While Samit Virak is only a one-star general, a picture of him was found wearing 3-star. The suspect smugly said that he took the picture with three stars while he still look young and handsome and he will be a 3-star general one day anyway.
Phnom Penh - General Samit Virak was arrested and sent to jail this afternoon. The Military Police raided the house of General Samit Virak, the deputy chief of the RCAF technical material department, who is suspected of involvement in land deals.

The raid took place at 11AM on 10 Jan 2011 at the general’s house located on 131 Betong Street, Sunway city, Damnak Thom village, Stung Meanchey commune, Meanchey district. The raid was performed under a warrant issued by Mok Seiha, the deputy prosecutor of the military tribunal.


General Sier Sambat, the information commissioner of the military police, General Hong Vinol, the research commissioner of the military police, along with Phnom Penh city and local military police raided General Samit Virak’s house. They found numerous proofs: 5 guns including an AK-47 rifle, 4 cars (2 1998 Landcruisers bearing army license plates; 1 black Lexus and 1 Honda CRV), and numerous documents involving thousands of hectares of land all over the country. Three of the general’s bodyguards were also arrested.

_ you SEE HOW STUPID AND UNDICIPLINE HUN SEN GENERALS ALL STUPID AND LESS THAN ANIMAL LIKE HIMSELF!




Open letter to UN and the world community!
It is about Hun Sen of Cambodia.
You all have ambassador or representative in Cambodia! Most of your ambassadors and representative do not understand Cambodian but you have Khmer translators in your disposal. Please using them to translate what Hun Sen had spoke in this few months!
From his speech, I am a Cambodian cannot force myself to call him PM or event Mr.
Hun Sen not only a dictator but an oppressor criminal by what he personally said in the national public media!
1) “ Whether or not you have parliamentary immunity, the father of parliamentary immunity will still arrest [you]. You can say whatever, or curse January 7, but don’t curse as a national traitor,” Hun Sen said” (SIC!)
What is that mean! The stupid or oppressor threat people of his action above national constitution laws!

2) Once, he said that he (Hun Sen) spy on other legal party of Cambodia and the one who curse him most are his spy!
Either, Hun Sen is so stupid to be count as human or the guy (Hun Sen) using Pol Pot tactic to suppress the freedom of speech for Cambodian, to make Cambodian not to trust each-others, and living in fear!
The spy 9spook) on your own citizen is a criminal act and how can we Cambodian call this low life stupid beast as PM or even Mr.!

Please help us re-apply Paris Accord and reform the Cambodian justice and arm forces!
Please help us get the stupid criminal out of our back!
There a lot more the stupid beast Hun Sen said that make us don’t know to laugh or to cry!
This less than animal is CRAZY!!!!And STUPID!

អាពួកទាំងនេះមិនខុសអំពីពួកអាប្រឆាំងនោះទេ
វាដួចតែគ្នាមិនដែលមានចិត្តចង់ជួយប្រទេសជាតិ
ឲ្យបានជឿនលឿននោះទេពួកចេះតែបំផ្លាញជាតិ
តែប៉ុណ្ណឹងឯង។អាពួកនេះចាប់ពួកវាយកទៅញាត់គុក
ឲ្យអស់ទៅកុំឲ្យនៅជាមួយប្រជាជនទៀត។

Remove his gun(s).
Remove his star(s).
Remove his ball(s).
Remove his money.
Remove his wife.
Remove his land.
Remove his house(s).
Remove his penis.

He will have nothing left and will commit suicide. It's good for the country.

His wife looks like a real bitch.
