Khmer Intelligence News - 13 December 2007
There is evidence to prove that Cambodian Finance Minister Keat Chhon was a close assistant to Khmer Rouge top leader Pol Pol. For instance, on 30 November 1975, Keat Chhon sent, in the form of a telegram, a report to Pol Pot about "the withdrawal of people from the East to the North". In his report, Keat Chhon mentioned several districts, especially Chhlaung, in Kratie province, which he is a native of. [There is currently a "Keat Chhon University" in Chhlaung]. Keat Chhon signed his telegram by writing only "Chhon". But Pol Pot had only one close assistant whose given name is "Chhon" and who is a native of Chhlaung district in Kratie province.In other telegrams from the same period of time, a Khmer Rouge commander is referred to as "Pauk", but the whole name of the notorious commander is Ke Pauk, who was in charge of the Northern region.

Norodom Ranariddh at odds with Kem Sokha (1)
Human Rights Party (HRP) President Kem Sokha earlier this week asked Beehive Radio Station, which sells airtime to political parties, to stop broadcasting programs from the Norodom Ranariddh Party (NRP) because Prince Ranariddh's supporters had accused the HRP leader of corruption when he headed the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR). Sixteen former CCHR employees, including prominent journalists and lawyers, are also accusing Kem Sokha of stealing their salaries and committing other dishonest acts. They have issued several statements to denounce Kem Sokha's corruption and have filed complaints against him at the Court (see KI, 27 October 2007: "Attempt to cover up corruption scandal"; KI, 27 September 2007: "Hun Sen holds Kem Sokha hostage").There is a leaflet about the HRP, which reads: "He used to steal his employees' salaries; he is now seeking opportunities to steal the whole country; he has formed a shady party to earn his living through corruption under the banner of human rights."See leaflet in Khmer by clicking here.
Six Funcinpec MPs to defect to NRP (2)
By the end of January 2008, at least six Funcinpec National Assembly members (out of 26) will defect to the Norodom Ranariddh Party (NRP), thus showing their allegiance to their historical leader, Prince Norodom Ranariddh who now heads the NRP. Any defector must reasonably wait until 27 January 2008 before changing side. The election law stipulates that National Assembly members can leave the party under the banner of which they were elected, without losing their parliamentary seat, if their defection takes place less than six month before the next elections (the next legislative elections will be held on 27 July 2008).
