Ambassador freezes Cambodian Embassy funds in Canberra
The Cambodian Embassy's Canberra bank account has been frozen by orders from the Cambodian Ambassador to Australia, Mr Chhut Chhocur, who is in the United States and due back soon. Mr Mam Nerain, who arrived two weeks ago, said he plans to seek asylum if the current Cambodian government falls, criticising officials as corrupt and promising to stay in Australia with his family. He claimed one diplomat who defected took the embassy code book, hindering contact with Phnom Penh and warning he cannot keep the embassy functioning without funds.
