Wikileaks: Kith Meng or Mr. Rough Stuff, a young and ruthless gangster [-Kith Meng: The Mekong Gangster?]

The Mekong Gangster?

Kith Meng: "Mr. Rough Stuff"
----------------------------
¶2. (SBU) A dual Cambodian-Australian citizen with a BA from
Australian National University, Kith Meng was born on
September 1, 1968. He is described as a relatively young and
ruthless gangster by Mekong Bank Chairman Michael Stephen
(PROTECT). Another well-connected business man in the
Cambodian community claims that Kith Meng is notorious for
using his bodyguards to coerce others into brokering deals.
As the chairman and CEO of Royal Group of Companies (RGC),
his resume runs the gamut of many different businesses. He
is concurrently the chairman of mobile phone company Cam GSM
Co., Cambodia Television Network (CTN), Cambo Six European
soccer betting Co., and CamLot Lottery Co. He has also
become an exclusive distributor of Canon products. Kith Meng
owns the Northbridge International School and the Cambodiana
Hotel. One of the most widely recognized achievements of the
Royal Group is its new joint venture with Australian-based
ANZ bank, in which both companies established ANZ Royal Bank
in 2005. The Royal Group owns 45% of the new bank. Kith
Meng also recently launched a new Cambodian insurance
company, Infinity General Insurance, through a joint venture
with Kuala Lumpur-based Infinity Financial Solutions.

¶3. (SBU) Recently, Kith Meng was elected President of the
Cambodian Chamber of Commerce. He also serves as an advisor
to Prime Minister Hun Sen and serves on the board of the
Cambodian Red Cross, whose President is Hun Sen's wife, Bun
Rany. Politically, Kith Meng has good relations with the
Cambodian People's Party, FUNCINPEC, and the Sam Rainsy
Party. He claims credit for negotiating the three-way deal
among the parties to engineer Sam Rainsy's return to Cambodia
in early 2006. Several sources believe that the CPP has
tried to strengthen its relationship with Kith Meng because
it wants CTN's ability to broadcast to a large number of
Cambodians living abroad. Kith Meng speaks, reads, and
writes both Khmer and English.

He has also stolen wife from Hok Lundy son to become Hun Sen'son in law. To keep Hok Lundy son happy, Hun sen married his daughter divorced from Moeung Samphan'son to hok Lundy 'son. So their successfull businesses are from stealing and robbing from powerless through Hun sen association.
If SRP is contueing to associated with this gangster, this party will loose all the respect and supports.

Kith Meng bought his BA degree from an online school. He and his brother Kith Theng are thugs in Austrialia. They both got their fortune from killing their older brother. This is a know fact. That's why both of them can get along well with Hun Sen because they are share a common values and philosophy - steal and kill.

Khmericans = Shit the scum of American society, They can't even help Khmer Nation where they were born and how can they help American society! What’s a shameful on khmericans.

Khmericans is the most shameful community in America -> reason why they are just an opportunities people who are not afraid in sell out their Khmer Nation as well as Cambodia and How can American will put trust in these Khmericans in defence democracy and America.

Very shameful Khmericans! over 225 000 but only 100 Khmericans were turn up for Cambodia and Cambodian people justice.
The scum and the most shit cheap community in America is Khmerican. Why? Because over 225 000 Khmericans but only 100 Khmericans were turn up for protest against injustice in Cambodia. 100 Khmericans = less than 0.045% of total Khmericans population in the USA.

If these people who called themself Khmericans can't even stand to protest the injustice in their motherland called Cambodia. How can American people trust these Khmericans in protect America Nation. What’s a joke!
Shame on Khmericans! American people won't trust Khmericans in saying Khmericans will defend America because Khmericans can't even stand to fight the injustice issues in Cambodia. Khmericans in fact are opportunities and selfish community in America. Khmericans are so cheap as they demonstrate last protest 100 Khmericans were turn up out of over 225 000 total Khmericans. Khmericans are scum living beneath AMERICA SOCIETY.

Khmericans have no honour in say they will defence America because Khmericans can't even defend their previous country.

Shame! Shame! On Khmericans, over 225 000. You know you are nothing but scum in American Society.

Pi Anh,

You're just a jealous and pitiful person who feels a need to blame other people because you can't do anything yourself. Just because there are outside communities, it doesn't mean they don't try to help anyone. Shame on you to talk like that! No one likes sour grapes like you. Blaming others just because they are born outside of their ancestors' homeland. It's nothing to place blame others for. Look at yourself first tov!
