6 bodyguards protecting Cham Prasidh, the minister of Commerce, are accused of using violence and beating up one young man until he passed out, and seriously injuring two others.
A woman from Chak Chrouk village, Samrong Krom commune, Dangkao district, Phnom Penh city, indicated on 08 October that she is accusing a group of 6 Cham Prasidh’s bodyguards of beating up her children until one of them passed out and two others were seriously injured. However, the authority did not resolve this problem for her.
Korng Sikhem, the mother of the victims, indicated that 62 families in the village witnessed the scene on the spot, and they affixed their thumbprints on a complaint sent to the police chief in Samrong Krom commune and the commune chief. However, the pair did not resolve this case for her.
Korng Sikhem said: “There were a lot of them, they were all armed, they fired shots in the air, my son collected two bullet shells. Their shots sound like thunders, my son passed out on the ground, my daughter cried, hugged her brother and yelled, then the villagers helped fetch my son. We sent [copies of the] complaint to the commune and the police station. Each one of them told me: ‘If you are an egg, don’t knock on the rock’ and that I should be scared of them because I am very poor and I am in dire need.”
On Sunday 04 October, factory workers were disputing each others near Cham Prasidh’s house which is located near Korng Sikhem’s house also. At that time, her sons and her daughter went to look at the dispute, but when they returned back home, a group of [Cham Prasidh’s] bodyguards used violence on two of her children, one is 18-year-old and the other 20-year-old. They both passed out immediately, at that time, a 30-year-old niece of Korng Sikhem went to prevent the bodyguards from beating, but they instead turned and beat her also.
Touch Phoeun, the Samrong Krom commune chief, declined to comment on this case, and he told us to question the police chief instead.
Im Kak, the Samrong Krom station police chief, declined to clarify this case also, and he replied that he is only a minor official and he does not dare talk about this case. He directed us to talk to higher level officials.
On 08 October, RFA could not reach Cham Prasidh’s bodyguards who were accused of using violence by the villagers.
The Chak Chrouk deputy-village chief, who declined to provide his name, said that, on the day of incident, he, just like the other villagers, saw Cham Prasidh’s bodyguards using violence against Korng Sikhem’s sons and niece at about 6PM on 04 October. “They (Cham Pasidh’s bodyguards) beat them, and they also fired shots. People panicked and they came out to see, it was on a Sunday and there were a lot of factory workers and a lot of people like me who came to see. The bodyguards were chasing [the victims] and they yelled: ‘Thieves, thieves!’”
Korng Sikhem said that she did not want anything, she only wants the authority to provide justice according to the law, and that the guilty party pays for the hospital expenses for her sons who were seriously injured.
Chan Soveth, an investigator for the Adhoc human rights group, indicated that the authority should send this case to the higher levels so that it can be dealt with legally. He said that the bodyguards’ action constitutes a violation of human rights and the law, and the perpetrators, regardless of their ranks, must be sentenced according to the criminal law.

Ah Cham Prasith is a gangster and one of CPP gangsters. They let their people bid up the innocent people.
In Cambodia If you're rich and powerful, you won't be touched. Everyone is sitting above the law.
One thing I recommend the villagers is to shoot them one by one when they're out of their cage alone. Don't be afraid and you need to revenge back. Just hide yourself in the bush and use arrow to shoot each of the bodyguard in the head. If you can kill Ah Cham Prasith, it's better too. Don't use gun because they can hear you.
Khmer people need to stand up and fight back the enemy like Ah gangsters in CPP including Ah Hun Kwak.
ah choy mray cham prasith nis keu ah kanh cheas dach sach leang kdet ach aoy ah hun sen dael chea ah yang yuon bantop aoy truot kbal khmer. ah slab phot pouch. ah runteas kandal thngay chom kandak khuor baek lolea.
He is one of the big thief of Cambodia, stealing hundreds of million dollars fro the nation's revenue.
Cham Prasith's bachelor degree in political science cannot find a decent job in the US, Cambodia is the best place for him to rob.
Dear all,
I fully understand your frustration. In the current system of justice, it is hard to win again them using the law. The local authority would not be able to do anything or else they would risk their necks too.
9:23 PM, Pls do not suggest like that cause by doing so you are pushing them to dead. They stand no chance in doing so...
Cham Prasith appears to work for Hun Sen from the outlook. But in reality, he is the feudal lord at the Commerce Ministry.He sets up the entire ministry as his own business. His chochous wife or maimay khdiet sruoy (employees called Horny Tigress Tep Bopha and overreaching and self conceding daughter Cham Nimol report to none at the ministry.
They can do as they please and threaten employees who dare to question their agendas.They use ministerial female employees to do their house chores and shopping for Choomtiav Khdet sruoy Bopha on state offical time.
Horny Tigress Tep Bopha usually sends boxes of cash in US currency to Evil Foxy Hun Sen wife as a pay off to keep her little brother-in- law and now her-do-boy husband in position.
CAMCONTROL and other authority from Commerce Minstry will collect Teuk Ea to send for Prasith private coffer at the end of month.
Finance (Treasury) Minstry should oversee Commerce and Economic ministry. To save money and reduce corruption, Commerce and Economic should be reshuffled and re-ranked as Director General instead of ministers.
Prasidh is too independent in making his kid and wife to be his personal witch hunters in the ministry. Junior officials are fearful of Bopha and Nimol unlimited power.
The big problem was almost from the bodyguards, who oft used their own power without permission.
This is the today's situation in our country. But in this case sure Mr. Cham Prasith is still the responsible person.
while I don't doubt the accusation, but 62 families? not 62 people but families that means like hundred of people. That is like the whole village. What is this a beat down show down? There is some hole in the story.
How come the opposite folks don't have any bodyguards?
If we lawfully or eventually can put these bodyguards in jail, therefore their master would be one day ended up in jail, too.
someone shoot the bodyguard with a sling shot, lure him in and toss him a grenade to eat for breakfast! That will wake Mr. Prasid up to his guard's behaviors.
There is no egg or rock when the law is apply. There is only cowards and people who are evil or people who stand for justice. If you are shit for cops shoot yourself or go do some other job where cowardice is respected!

Now, go and fuck yourself.
He sure does look like the King of Thailand. Don't you think he is Thai?
4:39 AM
His daughter has already screwed with this guy who lives in Rochester, Minnesota. The daughter's majoring in international business in Saint Thomas University.
Fuck Ah David Hou; this son-of-bitch also lives in Minnesota.
CPP Traitor
Sharp Shooter for Hire. Anyone?
In Lon Nol period, those Khmer Rouge told me that "Lon Nol appointee create the law but they sit on the law", so we must fight against them, when we win we will have all of our right back". But now, when I compare for both regime about the misuse of power, Lon Nol's Govt is better, not wild like today.
The old farmer
Let go get Ah Mother Fucker, David Hou and that bitch.
Nobody Khmer people can help this Khmer woman family because Trinh Kam Basith is a former North Vietnamese official.
UNACCEPTABLE!
There is no such thing a disputed zone between Thailand and us. Khmer side of the border. The Thai makes a dispute.
I call on Cham Prasidh to resign from his position.
Vanak.
គាត់ជាអង្គរក្សទំនើង ក្នុងសង្គមទំនើង!
Hun Sen and his gangs don't even know what the word [law] means. Currently, they think they're gods(thevada). The people should stop fighting between each other and unite to stop this tyranny.
We live in a fake democracy; it's still a communist country. East Germany managed to beat communism, and the country became whole. It's because the people stood up for their belief. If they can do it, so can we.
Fuck China, Vietnam and Trannyland!
Hun Sen, you must look into this case. You need to create a common law to protect everyone equally. Such law may include all political members who committed the crimes must be in jail and disqualified from working for its government. You are a nation's leader, like a father to the nation or a father to his children, which child is bad; you have to discipline him/her. Bullying, power and control are not acceptable in our society as everyone is equally important doesn't matter who they are or where they come from!. Please give value to people (one death is too many) in return you will place value onto you own government. Aust
12:07AM Please stop putting that adv. because what is done is done. we need to move on forward and find solution for peace. Least we can do is learned from our past mistake and turn it into a positive learning outcome. We khmer must be united like all for one and one for all. We must fight for any injustice in our society and it will take a whole nation to do that, it is called "Team work" zero tolerant to criminal acts.
H S has turned Cambodia into a feudal state in which the rich and powerful like Chom Praseth and his wife and groups were above the laws. But he thinks he is the Great. He was a caterpillar, and turned as a butterfly. And now he scorns and suppress others of his origin. A Baraing Dog has its difficult days! KhOpen,
To 11:29
Correction
god = preah
angel = thevada
AH PPU think that AH Hun Sen is thevada.
To AH PPU, if you still think that AH Hun Sen is thevada, make sure that you go to see a psychiatrist.
AH Hun Sen is NOT a thevada.
AH Hun Sen is a murderer.

The authority should bring the suspect to Justice.
Cham Prasidh might train his bodyguard to be a professional.
When Cham Prasidh was young in high school in Phom Penh, he has barely money to pay school, food. Actually, he has became riche guy, and his behavior are the same.
New Phally
As a new contributor to KI Media, I'm disturbed by how much talk of violence and racism there is in regards stories about violence. Have we learnt nothing from our history?
Also, if you examine history, did officials behave differently under Sihanouk, or Lol Nol or under the French or Angkorian kings? Were they subservient to the law? Did they not have bodyguards? Did not people 'disappear' under Sihanouk and others like they do under the current regime?
It seems to me that the exhibiting of one's power by trampling on those weaker than you (called bullying in Western societies - usually indicating an insecurity with one's position in life and a lack of self-confidence), could almost be called an unfortunate Cambodian stereotype. It is a pity that I have come to this conclusion.
SRP if you are here listen up!!! this kind of statement that you will need to use to attack CPP!!! that how you win the heart of khmer people because we so HATE this kind of abuse from the hight rang goverment. smart up!!
CHAM PRASID AND HIS FAMILY MUST BE ELIMINATED ...
MR HUN SEN alway say he wanted to wipe out all of gangster (kmeng tom nerg) nomatter how hight thier back up is but what are you gonna do with these 6 dirty rat? we know the answer alreay your word only work with innocent poor cambo next time don't yell if you not man enought to achieve it, make me sick i find him more arrogant everyday.
7:44 AM,
Cham Prasith is not Vietnamese. He is Khmer. The look can be deceptive.
Prasidh is Chin from head to toes.His big sister-in-law wife may be half and half Yuon and Chin.
So his daughter is a mixed bag of old bags left over from Rochester,MN.
No. Cham Prasith is Khmer. I knew the family too well.
Just to remind those abusive officials that time has changed, you can no longer twist facts and exercise public power as your right and previledge anymore.
Please respect people power.
Your time is coming closed.

The daughter of this son-of-bitch was repeatedly fucked by this guy from Rochester, Minnesota with the blessings from Ah David Hou.
7:32 PM
Presumably, you have known this family--perhaps too well. However, do you have any knowledge or idea that the daughter of this son-of-bitch was repeatedly fucked by this guy from Rochester, Minnesota, while she was attending the University of Saint Thomas (majoring in international business) with the blessings from Ah David Hou and rest of his friends and family who are presently conducting and condoning the practice?
Please answer me the above question; in addition, perhaps you should shed some light on this David Hou and his personal background--if you will--so we might understand this son-of-btich better.
CPP Traitor
The ONLY person who can successfully intervene and meddle with the (rather disturbing)case is the Prime Minister Hun Sen; he is the (again) the ONLY hope--for these underprivileged people (as perceive by the regime).
Further, this is a major repudiation of peace and stability, which was (and is)purported by the one-eyed tyrant and his political tyrannical clunkers.
Today, I have to say that I am-- and the rest of KHMER KI readers--saddened and appalled by the newly-discovered incident, which clearly shows how egregious it is to see this type of culture of violence.
Moreover, I am disappointed and displeased with Ah Sen and his political clunkers for conducting and condoning and practicing of this despicable act of violence.
CPP Traitor
Thats funny 12:28pm............THEVEDA LOL
Some day these dogs turn on their owner. If they are under pay their salary.
10:19 PM
Wow, you aren't that too bad yourself. She was repeatedly fucked by some guy, and how about you? Have you been fucked or fucked people? Two things people do so good in life: fuck and eat.
The immunity become culture in Cambodia context and political influnce. We could not get fairness through rule of law system however I believe only changing ruling government will lead to social justice.
