Hun Manet, the son of Cambodia's long-time Prime Minister Hun Sen, has been appointed as the country's new prime minister. Hun Manet, a trained economist and experienced general, is set to be sworn in on August 22. There are concerns about whether he will follow in his father's autocratic footsteps. Those who knew Hun Manet as a young man describe him as humble and conscientious, focused on a career in development economics. However, his family's growing dynasty, intertwining business, politics, and personal life, has raised questions about nepotism and corruption.
