The Phnom Penh Post
A JOURNALIST for the Sam Rainsy Party-aligned Khmer Machas Srok newspaper alleged on Tuesday that bodyguards working for Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) officials had threatened to kill him.
Boay Roeuy, 40, who has worked for the paper since 1994, said he was at his home in Dangkor district’s Krang Thnong commune on Tuesday when a bodyguard whom he could identify only as “Sna” and several other men turned up at his door with a handgun and began shouting for him to come outside.
Boay Roeuy said that neighbours later told him that the men work as bodyguards for CPP officials.
He added that he fears for his safety because the bodyguard known as “Sna” lives in a house across the street from his own.
“If I would have gone outside my house they would have shot at me,” he said.
Boay Roeuy said he had informed the rights group Licadho of the incident and submitted a complaint to Mak Mi, the Krang Thnong commune police chief.
Mak Mi said on Tuesday that he had received Boay Roeuy’s complaint on April 20, but that no action had yet been taken.
“It doesn’t look like a case of intimidation or a death threat against the journalist,” he said, adding that during Khmer New Year it is normal for villagers to play loud music, shout in the streets and drink beer.

This is how the Kingdom of Wonder "ព្រះរាជាណាចក្រនៃភាពងើៀងឆ្ងល់" មិនមែន "ព្រះរាជាណាចក្រអច្ឆរិយៈ" នោះទេ។ practices. The police chief said that "it is normal for villagers to play loud music, shout in the streets and drink beer....sic! and gun down people too...right?

“It doesn’t look like a case of intimidation or a death threat against the journalist,”
are you serious? there are eye witness that saw the CPP body guard with guns shouting for the journalist to come out, that is not intimidation?
I say kill them all before they can kill you, kill all of these CPP dogs, they dont deserve to breath the same air as real Cambodians.
