Prime Minister says his growing pot belly is getting in the way of his golf swing.
Hun Sen, who is known for his casual comments, went off track while responding to a Facebook comment on his health to talk about his weight. He said someone had reposted on Facebook a two-year-old video clip, purporting to show he had suffered a stroke.
Better say that the prime minister is worrying his weight is increasing and at the same time the belly also getting big
“If you need to broadcast the news of the prime minister’s health, you better say that the prime minister is worrying about his belly that is now getting big,” Hun Sen said Monday in the southern Kandal province.
“Don’t say that the prime minister suffered a stroke. Better say that the prime minister is worrying his weight is increasing and at the same time the belly also getting big, which makes it difficult for my swing while playing golf.”
Hun Sen, 64, went on to say that he has put on 3kg in recent days, attributing it to a lot of time spent sleeping in the car while touring the country as part of his programme to tour all 25 provinces in the country to meet people.
