Cambodian PM says opposition will rue his death
“In case I had suffered a massive stroke as was reported, you please should pack up your things and flee. I am speaking honestly, because the ability to command all the armed forces belongs to only one person,” he said, clearly referring to himself. He advised his critics not to wish for his death, and if he should fall victim to such a thing as a stroke, they better be prepared because anything could happen to them.

Funny to see him finally admitting that it's a dictatorship...

Of course all bets are off when the actual event occours. How many branches of the Armed forces/ Police are there in this country?

Responding to rumours swirling on social media that he had suffered a massive stroke and died, Prime Minister HE proved to be very much alive during an animated speech in Kampot province yesterday.

Addressing a crowd in Chhuok district, the 63-year-old premier assured listeners that he wouldn’t die for at least another 30 years, and that, far from having a stroke, he was actually shaving a few strokes off of his golf game the day after he had allegedly been whisked away for treatment in Singapore.

“My father died at 90 years old at least, and my grandfather was 93 years old, and I will be more than 93 years old,” he said. “On Friday afternoon, I, along with cabinet members, was having a meeting with the King, and then I played golf on Saturday and Sunday.”
