On 24 December, prime minister Hun Sen said that the spirit of the Vihear Suor pagoda helped him escape a rocket attack in 1998 in Siem Reap province. Hun Sen declared that he escaped the rocket attack because of the (protection) from the spirit of the Vihear Suor pagoda, and spirits inhabiting other places, such as the black Buddha spirit in Siem reap province who protected him. Hun Sen added that one day prior to his murder attempt, he went to seek fortune at the black Buddha pagoda in Siem Reap province. The fortune he picked foretold about a man who was buried alive, but he did not die, and he became the prime minister until today. Hun Sen said: “If, me, Hun Sen and my wife have happiness, then all of us, Cambodians, will all have happiness.” The Vihear Suor spirit who protected Hun Sen resides in the Preah Vihear Suor pagoda, located in Ksach Kandal district, Kandal province. However, Eng Chhay Eang, SRP Secretary-general, said that the rocket missed its target because it was a drama engineered by government officials to serve as a political theater in 1998.
