Taking corruption to school


May Titthara and Kevin Ponniah, The Phnom Penh Post
Mon, 9 December 2013

Less than a week after a leading international corruption index found Cambodia’s public sector to have the worst perceived level of corruption in ASEAN, the prime minister has announced a plan to add anti-corruption education into the national school curriculum. But unions, the opposition and anti-corruption advocates say what is far more urgent is stronger enforcement of anti-corruption laws.

In an announcement signed by Prime Minister Hun Sen on Friday and released ahead of International Anti-Corruption Day events today, the government pledges its commitment to fight corruption and urges the Ministry of Education and the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) to embed anti-corruption education in the school curriculum by the next academic year.

“Corruption is the main cause of social injustice,” it reads. In it, the premier also calls on authorities at all levels and the private sector to “join together to clean out corruption to achieve the national development goals”.

Rong Chhun, president of the Cambodian Independent Teachers’ Association and the Cambodian Confederation of Unions, scoffed at that idea yesterday, calling anti-corruption education programs mere window-dressing by the government.

“What is important is the strong enforcement of the anti-corruption law and whether or not the ACU dares to investigate the corruption of the prime minister,” he said.

“Those who commit corruption are not normal people. It is not those who do not have any position. It is committed by the prime minister or ministers.”

But Preap Kol, executive director at Transparency International Cambodia, the global watchdog which recently ranked Cambodia 160th out of 177 nations in its 2013 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), said the government’s message was encouraging.

“This is not a new message, but I hope that the government leaders will hear this message more clearly and, more importantly, take the message into action by developing concrete action plans and measures to combat corruption sooner rather than later,” he said.

Kol added that the announcement was the first time the prime minister had issued an official message for International Anti-Corruption Day and that Transparency International had been working with the ACU to develop the educational curriculum.

“The work on education I believe is very important, but not very urgent.… While doing that, the government should pay more attention [towards] prevention and law enforcement.”

Cambodia National Rescue Party spokesman Yim Sovann said anti-corruption education would be beneficial in the long-term, but slammed the ruling party-led government for failing to target graft within its own ranks.

“The ACU does not have a real willingness to prevent it effectively, because those who commit corruption are senior people in the [Cambodian People’s Party] ranks.”

Council of Ministers spokesman Phay Siphan said the Kingdom had anti-corruption “laws, mechanisms and policy” and that the purpose of educational programs was to help Cambodians work together to combat it.

“Corruption happens in every part of society. NGOs and the private sector as well,” he said.

“We have to be together. We don’t go with who is wrong and who is right, we go with what is wrong and what is right,” he said.

Khmer wanted change, but when someone trying to change something, they get criticizes that how khmer mentality is, they never give anybody some credite for trying to do something good. What I am saying is nobody is perfect, mistake have been made, help moving forward rather than backward.

Hun sen please tell yourself not to steal the votes from the people. That is the most corrupted action you have done to million khmers. Your speech is tastless. It is time to give up your power for the sake of the people. Khmer land shall belong to khmer. Not fill up with yourn.

There is no law in Cambodia, e.g land owners are jailed and perpetrators gotten away like; land grabbing, illegal leasing of Angkhor War, Mth Bokor, Koh Tral and big block of land concession to both the Viets and Chin, for 99 years. Including killing a number of journalists like Odoum. Chea Vichea, Chut Vuthy, Pisith Pilca, Pov Nga Pich, Touch Srey Nich, Nearg Marin, etc. It is time to tell for all of us to wake up, that there is no rule of law in Cambodia. This CPP has taken the law into their own hands e.g they would use their jungle law toward our innocent ones like, if they demand for their rights, they would be locked up in jail or beaten to death e.g like Youm Bopha vs Lork Chuck Bundith who shot the tree girls and still roam free whereas Youm Bopha hurt no one accept she was trying to free herself from being abused, gotten jailed term.

Again, there is no real law and democracy in cambodia, everything CPP does is a fake, because they are being controlled by the VC e.g Hun Sen said 'the truth is I am a VC's puppet, nobody wants to lose their land or sea but because we are under their controlled'. Therefore, cambodia is not being independent, it is under the both VC and CH's controlled. So, what are we going to do about?

We have to continue to demonstrate until we are free from being oppressed by them crooks of the Viets and the Chinese or else, that is it. It is not Hun Sen's fault because he already admitted the truth and it is up to all of our people to fight for what is rightfully ours, that, Cambodia belongs to Cambodia, not a bunch of mafia group of the Hun puppets/CPP, VC and CH. Please, everyone wake up before it is too late, the right time is now. Again, Hun/CPP =VC and Chinese federation.

It's really ridiculous and funny to see a corrupted-to-the core Hun Sen
talking about getting rid of corruption! To get rid of a systematic corruption
that has been bred by Hun Sen, his families, and his high-raking officials,
Hun Sen must start to clean from the roof, which is himself and his corrupted
clan first. Hun Sen does not need to come forward and bark about his plan
on radios or TVs, but just do it quietly to prove the public the outcome of his
commitment!

The traitor Hun Sen,

Be a brave person like Yingluck.

Adopt her idea below and solve Cambodia's problem.

Stop being a Yuon's slave !! Kom Thork Teap Peuk !! Mouk Krass Dol Kor !!

Presently, your behavior is inferior to animals, which always fiercely defend their territory and their family.

If you stood so low like that, why would you want to live ? What for ?

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on Sunday proposed a public referendum on proposals by anti-government protesters to let the majority of the people decide and suggest a way of holding a clean and fair election with a consensus from all parties as a way to end the conflict.

AH SAT KINHKOK LOAK THNAM SREANG

Bullshit...Son of a B..., You are barking like dogs, you are also a man with no principals. This corruption in our society aka social ill in Khmer societies have been spreading out from you, your family members, your relatives and family in laws. Compared your running the country to a hunter man, who goes hunting with his couple dozen of wild dogs, after he shoots down an animal, his dogs run straight to the dead animal and start biting and eating the fresh meat as their fair share. Ah Kwak Ach Kwek, you are not smart and intelligent as you claimed you are. In fact you are a wild beast. You've been ruling Cambodia as much as you've running your own private business. Remember you are just a piece of shit amongst other of 14 million souls. Khmer people will no longer consider you as their prime minister any more, they know or sure that you a real traitor to the nation; even you are still alive but they already condemned you to dead sentence. Remember from now on you are living with a noose around your neck all the time. This noose will be tightening up at the public square.
