This guy and his friends should just take some reds and relax. It was just another Saturday night on the town. No harm, no foul.

Who among us have not got drunk and crashed a vehicle or two?

I am reminded of a quotation from the late great Dr. Hunter Thompson:

Reading the front page made me feel a lot better. Against that heinous background, my crimes were pale and meaningless. I was a relatively respectable citizen — a multiple felon, perhaps, but certainly not dangerous. And when the Great Scorer came to write against my name, that would surely make a difference.

Or would it?

OMG, they've unleashed the Barbara Streisand effect. TOF have just added Kevin Weng and Huawei to their title to bump up the volume.
Thus starting a forum competition on how much dosh it will take for each forum to take down the incriminating threads. The asking price has just doubled.

Yup. This was heading down the ranks and a couple more days it would have been forgotten about.

When will people learn if they just stay quiet things like this are forgotten easily, try and get it removed and it will stay in the public eye much longer.

We will be glad to start negotiations around the $100,000.

It would be great if we could just suggest an NGO they could direct their donation to... I'm starting to understand how the Clinton Foundation works...

Someone on the other forum reports that Khmer Times had a story about this incident on their website but now it's gone. Did anyone see that story? Did it mention Kevin Weng or Huawei by name or was it just a generic story about a drunk driver in a BMWi8?

I wonder how much Kevin Weng or Huawei offered the Khmer Times, if anything, to have their story about Kevin Weng's drunk driving removed from the website.

I didn't see it on Khmer Times, but if it was there, I would imagine it's still in some Google cache, but it doesn't seem to be found.

If they did take it down, it would be interesting to know how much they got offered and if they took it or not.

Huawei Boss Crashes; News Stories Disappear

by Phan Soumy | November 29, 2016

Kevin Weng, a senior officer at Chinese telecoms giant Huawei, took out three tuk-tuks and a motorbike in an early morning crash last week in Phnom Penh, according to police, and photographs posted online show the front-right side of his BMW i8 sports car smashed and tuk-tuks destroyed......

....Daniel Mackevili, who runs Cambodia Expats Online (CEO), said after seeing the story show up on various Khmer news sites and deciding that Mr. Weng’s identity checked out, the forum posted an article online along with a Facebook post.

“Then on Nov 25 (Friday), 2 days after we published the article about Mr Weng, we get a message from Ratha Chev (Facebook account looks real and says they are the Account Manager at Marketing Solutions Asia Ltd) on our CEO Facebook page telling us, ‘hi i would like to ask for your contact for advertisement ?’” Mr. Mackevili said in an email.

Upon sending his number, Mr. Mackevili said he received a telephone call from what sounded like a Cambodian man requesting that he remove the article, arguing that it was a violation of Mr. Weng’s privacy, and offering $100 if he complied.

“I wanted to debate with him further to see how much they were willing to offer,” he said. “But I felt a bit hesitant to appear like I was seriously considering taking money to delete something, which we would NEVER do.”

stand your ground CEO, this isnt about privacy anymore, this is now harassment of independence of speech, i doubt he will spend that much money to take an injunction against CEO in court, anyway where is CEO hosted?

Haha, ^nice find! Glad to see this story getting so much attention, and funny that none of the sites that removed it admit to getting any compensation.

these assholes need to be taught a lesson that not everybody can be bought using money,

i prefer diamonds n supermodels
