Phnom Penh - Cambodia's leading pop heartthrob has backed down on
threats of legal action against a farmer who named a stud bull after
him, the singer said Friday. The nation's most popular singer-actor,
Preap Sovath, 36, had threatened legal action against the owner of a
10,000-dollar Brahman breeding bull he named after the *** symbol.
Sovath was quoted in a range of local media to be taking action to
protect his wife, who had re****tedly become distressed after seeing
advertisements offering the services of the bovine Preap Sovath for
100 dollars per mating, with satisfaction guaranteed.
But Friday the Cambodian equivalent of Ronan Keating said he would not
be taking any action.
"No, no, no. I don't care anymore and I am too busy," Sovath said by
telephone.
Theories for the change of heart abound, including a rumour it was
partly due to the unsuitability of alternative names offered by the
farmer.
A moniker such as 'Little Preap' was unlikely to enhance the careers
of either the bovine or bopping version of the star, fans admitted.
