his political stance. If these criminals are caught they should be executed by the victims family members, that is the only justice.

Obviously, you don't know about robbery in Cambodia nowadays. The robbers have been fought back by the owners of the stuff they try to steal and now they would just shoot you to kill if you do anything fishy at all while they are robbing you. Maybe the victim tried to retaliate in some way and the robbers went ahead and shot him.
My sister's friend's brother was killed when his brother motorcycle was robbed. He tried to fight the robbers and the robbers shot and killed him.
Lesson here is never be a hero when you're robbed in srok khmer nowadays. The robbers are more aggressive and rather shoot you than be attacked and caught redhanded like it has been in the past.
I wish I could kill these robbers myself. If given the chance I would take away their cheap miserable lives.
