Ka-set
Already disparaged and criticised because it hosts more than 360 Ministers, secretaries of state and under-secretaries of state altogether, the Cambodian government will soon welcome ten new members. On Thursday March 12th, during a brief extraordinary session held at the National Assembly in the presence of rime Minister Hun Sen, 86 out of 87 MPs (one abstention) placed their trust in the newcomers. Among them, Ke Kim Yan, who was removed as Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF) commander in chief by a Royal Decree on January 22nd after Hun Sen suggested the proposition, is now appointed “deputy prime Minister in charge of combating drugs”. The high-ranking official is now back in favour and becomes, as announced a week before, the tenth prime Minister of this excessive government. The session was ignored by the two opposition political formations, the Human Rights Party and the one led by Sam Rainsy, who had his parliamentary immunity restored a few days before the vote.

Un bataillons de gouvernement.
n'est jamais rencontré dans le monde.
I'm sick of these moon generals craps! properly didn't paid a dimes for electricity bills...
what, people never heard of shuffling of power or position in gov't? what planet are they from?
These uneducated or less education love to be called His Excellency, and the Vietnamese knew too well that's why the Vietnamese give them high ranking jobs no salary. The money will be from corruption or narcotic dealers.
It is a way to control them. like saying to my dog "SIT. Here is a bone. Good boy good."
Cambodia moon generals! Sorry star ran out...
Worthless generals that's all!
