Hok Lundy, the head of Cambodia's national police force, was killed in a helicopter crash yesterday.
Human Rights Watch describes Hok Lundy as "represent(ing) the absolute worst that Cambodia has to offer", and says that "aside from his boss, Prime Minister Hun Sen, there is hardly anyone in Cambodia who has shown more contempt for the rule of law than Hok Lundy"[4]
I heard about crash while I was down in Kampot, from an American tourist. She'd been having drinks with Singaporean contractors in town when the call came in from Phnom Penh.
None of my Khmer friends express any regret over his death. Some of my local friends have even attended celebration parties.
