“If we look at the website of the Ministry of Economics and Finance, in the natural resource revenues section, there is no revenue from the sand trade, while sand is being traded to Singapore. Therefore, if there is such a trade, the ministry should include the revenue from sand trade in Koh Kong in its Web page.”Cambodian officials in London have baulked at their challenge to openly debate environmental watchdog Global Witness, which recently warned of damaging coastal sand dredging.
Cambodian Ambassador to the UK Hor Nambora issued an open challenge for a debate in April, saying, it was “time Global Witness was stopped in its tracks and forced to explain and justify its campaign of smear and hatred against the Cambodian government and the Cambodian people.”
UK-based Global Witness, which is an internationally recognized environmental monitoring group, accepted the offer last week.
However, in a May 21 letter to Global Witness Director Simon Taylor, Hor Nambora now says he will not enter a debate, claiming the group has a “hidden agenda” to discredit the Cambodian government.
Global Witness has continually rankled leaders in Phnom Penh with heavily researched reports on timber, oil and mining, and the senior officials and businessmen who run the industries. Its reports are banned in Cambodia, which the group says is being hurt by a kleptocratic elite close to Prime Minister Hun Sen.
In a May report, Global Witness criticized the alleged sale of dredged sand from Cambodia’s coastal zones for sale to Singapore, despite a ban by Hun Sen. That report sparked the latest round of challenges from the Cambodian government. The Cambodian Embassy in London called that report “cheap and rubbish.”
In his letter, the ambassador said Global Witness suffers from “epilepsy and other mental disabilities.”
Mam Sambath, chairman of the group Cambodians for Resource Revenue Transparency, who was on his way to attend oil giant Chevron’s annual meeting in Texas, said he supported public debate on Cambodia’s natural resources.
“If we look at the website of the Ministry of Economics and Finance, in the natural resource revenues section, there is no revenue from the sand trade, while sand is being traded to Singapore,” he said. “Therefore, if there is such a trade, the ministry should include the revenue from sand trade in Koh Kong in its Web page.”

ah lop min krop tirk hor nam bora . if you think that GW has a hidden agenda why did you challenge them for a live debate ? did you think they were afraid of you ? they are not from cambodia and they mean what they say and they are not coward like you and some of your comrades from cpp. how do you feel after you embarrassed yourslef like that ? that's your first lesson dude.
Hor Nam Bora,
You have become an ambassador to the UK because of your daddy, Hor Nam Hong who is the minister of foreign affairs. You absolutely lack an integrity to be a good ambassador for Cambodia.
Seeing your lack of courage to enter a debate which you, yourself suggested, I have lost even more faith in you as an ambassador to represent me and other Cambodians in the UK.
Your government in PP must have done something bad with respect to sand trade or you would not have pulled out so fast. I guess you have eventually realized that you will be nailed so badly that it is better for you to pull out now than face a debate that will make a real fool out of yourself.
Shame on you, Hor Nam Bora!
Look at yourself in the mirror and say this: "Shame on me, I am part of the group that is destroying the very country that has given me everything!"

Just like my prediction from yesterday, 5Bora would not have enough gut to stand in front of world audiens.
5Borachey will have his poop driping down alway to the floor. if
he dear to come out for challenging
with GW. 5 Borachey is not represent khmers,
He is only represent the blind leader.
Thanks GW for being working so bravely and fearlessly to save Cambodia from this corrupted government. May God bless all your staff.
About 2 years ago,Mong Rithy has done the same way, he claimed that
GW acusing his co.of transporting illegal drug/timber in and out his port.
so. rithy responded by ask GW to see him face to face at any time and any place in the world including England.but.after GW agreed to the challege, no one from
Mr.Mong ever respond back to GW.
Dear Ambassador
You gave us disappointment.
We are Cambodian, truly warrior blood. We never cancel our own invitation.
We are looking forward for the changing of your coward attitude.
Probably Faithfully Yours.

9:46,
Digusting! eww, you were considering to sleep with the pig name 5 Bora?
he is lop lop with various mental disabilities and he has epilepsy too!
He claims G.W has hidden agenda, yet it was he and his embassy that cowers behinds the screen of hidden agenda - refusing to come before the public and reveal to us Cambodia's true actions.
If G.W witness has hidden agenda, the debate would be a perfect opportunity for you to provide definite example for your "on the ground" people with clear information.
This you refused, because you are afraid that G.W would call out your own hidden agenda before the public. What a coward!
Whorf Whorf! Oink Oink! Can't make a dog out of a pig. They only eat shit and get fat. Not trustworthy or loyal.
Shame on you for representing us Khmer. You and yours government may end soon, so that we Khmer can suffer less misery!
mother fucker Hor5 Bora and your Dad Ah Hor Nam Hong.
Your Dad fuck the vietnamese pussy taht is why your dad never work for khmer people and Cambodia benefits. Ah Hor nam Hong is working for the Bo Doi benefits.
This MotherF***ker look evil and talk like he is better than the rest of world nobody know better than them
him, he so bold and bastard. If he is really better than Global Witness
report why didn't he come out and show us that he really is, by debate on the issue instead of back out like
a wild beast with a bad mouth. Go back to hell Hor5 bora motherf***ker.
This motherf***ker to learn some manner.
