Entertainment from the Kew-Kew! Kew-Kew!

 

PRQU means (shoddy)

business!

This early pleasant Phnom Penh afternoon, we received this Press Release from the Press and Quick Reaction Unit (who thinks of these names????!!!!!), followed 45 minutes later by another email ordering us with stern command to discard the first Press Release with shorter one.  Three hours later, a third version, accompanied with Khmer.  Please enjoy the comedy, courtesy of the Kew-Kew! Kew-Kew!  All black ink in this post, including formatting, are all theirs, Kew-Kew! Kew-Kew!

PRESS STATEMENT

The Office of the Council of Ministers wishes to provide information regarding the appointment of a new international Co-Investigating Judge at the ECCC, in view of a number of media reports implying that Royal Government of Cambodia has been obstructing or delaying this process.

In fact between October and December 2011 there were a whole series of written and oral communications between the United Nations and the Cambodian government on this matter, including technical discussions between legal teams on both sides.

The matter is now in the hands of the Supreme Council of the Magistracy (SCM), which is now independently [sic!] carrying its normal procedures and legal considerations before a decision would be made.

telephone conversations and two personal meeting as detailed below.

suggesting prudent consideration in the light of “certain activities by Mr Laurent Kasper-Ansermet that have been

brought to public attention” [ooohh, we're supposed to be intriqued by this innuendo of possible wrong-doing justifying the Kew-Kew's obstruction, the planting of doubt into Judge Kasper-Ansermet's background]

3rd's the charm

Ooooppps, in their knee-jerk reactions, the Kew-Kew! Kew-Kew released unprofessional formatted, unprocessed information for public consumption, a late realization that the information only confirms what the public only knows already. OBSTRUCTION AND DELAYS OF PROCESS.

Let's cull up the first attempt again, which they wanted us not to read, it is original format:

 

PRQU, did you list a simple thank you response as one letter???? Are you really this desperate to make it seem like some action is being done by this Kew-Kew???  Yes, exactly, these types of non-action!!!!!
