I was listening to the BBC’s Dispatches program yesterday and learned of a new morality crackdown in Cambodia. Among the less likely targets are the newer cellular phones:
Along with other powerful Cambodian women, [Prime Minister Hun Sen’s wife] Bun Rany decided that these cutting-edge phones would allow would-be mistresses to bombard rich and influential men with suggestive material, leading them into temptation.
“We are all very concerned that bad people will use modern communication and information technology in the wrong way, and this will have a serious negative effect on morality and social welfare,” said the petition from the group some have called the “Phnom Penh Wives”.
What’s next? Gameboys? iPods? The horror.

Yeah, that her view point alone, but not the law restriction…!
They want to look at the issues they already have. Prostitution, child slavery, massive deaths from HIV and a continuing spread of the disease. I think the last thing they need to think about is a few pictures. I am sure any adult can make his or her own moral choices when it comes to this sort of thing. I lived in Cambodia for some time. Hun Sen is a true technophobe. Although they don’t cencor the internet there, there are no moves to make it accessable to all Cambodians, in fact the internet is soooo expencive (and very slow) there that no one can actually afford to have it on in their homes. The 3G mobile network ban looks (to me) like another way of supressing high-bandwidth communications so the people remain un-educated and under the control of a bastard Government. Nothing to do with morals…
