Original report from Phnom Penh
29 August 2007
Top officials of the Norodom Ranariddh Party Wednesday denied claims by a Funcinpec officer they had circulated rumors of Gen. Nhiek Bun Chhay's involvement in a huge drug production ring.
Nhiek Bun Chhay's involvement in a huge drug production ring. Nhiek Bun Chhay, Funcinpec's secretary-general, has said he is the victim of a smear campaign, following the recent arrest of his former aid on drugs charges.
The aid, Chea Long, was arrested this month on charges stemming from a raid on a drug "super lab" in April, which yielded a seizure of nearly 5 tons of drug-making material.
Since Chea Long's arrest, his link as a former adviser has been circulated in NRP-friendly media, Nhiek Bun Chhay said this week, prompting the latest row between the fractured royalists.
NRP spokesman Muth Chantha called Nhiek Bun Chhay's allegations groundless.

Regardless of what is true or not true with Nhek Bun Chhay, but his advisor Chea Chong was found to be a criminal of drug trafficking, therefore, Nhek Bun Chhay, should be stripped out from all position and be free from politic for good.
Where on earth, an offcial with an advisor had involved with drugs, and he is allowed to be in politic?
The same problem with Heng Samrin. He needs also to be free from politic and go back to his home village.
