An advisor to Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen has apologized for making a statue without permission.

In a letter made available to the media on Friday, Om Yintieng, advisor to Prime Minister Hun Sen said he had made a statue of the Prime Minister in a way to express his respect and gratitude, but without knowledge or consent from him.

He thus made a public apology and asked for forgiveness from the premier.

Om Yintien made the apology soon after the Cabinet of Prime Minister Hun Sen issued a statement on Thursday saying a number of places have been displayed with statues of the country's leaders or certain artists make sculpture or reproduction in objects of the leaders for decoration at homes or as souvenirs.

The statement said the gesture has affected the country's tradition and culture which does not allow any statue or sculpture of the leaders be displayed while they are still alive.

In the letter of apology, Om Yintieng did not mention the details of Hun Sen's statue that he had built and where exactly it will be displayed, but local media has reported Friday saying the premier's statue was designed for display inside the premise of government's anti-corruption unit, where is chaired by Om Yintieng.

The statue which was seen Thursday by reporters under the wraps was already removed from the site on Friday.

it's going to be interesting what they will with the statues already created? Keep it and it's bad Karma but destroying might be the same?

All Cambodians must burry Hun Sen's statues NOW. When he gets assassinated and I am sure he will, then we can burry his dead body with the statues.

Isn't the Anticorruption Commission suppose to be independent from the government of Hun Sen? This goes to show that this dumb ass cock sucker Om Yentieng blew up his boss's spot and blew the whistle to the people of Cambodia and the International Community showing that the Anticorruption Commission is still run by MR. Corruptor himself "Hun Sen". If these kind of guys or their staues were in the US they would've gotten hit by a carton of nearly hatched eggs "pong tea koun" already!!

Om Yintien made the big, big mistake by made a statue of his big boss, while his boss is still alive, but yes, it is very good for Cambodia to celebrate. Why? Because one biggest gangster will come to the end of his life soon, and it is the end of Viet encroachment too.
Let's make a party body, we Khmer will get out from the monster Vietnam soon.
Om Yintien, you must run a way from Cambodia now or you will get kill by your big boss's dog.
Om Yintien you have done a great job!!! Hun Sen is worry, the end is coming for him.
