New spy school to be led by HE's son
13 December 2017
New spy school announced
Prime Minister HE announced the creation of a school to train spies to combat “colour revolution” and terrorism in Cambodia yesterday, tapping his son and Ministry of Defence Intelligence Director Hun Manith to lead it.
In front of an audience of hundreds of military and police officials, Manith said the facility will train soldiers and police in intelligence-gathering and maintaining “covert identities”. “We need to control and share information to take action in time,” he added. “The political and security situation and competition in the future will be more intense than in previous years.”
Though Manith did not explicitly name the “ill-intentioned group”, the government recently dissolved the country’s only viable opposition party, the Cambodia National Rescue Party, over widely derided accusations that it was fomenting a foreign-backed “colour revolution”. The move has since drawn near-universal condemnation from observers and the international community.
Manith, who is a lieutenant general in the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces, said the school will also offer sniper training and later expand into a “strategy and research centre”.
HE, who spoke after his son, said the government is continuing to root out colour revolution using agents both inside and outside of the armed forces. “I do not want spies to only provide information,” HE said. “The spy needs to have skills to analyse fake news and news resulting from exaggeration . . . We need investigators that we call spies in all places and units.”
HE also claimed that he had pretended to be on his deathbed in the past to root out people in his circle leaking rumours. “This is something special about me,” he said. “You cannot predict my steps and you cannot lay a trap for me.”

So they are creating the Cambodian Stasi? Why would they need sniper training unless they were going to whack people.

Only the eastern/non-western-allied secret police are presumed to be nasty. Good thing the CIA, Mossad and MI5 never indulged in any dirty tricks, right?cptrelentless wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2017 5:12 pm So they are creating the Cambodian Stasi?

Kindly try to refrain from comparing western democracies from ideological dictatorships. For whatever shortcomings the west may have, they much more preferable to totalitarian regimes.that genius wrote:Only the eastern/non-western-allied secret police are presumed to be nasty.

People don’t flee the USA en mass to escape the CIA or FBI or NSA, Britons don’t float on rickety rafts to escape the MI5 or MI6, Israeli’s aren’t crossing the boarder at night into Iran to flee the Mossad.

The ones who benefit from the acts of these violent agencies generally don't throw those privileges and wealth away, doofus.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2017 2:56 amKindly try to refrain from comparing western democracies from ideological dictatorships.

The CIA, Mossad and MI5 have been responsible for hundreds of thousands of human rights abuses...and if you have so little to say that is good about Cambodia, why are you not living in your beautiful western 'democracy'?
And let's not forget the west's convenient alliances with dictators...Chile, Cuba, the Philippines, Iran, Iraq, Libya, South Africa, Central America...Christ, if dictatorships are so offensive, why is the US always so ready to be in bed with them? The hypocrisy, really.
Your words tell us what a lovely system it is, but your actions speak louder.
I personally have no idea why someone who could live in country A would choose to live in country B, which they continually run down, whilst simultaneously ignoring the fact that their shiny western democracy has started more wars and been responsible for more deaths and suffering than any ideological dictatorship.
Their English proficiency does offer a clue, though.
