Cambodian first lady asks her husband to reverse all previous songs ban ... and then some

Phnom Penh – Several TV stations affiliated with the CPP reported at 04:01 AM local time this morning that Cambodian First Lady, Lok Chumteav Bun Rany Hun Sen, had asked her husband last night to issue a state decree reversing all the songs previously banned from public broadcasting.

In a sudden change of heart, Mrs. Hun Sen pleaded her husband, Samdech Decho Hun Sen, to reverse the previous ban imposed on three songs -- "If I Can't be Your First Wife, Can I be Your Second?", "I Love Another's Husband" and "May I Have a Piece of Your Heart?". Furthermore, Cambodia’s first lady also asked that the monogamy law be also annulled.

In order to speed up the reinstatement of the banned songs, the first lady asked that her husband issued a decree and that it would be broadcasted live on state and party-affiliated media so that it can take effect immediately. The media-shy first lady also gave an interview explaining her change of heart. “People change with time you know, besides that Cambodia is in dire needs of new blood, so what’s more appropriate than having some libertinage in our society,” The Mekong Daily quoted the first lady as saying.

When asked if the annulment of the monogamy law would require unanimous approval from the National Assembly, the first lady interrupted her husband who was about to provide an answer by saying: “Why do we need the National Assembly approval? Isn’t it dominated by CPP MPs? Since my Samdech Decho is the top CPP man, whatever he says is the law isn’t it? So what do you think the CPP MPs would do if this annulment were to be submitted to the NA? Of course the CPP MPs would approve it, it’s a foregone conclusion, so what the need? Besides that, you have seen how swiftly my Samdech Decho dealt with the land dispute problems? Was there any need for a tribunal? No, so here also there is no need for the NA either. On top of that, whatever I say isn’t it as good as words from the bible since my Samdech Decho’s words are as good as the law. Isn’t there a Khmer proverb that states: ‘If the husband is the PM, his wife must be the Queen?’”

As of 07:00 AM this morning, state and CPP-affiliated radio stations were heard blaring out these formerly banned songs. A survey indicated that male listeners called by such a large number to radio stations to ask for a replay of these songs that all lines on the 012 phone was completely jammed.

That is more like it! Every society on Earth and not just Cambodian society that are exposing to the ugliness of life but it is up to the individual to pick and choose what they want to be!

When stupid Cambodian leaders start to respect the right of individual and only then Cambodian society can more forward!

Cambodia does not have a First Lady like the United States which led by a President.

I'm sorry for having heard of such a First Lady dubbed here.

Chumteav is our traditional title. Please use it.

If Lok Chumteav Oy Ta Khet (Lok Chumtet Oy Ta Khiev) keeps changing her mind like changing her panties then people will know for sure that she is not a woman of principle.

Some songs are based facts, while others are based on fancy. The song writers present their songs to the board of censorship for approval and release in the public domain. However, Lok Chumteav keeps taking over other people's responsibilities, flaunting her power and changing her mind at will. She is playing judge and jury, and her cronies are following her examples (falsifying land titles and robbing lands from the poor, etc.).

It's not about the protection of social moral and culture. It's about demonstrating her power and showing that she can twist the little Samdech Sicho strongman, and the rest of the country, around her little finger. Soon, she is going be awarded an honorary PhD from some dubious universities for that.

It's very stupid of Bun Rany to say that her words are as good as the bible and Hun Sen's word is the law. She probably think that Cambodia is her fiefdom as well. This is like the Cambodian saying which states that :"when a husband is a major, the wife is a colonial(pdei sak bourn, propourn sak pram)). They think that Cambodia is their own private kingdom, do whatever they like.

The Khmer people are only criticizing the corrupted and incompetent Vietcong puppet government here and I personally don't know any Khmer people want to criticize Cambodia as a nation!

To Yurisukidayo

I had a chance to check the half breed Yurisukidayo ugly bitch with heavy makeup look more like a clown!ahhahahahha The ugly bitch has nothing better to do than to compare the Thaicong porn star and the Cambodian porn star? Wait a minute! Cambodia has a porn star? Ahhahhahah

Well! To prove my point if she claim to be all pretty looking bitch and I want her to spread her leg and share her inner beauty with the world and let see what between her leg is all that pretty as she claimed to be! Ahhahhahahhah

Since she is part Taiwanese and maybe she can explain to the world why the Taiwanese men are still looking for a wife in Cambodia? What about her background and why her father or her mother didn’t marry the same race?

I am telling you that she is just another Asian monkey who is dying to look more like European and with the help of cosmetic surgery and God bless her ugly looking flat face!

Taiwanese + Thaicong = Half breed bargain basement looking porn star! Ahahhahhahha!

it's just entertainment and it's up to the people (the consumers to buy or not to buy something they like or don't like). if something is offensive, just switch the channel or don't subscribe to it. people are only care about making the money for a living, nowadays. it has nothing to do with culture or tradition as that, cambodian people are always respect no matter what but any other thing is just businesses in a free society like cambodia, just like in any other free society in other part of the world. thank you for seeing that. god bless cambodia.

People:

Bun Rany must be good in bed that she can dictate Hun Sen's mind while intercourse.

Our law is not to be created during sex, you know? whatever you do in your private time, that's your business.

First Lady?? eewwwww!!!! More like 5th Hoe!! Clearly, she is no where near this title. But then again, if her husband can called himself Somdach, she is up to the challenge. How about Som-pung! Now, that's more like it.

She can even ask for written law to be changed? What a country. She thinks her hubby is all above any Cambodian laws. What a country.
