PHNOM PENH, 8 June 2012 (Cambodia Herald) - A senior government official on Friday
dismissed comments critical of Prime Minister Hun Sen by Human Rights
Watch executive director Brad Adams.
Keo Remy (pictured), chairman of the Press and Quick Reaction Unit at the Office of the Council of Ministers, said Cambodia was "completely different" from countries like Libya and Egypt.
Speaking at a news conference, he noted that Cambodians were free to elect their leaders and that media in Cambodia were free to publish without being censored in advance.
Moreover, he added, some opposition websites curse the government with unacceptable language.
"The Cambodian government never controls or deters freedom of expression," he said.
Keo Remy, who is also a secretary of state, noted that Cambodia's parliamentary system had no limits on the terms of leaders, unlike presidential systems in some countries.

That what you called "a strong is better than a weak" you're absolutely right little frog in a well, Cpp is strong to those khmers whose were poor,but Cpp were weak to Yuon Hanoi,because Hanoi is stronger also Cpp-Husen's citizens father that Hunsen admitted to be scared off.
You said " Khmer we go up step by step we can't jump to the top" Your strongman Hunsen don't accept the lost in 1997, Husen's jumped to the top by ousted/coup de'feat his opponent by violently killed his way to get top (pm)position.Is that what you called step by step in a strongman way!!!!!
Little frog gets out your well goes to explore an ocean you will be amazed to see how big the ocean is....The possibility is endless okay!...Think out of your box...
Kmenh watt
this keo remy is the biggest ass kisser around. when he lived in arizona, he was the biggest royalist because his father-in-law was a high ranking FUNCIPEC. now that his dad lost power, he switched to CPP.IT'S ALL ABOUT POWER TO HIM.
isn't keo ramy used to be dog of ranarith?
Nop, He acually was a prostitute of Ranariddh!! He was MP for Funcinpec from 1998 to 2003, MP for SRP from 2003 to 2007 then Hun Sen told him to help Kem Sokha form HRP and won Zero seat with Kem Sokha in 2008, so he jumped ship to CPP in order to earn some money for the two pussies. He may switch to VN side before Hun Sen do because he has enough experience as a political prostitute boy. Noone can match him in this area! Lol
