Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, who has been in power for more than 20 years, has accused opposition leaders who are planning to return to the country of wanting to stage a coup
Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah had said that Malaysia couldn't fulfil Cambodia's request to extradite CNRP leaders as they did not enter the country using a Cambodian passport
Sochua and two others came using American passport, thus allowing them to enter the country, but Saifuddin hoped that the CNRP leaders would not use the country as a platform to mobilise their political movement. - Mkini
