The Cambodia Daily reported in today’s edition that a lawyer for Chea Kheng, the wife of the CPP minister of Industry, Mines and Energy Suy Sem, issued a warning saying that mentioning Chea Kheng marital relationship with Suy Sem is grounds for “criminal charge for spreading disinformation.”
The warning was issued by lawyer Phat Pouv Seang to a reporter for The Cambodia Daily. Chea Kheng is the owner of KDC International, a company involved in land dispute with villagers in Kampong Chhnang province. In fact, during the phone call warning, Phat Pouv Seang did confirm that Chea Kheng is indeed Suy Sem’s wife, but the lawyer indicated that such information cannot be published in newspaper reports about land dispute issue. The lawyer also suggested that The Cambodia Daily issues a correction to its article.
According to Naly Pilorge of the Licadho’s human rights group, KDC is involved in land disputes with 108 villagers in Ta Ches commune, Kampong Tralach district, Kampong Chhnang province. Some of the villagers have agreed to sell their lands to KDC, but others did not. Nevertheless, KDC still claims the ownership of the entire area. This situation resulted in the land dispute.
The Cambodia Daily quoted Khieu Kanharith, the CPP minister of Information, as saying: “We can sue for disinformation when we know it is not true.”
Phat Pouv Sean is also defending Ieng Thirith, the wife of Ieng Sary, the former KR minister of Foreign Affairs. We were wondering whether revealing the fact that Ieng Thirith is Ieng Sary’s wife will earn us a disinformation lawsuit also?

Stupid corrupted people still bite each other, while Thai and Viet burns khmer people alive, they should team up and help fighting for our people, our country instead of killing each other by stealing, robbing each other! what's a stupid dumbass people....
1979-1984 a lot of khmer refugees were rape and killed by Thai black soldier, our people were shot at like animals for crossing into our own lands, i wanted to say thanks to khmer rouge soldier for saving my life and 50 other people that time...

Cambodia need judges with common sense who will take up these cases and laugh it for what it is, a joke of the stupid and ignorant powerful money stealing people who think the court is naive and stupid enough to be as simple-minded and shallow as they are to go through with these nonsensical suits.
Unfortunately, Cambodia does not have the kind of judges that makes such decision.
This raises two concern:
1) Cambodian judges are incapable because their understanding of the principles of law is shallow and they also lack common sense what these laws are really meant for.
or
2) they're just cowards who eat up money and favoring judgment by bribery.
Is one worst then the other? Would you rather have an ignorant judge, or an unjust judge?
In both cases, they come up with the same conclusion: Victim must prove that the non sense lawsuits have no merit, rather then the accuser proving that the lawsuit is even worth mentioning in public because of the depth of stupidity!
What have our Khmer society been reduced to?
I hated these corrupted rich Tycoons people, they kept stealing and robbing the country, but Hun Sen is say nothing...??
A lot of illeaglly logging are high ranking govt officials...RCAF
1:15PM Ah xen cannot say anything because he is a big thief himself!
I'm tired of reading about these stupid rich, ignorance, greedy dogs. It just make me mad, hurt, frustrated when I hear and see the brutality of Khmer destroying Khmer! I will help Cambodia my own way. Apparently, money do the talking in Cambodia, so i will play that game. Get rich, buy lands, develop the land for the poor, register land for the poor, and kick rich out!
Suy Sem is a smart man, his corruption practices have been much sophisticated, It is difficult to eliminate this guy anyways.
Youn face!!
Dov Ma Do Ma Mey!!!
. . . in short, this government is the government of murderers, criminals, robbers, land grabbers; they are all leeches sucking blood of the whole nation. Such a government that is corrupted from head to toe must be abolished soon, so Khmer people in general can be free of fear.
These rich Tycoon become rich by stealing lands, illegally logging, durgs trafficking....
I can't stand this fat face pig tycoon corrupted...
