Cambodian Ministry of Information requests foreign media to rectify mistakes regarding Hun Sen's "curses"

Minister of Information Khieu Kanharith (pictured) held a press conference on 15th February in which he requested all foreign media to report correctly and truthfully regarding the Khmer-Thai conflicts in order to avoid fueling the conflicts and to avoid damaging the reputation of Cambodian leaders, reports Radio Free Asia.

Mr. Kanharith's request is in reference to recent reports about Mr. Hun Sen's outbursts and supposed "curses" against the Thai Prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva. Mr. Kanharith said Mr. Hun Sen did not curse Mr. Abhisit, but he was just asking him to swear that Thai troops did not invade Cambodia as claimed by the Thai PM. "In the past, there are a lot of misunderstandings. So, I would kindly ask you to correct those words. Samdech (Hun Sen) did not curse, Samdech only ask Abhisit to swear whether Thai troops invade Cambodia or not. If they didn't invade Cambodia, just swear. So, this kind of reportage has caused chaos and affects the reputation of the head of Cambodian government. It is an issue that seriously affecting (the leadership)", he said.

During the speech on 8th February in ta Moan Thom areas on the borders with Thailand, Mr. Hun Sen used strong words to attack Mr. Abhisit, including some words and sentences which many media have interpreted as curses. "If you don’t tell the truth about Siem (Thai) troops’ invasion in Cambodia on 15 July, let the magic objects break your neck, may you be shot, be hit by a car, may you be shocked by electricity or [may you be shot] by misfired guns", Mr. Hun Sen said in the speech.

Mr. Kanharith said the mistakes caused by the translations by some media allow some Thai politicians to use as excuses to attack Mr. Hun Sen and accuse him of interfering in the internal politics of Thailand. "Because of the past issue (of the wrong translations), many Thai media have used negative points to make comments, including Thai politicians, especially they commented that, among the 10 Asean countries, only Cambodia interfered to effect a change of government in Thailand, which is a fellow member country (of Asean like Cambodia). I wish to tell you all that, up until now, Samdech has never said that the Thai people must remove Abhisit or change anything. He only said that regarding the border issues, he doesn't want to talk now because he wants to wait for the new (Thai) government. Why did he say that? Because if the old government changes its policies toward Cambodia... The issue was because Abhisit used Preah Vihear issue to topple the Samak government as the reason. The government led by Prime Minister Hun Sen cannot negotiate with Mr. Abhisit's group if they still use Preah Vihear as a big issue (for their internal domestic and political consumption)", he said.

Mr. Kanharith also criticised foreign media for using the wrong word to describe the Cambodian species of the rare and nearly extinct crocodiles as "Siamese crocodiles", instead of the correct Cambodian term for the species which is "Kropeu Phnom" (mountain crocodile).

In foreign country, a statement that strong is interpreted as curse and it's a curse. You just don't go around and say those words.

In Cambodia, a curse is putting a curse on somebody. Like, because of your bad need, you must become a spider or a snake! and Mr. Hun Sen didn't say that. He just asked Mr. Abhisit to swear, if he is being truthful or not. Mr. Kantharith was corrected in his defending and also the foreign medias were also corrected in their issue statement. It's Just a matter of someone's interpretation. From now on,Mr. Hun Sen is going to have to learn a lot in term of manner when dealing with the foreign press. Another way, a way that Cambodian is doing thing, is not theirs. He just have to get use to it and hopefully able to avoid it. Also nothing bad is going to come out his mouth ever. Especially when he doesn't really mean it. That's all.

You don't have to clean up Hun Sen's mouth; he always curses every one when he gets mad, not only Thai PM. Hun Sen would regret what he had said when he looked at himself on the mirror in the morning.

PM Abhisit knows where he was from. He was indeed used Preah Vihear as his best vehicle to get to his power today. You just don't do it, but knowing him, he'll do anything to get what he wants. Ask Thai people. Thailand lost billions during his game, but did he care? May be, but so. There is a valcano or a tiger in this gentle man's face and no one knows that better than Thai people, the red shirts.

It's about time to see all Cambodian to remove Hun Sen's regime from power. Rise up Cambodian inside, join Sam Rainsy Party or other party so you can moving Cambodia in the right direction. If million of Cambodian stand up thru out the country you all will see change in Cambodia and Cambodian will have a better future.

curse or not curse doesn't matter. hun sen's words are profanity. he is a sinful, bad breed human animal. he's psychologically unfit and should get help from a psychiatrist. he will ruin cambodia soon, if he still stays in power. there has to be a coup to remove him or else it's too late before vietnam take over everything for the indochinese federation headed by vietnam.

Yes, People Power all over the whole of Cambodia will wake up against Hun Sen and his master, Hanoi.

This day will come soon or later, and finish them off like Saddam Hussein.

So if this is such an important issue (which it is), WHY has it taken so long for a Cambodian Government spokesperson to actually say anything to clarify what was actually said by the Prime Minister ?

Anonymous said...

Yeah a coup that never comes. Count on lighting or kr's trail is probably better and the un,but it seek they wait until all those old farts die first. On top of that, it puts cruela de javis as its head. It's just unbelievable.

in short word, hun sen's speach always arrogan, propagan, poor diplomacy speach and trashy. kanarith is one of hunsen's viet slave, u don't need to correct what hunsen had said, becuz it heard all over the internet radio. hunsen spoke out from his mouth without thinking the consequence. instead of calling him samdech hun.., just call him som-ach (demanding shit).

True, it is a curse. Not only Thai PM, Hun Sen cursed everybody, especially opposition parties and his critics, when he get mad at them.

Hun Sen has the right to get made at the Thai PM, but he has to use diplomatic language and international diplomacy to resolve inter-country conflicts. To use profanity and curses against another country's leader is very cheap.

This attempt to rectify the damage done would actually worsen the situation. When you're wrong and can't apologize you stay calm and be silent. And perhaps things will cool off. Hun Sen cursed anyone including some members of the Khmer royal family.

You are trying to make the population of the world look at the Idiotic Hun Sen better. You have a very low-classed Prime Minister. He is a dictator. Lacks of good education. But his behaviours are like those of a son of the bitches. Fuck you Hun Sen. Go to hell Even if you have many honorary degrees, but your behaviours are like those ill-educated slum boys. Cambodia has a very idiotic Prime Minister already.

Anonymous said...

You Cambodians are very stupid in allowing this Idiotic Prime Minister control your country. Lots of corruptions. He is a fucking slave of Vietnam.

Anonymous said...

Hun Sen is a retarded person, when he speeks he loses control like a empoisonnered pig.
Cambodians should be ashamed to be represented by that kind of monkey.
The easiest solution is to replace by someone who is able to speek Khmer properly without need of interpreter.

Well the minister is a Neak Promeuk Chet Min Ang Aaj (he is the coward drunken not the brave drunken man).
See how long he takes to respond to the issue before this statement is released. He just does his job in his style because he is hardly sobered and would never catch up with issues promptly. Sorry folks, that's the CPP government performance and how it works.
