You (c1) must be joking. Hun does it in a different way now. Million os $ dollars from revenue such as gas,banking,land-grabbing....is channeled into his Bank account.Logging is old fashion for Hun Sen.
You get it.

Most illegal logging in Cambodia are committed by powerful people like army generals and ministers etc. Hun sen advisors like Om Yintieng, Gen. Hing Bunheang and Hun Sen's cousin, Dy Choch, have been named by Global Witness as offenders. Hun Sen must be one of the illegal loggers as well, that's why he never cracked down on illegal logging.
