PHNOM PENH, Jan. 14, 2012 (Xinhua) -- Hun Manit, the second eldest son of Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen, was promoted from the military rank of lieutenant colonel to colonel and appointed as the deputy chief of the Defense Ministry's intelligence department on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Gen. Chea Dara, deputy commander-in-chief of Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF) in charge of Preah Vihear Direction, was appointed as the chief of the Defense Ministry's intelligence department replacing the recent deceased Gen. Mol Roeup.
There were also the appointments of Maj. Gen. Siek Socheat, deputy commander of the front-battle region 3, as the chief of the RCAF's border affairs office instead of Maj. Gen. Sok Pheap, who took a new position as the undersecretary of state of the Defense Ministry.
Speaking during the appointment ceremony at the Headquarters of the RCAF, Gen. Pol Saroeun, the RCAF's commander-in-chief, said that the appointments were made based on their merits and expertise in commanding military.
"The two institutions -- the military intelligence department and the border affairs office -- have achieved a lot of good results, especially relevant to the past military confrontation along the border line," he said.
Hun Manit, 30, was the second eldest son of Prime Minister Hun Sen. His first eldest son Hun Manet, 34, currently holds the military rank of a Major General and is the deputy commander of the Headquarter of Infantry, deputy commander of Prime Minister Hun Sen's Bodyguard Unit and the head of the Anti-Terrorism Unit.

I think Hun Sen ordered the doctor to kill Mol Roeup so he can appoint his son to replace Mol Roeup.
Very misleading title! The title and its very own article contradict each other. In the article, it clear says Chea Dara replaced Mol Roeup, not Hun Sen's son, yet the headline says something else.
Khmerization, have some dignity and integrity (if you have one) for yourself and go easy with the information manipulation.
Yes, very misleading indeed. If you really want to be taken seriously you need to show some professionalism in your reporting of Cambodian contemporary history.
Dear reader,
I have corrected the title. I apologise for the unintentional mistake which was caused by sleepy and late night posting due to tiredness and fatigue.
Another thing I wanted to say is that I appreciate constructive criticism and I try not to censor readers' comments, however I will never tolerate offensive language and vulgarism. I have repeatedly warned that any offensive comments containing vulgarism and profanities will be deleted. For those who want their voices heard and not censored must avoid using offensive language and profanities. Thanks for your understanding.
Manet,Manit,Many,Mana and Manowk,the prolific descendents of Mrs.Hun Rowk and Mr.Bun Th-ngoc Th-ngoc, will all be the Governors of Khmer Srok or even higher!!
16 January 2012 8:59 PM,I give you a nine and a half. You lost one half point for your inconsistency. You should put Sre Khmok instead of Khmer Srok for a perfect rhyme.
