Justice-à-la-Hun-Sen: The gun-toting bodyguard of the 2-star general is seen threatening the truck driver and demanding that the truck company pay for the damage to the general's Land Cruiser which rear-ended the truck.General’s Land Cruiser read ended a truck and the general’s bodyguard pulled out his gun to threaten the other vehicle
Phnom Penh – A traffic accident took place along National Road 1, near Preah Monivong bridge when a Land Cruiser SUV belonging to a 2-star general rear-ended a Hyundai truck [in fact it was a Daihatsu truck] belonging to the Vattanak Co. Following the incident, the general’s side pulled out a gun to threaten the truck and demanded it to pay for the damage [KI-Media analogy note: In the case between Mrs. Mu Sochua and Hun Sen, Hun Sen insulted her and now he is suing her as well]. The incident took place at about noon time on 27 April 2009.
Witnesses said that they saw the general’s green Land Cruiser SUV driving out a street near the Chhbar Ampov 1 theater and turning into National Road 1. Witnesses also said that the general’s was wearing a name tag saying: Sam Dy. The SUV was moving toward the Monivong bridge in the direction of Phnom Penh. At the location of the accident, there was a Hyundai truck traveling from Kien Svay to Phnom Penh also. Witnesses saw the SUV swerving and rear ended the Hyundai truck on the right hand side. The accident damaged the Land Cruiser turning light and it was also dented on the front.
Witnesses added that after the SUV hit the truck, the truck driver did not stop to look at the damage because he believed that the Land Cruiser was at fault and he did not sustain too much damage, therefore, he thought he was freed to continue on his trip and he moved along on the Monivong bridge. At that time, the general’s bodyguard who was riding a motorcycle behind the Land Cruiser followed the truck and the bodyguard pulled his handgun and pointed it at the truck driver along Preah Sisovath Boulevard. It was not until the truck reached the level of Street 466 that it stopped. Then, the general’s bodyguard pulled his gun and pointed at the truck driver, wildly threatening the truck driver (see photo above).
When he got off the truck, the truck driver said that he did not understand because the general’s car hit him, and then the general’s bodyguard used his gun to threaten him on top of that.
However, the general’s bodyguard said that the problem was not the accident, but the fact that the truck driver fled the scene made him very angry. At the end, the Vattanak Co. which owned the truck decided to pay the cost to fix the general’s SUV, because the company believes that it is merely a small fry and it cannot afford to get into a loggerhead with a powerful general.
For those who saw the accident, they said that it is unreasonable for the side of the 2-star general to threaten the Vattanak Co. and forcing it to pay the damage when in fact the general’s SUV was the one that rear-ended the truck. So this is the situation in Cambodia nowadays: the rightful person becomes the victim because he wants to live in safety in the future.
