The Ratanakkiri military police commander has been sacked and stripped of his rank by the government after footage of his lavish lifestyle surfaced on the internet and was criticised by social media users last week.

 

On Wednesday, Facebook user Gee Yong posted a video of Kim Reaksmey, now the former provincial military police commander, seemingly handing out $500,000 to his five children during a birthday celebration at his luxurious home. The footage garnered negative comments and corruption allegations on the social media platform, with many questioning how a provincial military police commander could have such large amounts of money.

Prime Minister Hun Sen then announced that Mr Reaksmey was fired due to the scandal. “If I do not do this, I should resign from my position,” Mr Hun Sen said. Mr Hun Sen noted that he made the decision to fire Mr Reaksmey on behalf of National Military Police Commander General Sao Sokha and National Defence Minister General Tea Banh.

Yeah right.

And pull the other one........

It would be nice if the article made it clear that this happened in a Cambo province, not Thailand.

Don't do as I do.

The message was actually "learn to share your brown enveloppes better.."

Simple explanation, the money came from his wife's side of the family.

Yes, it can be confusing. You have to look out for the Cambodian News or Francophone bits at the top.
