CPP Tycoon-Gov't Officials can't take the heat?

Has this tycoon-land thief (R) resigned also?
Tycoons quit before declaring assets

Ten tycoons have asked permission to resign their government posts following the introduction of new rules requiring senior officials to disclose their assets to anti-graft authorities, an official said on Tuesday.

Sieng Borath, deputy president of the Anticorruption Unit, said that the businessmen – which included senators, members of parliament and advisors to senior officials – tendered their resignations when asset declarations became mandatory at the start of this month.

He did not name names, and emphasised that those reportedly involved were not resigning in an attempt to cover up ill-gotten gains, but were instead afraid they might accidentally leave some of their many assets off the declaration form.

“An oknha [tycoon], he has his legitimate job. There is nothing involved with corruption, but he finds it difficult because of his many assets,” Sieng Borath said in a speech on asset declarations at the Ministry of Information on Tuesday.


“The resignation doesn’t mean that he is corrupt, but that he finds it difficult to include those assets, that he might forget.”

Under the Kingdom’s new Law on Anticorruption, as many as 100,000 senior government officials will be required to declare their assets to the ACU by the end of next month.

When contacted on Tuesday, two tycoons holding government posts said they would not resign in the face of the new regulations.

“What the state requires us to do, we must do that. If we resign, it means that we have a problem,” said Chea Chamroeun, an oknha and parliamentarian from the ruling Cambodian People’s Party.

Yin Sovanny, an adviser to Senate President Chea Sim, agreed resignations could be construed as a sign of guilt.

“For me, there is no problem. It is not necessary to resign because we have not done anything [illegal],” he said.

Opposition Sam Rainsy Party spokesman Yim Sovann said tycoons were free to resign, but that the timing raised the question of whether they were trying to conceal ill-gotten gains.

“In the country that has the rule of law, even if they have big business and have any [government] posts, if they have honest business they will not be scared of declaring assets,” he said.

“We do not accuse any okhna, but in [Cambodia] most oknhas have illegal business.”

This couple is a real criminal. He has no reason to be respected nor to be recommended at all excepte for their arrest and put to jail.
They have stolen enough public lands and privated lands. They have destroyed enough State forests and national environment. They have destroyed enough National economy. They have employed too many criminals to protect their daily lives.
Each day, they spent about $4000 on bodyguard fees to protect their lives.

it's a good sign that the anti-corruption law is working, slowly but surely! god bless cambodia.

in tycoons like these, their corruption is mostly them not paying taxes to the state! unlike in america, in cambodia, rich people don't really pay taxes at all, they get to keep all the money they made from selling of real estates, business, investment, etc, etc... they all should start paying the state taxes from now on! same all over cambodia, people don't really pay taxes like people in america do. that part of why they got rich so quickly, not giving back to the country and the community and society that made them rich in the first place, i think! all of that ought to be changing i.e. reformed, etc!

They want to resign from the goverment jobs so it will be easier for them to cover up their asset that they got from the corruption. It's very understandable why they want to resign.

Lao Meng Khin is an opportunist.
Does that answer your question??

Land concession is just another word for land for sale, of course just like the monk said Cambodia is for sale. Greedy son of a bitch.

Look at Beng Kok contracted for 99 years, KOs Pich, Kos Poss, Phnom Borko, Ankor Wat, Tole Sap and all of those so call lands concession. Every thing is for 99 years. Soon the palace and the parliament house will be on sale for 99 years too. They just don't care about the next generation. You young people have to fight for it other wise you will get nothing left.

Youn every where they don't care, they only want more money and more power. What a traitors.... slaves to youn. Wake up and do somethings Traitors before you destroy the Cambodia.

Hun Sen = Mr. 99 years = slave to youn = TRAITOR = Youn every where in srok Khmer
