PR Rep Offers Money to Remove Company From UDG Scam Article

A public-relations officer has asked VOD to remove the Zhengheng Group from an article on scam operations and offered money to do so, saying the company is helping authorities crack down on illegal businesses in its Koh Kong compound. After VOD declined, the officer added in an email: “We will use legal weapons to attack the media that deliberately and maliciously smear and attack Zhengheng Group. Whether it’s in the US or Asia.”

Thong Hongheng, introducing himself as an assistant at the PBS PR agency, initially emailed VOD on September 7 asking VOD to “slightly modify” a news report on a scam compound at Koh Kong’s Union Development Group project “by removing the names of key personnel and the information of group member companies.”

“Cambodia’s Dara Sakor Long Bay Development Zone also shoulders the mission of the ‘One Belt One Road’ initiative, so the Chinese and Cambodian governments also attach great importance to it. The developer is also very willing to cooperate with the local government and the police, and will not cover up those illegal companies,” Hongheng said.
