Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen has ordered an investigation into the distrubution of leaflets insulting the country's king, Norodom Sihamoni and leaders of the ruling Cambodian People's Party.

The political fliers flooded the city prior to last week's opening of the National Assembly.

The Phnom Pehn Post reports the leaflets call the King "a puppet" of Hanoi and Beijing and described the Prime Minister as a national traitor.

The Opposition Sam Rainsy Party says it had nothing to do with the leaflets.
