Prime minister Hun Sen’s speech given at the Royal University in Phnom Penh on Wednesday, was interrupted by loud siren sound, forcing him to take a pause. “Bodyguards, please check out what the sirens were for,” The Cambodia Daily quoted Hun Sen as saying over the loudspeakers. Hun Sen then complained about the use of sirens by too many high-ranking officials, the majority of whom are in his government. It turned out that the siren sounds came from two sources: (1) the car which took Nuon Chea to Calmette Hospital for his health checkup, and (2) the car accompanying a bank armored truck. Upon finding the sources of the sound, Hun Sen declared that the use of siren in Nuon Chea’s case was justified.
