Translated from Khmer by Socheata

A one-star RCAF general and his bodyguard were immediately arrested by the military police in Samrong Tong district, Kampong Speu province, after they shot an ice-hauling tuk-tuk driver and injured him. The Koh Satepheap newspaper reported that the incident took place at 10AM on 28 March 2010 along National Road No. 51 from Thnal Toteung to Oudong, in front of the gate to Wat Ang Khmao Pagoda, located in Sambo commune, Samrong Tong district. The victim was 31-year-old Korng Korn who lives in Trapaing Kantuot village, Sambo commune, Samrong Tong district. He was transporting iced on his tuk-tuk when he turned to go to the Wat Ang Khmao Pagoda, his maneuver startled one-star general Soy Narit who was driving a black Toyota Camry with his bodyguard. The Camry which was traveling from Thnal Toteung to Thmat Pong barrack had to avoid the tuk-tuk in great fright. The incident brought fury to General Soy Narit who pulled his K-54 handgun to shoot at the tuk-tuk driver. The one shot fired hit and pierced the cheek of the tuk-tuk driver who had to be taken to the hospital in emergency for medical care. As for the hot-tempered general, immediately after the incident, he was arrested by the military police which sent him to their headquarters so that his case can be built up.

wow, it's good to see gov't finally step up to arrest all who committed wrong doing, even general with stars and moon and sun and other planets, etc... yes, the gov't is moving slowly into the right direction, i think, by making arrest of anyone, regardless of their status, rank, etc... if they committed abuse like this, and let the law deal with deal once and for all. and make sure to use the media as an engine to publicize the news all over cambodia so people can judge for themselves. i'm sure no khmer person in their right mind would condone or support this kind of abuse or bad behavior by an official, whether soldiers, gov't workers, etc... yes, everybody keeps demand gov't to reform big time. for once, i am very glad to see they arrested these abusive people who used their power and privilege, etc... may god continue to guide, give counsel and bless our beloved cambodia in the right direction once and for all. amen.

i know, khmer people hated abusers like this, especially those using their privilege, power, etc to hurt or abuse others. i'm sure when gov't continue to arrest and use the law against these abusers, khmer people will love them and vote for them and praise them and trust them, etc... please, continue to look out for our people and country, gov't. i think khmer people will be proud of gov't for taking such action by jailing them and put them in prison for abusing their power and get away with it. god bless cambodia and all law-abiding citizens out there.

Gov't is doing the right thing by arresting these bad thugs and also it is a way to show that our gov't is improving toward human rights and justice. In other words, it is very significant to show gov't's image and reputation that they are not part of such evil acts. So, May god bless our khmer gov't to continues to do the right things and may they live forever in doing god's works in the name of lord Jesus Christ, Amen.! May god blessed my beloved home and its people Amen. wisdom

Soldiers are always like that,
I saw with my own eyes, under Sihanouk, under Lon Nol, under Pol Pot and now under Hun Sen.
This behavior feeds hatred and will never end, the worst result was what Pol Pot soldiers did to Lon Nol soldiers.

Cette peersonne qui a commis son crime est déjà arrêté et il est en prison actuellement pour attendre le jugement. Une faute personnelle d'une personne n'est rien à voir avec le gouvernement du Cambodge. Je suis pas pour Hun Sen, mais il faut quand même être raisonnable et objectif pour faire des commentaires ici car la guerre civile est déjà terminée au Cambodge. La haine et la jalousie ne peuvent rien apporter à notre Cambodge.

A Cambodian general with a ganster temperament.

How did he earned his star I wondered. I thought general should have some type of self discipline, self restraint.

I ventured to guess this hot-head purchased his military ranking. Just like everything else in this backward country is for sale, so is this hot-head's star ranking.

Can you imagine trying to live in a country where there are many this kind of lunatic running loose.
The country aspire to become developed. But this general behavior just indicate how backward the attitude of the people are. Lawlessness, violence, injustice is what characterize Cambodia not only in gov't but in ordinary people as well. I'm glad I only come to only once in awhile to visit this motherland of mine.

May God have mercy on this nation.

Once again, this stupid general has to go to jail.

He can't took the law into his own hands.

Well we all know this is Cambodia!!!

Interested rights groups should keep a tap on cases like this to see whether the culprit ends up being served - and sees out - due penal punishment, or evades - as is the case with so many convictions - justice through loopholes and backups in the system.

If the government is serious about cracking down on such crimes, it is all well and good for them and ordinary folk. If it is just a publicity stunt to appease public clamour for reform in public security and law enforcement, then that impunity culture is not going to go anywhere.

Individuals such as this one star general can not be where he is in terms of rank and influence without having more powerful connections somewhere in higher places. He exercises his power knowing all the while the likely consequences he will have to face up to. After a few days in jail, a phone call from another general in Military Region 4 to RCAF HQ on his behalf about the urgent need for him to resume his day to day command of his post for the sake of the region's military stability will suffice to release him of his sentence. Our general will then be back in his Lexus aided by a pistol carrying body guard driving it recklessly about town and getting annoyed by being slowed down by Tuk Tuk vehicles, or worse should they dare to overtake him!

There are just too many instances of similair abuses to mention, one of which involves parking the Lexus or other expensive 4-wheel drives right across people's entrance to their homes with a conspicuous-looking armed guard sitting next to the vehicle for intimidating effect!

People often choose to turn a blind eye on such daily abuses because they do not think it is safe to approach or reason with these individuals. A neighbour was shot by another next door neighbour - also an army officer - for making too much noise. Any sign of perceived slight could warrant a death sentence.

I would strongly call on the authority to enforce an arms ban in all residential areas. This should apply to everyone - except special units in the police dealing with armed criminals or military police on duty. This will pave the way for a transition to a more secure and safer environment for everyone.

It's the government's job to ensure the safety of all people. There is no need to praise the good deed of the government for this. It's been so long that this government abuse its own people. Maybe the general is the powerless one. If he is a crony of Hun Sen, no body can touch him. Look at those Ouk Nha who steal lands from people. No body can do anything to them.

Cambodia, a land whose people has lost it way.

-A land where a general lost temper and shot the tuk tuk driver.This luny will probably get away with it too.

-The only country in the region where acid attack is a common occurrence.

-A land where eviction of common people from their land is permissible.

-A land where people in authority help themself to the nation's resources, a "me first mentality."

-A land who would like to pull itself from being bottom in development ranking, but just don't seem to have the will to make the necessary structural changes.

-A land where not too long ago a murderous regime ravage its own people in the millions, yet some resemblance of justice has yet to be served.

Can anyone out there answer what it is going to take to change the moral attitude of Khmer?
What Khmer had as a moral compass for the last three to four centuries is not working.

These okna, general, pm, kings and prince they come and go but the nation is not progressing, in fact regressing at times, and nearly lost it to Vietnam. Could it be if Cambodia continue on its current course that at some point it will cease to exist as a nation? The cause may not be from external powers but perhaps from internal moral failure.

There is a saying, "where there is no vision the people perish."

I think you're wrong! they won't be released casue the public already knew about! Remember, he's only 1 star general. If he were 4 stars, that's another story.

You people are so naive. The scumbag and his bodyguard will be out terrorizing others in no time. This is Hun Sen's regime that we are talking about.

Unfortunate, but this happen when you have an ignorant, ruthless mafia reigns supreme.

I'm suprise to read how many people look to Hun Sen to enforce the law. While he is the main person can do just that right now, but eventually law enforce will have to pass down the chain, to ordinary policeman. Oridnary policeman will need to be empowered, and the justice system need to have independence to interpret the law. Whatever the law prescribe, everyone has to obey. Until Cambodia legal environment evolve to such a condition there can be no progress.
Ever wondered why the Janpanese shy away from investing too much in the country? They would prefer to give hand outs instead of investing in a country where there is little law and order, and corruption run rampant.

People will continue to look to Mr. H S for justice. Unfortunately, H S will not always be around. After H S there will be another leader who the people will look to for justice. So the cycle goes in a system where law and enforcement rest with a person. It is only good as long as the leader is alive. How sad is that...
