An oknha (rich businessman who purchased this honorific title for $100,000) who is the advisor of Heng Samrin, the president of the National Assembly, was arrested by the Banteay Meanchey provincial police on 15 August, at the Poipet international border gate. He is accused of being involved in a drug case. The Cambodia Daily quoted Khieu Sopheak, spokesman of the Ministry of Interior, saying that Oknha Oum Chhay, president of the Chhay Chhay Investment, and president of the Banteay Meanchey chamber of commerce, was arrested on Wednesday afternoon for helping the transportation of raw chemical material to produce methamphetamine drug in Kompong Speu province. Heng Samrin confirmed to The Cambodia Daily that indeed Oum Chhay is one of his advisors. However, Heng Samrin downplayed the arrest, saying that Oum Chhay has only a minor role in the (Kompong Speu) drug-lab. Heng Samrin said that Oum Chhay is only held for questioning and that he is not deeply involved in the case. A major drug lab located in Treng Troyoeung commune, Phnom Sruoch district, Kompong Speu province was raided by the authority last 01 April.

haha haha haha, Sidech Heng Sam Rin who has Doctor degree but cannot understand the word drugs trafficking. If his oknha has transport the drugs, that mean he is a drug trafficker. In Singapore and in Malaysia, this oknha is a death duck. He cannot make any excuse. Heng Sam Rin should now open his eyes on all his oknha who else running this drugs? I believe that all the Oknha in Cambodia have involved in drugs otherwise they cannot pay US$100,000 for this croocked title. Areak Prey

Hello,

Alt.Map.Cambodia has just made public the first images of a large mineral concession kept secret until recently. The concession is between Indochina Resources (formerly known as Battle Mountain Minerals) and the Cambodian and Laotian governments. The surprise: it is in Virachey protected forest.

Heng Samrin is another clown who defends a drug lord. This monkey is one reason why Cambodia is placed at the bottom pool for corruption.

Drug trafficking is just one part of the CPP business empire. Okhna Mong Retthy got nabbed once for trafficking marijuana, but it was the police official who nabbed Mong Retthy landed himself in jail instead, and his boss was executed inside the Ministry of Interior during the 1997 coup.

When the outlaws become the lawmakers, the motto will be "Do as I say, but don't do as I do".

All Oknha in Cambodia are all having to operate drugs business once or more. None of them are good person. If they are of good character, they will not co-operate with Hun sen and all CPP to destroy Cambodia. They are mostly ignorance and have not been to School but have made monies through drugs and have bought their way up to make monies. You can name all of them to see which who has not doing druf trafficking during their lifetime.
