Hun Sen dismisses rumor of possible coup in Cambodia
font size    

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said in Pursat Province on Thursday that those predicting similar coup in Cambodia as that in Thailand should regulate themselves, and coup was just impossible to happen in the kingdom.

"Please calm down. Don't say such things anymore, otherwise you will be in trouble," said Hun Sen during his inspection of the provincial irrigation system.

The Cambodians wanted peace and they didn't want any warfare anymore, so the kingdom wouldn't see any coup, he added.

Hun Sen made the remarks in response to some radio broadcasts, where the commentators said that similar coup as that in Thailand might occur in Cambodia, as the two countries shared some similarities in political and military systems and historical backgrounds.

With deeply-rooted military background, Hun Sen currently has a tight control over the kingdom's army and police. Meanwhile, his Cambodian People's Party enjoys dominating superiority in the government, the National Assembly and the Senate.

On Sept. 20, the Thai armed forces seized power without firing a shot, dismissed Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's government, revoked the constitution and promised a swift return to democracy after political reforms.

On Oct. 1, Thailand's military leaders swore in a stop-gap prime minister and unveiled an interim constitution.
