Mr. Soy Sopheap (pictured), publisher of Deum Ampil newspaper and an anchorman for CTN TV, has been given a licence by the Ministry of Information to open a radio station, reports Radio Free Asia.
Mr. Soy Sopheap said that his radio, to be called Radio Deum Ampil, will serve the Cambodian nation and the Khmer people. He said: "We will be focusing on social issues and issues affecting our future. The role of our radio is to pay attention to all angles of the issues for the interests of our nation. What I think is that we must know ourselves first. When we know ourselves, we will know the values of our nation."
He added that his radio will not serve any political interests. He said: "The first Khmer newspaper was founded on 19th December, 1936. As a Khmer son and as a younger generation, I want to uphold the original aims of the birth of that newspaper. What I want to say is that we will not accept financial supports from foreigners or any political parties. These money (to fund the radio) come from our savings."
Mr. Son Chhay, MP from the opposition Sam Rainsy Party (SRP), said that the government has not been fair in giving licences to people to operate radio stations. He said the SRP had previously applied for a licence to operate a radio station but was rejected. Later, a member of the party applied for a licence to open a private radio station but was rejected on the grounds that there is no more frequency available.
Mr. Son Chhay added that it is unfair that the Ministry of Information approved a radio licence for a known supporter of the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) when it rejected the same application from an opposition party. He said: "What is more important than this is that the Ministry (of Information) did not respect its previous words that there is no frequency available. But this time it provided someone with a licence, so it means that the ministry has lied and this will no doubt damage the reputation of the Ministry."
Mr. Son Chhay said that the Cambodian government is a government for all Khmer people, therefore it should approve a radio licence to all Khmers equally, but to just give licences to supporters of the ruling CPP only is very biased indeed.
When contacted on telephone by Radio Free Asia, Minister of Information Khieu Kanharith refused to make any comments by saying only that he is busy.

I can only hope that, among the newspapers and radios, Soy Sopheap coul be a more open mind. Please don't prejudge and let him prouve more on his non-allignment promise. I want to see if he can broadcast the correct news relating to Khmer Krom in Vietnam, in Cambodia, in Kampuchea Krom and in other countries around the world.
Mr. Sopheap! For " news is new" please be fair to Khmer.
He is BS all the time. This guy is not independent and always takes side with Ah Kbort Chheat, Hun xen. I don't believe he won't take side and stays neutral. I heard he discussed the issue of Hanoi border with Khmer. He said "Hanoi can take Khmer land at any time". Ah Kwak, CPP, government is the puppet of Hanoi and never be changed. We need to get rid of this idiot before his supporters including Ah Soy Sauce ruins Khmer.
Suy Sopheap is PPu' father,so don't trust him.
Mr. Sam Raingsry, as private person, is able to apply for a Radio Station, but not under the name of a party.
oh god it is not fair
fock Khiev Kanharid
This unfair practice must stop. All khmer people have equal rights to doing business in cambodia.
What is an unfair practicing laws in Cambodia .What is a shameful dictator leading Cambodia.WARNING.
I AM CAMBODIAN ,BUT I BEG ALL FOREIGNERS DO NOT SPEND ANY MONEY IN CAMBODIA ,YOUR LIVE ARE NOT SAFE IS YOU WANT TO VISIT CAMBODIA.
Ah Sopheap is an idiot. He is kissing Hun Sen ash for living.
No Frequency?.... Have anyone studied radio technology? From what I know just FM alone has frequency from 80 to 120MHz. Each station can start from 80.0, 80.1, 80.2, 80.3.....up to 120.9 .
Now just look at 80MHz's range alone, it has 10 different frequencies: 80.0, 80.1, 80.2, 80.3, 80.4, 80.5, 80.6, 80.7, 80.8, and 80.9 .
Tell me Ah Chuy Mray Khieu Kanharith, how many radio stations do you have in Cambodia? Less than 20, rights? Even some frequencies already blocked by Thai, Lao and Vietname (only the areas close to the border) you still have hundred of them, Ah Chuy Mray.
Fuck you Ah Khieu Kanharith.
Ah Blue Kanharith is only busy Chhoying Hanoi girls in Hanoi and Ho Chi minh prostitutes in Ho Chi minh. He doesn't have time for talking.
i wanna hear ALL YOU GUYS say AH to hunsens face in real life
This is Hun Sen's democracy theory.
1. All mass media is totally controlled by government.
2. Any one dare criticize or express opinion will be sued in the court of Sok An in defamation as criminal verdict such as Moeun Son, Mu Sochua, Kong Som Onn, Ho Vann, and Hang Chakra etc. This defamatory lawsuits against the critics is intentionally silencing the Cambodian people from freedom of expression.
3. Corruption is rampantly entire the country...sii touch doy touch sii thom doy thom
4. Om Yintieng, Kieve Kannarith and Sok Ann are the main spearhead of making trouble and weakening Cambodian government structure.

Ah Blue Kanharith had cheated his wife and busy with young yuon prostitutes, his wife sales lot of lands that ah blue kanharith stolen or forced from poor people and also buy lands from the poors and give them fake us dollars. few of the poor victims burn the candles and joss sticks to curse him and his family with all kind of words... such as ah preah thorney sraub, ah runteas banh, ah kaun mi choy mray, ah chor phlone khmer neak krey kro, ah chheam chhleung... just like that.
SRP has try to ask license to run radio as private but either politics or private has been denied by Khiev Kagnarith 's Ministry of information . I just wonder is every minister in PP not a shame of theirself 's word ? They are a great excellency in position but to me they are just a idiot and not even worth than a kid that always keep their 's word
Please wash your hands and sleep well international donors and community. Shameful!!!!!!!!!!!!
We all know that Kanharith's refusal to give license to Sam Rainsy to open a radio station because he said there is no more frequency is just an excuse. The CPP don't want the opposition to have their own radio or tv stations because they will expose govt.'s corruptions and human right abuses. This is the way dictators and communists run the country- silence their critics in every means they can.
cpp has no right whatsoever to give or not to give license to radio station owner.
Dear 5:39AM
You said "Ah Blue Kanharith had cheated his wife and busy with young yuon prostitutes, his wife sales lot of lands that ah blue kanharith stolen or forced from poor people and also buy lands from the poors and give them fake us dollars." Is it true that Ah Blue Kanharith's wife purchased or stolen
land from the poors and paid them with fake (counterfeit) US dollars? If so, you should report this to the US Embassy in PP immediately. Using counterfeit money is a serious crime. The US government can investigate
Kanharith's wife if there is proof that she paid people with counterfeit money.
A khmer from US
Ah promeuk khourb Khiey Kanharith is HUn SEn's dick sucker.
Ah Kh'dor Khieu Kanharith, ah Promeuk khourb, ah runteas banh min dearl rean pi Frequecies radio ei vea te, Loeung tong Bon doy BEAM LOEUNG Yuon noeung Loeung ah Hun Sen, ah Mafia prime minister Viet puppet.
I do not like Ah Sa'oy sopheapbartpsa at all. I watch this jerk on DailyMotion talking about the Preah Vihear situation. The jerk talked as if he is the leader of a nation or something. He even said that the Thai could never use their weapons on the temple of Preah Vihear. He even guaranteed his words as well. Well guess what soon after the Thais fired some shots at the Khmer Temple of Preah Vihear and caused some damages already. In the same program, I also see him going to the border area. This dude is so short and he asked a translator to translate his request of the tall Thai commander. Lol. He is a little dog asking a giant. He couldn't even speak English. Lol. Anyway, the reason I don't like this jerk is because he chose to be divisive and hard on the Sam Rainsy Party members. What a a-hole jerk.
hun sen's government won't let SRP open its own radio station because they are affraid of SRP telling the world about hun sen's dirty mind and his corrupted government officials
Congratulations on your new adventure!
Keep up the good work! And thanks for all your dedication and hard work for the betterment and improvement of the Cambodian people.
