Translated from Khmer by Soch

The judge of the Phnom Penh municipal court rejected the recent information published by local newspapers whereby Kem Sokha, the HRP party president, would have been charged with defamation. Sok Roeun, a judge of the Phnom Penh municipal court, told RFA on Wednesday that he issued a summons for Kem Sokha to come in to clarify the court on 06 September in regards to the lawsuit brought up by former CCHR employees who accused Kem Sokha of corruption when he was the CCHR president. Sok Roeun indicated that he did not charge Kem Sokha with breach of trust and falsification of private letters yet, and he did not charge Kem Sokha with defamation as reported by local newspapers. In response to the question raised by RFA reporter who asked why did it take 4-year for the lawsuit by former CCHR employees to come up, Sok Roeun said that he has the right to bring this case up anytime he wants to.

In Buddhist Dharma, the 5 precepts forbid the killing (Kom Samlab). But Khmers killed Khmers. Are they Buddhists? Are they Buddhist only in pretense? or Are they liars? But lying (Kom Kohak) is forbidden also in the 5 precepts.
We have the precepts (the Laws) to follow. But we do not do it. So we reap the consequences from our actions or in-actions. That means whatever the rules and regulations we promulgated for our nation (or against) has never been fully applied.
Nations were conquered by other nations because of this lawlessness (and precipitated by other factors as well.)So the Khmer nation (will perish.)until we take into our own hands to reverse it, to repent, to turn to God.
