Cambodia PM defends media tirade

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Monday defended his outburst to the media during a regional summit last week in Phnom Penh, saying his critics treat him "like a child".
Hun Sen railed against domestic opponents and "stupid" analysts who misread his country's close ties with regional power China at a news conference following a meeting of leaders of the Association for Southeast Asian Nations.
The tirade stunned international media, with a reporter for the Wall Street Journal later writing that Asia's longest-serving premier "seemed to forget" he was speaking as current Asean chair.
"You talk about me like I'm a child," Hun Sen said in a speech broadcast on national radio on Monday, following criticism of his performance, adding that he had vented his anger because he had held his tongue for long enough.
"I exercised maximum patience, waiting for the Asean summit to be over so that I could respond," he said.
"But they say Asean is not a place to criticise others. Oh, so when I became prime minister, they took away my right to talk? When I became the ASEAN chairman, I lost my right to speak out? Excuse me!" he said, with his customary flair for drama.

People should not be surprised about the language of an ingorant, uneducated leader, Hun Sen.
Those kind of stupid languages came out naturally from his mouth. That's why his master Vietnam keeps him in power for a long time because he would do whatever Vietnam told him to. He has no shame to insult Khmer people to please his master Vietnam.
This crazy dog Hun Sen needs to be removed from power in order to save Cambodia from dissolving to become part of Vietnam.
Hun Sen acted worse than a child.
He acted as a “very naughty child.”
Hun Sen is not only a child, act and speak like a child, but he is a stupid Samdach. Stupid man like him should not be a leader and should not be ASEAN chair.
Hun Sen is mad dog in Asia.
People knows your eduction's level as soon as you open your mouth, Mr. Hun Sen!
