Reporter attacked by fish sauce

A reporter for Khmer-language Angkor Thom magazine, San Bun Thoeun, was splashed with fish sauce by a senior official last week at a Phnom Penh restaurant and demanded official apology from him.

Moung Khim, deputy director or the ministry’s judicial police and a husband of popular singer, Meng Keo Pechda, expressed anger for a story that implied that he was jealous of other couple’s wedding anniversary festivities, written by Bun Theoun.

According to reporter, Moung Khim invited him at restaurant in Phnom Penh and then attacked angrily him with fish sauce due to published article. And now, reporter demanded him to apologize for his mistakes if not, the report will file complaint with court. But Moung Khim denied saying whether he had thrown fish sauce at the reporter, but added that “fish sauce is for eating, not for splashing people.” The Daily reported.

Khieu Kanharith, ministry of information, was quoted by the local media as say that “Moung Khim should ask for a correction if he is unhappy with a story.”
