TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta: The government will continue to offer domestic made weapons to ASEAN countries. Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said that one of the types of weapon proposed is the SS2 (Assault Rifle 2) produced by state-owned weapons manufacturer, PT. Pindad . “But there has been no positive responses yet,” he said in Jakarta on May 22.

Laos and Cambodia are among the interested countries. In addition, the government also offered the weapons to Brunei Darussalam. The other weapon proposed was a grenade launcher with a night vision mechanism.

The SS2 rifles began to be manufactured by PT. Pindad in 2006 to replace the SS1 type. The 5.56x45 millimeter weapon is 930 millimeter long and has a 460 millimeter-long barrel. The SS2 can dispense 700 bullets per minute at a distance of 710 meters per second. One of the military units in Indonesia using these weapons Navy commando divers.

points to make:
1- with weapon, Cambo. govnt. has no one to kill but to suppress khmer people from protesting to fefend their rights.
2- Idonisian has weapon to sell,
what technology products Cambodia has manufactured to sell other than bragging about building school and making road.
3- Cambodia has a lot of Ph D. like Dr. Hun Sen, Dr. Bun Rany. Dr. Manet, Dr. Mong Rithy, etc. What product has been invented by these Dr.
4- Most Cambo. govnt. officials hold Ph D. diploma. Do they still need interpreters when convening at international conference.

2) the real PhD.
What the most CPP have now is the case 1).

Cambodia made the law to be illegal for people to possess weapons because of security reason...but in reality is that when people don't own weapons, the Hun Sen government can take their lands without any resistance.
