In the wake of his 15-session suspension from parliament for “insulting” National Assembly President Heng Samrin, opposition lawmaker Um Sam An has defended criticism he posted on social media while expressing regret over his choice of words.

Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) representative Sam An received the punishment – which also included having his parliamentary salary halved for two months – in an order signed by Samrin on Thursday, following a July 14 post by Sam An on Facebook criticising Samrin.

In the post, Sam An claimed Samrin had failed to forward a July 6 letter signed by several opposition members to Prime Minister Hun Sen urging the border demarcation process with Vietnam to be halted.
