Former deputy prime minister Lu Lay Sreng fled to Thailand yesterday after Prime Minister Hun Sen and Prince Norodom Ranariddh threatened to file a defamation complaint against him. Mr Hun Sen told about 4,000 garment workers at Koh Pich on Sunday that Mr Lay Sreng insulted the King by comparing him to a castrated rooster.

 

“He insulted the King by comparing him to a capon,” Mr Hun Sen said. “It is a very serious insult.” Mr Lay Sreng’s comments were carried in a voice recording on the notorious “Seyha” Facebook page, which is often behind such leaks.

 

Fresh News published three recordings on Saturday of Mr Lay Sreng, a former senior official of the royalist Funcinpec party, speaking to a woman named as Ky Lum Ang. Mr Hun Sen said Mr Lay Sreng defamed him by saying he would provide $20,000 to each Funcinpec party official who was prepared to enter the National Assembly after the CNRP was dissolved. He also allegedly described Prince Ranariddh as a bad prince.

Under Thai law alleged defamation of even foreign royalty is considered lese majeste so I expect to read tomorrow that the DPM will be charged. That should make his 90 day reporting straight forward:smile:
