PHNOM PENH (The Phnom Penh Post/Asia News Network): Hun Manet, the designated prime ministerial candidate for the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP), has chided former opposition leader Sam Rainsy for alleging that he had smuggled $5 million in cash into France to “buy” the support of the Cambodian diaspora community.
Manet – currently Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF) and Commander of the Royal Cambodian Army – dismissed the claims as baseless and a “cowardly attack”, while sarcastically referring to Rainsy as a “mature politician”.
