Hun Sen’s lesbian daughter
October 30, 2007
This reads like something from the Onion, but, apparently, it is true.
Cambodia’s prime minister said that his adopted daughter is a lesbian and he was severing ties with her, but he urged the country not to discriminate against gays.
“My adopted daughter now has a wife. I’m quite disappointed,” Hun Sen said.
He made the rare revelation about his closely guarded family life during a speech at a university graduation ceremony.
Hun Sen said he plans to file a civil court case to disown his adopted daughter, whom he did not name, so that she cannot claim any inheritance from his family.
“We are concerned that she might one day cause us trouble … and try to stake her claim for a share of our assets,” he said.
Breathtaking in its coldness, stunning in its hypocrisy: Prime Minister Hun Sen is legally disowning his daughter because he is afraid she may one day force him to part with some of his hard-gained riches. You stingy, heartless bastard. Conversely, Prime Minister Hun Sen’s daughter has made a conscious choice to give up all the wealth and power a human being could ever want, and instead follow her heart. Cambodia would do well to follow in her footsteps.

…. there are a lot behind that, except he did not mention. But most Camboidan in Phnom Penh knew about this.
His daughter is totally a lesbian mafia, no one can mess up with her, she kills. Well, I bet that is the most important reason.

Lesbian mafia? And just when I thought I had heard it all.
