PHNOM PENH/BANGKOK (Phnom Penh Post/ANN): Cambodian Senate president Hun Sen has responded to Thai media reports that another Thai university has stripped him of an honorary doctorate, saying that he threw away the three such awards bestowed on him by Thai academia, adding that they hold no value and were not worth keeping.

"Let me clarify: I discarded all three diplomas from Thai institutions long ago. They were completely worthless to me and not worth preserving," he said, adding that he received the honorary diplomas in 2001, 2006 and 2019.
