Minister Keat Chhon claps during the ceremony to start trading at the
Cambodia Securities Exchange in Phnom Penh.
The current finance minister, Keat Chhon, was a member of the Khmer
Rouge’s foreign affairs department, a witness told the UN-backed
tribunal Monday.
Salot Ban [alias Hong], the nephew of Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot, said Keat Chhon was a subordinate of Ieng Sary, the former foreign affairs minister of the regime, who is currently on trial for atrocity crimes.
Keat Chhon is among six senior government officials who have refused to appear before the tribunal.
Critics say this is evidence of governmental interference in the court’s affairs, but government officials say the appearance of top officials at trial would bias the court.
Salot Ban told court prosecutors Monday that Keat Chhon was a member of foreign delegations alongside other subordinates of Ieng Sary, though he could not recall exact dates.

All of them who killed Khmer were Chinese and Vietnamese blood such as Keat Chhun, Pol Pot, Eang Sary, Noun Chea, Hun Sen, Bunrany, Duch, Nor 5 Hong etc. In Australia we saw Khmer’s murderers who have Chinese blood (Kon Kat Chen) still walk free and own big business, when was asked by Australian reporters “why you kill people?” they said “there were no reason just kill Khmer that it”. These murderers took victim’s valuable such gold, diamond and now they have and own businesses.
Khmer is very peaceful race and never kill anybody, nowadays we can see a lot of Chinese and Vietnamese in Cambodia who hold government and business position are ethnic Chinese and Vietnamese. It is very sad for our big eyes and smiling face of Khmer who had/has suffered from mistreatment in our home land.

However, during the Khmer Rouges Trial at ECCC, Noun Chea has told the truth about really killers who are Vietnamese secret agents and Khmer Vietminh, and also, he told the truth about the Vietnamese ill-intentions and aggression to swallow Cambodian. Yes, he admitted that he had made the mistakes during the Khmer Rouges Regimes. Khiev Samphan and Ieng Sary told the truth as well. We support Sot Treong (Currier), Noun Chea, Ieng Sary and Khiev Samphan for what they have done to teach young Khmer generation and children in the history. Their times have been reduced or no prison time for them if they tell the truth and share the facts about Killing Fields caused by Communist Masters in Hanoi, Vietnam.
None of Khmer Vietminh Rouges (Hun Sen, Heng Samrin, Chea Sim and so on) and Vietminh Rouges (Hor Nam Homg, Kiet Chhon, etc) plus secret Vietnamese agents and Angkar Leu/Cap Tren from Hanoi are still hiding, lying and occupying Cambodia today.
Khmer Yeurng.
Wow!...how do we get rid of these yuon secret agents...?
This guy looks ugly as vampires sucks khmers bloods...but HunSen more ugliest in the picture!..To get rid of yuons agents we must do back ground check to know who is running for office.
