Media critic: Hun Sen blasts VOA, RFA 'insults'

The Phnom Penh Post

Prime Minister Hun Sen lashed out at Voice of America and Radio Free Asia at a press conference on Friday, saying the news programmes were “inferior”, inaccurate and unfair.

In response to a question about allegations that he has interfered in the Khmer Rouge tribunal’s work and halted its third case, the premier said VOA and RFA reporters needed to “insult” the ruling Cambodian People’s Party in order to draw salaries.

If [VOA and RFA] did not insult the CPP, they wouldn’t have a salary ... If [you have] no salary, come to work for the local radio and I will pay the salary,” Hun Sen said. “You are Khmer, you speak Khmer, you should do something according to Khmer values.”

Hun Sen also said that he would rather see the court fail than its trials cause war.


“I used to speak out that the trial against the former Khmer Rouge leaders must ensure peace and national reconciliation,” he said.

VOA responded to Hun Sen’s comments in a statement by saying that its journalists “adhere to the highest journalistic standards of accuracy and objectivity, standards mandated by US law”.

It is true that Hun Sen can pay higher salary to any journalists serving him and his regime. Soy Sopheap, Som Sattana (Mayaridh) and others receive high pay plus fun fun fun .... that they cannot find outside Cambodia.

It would be difficult to buy a great journalist from outside Cambodia because it's hard for him or her to do as AH Soy Sopheap and Som Sattana who sold their wisdom of being the great journalist to become HUN SEN's dogs.

Koh Tral Island must not be forgotten

By Ms. Rattana Keo

Why do Koh Tral Island, known in Vietnam as Phu Quoc, a sea and land area covering proximately over 30,000 km2 [Note: the actual land size of Koh Tral itself is 574 square kilometres (222 sq miles)] have been lost to Vietnam by whose treaty? Why don’t Cambodia government be transparent and explain to Cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?

Cambodian armies are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 on the Thai border and what's about over 30,000km2 of Cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian armies you are decide the fate of your nation, Cambodian army as well as Cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?

Koh Tral Island, the sea and land area of over 30,000 square kilometres have been lost to Vietnam by the 1979 to 1985 treaties. The Cambodian army at front line as well as all Cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are Cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protecting a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group but disguising as protecting the Khmer nation?

The Cambodian army at front lines suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition and their families have no health care assistance, no securities after they died but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning system with message from young girls, have first class medical care from oversea medical treatments, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make the Cambodian people suffer everyday.

Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that resulted in the loss over 30,000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why they are not being transparent and brave enough to inform all Cambodians and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't they include Koh Tral (Koh Tral size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen and bigger than Singapore [Note: Singapore's present land size is 704 km2 (271.8 sq mi)]) with heap of great natural resources, in the Cambodian education system?

Look at Hun Sen's families, relatives and friends- they are billionaires, millionaires. Where did they get the money from when we all just got out of war with empty hands [in 1979]? Hun Sen always say in his speeches that Cambodia had just risen up from the ashes of war, just got up from Year Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% of innocent Cambodian people are so poor and struggling with their livelihood every day?

Smart Khmer girl, President Ms. Rattana Keo, (I like it in the ass)

VOA and RFA should be replaced with my daughter's Bayon 3. It's the only station that tell the truth, nothing but the truth. Every body else are broadcasting lies and lies.

There are no illegal Vietnamese in Cambodia!

There is no land grabbing in Cambodia but as reported in RFA and VOA, just the opposite happens in Cambodia, under the leadership of our Akeak Sena Thebpa tey Dek cho Hun Sen, lads are given to landless Cambodians not Vietnamese.

There are no illegal logging but our government are planting trees every where in Cambodia.

There are no sand dredging but our government is trying to pave the river to be accessible all year round.

There is no hundreds of death as the results of road accidents in Cambodia as reported by VOA and RFA. Those false reports are just the propaganda of RFA and VOA who work for SRS party.

Ah Hun Sen knows very well about Khmer value, but instead he kills Khmer people by shooting, grabbing, deforesting, sanding, arresting, etc... to serve Youn Vietcong Ho Chi Minh value, not Khmer value that he claims.

He is not Khmer, but 100% pure Youn brain. We, Khmer people, need to chop his head off and Dam Te Ong.

Mr. Rainsy please call up Khmer people to topple Ah Hun Sen and Sihanouk from power before these Tmil Ort Sasna destroy Khmer people and her land.

Ah Hun Sen aka samak mith Nal was a cattle thief, a national trator, a former Khmer Rouge commander during the Democratic Kampuchea Pol Pot Khmer Rouge Regime and now a Khmer Rouge leader of the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Kmer Rouge Regime.

Hun Sen want to be a prime minister of Cambodia forever, but cannot take criticism.

Hun Sen MUST step down NOW and allow other to become a prime minister that is happy to take criticism.

Being a prime minister of Cambodia for five is enough already, wanted be a prime minister of Cambodia for life is too greedy don't you think?

What is wrong with this Khmer Rouge.

Hun Sen is a good boy, he has done and been doing exactly what his boss told him to do.
Hun Sen don't like VOA/RFA because he don't want anybody who's knowing his back ground and say the truth about him, He is a criminal yuomreach!
He asked RFA/VOA journalists to work for him in order to get high paying job.this is a pain in the butt, this guy thinking that everything money can buy...he should think twice before saying shit like that.
