Deum Ampil Media Center claims that it is independent and neutral (sic!)

Click on the statements in Khmer to zoom in

Friday 30 October 2009
KI-Media "puzzled" observation

In a letter published by Deum Ampil news (DAP) on Friday 30 October, detailing threats received by Soy Sopheap, this news agency claimed:
“Deum Ampil Media center is an independent and neutral institution that serves the interest of the society and the nation in general without political and religious discrimination whatsoever.”
In its 30 October 2009 edition, The Cambodia Daily reported that Ros Sokhet, a freelance journalist, was arrested for questioning by the Ministry of Interior police on Wednesday, following Soy Sopheap’s complaint about anonymous text message threats sent to him. The Cambodia Daily also reported that Soy Sopheap “is well known for his close relationship with the government”.

Furthermore, the Phnom Penh Municipal Court – a court known to be easily swayed by government leaders – put Ros Sokhet on immediate trial on Thursday, just one day after Ros Sokhet’s arrest. The trial had to be adjourned as the accused did not have a lawyer to defend him.

On Friday, DAP also published a communiqué issued by the Club of Cambodian Journalists (CCJ) led by Pen Samithy, the editor of the pro-CPP Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper, regarding the arrest of Ros Sokhet. It is interesting to read the following statements in the CCJ communiqué:
“The Club of Cambodian Journalists will follow up with attention [Ros Sokhet’s case] as an neutral institution that serves the common interest of journalists.

The Club of Cambodian Journalists is an independent organization with the mission of serving the interest and defending journalists, as well as raising press freedom and strengthening the journalism profession in Cambodia”
We couldn't help but noticing the coincidence in some of the wordings used in the two statements above. While it is impossible to tell who, between DAP and the CCJ, issued their statement first, it appears to us that the CCJ statement sounds quite reasonable, and if, by chance, the CCJ statement was issued first, it looks like somebody at DAP news tried more or less parroting the CCJ statement, but with a lesser degree of flair and tact. On the other hand, if DAP issued its statement first, it looks like its claim of "independence and neutrality" was shattered by The Cambodia Daily's observation.

Ah Pheap is a real Ass Kisser. Acting likes he is a people representative. Too ashame for you choose your life by living this way, there are many ways you can choose not to kiss some one ass to make a living. Hun Sen had too many ass kissers already and you don't needs to show off your cheap attitude.

He not look like news side, He really look like boss of CPP ,He act like boss of Hun Sen?,His job Look like bigger than his boss,Hun Sen.We think Hun Sen is number two,Soy Sopheap is number one now in Cambodia?
Maybe Soy Sopheap is a member of the Vietnamese Communist Party from Hanoi?
For New Phally his web is www.DAP-news.com
We are not Hun Sen Kisser,and we are not SRP Kisser either!and not Kem Sokha Kisser too!
we think all are Vietcongs because since 1993 nothing change,the same name,Hun sen, Sam Raisy,Kem Sokha since 1993,now 2009-2010-2012-2013
the same name Kem Sokha,Raisy and Hun sen! that it?
But a little bit,Before Khmer saw the real Vietnamese and real French,but now see CPP(Vietname)?and Sam Raisy(Frech)?.And
Kem Sokha Czechoslovakia Father of democracy? Kem Sokha was a corruption problem case in court?

It is very typical that a liar has to declare that he is not a liar to conceal their deceptive action.

We all know that Mr. Soy Sopheap is a Hun Sen's mouthpiece. He pretends to be anything including negotiator, journalist, people representative, and very professional journalist. His comments in CTN last hours and hours full of gabages just like the old Kherm Rouge cards conducted daily meeting.He considers and proud himself to be a famous journalist.

It is a laughable declaration.

8:35 AM,
You remind me the history of Viets who kissed French's ass and gave the French a soft massage and Blow Jobs day and night. You know what the Viets got? They were awarded a high position as the administrator to administrate Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam for their boss French.
The big mouth and arrogance like you end up loser as always.
If Khmers knew the tricks how to kiss French's ass back then Khmers would control their own destinies, and Viets propbably left Cambodia for real like Siems.

to do business in Cambodia, you need to support the leaders in any way possible. I think all Khmer leaders would do the same and so do the business people
