This does not mean I am generalizing that all Cambodian officials in government do not uphold moral values; and I don’t doubt they do. However, one can only wonder why this kind moral practice does not well translate into any other activities including but not limited to transparent governance. What I am seeing is, at an individual level, someone with little or no credential in moral area in such long stretch of history, and suddenly you see him run for moral captain post. You see what I mean?

It is pretty much agreeable, to me, that the government is stretching its arms for more control and to keep tab on free speech, which itself violates country’s supreme constitution, which will raise a lot more questions to be answered in the future. Or might it be the indication that it is the government’s willingness to take action on stopping corruption first and then will help raise profile of Cambodia to be the most moral nation in the world? Sounds much better, doesn’t it? However, I doubt that it can be achieved by keeping tab on free speech, though.

I disagree with reahu.net about Khmer culture, but
it is a free speech.

Some people think that Khmer people are conservative,
but they are wrong. Khmer people are one of most
radical people in the world that why you had Khmer Rouge.

I have had a great deal of respect for the government of Cambodia, but I, and many more people will lose it very fast over this issue. This will put Cambodia on the road to being a totalitarian country again (does anyone remember the Khmer Rouge?).
