(Phnom Penh): Chhay Kim Khoeun, Spokesperson for the General Commissariat of the Cambodian National Police, firmly denied Thai media reports alleging that a Chinese national arrested in Pattaya with weapons and a Cambodian passport was connected to the Cambodian prime minister’s bodyguard unit.

Speaking to Fresh News on Sunday (May 10), Lieutenant General Chhay Kim Khoeun considered the allegations as entirely false and baseless, rejecting any link between the suspect and the prime minister’s bodyguard headquarters.

He said the claims were fabricated without clear evidence and accused those behind the reports of spreading disinformation aimed at portraying Cambodia as unstable and insecure in the eyes of the international community.

The police spokesperson further stated that the dissemination of false information appeared intended to damage Cambodia’s reputation as a sovereign nation that respects international law and values peace.

He added that such actions reflected discriminatory and provocative behavior aimed at escalating tensions and deepening disputes between Cambodia and Thailand.
