Prime Minister Hun Sen has requested King Norodom Sihamoni remove the Oknha titles of 75 senior Defence Ministry officials and officers of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces. According to a five-page letter signed by Mr Hun Sen last week and obtained by Khmer Times yesterday, the Prime Minister asked the King to “end the Oknha titles” of the senior RCAF officers.

 

“Based on the recommendations from Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Tea Banh…on ending the Oknha titles of senior officers at the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces, on behalf of the Royal government of Cambodia, I wish your high permission to end the titles of 75 senior RCAF officers,” Mr Hun Sen said.

 

The title holders include General Neang Phat, a Defence Ministry secretary of state, General Khun Vuth, and General Chao Phally, both undersecretaries of state at the ministry. General Uy Sarin, RCAF deputy commander, General Chao Phirun, director-general of the Defence Ministry’s material and technical services department, and General Sem Sovanny, director-general of the National Centre for Peacekeeping Forces, are also on the list.

Such titles are mere dressing of little meaning, except to those whose ego and corruption require constant feeding.

Yes indeed, with the prospect of Sam Rainsy returning from exile in France.
