Muong Khim (L) and Singer Meng Keo Pich Chenda (R) during happier daysMonday, June 07, 2010
Op-Ed by Khmer Borann
Phnom Penh
Following the appearance of Muong Khim voice in the argument with his former wife Meng Keo Pich Chenda, I would like to ask the readers of KI Media who is Muong Khim? I think everybody will simply answer that Muong Khim is the police general who had recently divorced his wife, the famous singer Meng Keo Pich Chenda. However, the real Muong Khim is a disable man who is living in O’Smach town near Cambodia-Thai border.
The fake Muong Khim who is now the CPP police general was the former medical student. He married to a woman in the town of Sisophon of Banteay Meanchey province. Everybody in the town of Sisophon knows the former wife of the fake Muong Khim very well because she runs a famous noodle shop in the town. The former wife of the fake Muong Khim is now the wife of Mr. Kimsuor Phirith, SRP Member of Parliament for Kampong Cham.
After UN-run democratic election in Cambodia in 1993, Funcinpec, one of the resistance movements fighting the Vietnamese occupation in Cambodia, has formed the coalition government with the CPP that lost election. According to Paris Agreement and based on the result of the election, Funcinpec had the right to appoint its people for the post of government officials. The quota for Funcinpec for the post in the government had led the way for rampant corruption. The name of Mr. Muong Khim, who was a fighter for Funcinpec at the Cambodia-Thai border, was sent to Phnom Penh without his knowledge. The high-ranking officials of Funcinpec in Phnom Penh have sold hundreds of position for money using the name of Funcinpec fighters, including the name of Mr. Muong Khim.
The real Muong Khim is now living O’Smach town and is very poor because of his disability from the fighting for Funcinpec during the 1980s. The real Muong Khim latter on knew that his name was sold by high-ranking official of Funcinpec and he could do nothing but feeling frustrated.
It is noticed that the persons who bought the position in the government through Funcinpec, have mostly defected to the CPP. The fake Muong Khim has risen to a high-ranking position within the police through Funcinpec and now has jumped the ship to the CPP.
