Abstract
Ek Sonn Chan had a gun pointed to his head. As manager of the water utility, he had dared to ask an army officer to pay the water bill for the army barracks, or else the supply would be cut off. In the face of the less than optimal response, Chan retreated. But the next day he came back with a handful of journalists and cut off the water. The Army, under pressure from the public, gave in and paid its water bill.
