Bangkok: Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Vejjayachai has openly challenged the credibility of Samdech Hun Sen, President of the Cambodian Senate, following claims involving former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

According to Thai News Agency, Phumtham expressed skepticism about Hun Sen's intentions, highlighting inconsistency in his statements. Phumtham noted that Hun Sen often retracts his assertions, leading to questions about his reliability.
