Power abuse in Cambodia: Like prime minister, like general

Justice-à-la-Hun-Sen: The gun-toting bodyguard of the 2-star general is seen threatening the truck driver and demanding that the truck company pay for the damage to the general's Land Cruiser which rear-ended the truck.

General’s Land Cruiser read ended a truck and the general’s bodyguard pulled out his gun to threaten the other vehicle

Tuesday, April 28, 2009
DAP News

Phnom Penh – A traffic accident took place along National Road 1, near Preah Monivong bridge when a Land Cruiser SUV belonging to a 2-star general rear-ended a Hyundai truck [in fact it was a Daihatsu truck] belonging to the Vattanak Co. Following the incident, the general’s side pulled out a gun to threaten the truck and demanded it to pay for the damage [KI-Media analogy note: In the case between Mrs. Mu Sochua and Hun Sen, Hun Sen insulted her and now he is suing her as well]. The incident took place at about noon time on 27 April 2009.

Witnesses said that they saw the general’s green Land Cruiser SUV driving out a street near the Chhbar Ampov 1 theater and turning into National Road 1. Witnesses also said that the general’s was wearing a name tag saying: Sam Dy. The SUV was moving toward the Monivong bridge in the direction of Phnom Penh. At the location of the accident, there was a Hyundai truck traveling from Kien Svay to Phnom Penh also. Witnesses saw the SUV swerving and rear ended the Hyundai truck on the right hand side. The accident damaged the Land Cruiser turning light and it was also dented on the front.

Witnesses added that after the SUV hit the truck, the truck driver did not stop to look at the damage because he believed that the Land Cruiser was at fault and he did not sustain too much damage, therefore, he thought he was freed to continue on his trip and he moved along on the Monivong bridge. At that time, the general’s bodyguard who was riding a motorcycle behind the Land Cruiser followed the truck and the bodyguard pulled his handgun and pointed it at the truck driver along Preah Sisovath Boulevard. It was not until the truck reached the level of Street 466 that it stopped. Then, the general’s bodyguard pulled his gun and pointed at the truck driver, wildly threatening the truck driver (see photo above).

When he got off the truck, the truck driver said that he did not understand because the general’s car hit him, and then the general’s bodyguard used his gun to threaten him on top of that.

However, the general’s bodyguard said that the problem was not the accident, but the fact that the truck driver fled the scene made him very angry. At the end, the Vattanak Co. which owned the truck decided to pay the cost to fix the general’s SUV, because the company believes that it is merely a small fry and it cannot afford to get into a loggerhead with a powerful general.

For those who saw the accident, they said that it is unreasonable for the side of the 2-star general to threaten the Vattanak Co. and forcing it to pay the damage when in fact the general’s SUV was the one that rear-ended the truck. So this is the situation in Cambodia nowadays: the rightful person becomes the victim because he wants to live in safety in the future.

Isn't this the kind of injustice that made the Khmer Rouge people into the devils against their own race?

I guess a lot of Cambodians have not learnt anything much from the tragedy of the Khmer Rouge regime.

All of sudden Ah Khmer overseas profusely and frivolously have acquired their word of choice "swine" -- perhaps -- to show that they're intelligent. In fact, we have learned that all of you (Ah Khmer overseas) are contemptible as Ah Khmer Yuon. Of course, we preferred to use our word of choice as "contemptible," not "swine."

Having seen and heard this event, why people still vote 90 seats for the CPP. So people should get from whatever they have done during the election. In Cambodia, justice is in the sky.

If you are going to pull a gun out in public, at least have a Glock or a Beretta, not a shitty communist era revolver..

Must be a fairly poor General. Can't afford his guards better guns.

Khmer Sayings:

"The old would rather die; The evil person would rather fight; the kid would rather cry".

{Chas Ang Slab; Pearl Ang Kab; Khmeng Ang Yum}

Poor Cambodians, You undergo hardship. you are struggling to survive in a situation where there are eternal Prime Minister, numerous Generals, and powerful tycoons.

I still miss some parts of Khmer Rouge When a classless society was one of the ideology.

In society of social class division, one can expect a revolution than an evolution.

The rule of law is only the low-class people's dream for generations for equality.

To all non-primary schooling PhD - Brief Education system
Kindergarten: early child school-pre- sh
Primary School: from class 12 to class 7 (before 1975)
Secondary school: from class 6 to class 0 ( Terminal) (before 1975) Class 1 (Bacc I)
Student shall pass Bacc II (Baccalaureat II) in order to join any universities/institutes/ Faculty etc...in order to join Bacc II exam , student was obliged to hold Bacc I.
After Bacc II student is eligible to join university by exam..
Bacc II is divided into Serie Math/ Science and Lettre(Literature)/Phylo.
BaccII Math is eligible to join any faculties such as engineering and other social science.
Bacc II serie Sciences only for faculty of Sciences.
After 4 years of Faculty - licence/BSc/BA etc..
From BSc to MSc.. MBA etc..hono. MBA/MSc. are eligible to Doctorate Study/PhD classes of at least 3 years with all exams passed.
Ph D/MSc thesis is considered as Scientific papers which could be used/based for any real works/research(especially doctorate thesis).
In BSc/MSc/PhD in Sciences such as technical aspect/ engineering study students must spend up to 30% study hours in laboratories and field works.

Former Soviet Union/Russia and other Eastern country System:
6 years in University - BSc + MSc
after MSc, outstanding/qualified student/graduated student with 5 points of all subjects is eligibles to join "Aperantur" by strict selection. The 3-4 years can obtain Acperantur(Not PhD as some former Soviet union Graduate consider themselves as PhD).
After Asperantur they have to work and stdy hard to make research to obtain "Doctorate", Doctorate/PhD can continue to "Dokcent" in only educational institutions and obtaining "Doctor" to later Professor.....
So if those PhD men/women/Generals/Excellency/Oknhas have some knowledge of only education system(process of study), they will be afraid of getting it(PhD).

Hono. PhD= only awarded to high-rank/experienced leader../statesmen who mostly obtained PhD in Sciences... and work for long time to serve the nations/world with prosperity/peace and development etc...e.g Michael Sergeivich Gorbachev of Soviet Union, the former excellent student, the leader of Eastern world who could make the world to non-communist (Obtained PhD in Agro-Econoomics in 1950s from Moscow State University ( Most Prestigious University in Soviet Union and all then Eastern world)..obtain Hon. Doctorate in early 1990s only...


Finally, we conclude that in Cambodia now Excellency PhD mean Excellent Bandit; General with PhD means GENERAL BANDIT.

Hey Boys,

Stop attacking one another in such a derogatory manner. Be Cultured in exchanging your views, or in expressing your views.

That is what the real Khmers do.

Do not pretend to represent any group.

Jungle law in Ah Kwak Hun Sen country. I hate all of CPP members and their families and I don't care they're Khmers. Because real Khmers won't work for CPP, only the idiot Khmers work for Ah Kwak including Oversea staffs.

Too many stars in Cambodia; Ah Hun Sen doesn't need to build hydro electric power plant. He already has many bright stars called Shit General and even don't know how to point the gun straight.

i told you so, it's all in society, not just anyone person in particular. it probably has a history like this going back to the dark age era of cambodia. only new thinking such as reforms, education, learning from others in the world, etc, will cambodia improve eventual. yes, it's all in the family like they say. like sort of like having a bad habit, and it is hard to get rid of overnight, you know. only a paradigm shift will improve things for the better in cambodia. everyone can help to make a difference in cambodia, i mean everybody e.g. foreigners, the highly educated, etc... cambodia needs everyone's help to make it better for all. god bless cambodia.

well, seem to me that we all care to voices opinion on the issue of how we should react to individual who love to divide oversea community especially long beach Khmer community that we consider the largest Cambodian people living beside Phnom Penh and Battembang, from Mr. New Phally who is the head of CPP in long Beach that most of the time report all activist and movement of Khmer Nationalist to his boss in Phnom Penh, Some Cambodian town and Cam-CC member who pretend to love Khmer by working to promoted Parade and New Year event"Some not all" and went to Phnom Penh asking for positions within CPP Line of power and invited high Ranking official to used their blood money to promote and to buy anyone who speak up again their interest, why? Long Beach has no Khmer TV channel for Khmer people to watch, when Kith Meng who own CTN, bought out all the TV station that own by Khmer Nationalist in Long Beach, and not even one Khmer TV that can televised the true story to watch, they make you watch all the channel from oversea specially the tilted CTN,

Remember Lao and Mong in America has more than 5 TV station, televised 24 hour for their people to watch, why?we allow one white guy's a member of CPP and love CPP to death and he hate the opposition party and dare to attack every which way he can, he's own the U CC building the Center of Khmer spot light, who pretend to love Khmer than Khmer, to post and hank unnecessary kind of picture over thousand of them, consist of most now Khmer Leaders, especially CPP leaders, Mix with Lon Nol etc..,
Remember, when one guy who posed Ho Chi Minh picture in video store at little Saigon Santa Ana, the south Vietnamese people right away, up and protest again it. Shall we searching for the true?, or continue to plays a waiting game.
