Man arrested after asking to meet HE

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

Senate Official Arrested at PM’s Villa After Demanding Meeting

A Senate official was briefly detained on Saturday after he parked his car outside Prime Minister HE’s villa in Phnom Penh and began honking his horn to demand a discussion about how to prevent “World War III,” police and officials said Sunday.

Eang Borith, a 32-year-old CPP official who serves as the deputy secretary-general of the Senate’s commission on foreign affairs, was arrested by police stationed outside Mr. HE’s home after he refused to move on, said Daun Penh district governor Kouch Chamroeun.

“The man drove his car and then stopped it in front of the residence of Prime Minister HE, and pressed a few times on the horn and called out to Samdech [Mr. HE] because he wanted to discuss the state of the nation,” Mr. Chamroeun said.

“We questioned the man, but I do not understand what he wanted because he spoke unreasonably,” he added. “He told me that he wanted to talk with Samdech HE to find ways for prevention, because World War III would happen soon.”

“I think the man is likely a mental case because his speech was unreasonable,” Mr. Chamroeun said.

Municipal police chief Chuon Sovann said Mr. Borith was released from custody after questioning because police were satisfied that his irregular request for dialogue was not a threat to Mr. HE.

“We let him return home because we checked with his family and they gave us medical documents to prove that he has had a long battle with mental illness,” Mr. Sovann said. “I handed him and his car over to his family and told them to take care of him properly.”

Mr. Borith’s family then took him for treatment at a medical facility in Phnom Penh, he added.
