Nhiek Bun Chhay, vice-prime minister and Funcinpec secretary-general, claimed that the he is currently preparing lawsuits – to be sent to the Phnom Penh municipal court in the near future – against two newspapers for defaming him. He accused the two newspapers of publishing false information which affected his honor.
The two Khmer-language daily newspapers he plant to sue are: Samleng Yuvachon Khmer (Voice of Khmer Youth), and Khmer Amatak (Eternal Khmer).
Nhiek Bun Chhay told RFA on Wednesday that he is currently preparing the complaints so that his lawyer can hand them over to the Phnom Penh municipal court shortly.
Nhiek Bun Chhay said: “I have prepared these complaints, and maybe tomorrow or so, I will hand in the complaints because these NRP-supporting newspapers publish false information. Samleng Yuvachon and Khmer Amatak publish today information which affected me.”
He clarified that he has the full freedom to travel outside of the country as normal, and that there is no (travel) restriction (imposed on him) by the authority as a number of newspapers reported recently: “This information is false, I went to Thailand and I just came back. In a day or two, I will leave (to overseas) again.”
Regarding the plan to sue the 2 newspapers, Liev Sovanna, a defense lawyer involved in the lawsuit brought up by Prince Ranariddh, said that he did not receive the request from Nhiek Bun Chhay yet, but that he will handle these lawsuits as soon as Nhiek Bun Chhay will ask him to. He indicated that in his position as a lawyer, he has no political preference: “I did not yet receive Nhiek Bun Chhay’s request, maybe, he didn’t request yet.”
Reacting to Nhiek Bun Chhay’s lawsuits plan, Keo Sothea, the editor of the Samleng Yuvachon Khmer said: “If it involves an actual mistake, I will issue a correction or clarification.”
Bun Tha, editor of Khmer Amatak, reacted by saying: “We already know about the drug case, when (the story) is published, he must send a written clarification letter, not just for newspapers, but for the general public. In Cambodia, the drug issue is very stinky, it is a very bad issue.”
On 01 April 2007, a joint police force raided and confiscated about 6 tons of raw material used in drug production, in Treng Troyeung commune, Phnom Sruoch district, Kompong Speu province, and also in Phnom Penh, and the authority arrested 18 people during the raid: 14 Cambodian citizens and 4 foreigners.
In August, the authority arrested 2 important suspects: Oum Chhay who was the advisot of the National Assembly President Heng Samrin, but he committed suicide by jumping down a building on 21 August; and Chea Chung, the owner of the land and the farm where the raw drug material was stored. Chea Chung is known as the former advisor of Nhiek Bun Chhay.

I think if Nhek Bun Chhay try to do that it will not be any good for Nhek Bun Chhay because Now Nhek Bun Chhay is free from running around and Hun sen is still needing him. If he try to sue medias, these medias will try to dig more dirts from him to the public and more bad news will come out and his time as Funcipec leadership wil be finished. He has he has a leaders of an army of 10,000 men so a problem of one man is the problem of that man. It is true if that problem is nothing about drugs. If one of his men involved with drug and he kept him free, he has to take full responsibility too. No way that he know nothing if one of his men involve with that kind of scale in drug dealing. That is about his military man. But this not his man. This Chea Chong is his advisor, therefore he must have known about this actvities without doubt.
The first thing the criminal reacts to the allegation is denial, if you are a public officials figure involving with crimes; you have to use law to shut people up. In Nhek Bun Chhay case, it works perfectly because the juristic system is corrupt and the rule of law is applied only to the poor and the weak, no suitable investigation is needed.
AH NHEK BUN CHHAY IS JUST AH STUPID PERSON. HE IS SERVING THE TRICKS OF AH HUN SEN AND YOUNS
