ចំណែកឯម្ចាស់រថយន្ត បានអះអាងខ្លួនគាត់ថា ជាឧត្តមសេនីយ៍ទោ នៅកាស៊ីណូ បាវិត តែមិនបានប្រាប់ឈ្មោះទេ
Kandal – A 2-star general pulled his gun and shot a bullet up into the air, he also beat up a deranged man who had to receive several stitches in his head. The general was angry at the deranged man who threw rocks on his car, and the deranged man used a saw to cut ice cubes to try to hack the general at 09:15AM on 10 July 2011. The incident took place at Street No. 118, at the intersection of National Road 1, Ta Hing village, Prek Dach commune, Leuk Dek district, Kandal province.

The car which the deranged man threw rocks on was a gray Toyota Land Cruiser. The vehicle owner claimed that he is a 2-star general at the Bavet Casino, but he did not provide his name. The victim was 43-year-old Uk Sam Ath who lives in the village and commune above with his elderly mother. The deranged man is very poor and he faces very difficult hardship. After his beating by the 2-star general, he had to undergo several stitches on his head. The villagers indicated that Uk Sam Ath became mentally unstable for more than 10 years already.

On the morning of the incident, the 2-star general drove his Land Cruiser along a road when Uk Sam Ath threw a rock that hit one of the car side doors. Some paint was chipped off from the rock throw.


The 2-star general then backed his car, grabbed Uk Sam Ath and beat him several times. Because of pain, Uk Sam Ath, took an axe left top of an ice cube nearby and threw it at the 2-star general, but he missed the general who then took out his gun and shot it up into the air. When Uk Sam Ath saw that, he took a saw used for cutting ice cubes and tried to hack the 2-star general with it, but he only managed to injure the general’s hand. The 2-star general then used the butt of his gun to beat Uk Sam Ath’s head, causing the latter a big gash and bleeding.

Witnesses went to report the incident to the local police authority, they asked that the cops arrest Uk Sam Ath, confiscate the car and report the case to higher authority. However, the local authority refused because Uk Sam Ath is known to be deranged. Both the village chief and the commune chief confirmed that Uk Sam Ath has mental problem for more than 10 years already.

It is time for the CPP to admit that Cambodia is a banana kingdom, because of their way in running the country.

A Khmer high official's son went
to school in California few years
as a dishwasher,he told my wife
that he got a star;my wife didn't
pay any attention.
The restaurant's owner told me
that he didn't go to school;
This stupid guy shared room with
restaurant's owner house.
A dishwasher became a general.

The two stars general,maybe,is
a toilet cleaner.
The prime minister is stupid,
the rest of his officials are
stupid too.
