There were rumours that on the afternoon of 3rd of February, Mr. Chea Sim, Senate President and President of the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP), has tendered his resignation from the CPP, citing ill health.
To quell the rumours, Mr. Khieu Kanharith, spokesman for the government, told reporters that the rumours are untrue and that the three Samdechs (a royal title meaning “Sir” conferred to Chea Sim, Hun Sen and Heng Samrin) are as united as ever.
Mr. Kanharith told Kampuchea Thmey that he heard the rumours as well, but said that the rumours must have been fabricated by the opposition camps. Mr. Kanharith added that he has conveyed the news to Mr.Hun Sen to ask for explanation from Mr. Hun Sen and Mr. Hun Sen responded that the rumours are laughable by adding that they are untrue.
The rumours have been spread by words of mouth that Mr. Chea Sim has tendered his resignation at 5pm on the afternoon of 3rd February due to ill health.
The rumours said that, after Mr. Chea Sim resigned, Mr. Hun Sen took over the presidency of the CPP, Mr. Sar Kheng became Vice-President and Mr. Sok An became Secretary-General of the CPP.
Mr. Hun Sen replied through Mr. Kanharith that these rumours are laughable and that they are untrue story that was probably created by local opposition groups. He added that, in fact, Mr. Chea Sim is healthier and stronger than before.
Mr. Khieu Kanharith added that, before rumours of Mr. Chea Sim’s resignation surfaced, there were rumours that the three Samdechs (Chea Sim, Hun Sen and Heng Samrin) have bitterly verbally clashed about the removals and the reshuffles of the military leaders and about the reforms in other government institutions.
Mr. Kanharith added that he doesn’t need to explain any further about the unity of the three Samdechs as the three Samdechs were seen chatting cordially among themselves when all of them bid farewell to the king when the king left for a medical check-up in Beijing on the 4th of February. Mr. Kanharith added that the cordial conversations among the three Samdechs were signs of a strong unity among them.
Mr. Kanharith said that the three Samdechs are still the top leaders of the Cambodian People’s Party.

They are killing each other for power. The CPP is like a family of tigers as it's children are killing each to take control of the family.
Soon they will fight each other. If Chea Sim's side will not kill Hun Sen. Hun Sen's side will kill Chea Sim.
True, 1:41am. These two, the Cheas and the Huns, will kill each other one day. Hun Sen is very hungry for power. He will kill Chea Sim for power.
I am so happy to hear this news!!!!
