Who is responsible to commercial ads? the decrease in the Cambodian culture is because of the inflowing of foreign culture, lax of law enforcement, corruption in government institutions, corrupt officials. Prime Minister Hun Sen used to criticize PSI spot on promotion of using condom amongst youths. and he said that this promotion was pushing youths to be more and more involving into sex.

There are night clubs, beer halls and brothels (whole large hotels like the Hotel Washington with women for sale) all over the place so it is a bit inconsistent to argue that there should not be advertisements featuring women on TV. It seems like many Cambodians live in two worlds, the ideal one in their minds based on traditional values and the real one which represents what is actually happening every day. Expressing concern about TV ads when trafficking in women and children for sex is rife reflects a sense of denial about the serious problems which do exist. The real concern should be for the women (and young girls and boys) who are victimized by the sex trade but many Cambodians apparently do not want to even admit that this is going on so they focus on relatively innocuous and unimportant issues such as TV commercials to divert attention from the unpleasant reality.
