Government Issues Final ‘Samdech’ Warning
BY KHUON NARIM AND GEORGE WRIGHT | JULY 8, 2016 | អានជាភាសាខ្មែរ
The Ministry of Information gave a final warning to media outlets on Thursday, ordering that they refer to Prime Minister HE and select officials with their honorific “Samdech” or face legal action, while a ministry official said insubordination could lead to the termination of licenses.
Media outlets were first ordered in December to start using the honorific. In May, the ministry set a June deadline for newspapers and broadcasters registered in Cambodia to start referring to Mr. HE and top CPP officials as “Samdech,” a royally bestowed honorific that translates roughly as “the greatest.”

PM Nixes ‘Samdech’ Order Amid Defiance
BY KUCH NAREN | JULY 9, 2016
Less than 24 hours after the Information Ministry issued a final warning to media organizations that have refused to refer to Prime Minister HE and select officials as “Samdech,” the premier announced on Friday that he had overruled the directive.
Journalists were first ordered to refer to Mr. HE by the royally bestowed honorific—which translates roughly as “The Greatest”—in December. A follow-up directive instructing media organizations to begin using the title by July 1 went mostly unheeded, and the ministry issued a final warning on Thursday, with an official adding that insubordinate outlets could see their licenses revoked.
But amid heavy online criticism, Mr. HE took to Facebook on Friday to announce that the title was not necessary after all.

Re: Government Issues Final ‘Samdech’ Warning
Cambodia PM HE in honorary title U-turn
The Cambodian Prime Minister HE has shelved the requirement for media to refer to him as "Lord Prime Minister and Supreme Military Commander."
Previously the country's information ministry had informed media outlets they were always to use the full title on first reference.
The move comes days after local media were sent a final warning to that effect.
Journalists in Cambodia say it is not yet clear what prompted the change.
This week, local media reported that they had been given a final warning by the Ministry of Information on the order to refer to HE by his honorary title in Khmer, "Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo", which translates roughly to "Lord Prime Minister and Supreme Military Commander."
However, on Friday, HE himself wrote on his Facebook page (in Khmer) that "it is not necessary to write that title if journalists don't want to use it.
"But [they] should respect the code of ethics and [find] concrete sources to avoid sharing the wrong information," he added.
