Comment: It's the matter of Soy Sopheap who comes fast and goes fast for his potential game. He might has more power than the sponsor. In his website, the banner said "the ministry of information agreed to close his business". It's likely not his decision as a director and founder (sic) to discontinue this.

The Monivong Boulevard office of the Deum Ampil Media Centre, which announced Thursday that it has shuttered its newspaper, radio and magazine operations due to financial constraints.THE head of the Deum Ampil Media Centre announced on Thursday that he had abruptly shut down operations of its popular newspaper, radio station and magazine, citing financial problems.
Soy Sopheap, a well-known media personality and the centre’s director general, said the suspension of the three products – Deum Ampil newspaper, Radio FM 93.75 and Morokot magazine – would go into effect on Thursday, and that there were no immediate plans to restart any of them.
“I have informed the minister of information about the suspension of the newspaper, radio station and magazine due to a financial crisis,” said Soy Sopheap, who declined to offer further information.
Soy Sopheap said the media centre’s website would continue being updated with daily news items. On Thursday, the website carried an announcement informing readers of the closure of the newspaper, radio station and magazine.
Soy Sophea, Soy Sopheap’s brother and editor-in-chief of Morokot magazine, said the three operations were closed because of a budget disagreement between Soy Sopheap and the media group’s financial backer, Sieng Chanheng, owner of the Heng Development Company.
He said that Soy Sopheap made the decision to go ahead with the suspension after he was asked to cut the total expenses of the operations in
half.
“They do not want to see further losses, so they asked to reduce the expenses and reduce the staff numbers, but we cannot do it,” Soy Sophea said.
He said Soy Sopheap had concluded that he could not make dramatic cuts to his staff of 110 employees and still operate satisfactorily, so he decided to stop their operations altogether.
When contacted by the Post on Thursday, Sieng Chanheng said she had not been made aware of the suspension.
She acknowledged that her organisation was losing tens of thousands of dollars each month as part of its investments in Deum Ampil, but she said she had never asked that operations be shut down.
“It is not a matter of money. We have the money for funding. We lost between US$10,000 to $40,000 a month, but there was no problem,” said Sieng Chanheng, who instead pointed the finger at Soy Sopheap.
“The problem is, Soy Sopheap does whatever he wants to without informing us, the sponsors,” she said.
Buth Bovuth, director general of the Department of Information and Broadcasting at the Ministry of Information, confirmed that he had received the letter from Soy Sopheap informing the ministry of the closure of the three Deum Ampil operations.
“I think his centre is very popular among the readers because it provides good news and quick news,” Buth Bovuth said.
“His main cause of the closure is the shortage of operating finances.”
Deum Ampil newspaper began publishing in 2006. The organisation’s magazine was started in February 2009, and the radio station went live last December.

Anonymous said...Ah soy Sopheap had no job to do.go to eat kreup ampil yuon. nobody wanted to read your deum ampil.
Ah Soy sopheap is a know-it all person. When his cohost comments on matters of the discussion, Ah soy sopheap would rather be looking at his nails instead of paying attention to his stupid cohost. In addition why does he need a stupid cohost who only knows how to say repeatedly Hun Sen's name a million times each session. What a dirty ass-kisser. If I am Hun Sen, I will ask the stupid sissy head to stop. I bet ah Chum Kosal is gay and what is up with his hair style? Man I saw this dude since I was a teenaager and the dude still looks the same with his hair style. I bet he is wearing a wig. Anyway, it is time for ah Chum Kosal to grow some spine and be a man instead of being a door mat. Door mat that is it.
I am wondering what will happen to Mayarith the guy who left RFA to join Soy Sopheap in radio broad casting . That guy betrayed RFA and its listeners last year .
That is most Cambodian Phd wanting to do when they cannot be employed properly. They lost their integrity and conscience and sell themself for moneys regardless what they have to sell. I am really sick and tired to advocate Nationalism and professionalism. So far very few of these Phd have reached to my respect.
Please remember, we can live only up to 90 years old the most. So we need only some moneys to live. Therefore, we need to stand strong with our own belief and our own conscience. To reach Phd, you have read a lot of books. Please do not wait until I throw all those books to your face.
Wake up and stand up for your country and for your people and don't let dollars to foul you !!!

Soy Sopheap is just a bastard gang! He used to work as the reportoer for Moneaksekar Khmer Newspaper. He also used to work a Secretary General for Hang Dara Democratic Movement Party during the election campaign. For the post of Secretary General of Hang Dara Democratic Movement Party, he used the fake name Samreth.
I know Soy Sopheap very well. Soy Sopheap was the jobless because he had no higher education. In 1994, Soy Sopheap helped Dam Sithik to form an independent newspaper called Moneaksekar Khmer, but he never run the newspaper. Latter on owing to his broken English, Soy Sopheap has worked as a freelance reporter for Kyodo News Agency. Because of his inability to write good English for the Kyodo, then he lost the job. After that, Soy Sopheap was jobless and again has worked as a freelance reportor for Moneaksekar Khmer. His pseudonym for Moneaksekar Khmer is Tum Somalay. During the parliamentarian election in 2003, Soy Sopheap has worked as the Secretary General for Hang Dara's Democratic Movement Party ( Kanak Pak Hang Dara Chalna Prachea Thepatay). As a Secretary General, he has changed his given name to Samreth. During the campaign in 2003, Soy Sopheap frequently approached Dam Sithik and asked to publishe his political party platform and campaign message on Moneaksekar Khmer Newspaper, but was refused by Dam Sithik. Soy Sopheap was angry with Dam Sithik and stop working for Moneaksekar Khmer. At that time the CTN TV station just started the broadcasting, and then Soy Sopheap was seen on the CTN as the news analist.
Now Soy Sopheap is the real tool of the CPP. He could change his mind so quickly from the critic of the government to the slave of Hun Sen. If you want to know how Soy Sopheap has criticised Hun Sen and the CPP, please find the old publication of Moneaksekar Khmer Newspaper and find any article writen by Tum Somalay and then you will know how Soy Sopheap was critical to Hun Sen and the CPP.
Soy Sopheap had many wives. His current wife is the fourth one. The first wife was a Chines-Khmer woman that devorsed him after having one son. The second one was a daughter of Pich Tum Kravel, Undersecretary of State for Ministry of Culture and Fine Ars. She not married to Soy Sopheap yet but had lived together. Pich Tum Kravel's daughter left Soy Sopheap when she made an performing art tour to the US. After a while Soy Sopheap married another women. I remenber that time Khiev Kanharith also attended his wedding. After wedding about 5 months, his third wife had died while working at Parkway business center in Phnom Penh. Then Soy Sopheap married the fourth woman that is a current wife.
