The anti-terrorism draft law was approved by the National Assembly (NA) on 26 June 2007 with 88 supporting votes from 88 MPs present. The draft law, which includes 13 sections divided into 111 articles, was debated for 2-day on June 25-26 before it was approved. Terrorism charge carries a 30-year jail sentence to life imprisonment. There was not much hard debate on this draft law. The approval vote came immediately after the chairman of the committee of experts read out loud the content of the draft law for the MPs. Heng Samrin, NA president, said that since 21 March to June, the NA has approved 14 laws already. Therefore, there are only 12 laws and 11 draft laws left that have not been approved yet. He also indicated that the NA is now in recess in order to move to its new building.

Anti-terrorism law - for the money - 100% passed.
Anti-corruption law - against the money - uh! uh! rubberstamp mongers, "let think about it. We need to ask our wives for approval."
Anti-corruption law = Anti-terrorism law!
they don't know the different.
