OPPOSITION Sam Rainsy Party lawmaker Ho Vann told the Post on Wednesday that he had not denigrated the quality of postgraduate degrees recently awarded by a Vietnamese institute to more than 20 high-ranking RCAF officials, calling a news report that he had done so "a misunderstanding".
He said he supported soldiers' desire to further their education, adding that he also believed they should combine their "scientific knowledge" with moral leadership.
"I did not say that those degrees are worthless," he said. "I just said that being a leader requires having a good moral education also."
Some army officers threatened to take legal measures against Ho Van if he did not apologise for what they called his insulting comments against the army.

YES KBAL YOUN KLOUN KHMER PHD DO WHAT YOU WANT.
MPs have parliamentary immunity, so the army cannot do anything by force against them. In Western democracy, if an MP says anything inside the parliamentary chambers, even if it is defamatory, no one can sue them either because they got parliamentary immunity. In Cambodia, the laws of the jungle rule, so the powerful can do whatever they wanted.
