This simply is a "RUMOUR"!!!
It is NOT hard to determine that it is a rumour by simply google search for Cambodia related news (especially news regarding the 45th ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting).
The reason I have chose to frequent Khmerization rather than KI-Media is that Khmerization used to be a one-stop blog for all Cambodia related news/articles.
Lately, however, I have been noticing an increased amount of articles that serves NO value for Cambodians at all, except for channeling the extreme anti govt/CPP propaganda.
I am NOT defending the govt/CPP from critisms, but I am calling for contructive critisms where one would substantiate their arguments with facts and/or well researched points.
As an average Cambodian living outside of Cambodia, I would call on Khmerization to maintain your standard by relaying Cambodia related news articles but NOT propaganda.

5:55 PM, in no way did I say that the news is true or have I
expressed my personal opinions in the article. I simply said it is
"unconfirmed". The comment in Khmer were written by the original poster
which I am obliged to publish in full because of courtesy reason.

To Khmerization,
I, the commentor (9 July 2012 5:55 PM), would like to clarify one point.
I do value your work, and appreciates your efforts you’ve put into this blog despite your other work and lifestyle commitments; and I do hope that this good work of yours will continue.
I, in NO way was criticizing Khmerization for the profane and/or anti-CPP comments left by the “readers”. However, I do question your judgment in regards to what articles you should relays on your blog. Sure you can argue that you DID state that the article in question is “unconfirmed”, but with a few simple clicks of the mouse you can conclude that the article was a “rumour”, hence is there any value in relaying it?
To the commenter that spams this blogs with your extreme and profane language,
Perhaps KI-Media is a better alternative for you; there you would find lots more ppl who share your love of name-callings and profanities. Just because we don’t share your extreme views, it does NOT mean that we’re supporting nor defending the CPP or the government.
From your own comments, I can conclude that YOU ARE NO DIFFERENT to the CPPs and/or a dictator because in your extreme view, ppl must either agree with your extremism or they’re against you.

9:18 AM, I understood your criticism very clearly. I did not
blame the readers' profanities for your criticism. What I meant was, if
you disagree with any articles or simply disagree with me, you can
present your counter-argument or point out the facts.
I still stand by my comment that the news was "unconfirmed". Unconfirmed has the same meaning as "rumour". Many reputable news outlets published many "unconfirmed" reports. Some are untrue, but some turned out to be true.
The fact that the Cambodian government or the Foreign Ministry did not come out to deny this "unconfirmed" report, and it takes a reader to do the denial for them, suggests that they simply do not care. Everyone who frequent Ki-Media and Khmerization knows that these two blogs have been closely monitored by the Cambodian government. Information Minister Khieu Kanharith had admitted to visiting Ki-Media several times a day. Foreign Minister Hor Namhong, his son Hor Nambora and his lawyer, David Meas, have threatened to sue Khmerization once before, so they know everything that has been said and reported in these two blogs. The fact that they did not come out to deny the report means that there was some truth in it or they simply do not give a damn about the report.
I wish to make things very clear here. I created this blog with the following three goals:
1. I wanted to express my personal opinions freely without anyone censoring me.
2. I wanted to counter the biased and one-sided news presented by the CPP-controlled and affiliated media outlets in Cambodia.
3. I simply wanted to share information with fellow Khmers who are hungry for news from Cambodia.
I must admit that I am not being 100% objective with my opinions and reports. But readers must bear in mind that this is a personal blog and not a for-profit news organisation. This reality had given me the discretion and the freedom to fire personal opinions recklessly without regard for professionalism. However, I am not totally one-sided either. I have, on many occasions, written many rave reviews of the opposition's shortcomings and strongly attacked their internal wrangling, but I have never received one iota of criticism or personal attacks from them. However, every time I criticised the ruling CPP or even presented a suggestion they simply don't like, I got abused and received personal attacks from their supporters.
Like everyone else, I am a busy man. With two jobs, and sometimes three, plus trying to complete a post-graduate course at the same time, I am very exhausted already when I got home, but I try to update my blog because I wanted to share information with my fellow Khmers. I have considered giving it up and giving this blog to someone before, but the person whom I wanted to give this blog to refused simply because he said he cannot maintain the blog to the same standard as I've been doing.
I am really drained and exhausted, but it is because of the encouragement and supports that I've received from readers that keep me going.
Thank you for your understanding and sorry for this long whinging.
