Hun Sen calls Thaksin out, reveals historic role in Thai politics
Hun Sen (above) said former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra called Cambodia's leader "immoral" a few days ago. -- PHOTO: AFP PHNOM PENH (Phnom Penh Post/ANN): Hun Sen said he is not interested in speaking with former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, after the latter told Thai media that he has stopped communicating with the former Cambodian premier. 'I want to tell Thaksin that it should be me who should not want to talk to you, ever since your daughter was arrogant and looked down on me. "Moreover, I have no interest in speaking with someone who has been convicted and is preparing to face additional charges. So, do not think too highly of yourself – talking to you only brings me trouble!' Hun Sen wrote in a Facebook post on July 20. On July 19, Thaksin declared that he was determined to stop communicating with Hun Sen, citing fears of his conversations being secretly recorded. He also urged the Thai authorities to complain to the UN regarding a landmine explosion that injured Thai soldiers earlier that week, according to Thai media outlet Khaosod English. 'From my observation, since Thaksin became involved in Thai politics, Thailand has been in great turmoil, starting before the 2006 coup. "I also do not want to bring up the severe insults you directed at the Thai monarchy – those words were too vile for me to repeat, as they would only tarnish the dignity of the Thai King. But you acknowledge that they are true,' Hun Sen added. He added that a few days ago, Thaksin called Cambodia's leader 'immoral', an insult as grave as the one made by Thaksin's daughter, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who referred to the Cambodian leadership as 'unprofessional', sparking anger among the Cambodian public. 'I want to ask you if I lack morality, why did you rely on me for 19 years, from 2006 to 2025, constantly listening to my advice and even calling me 'Leader Number One'? Do you remember the formation of the Pheu Thai Party to contest the 2011 elections? "Apart from some ideas, there was a theory: 'Thaksin thinks, Pheu Thai acts'. That was my theory, Hun Sen's theory, which I shouldn't have to remind you of,' he added. He also revealed that Thaksin was the mastermind behind the Pheu Thai Party and that the betrayal of the Bhumjaithai Party was Thaksin's idea, not that of his daughter, who is currently suspended from her role as Thai prime minister. -- THE PHNOM PENH POST/ASIA NEWS NETWORK

DAP Minister Takes Off His Shoes In Coffee Shop To Prove They're Not Expensive
Subscribe to our FREE Sometimes the most unexpected moments make the best stories. Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming found himself in an impromptu shoe-and-tell session at a local coffee shop, all thanks to one curious breakfast companion who couldn't keep his fashion opinions to himself. According to Ng, being the observant type, he couldn't help but notice what appeared to be expensive Italian leather shoes on the minister's feet. Naturally, he started discussing this with his companions, because nothing says 'good morning' like a spirited debate about someone else's footwear choices. The minister overheard the conversation. When Ministers Take Off Their Shoes Turns out Ng's eagle eye for expensive taste needs some calibration. Instead of ignoring the chatter or sending over a stern look, Nga did something refreshingly unexpected. He walked over, stopped at Ng's table, and proceeded to remove his shoes right there in the coffee shop to prove a point. The shoes weren't Italian imports after all. They were the The minister had paid just over RM200 for his pair, making this possibly the most affordable political fashion statement of the year. The 'Bomba Shoe' Connection The story gets better. Ng later discovered that these particular shoes are nicknamed 'Bomba shoes' because they're popular among firefighters and other uniformed personnel. It's the kind of practical, no-nonsense footwear choice that prioritises function over flash, though they do look quite sharp for work shoes. Ng's Facebook post about the encounter has generated the kind of engagement politicians usually pay consultants big money to achieve. Comments range from praise for the minister's down-to-earth approach ('That's the minister we deserve,' wrote one supporter) to playful jabs about government purchases ('Ask him about the Some users appreciated the 'buy local' message, while others couldn't resist asking if Ng was expecting his shoes to cost more than the minister's. One commenter noted that without reading the post, the photos appeared to show Ng helping the minister put on his shoes – an unintentionally wholesome interpretation of the whole scene. The Takeaway In an era where politicians are often criticised for being out of touch, here's a minister who not only wears affordable local shoes but isn't too proud to prove it in the middle of a coffee shop. Whether this was calculated political theatre or genuine spontaneity, it's the kind of moment that humanises public figures. The Footlink company, meanwhile, could hardly have asked for better product placement. Their medical-grade footwear has just received a ministerial endorsement in the most organic way possible. Sometimes the best political moments happen over breakfast, when someone's willing to put their foot where their mouth is literally. Nga, who is also the DAP deputy chairman, turned what could have been an awkward eavesdropping situation into a lesson about supporting local businesses, giving everyone involved a story worth sharing. As Ng concluded his post: 'Learning something new everyday.' Indeed. Share your thoughts with us via TRP's . Get more stories like this to your inbox by signing up for our newsletter.
