Prime Minister criticized using very strong wordings on Nhim Vannda, the deputy director of the National Committee for Disaster Management (NCDM), for the search of the downed plane in Kampot province last week. During a speech given at the NCDM’s conference in Phnom Peng on Wednesday, Hun Sen criticized Nhim Vannda and RCAF commander Pol Saroeun, that they mismanaged the search and rescue operation. Hun Sen said: “I am telling you the truth, if we all work like Nhim Vannda and Pol Saroeun, we will not be able to find the lost plane. I told Nhim Vannda that he is weak.” Hun Sen, who is also the NCDM director, blasted Nhim Vannda and Pol Saroeun who believed in rumors from the villagers and undertook the search in the forest without a coherent strategy.
