Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen yesterday hit out at the Asean Secretary-General, accusing him of "crazy work" for questioning a recent rocket drill.

"I think that his excellency Surin Pitsuwan is not suitable as Asean Secretary-General," Mr Hun Sen said during a speech, adding: "If you are stupid, don't do it".

He pointed out that other Asean leaders, including Thailand - with whom Cambodia has an ongoing border dispute - showed no concerns about the test.

Calling on Mr Surin, who is a Thai citizen, to retract his statement or face a confrontation when Asean leaders meet next month in Hanoi, he said: "You must make a correction ... The rockets did not hit your head."
