On 27 February, the National Assembly (NA) debated and approved the draft law for imposing civil penalties which include 4 sections and 7 articles. Hy Sophea, the secretary of state for the ministry of justice, who was at the NA to defend this law, said that to guarantee the application of the civil code and the procedural rule, there must be civil penalties. He explained that the civil penalties include, for example, penalties imposed on parents who do not register the birth of their children, or penalties imposed on individuals who divide inheritance in contradiction to the restrictions prescribed by the civil code. Furthermore, civil penalties will be imposed on witnesses or parties who have given false testimony, or individuals who refused to abide by the court order to turn over documents to the court, and they will also be imposed on those who argue against the correct preparation of documents as stipulated by the civil code. The NA adopted the law by an approval vote of 69 over a total of 78.

KI-Media Note: The Cambodia Daily reported that the SRP objected to the law, saying that it would give too much authority to judges who are still influenced by outside political influence. Furthermore, the SRP believed that the law would come too hard of ordinary citizens, while leaving corrupt officials to continue their infractions. Yim Sovann's speech was cut off short by Heng Samrin who told him to stop talking if he does not support the law.

I don't see anything wrong with this law. This should take care of the wise guys who don't respect our law or rule of the court.
I say we fine the shit out of him. Fuck Sam Rainsy, Mua hahahaha ....!!!
this is not right, this law does not protect and put interest of people. Its true aim is legal exhortation of the ill-informed Khmer citizens.
People who look at this and say it is good immediately have not looked deep enough. Corruptions can have such sweet and legal sugarcoating. That is how it managed to disguise itselves to many fools.
Bullshit, virtually all judges on this planet had the power to impose civil penalties.
First, what's a total of 69 over 78?
Sam Rainsy can't have it both ways. Either he is for the rule of law and that includes civil penalties for wrongdoers or he is against it. There can be no selectiveness in applying the law.
You fool he SR did not say he disobey the law he only opposed it as AP!
And any citizen can oppose to any law but they have to obeye it when it pass but wait for people power to show the reverse of the flow!
Some may be tayhoung like Sadame!
it's ok to disagree if given a good reason. however, remember that majority ruled.
Yep, you can say that again!
