Phnom Penh (FN), July 27 - Commander of Royal Gendarmerie of Cambodia Sao Sokha, responsible for maintaining public order and internal security in Cambodia, expressed no surprise in the US' Adoption of Cambodia Democracy Act of 2018.

General Sao Sokha said that the adoption was ridiculous, as US has many well-educated people, but convinced by the false reporting of Cambodian situation.

On July 24, 2018, the US Congress approved a draft of the "Cambodia Democracy Act of 2018" to specifically ban 17 Cambodian officials from entering the U.S. and freeze any assets or property they possess. The bill was proposed by US Congressman Ted Yoho, Republican representative for the state of Florida and chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific, who supported the former opposition party.

The National Assembly (N.A) of the Kingdom of Cambodia is extremely disgusted by the adoption of the US' House of Representatives on 25 July 2018, N.A wrote in a statement dated on Friday.

"This is a manifestly "act of bully" by the standard of "might is right" and is equal to declaring an irretrievable hostility against a legitimate government of another state," N.A added.
