Phnom Penh - Cambodia rejected Monday a Thai media claim that the daughter of Prime Minister Hun Sen is to take a stake in a Thai firm at the centre of a spying row. A cabinet statement said the government's management of Cambodia Air Traffic Services (CATS), a Thai-owned air traffic control firm, is temporary.
However, the statement did not indicate how long the government's hold over CATS would last.
"The spokesman wishes to stress, once again, that the Royal Government of Cambodia appointed its officials to temporarily supervise and manage the company, only to protect the national security and safety for Cambodian leaders," it said.
A Thai employee of CATS was arrested November 12 for allegedly leaking the flight details of Thailand's fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra during his recent visit to Cambodia.
Thaksin was in Cambodia in his capacity as an economic adviser to the Cambodian government and as a personal adviser to Hun Sen.
The two appointments and Thaksin's visit sparked a diplomatic row that plunged relations between the neighbouring countries to their lowest level in years, as each government recalled its ambassador.

Who cares about CATS???
The Thai staff already confirmed that he informed the Thai Embassy about the destination of the flight of Thaksin.
His stupid lawyer told in public that this was not a confidential information.
The lawyer forget that his client forwarded confidential Information to another Government.
So let him stay in jail, no bail until the problem with Thailand is cleared.
What is more interesting.
It seems everybody know that in Phnom Penh, Walkabout Hotel people are dealing with drugs.
Nothing happen!!!
The Australian owners have high protection from Police.
The worst place in Cambodia, the worst prostitutes with HIV which everybody who know the place can confirm!
Nothing happen. They take a blind eye on it.
I am sure if Hun Sen would know about this he would immediately shut down this place as it is a threat to National Security!
Next month they even open a former Brothel beside the "New Walkabout Hotel" where they catches underage girls years ago.
Guess where the owners of Walkabout got the money to buy this hotel???
Drugs and Girls and the Government keep a blind eye on it!
Walkabout Hotel????

Who in the world does not know Cambodia is Hun Sen's Cambodia Inc.
Even if Hun Sen does not own it directly, he still has his middlemen to extort the profits everything that happens in Cambodia.
Hun Sen steals money from the Nation and then turns around to offer a tiny bit to voters to buy votes during elections.
Hun Sen= Tiger
Khmer Nation's money= Meats
Tiger + Meats = Hun Sen in power for life.
Khmer Angkor.
KY, great insights! I totally agree.
Nothing will grow if the soil is contaminated. Clean the soil! The current unethical ruling government must replace for any chance of growing.
No it's not cambodia deny, it's Hun Sen deny
