Road Rage: Oknha Liu Kiek and Bodyguard Smash Up Bus

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.

Which one is the bodyguard? The smaller guy in the gray safari suit looks more like the Okhna in the portrait.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

The same source said that when the tycoon arrived, at the scene, he called to the bus driver to get out of the bus to solve the problem, but the bus driver did not agree to get out and talk to him. This made the tycoon angry, and the bodyguard took the stone and smashed the windshield to let the driver come down out of the bus.
What would 'solve the problem' entail exactly? A good 'dressing down' or a thrashing? Plus, 2 against 1.

Does anyone blame the driver for not getting out of the bus under the circumstances?
He’d have been crazy to have gone near these two. Especially if guns are present, which it really does look like he’s pointing a gun (poor photo) at the drivers window. Guns have an inconvenient habit of going off when emotions run high. The hit/miss ratio doesn’t give much confidence, either way.

Remarkably level headed?

Why does the smaller of the two characters look like he’s dressed in janitors overalls? Is this a new trend among okhnas?

It's a Zhongshan style suit, sometimes called a Mao Suit (not really accurate as it was first worn by Chinese Nationalists) or even Safari Suit. They have been popular for officials, off duty military and bodyguards for as long as I can remember. I have a black one but I only wore a couple of times.

It’s more the colour, rather than the style. Just looks like he’s suited to mopping floors, rich or not.

He also requested that the authorities make a contract for the driver to respect the road traffic laws in future, and to educate him to respect the rules of priority and not to overtake in a dangerous manner."

Yes because the ohknas DO respect the road traffic laws so diligently.

The inspector added that lthe tycoon called for the intervention of the police to stop the bus, so Bavet City Police then deployed a car to intercept the bus and pull it over.
So the police were present and just let the guy smash the bus window (and a phone)?

I like how he called the police - obviously having enough influence to make them show up promptly, which is a treat in itself - but didn't waste too much of their time, taking matters into his own hands once the bus was safely stopped by the competent authorities. I've got to applaud his hands-on approach.
