April 6, 200422 yr RATHER than facing the trauma of turning a year older, Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen has marked his birthday by declaring himself a year and four months younger, a report said. The Premier told an audience attending a school building opening that according to official documents he should have turned 53 on Sunday, the Cambodia Daily reported. "It is not my real birthday, April 4, 1951... My true birthday was August 5, 1952," he was quoted as saying, adding that he had forgotten his real birth date and misreported it when he became a soldier in 1970. Southeast Asia's longest serving leader reportedly said he never celebrated his or his family's birthdays to "save money and time". Hun Sen is not the only one with such a problem in Cambodia, where the civil registry is in disarray after nearly three decades of conflict and lists just five percent of all Cambodians. A campaign to list the kingdom's population of more than 12 million people on the registry was launched last month.
April 6, 200422 yr Hmm not a bad idea. For my next bday i will turn 17, so all those not-so-legal gals all of a sudden become quite legal.
April 6, 200422 yr I guess that isn't as bad as the N Korean President who in an 18 hole round of golf shot a 38 with 8 holes in one.
