Khmer Intelligence republishes a very good story that ran in the Cambodia Daily today about the missing police chief. By Daily standards, it’s quite long, and paints a pretty detailed portrait of a very flawed character.
The Phnom Penh Post, out today too, publishes a similar story that traces the disgraced police chief’s ascent into the country’s inner circle of power and his eventual unmaking. Of the two stories, the Post gets the juicier details, but the best part of the whole package is a picture of National Police Chief Hok Lundy, who looks every bit the vicious, hard-hitting gangster that Robert DeNiro played in The Untouchables.
Maybe KI can republish the story from the Post too? (Hint, hint)

it’s funny. all the reports wrote about Heng Pov failed to mention one very important fact that is so obvious and so direct.
Heng Pov got to where he was because he was a viet-khmer, married a viet woman, and his father in law is a viet agent in PP. this is a fact, straight and direct. Heng Pov or anyone else can be 100 times more talented, more brave, more ruthless, more efficient, more daring, more whatever… will never rise to Heng Pov’s position, will never ever be that close to Hun Sen’s inner circle. yet no one mentioned this, no one mention the web of strings being pulled from Hanoi by vietnam at the highest level and at all levels of Cambodia’s CPP party. this fact only to explain the bizzare behavior of the cambodian govt that at times seemed anti-khmer, anti-progess, and ganster-like.
if heng pov gets to talk, he will expose the most outrageous stories of how vietnam manipulates Cambodia into a disastrous country and killing all the dissents.
