Hun Sen Calls on Impostors Claiming to Be His Deceased Son to Stop Exploiting His Past Pain

（金边）柬埔寨参议院主席 洪森，于2026年1月23日上午在官方社交平台发文，点名呼吁一名自称是他已故儿子的人，要求对方停止利用他多年前的伤痛经历进行欺骗，谋取个人利益。

Hun Sen stated that the loss of his son occurred nearly 50 years ago and urged those involved to stop using this painful chapter of his life for deceptive purposes. He explained that since the end of the Khmer Rouge regime in 1979—particularly after he publicly shared his experience of losing his son, which was later adapted into a story and film titled The Son Under the Full Moon—more than 20 individuals have falsely claimed to be his deceased child in an attempt to establish a connection with him.

According to Hun Sen, some of these individuals previously contacted him through letters, others spread their claims via magazines, and in recent years, many have taken to social media platforms such as Facebook. In the most recent case, the situation escalated further, with the individual not only publishing articles but also claiming to have communicated with people familiar with Hun Sen’s Telegram contacts.

Hun Sen concluded by urging all impostors to stop exploiting his personal suffering for their own benefit.
