PM Hun Xen ordered the ministry of Defense to remove the RCAF sign from the logo of TV5, the television station which broadcasts more songs than actual army activities.
In front of several hundreds of troops he visited in the morning of Saturday 27 Feb in Phlov Meas commune, Ratanak Mondul district, Battambang province, Hun Xen declared: “Pull out the RCAF sign, there’s no need to keep it. Just keep TV5, that’s enough because [the station] uses the RCAF sign, but this TV station does not broadcast about army’s work that much! Therefore, it should be removed. I allow you [using the derogative “h-eng”] to use TV5, but you must remove the name RCAF out. The RCAF insignia will no longer be allowed to be used by TV5 anymore!”
Hun Xen also criticized the RCAF TV5 station where several generals are only concerned about broadcasting songs, but they are never concerned about the army at all.
Hun Xen said: “I let you wear stars, but these stars are useless, they [using the derogative “vea”] don’t know how to work it, and they do not look at it either, and if you are useless, sell all the shares back to me [using the derogative “anh”)! I will buy them all back when you don’t make any change like this. My speeches, I just see them broadcasting the few last ones, in the past, they never did! Even if we went to visit the troops, they [TV5] never broadcast the speeches about army issues. There was nothing at all! Therefore, stop them from using [the army sign]! When we go back, H.E. Tea Banh [minister of Defense], you should review this!”
