One hundred army officers had been promoted to the ranks of generals in a ceremony in army headquarters in Phnom Penh and in Preah Vihear province on Friday 8th April.

The Phnom Penh's promotion ceremony was held at the Defence Ministry and was presided over by Gen. Pol Saroeun, Commander-in-Chief of Royal Cambodian Armed Forces, at 3 p.m on Friday when 7 officers were promoted to lieutenant generals (3-star generals), 11 officers were promoted to major generals (2-star generals) and 47 officers were promoted to brigadier generals (1-star generals).

Another promotion ceremony, presided over by Deputy Commander-in-Chief Gen. Kun Kim, was held at an army headquarter in Preah Vihear for frontline army officers. According to military sources, Maj-Gen. Hun Manet, the eldest son of Prime Minister Hun Sen, had also been promoted to a lieutenant general, but he was absent from the ceremony to receive his promotions. In the past few years, Gen. Hun Manet had enjoyed rapid rise through the army ranks, drawing rave criticism of nepotism by his father, Prime Minister Hun Sen. His last promotion was in January when he was promoted by his father to a major general.

Hun sen is trying to consolidate his powers because he is paranoia and doesn't trust anyone beside his son, so he must keep appointing his cronies and promoting his son until he gets millions of stars.

Hello All,

How many Generals do Cambodia needs? A country as small as Cambodia they don't need 5000 Generals, they only need a few General, trusted General, Skills General that know how to fight a war with Thai.

How many soldiers in Cambodia?.....100,000 soldiers and they have well over 3000-5000 Generals. Fo what?
