Mu Sochua has accused the prime minister of calling her “cheung klang,” which means “strong legs,” in Khmer and is considered an insult. Mu Sochua promptly sued him for defamation in a Phnom Penh municipal court, demanding 500 Cambodian rials, or roughly 12 cents in damages along with an apology. Instead of apologizing, Hun Sen, who likes to go by the rather ungainly honorific “Samdach Akkak Moha Sena Padey Dekjo” promptly countersued.
Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Sen has launched a scathing verbal attack on the Thai government, saying the current administration’s days are numbered. He’s also labelled Thailand’s Foreign Minister the “chief of terrorists” for orchestrating the collapse of the previous government, and says he’s waiting for a new administration to take power before restoring diplomatic relations.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Sunday afternoon announced that Cambodia has planed to withdraw part of its troops from the border areas with Thailand.
Hun Sen, the Cambodian prime minister, seems to enjoy baiting his neighbours. His recent decision to make Thaksin Shinawatra, Thailand’s fugitive former prime minister and de facto opposition leader, an adviser to his government has caused a spat that regularly sounds more playground squabble than sophisticated diplomacy.
“Millions of Thai people, the red shirts, support Thaksin [Shinawatra, ex-PM]. Why, as a friend, can’t I support Thaksin? Without the 2006 coup these things would not have happened,” said Hun Sen shortly after arriving in Cha-am for the annual Asean Summit.
Cambodia and Thailand traded barbs at an Asian summit Friday after Cambodia’s prime minister offered fugitive former Thai leader Thaksin Shinawatra a safe haven and job as an adviser.
Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Sen did not offer fugitive ex-Thai PM Thaksin Shinawatra a home in Cambodia, Cambodia’s spokesman Khieu Kanharith.
Following a meeting with Chavalit, Cambodian Premier Hun Sen told reporters how his wife cried at the mention of Thaksin Shinawatra’s fate and how a plan to give Thaksin a home “that deserves his honour” was discussed.
