PHNOM PENH — Cambodia has ordered more than 100,000 government officials to declare their personal assets starting from this month in a bid to fight rampant corruption, an official said Wednesday.
Senior officials, including Prime Minister Hun Sen, must make confidential declarations of property, vehicles, business interests and other assets, said Keo Remy, spokesman for the government's National Council for Anti-Corruption.
"It is historic for our country," he told AFP.
Keo Remy said the officials would be required to report their assets to the country's newly established Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU), but the details would not be made public.
"The asset declaration by the officials will be done in secret," he said.
"We have to safeguard each official's physical and mental safety, and also the country's political stability in particular."
The deadline for the asset declaration had not been set, he said.
Yim Sovann, the spokesman for the opposition Sam Rainsy Party, slammed the process as pointless.
"Secret asset declaration means no asset declaration," he said.
"So we don't support this because it is useless," Yim Sovann added.
The move followed parliamentary approval of a long-awaited anti-corruption law last year that could see officials jailed for up to 15 years if convicted of accepting bribes.
Cambodia was ranked 154th worst out of 178 countries on anti-graft organisation Transparency International's most recent corruption perception index.
It was also ranked the second most corrupt southeast Asian nation after Indonesia in an annual poll by the Political and Economic Risk Consultancy last year.

Hun Manet has billion of US dollar it is not hard for him to get into Military school or PhD.
But the question is can him demontrate his ability to get Kos Trol and sea that have been lost by his Father? If he can than he is well educated man and deserve the star. Otheriwise as North Korea from father to son to grandson.
Hun Manet if you are a truely man with honor why don't you get Kos Trol and sea back from vietnam and Thailand to Cambodia? Show us your real ability to defence Cambodia man. Show us that your PhD and military skill from US and Bristan is worth saving Cambodia Man!

Hun Sen has more Crimes than any other in Cambodia' history.
His Crime as follows :
1)- Brought Yuon to Invade Cambodia.
2)- Created K-5 plan.(Aprox. 600,000 Killed)
3)- Bombast in front of the old ASS.
4)- Coup D'etat 1997 (Aprox. 13,000 Killed)
5)- Koh Pich Murder (Aprox 400 Killed)
6)- Cut land to Yuon Enemy
All these crimes are enough evidences for International Prosecution.
I ask all khmer to file International lawsuit against Hun Sen for his "Axis of Evil" on Khmer People. And make The CASE "OO4" for KRT. backed by United Nation.
