To whom it may concern ! Gov’t Spokesman Summons Student Over Facebook Post. ស្រួលស្ដាប់ : លោកអ្នកនាំពាក្យ ផៃស៊ីផាន កោះហៅសិស្សម្នាក់ ដែល post ជ្រុលជ្រួសនៅលើ Facebook. Mr. Siphan on Thursday gave a speech on being a spokesman to a class of about 20 second-year students at the Royal University of Phnom Penh’s Department of Media and Communications (DMC) before opening the floor to questions. The questions focused on the government’s tight grip on broadcast media, with one student asking why popular radio station owner Mam Sonando, who is openly aligned with the opposition CNRP, has been repeatedly refused television licenses. “If you allow Mam Sonando to have a station for political reasons, you have to allow everyone,” Mr. Siphan replied to the student. “Not just CNRP—the LDP [League for Democracy Party], everybody. It’s not good for the audience because everyone is on their own side and…[it leads to] an atmosphere of polarization.” Mr. Siphan also said that some journalists working in Cambodia are under the employ of what he termed foreign “special interests.” “Some are called to come to be against the government as an NGO,” he said. “A number of staff at The Cambodia Daily, we’ve learned—a few, not a lot—that they’ve been hired and provided money to do their jobs as missions to write and research,” Mr. Siphan said. “They’re not professionals of media. You get it?” One student responded, “I’ve never heard about that.” “Because you’re not the government,” Mr. Siphan replied. ****I had no idea what the f–– he’s talking about!!! So f––ing mess up,” the journalism student, Teck Chan Rachna, posted after the lecture. ....................... Im so proud of Lady Tech chan rachna . Sure his answer is f***ing mess up. im on your side ,Rachna.
