PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and three other Cabinet ministers have contracted swine flu and the premier is recovering after several days of medical care, the health ministry said Tuesday.
Hun Sen, 59, required "urgent treatment" after Friday's weekly Cabinet meeting, the Public Health Ministry said in a brief statement released late Tuesday.
"After receiving treatment from medical specialists, the health of Prime Minister Hun Sen is back to normal," the statement said.
The prime minister publicly mentioned last week he had come down with fever and flu-like symptoms, and he was absent from the 59th anniversary of his ruling Cambodian People's Party on Monday.
"Prime Minister Hun Sen has canceled some of his schedule because of his health," said government spokesman Khieu Kanharith.
He said Hun Sen was still receiving medical attention but gave no details.
The statement also said that Yim Chhay Ly, one of several deputy prime ministers, and two other Cabinet-level ministers — Chhay Than and Tao Senghour — had caught the H1N1 virus. It did not give details about their condition.
At least six Cambodians have died from swine flu and at least 600 have contracted it since the virus was first detected in the country last June.
Hun Sen has been at the center of the country's politics since 1985, when he became the world's youngest prime minister at age 33. He has held or shared the top job ever since, bullying and outfoxing his opponents to stay in power.

I pray that he will never recover. Only God can punish him.
I wish Hun Sen dies soon!!
Hok lundy, Pisith Palika and Chea Vichea and many many more wait for you down there..
Sometime during his speech, he said live for 60 years more. I commended that maybe 60 days, 60 weeks, 60 months more...... no way for 60 years. He is good friend of Hok Lundi. I think Hok Lundi is waiting for him to drink wishky. I wish he be reunited with Hok Lundi soon.
Praying and wishing other people harm is a wicked witchcraft that God forbid. You can only pray for blessing other, not to harm any human being, even how bad or evil he is.
You can disagree with someone, but never let your heart fill with hatred and wishing harm. Hatred is a sin that the Buddha and Jesus Christ condemn.
Only God can give or take a man's life. We are not God and we cannot play God, we can't wish for someone to die or kill someone because we think he is a bad person.

Sadhu!! Sadhu!! Sadhu!!!
Thwer baab baan baab...
A new leader working for Khmer interests will emerge...kicking out all Yuon to Yuonland...
and pretty soon another Yuon spy named Ly Diep will be infected with monkey flu! :-)
I wish Hun Sen, Chea Sim, Heng Samrin, Sok An, Keat Chhun, Xihanouk, Kim Jong Il, and all dictators in the world to die soon.
God allow me to do this! Alah akba!
I think the issue here is what WOULD happen if Mr. Hun Sen was seriously sick.
Who would take over and what would the competing factions / families do in that situation? Would we have a similar situation to Nigeria where the health of the president was kept from the people in order for the president's cliche to continue in power?
This is what concerns me, not the fact that he was sick, which may happen to us all, but more importantly what is the process for succession and should a single elected official be allowed to hold so much influence over the governing of a country.
9:30AM,
PISETH PULIKA and CHEA VICHEA are not down there,HOK LUNDI is.
Hun Sen will not die soon. He has to get money from Mu Sochua first. As long as he receive money, he will to visit Hok Lundi.
