The National Assembly (NatAss) rejected the request made by the Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) to set up a special commission to investigate the deadly stampede accident that took place on 22 November at Pich Bridge. CPP Cheam Yeap said that the NatAss does not need to set up an additional investigation committee because the government already closed the investigation. Cheam Yeap’s rejection came after 4 SRP MPs asked Heng Xamrin, the NatAss president, to set up an independent commission to investigate the cause of the death and injuries on Pich Bridge.
