Mr. Peng Long, who is also head of the Assembly’s secretariat, said his office received the CNRP’s re- quest yesterday afternoon and would send it to be approved by Assembly President Heng Samrin today. “According to procedure, we will recog- nize it,” he said. The spokesman said Mr. Sokha would replace Mr. Rain- sy, who was removed from parliament after an arrest warrant was issued last year over an old defamation case, and that senior CNRP lawmaker Yim Sovann would replace Mr. Sokha as deputy head of the minority group. Mr. Rainsy contended that he would remain the official “minority leader” despite the change. “As CNRP president, I remain the Minority Leader (whose role and status are specified in the recently amended Na- tional Assembly’s internal rules). My counterpart is Hun Sen as CPP pres- ident,” he said in an email. “Being a lawmaker on the spot and as CNRP acting president, Kem Sokha becomes president of the group of CNRP National Assembly members.” Other members of the party could not be reached to explain the reshuffle.

------Business Brief ------Burberry Rejects Multiple Takeover Offers From Coach U.K. luxury fashion brand Burberry has rejected multiple takeover offers from U.S. handbag maker Coach, the Financial Times reported on Sunday. The market value of the combined company would have been above $20 billion. The report said proposals made by the U.S. company were informal and anticipated a cash and stock takeover of Burberry. However, it was unclear at what premium the offers were made or if Burberry ever engaged in serious talks with Coach. In October, reporters quoted sources familiar with the matter as saying that the companies were not in active talks, after a report that suggested the two fashion com- panies were considering a tie-up. Neither of the companies were immedi- ately available for comment outside regular business hours. (Reuters) cambodia securities exchange Monday, December 5, 2016
