Chumteav Bun Rany Hun Sen, wife of Prime minister Hun Sen, called on the authority of the City of Phnom Penh, as well as other provincial and municipal authorities, to review night entertainment clubs which affect security and social order, as well as the national culture and custom. The Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper reported that Chumteav Bun Rany Hun Sen also called for a ban of the song “Som Bes Daung Muoy Chamnek” (Give me a portion of your heart) on TV stations, and an improvement on the wearing of extremely sexy clothes. Bun Rany made this request during a meeting of the national committee for the raising of the social moral conduct, the value of Cambodian women and Cambodian families, which took place on 31 January. Bun Rany requested the city authority to review the more than 100 nightclubs and to put under its grasp those nightclubs where incidents occur nonstop. She also requested the ministry of culture and the ministry of information to review the clothes worn by singers when they perform on scene, because these singers wear too revealing clothes, she also requested a ban on the song “Som Bes Daung Muoy Chamnek” because the lyrics in this song do not provide a good education to Cambodian women.
