After being caught for accepting bribe, Ly Vouchleng can still get a position at the Council of Ministers: It pays to be corrupt in Cambodia!

Legal post goes to ousted Court of Appeal president

You Bunleng, co-investigating judge at the Khmer Rouge tribunal, was appointed to replace Ly Vouchleng at the Court of Appeal after her removal. He initially said he might not be able to remain at the tribunal but eventually decided to stay on.
Ly Vouchleng's appointment to the Council of Ministers comes 17 months after allegations of corruption resulted in her dismissal.

LY Vouchleng has been appointed as legal counsel to the Council of Ministers some 17 months after a corruption scandal led to her removal from her post as president of the Court of Appeal, Council of Ministers spokesman Phay Siphan told the Post Sunday.

A royal decree issued in August 2007 ousted Ly Vouchleng from the Court of Appeal in response to allegations that the court had been bribed into releasing two human trafficking suspects.

Minister of Information Khieu Kanharith defended the new appointment as "legal" and declined to comment on the past corruption case, deferring questions about that to "the person who decided to appoint her", whom he said he could not name.

Phay Siphan said he did not know who approved the appointment and could not say whether past allegations of wrongdoing levied against her had figured in the decision.

"I just know that she was appointed to the position of legal counsel at the Council of Ministers and that her background is in legal expertise," he said.

Ly Vouchleng could not be reached for comment Sunday.

Kek Galabru, president of the rights group Licadho, said she had not heard of the appointment but that any decision to place Ly Vouchleng in a government post would be "difficult to understand" in light of the government's claims to be actively rooting out corruption.

"I feel very sorry if there really is a new appointment of Ly Vouchleng," she told the Post Sunday.

Each person must have both moral responsibilty and integrity regardless of what position they have. Each of us offcourse need to earn our living through all legal sources. Without these two important principles a person is no different to an animal or a robber with a lot of moneys. Areak Prey

There is nothing wrong with accepting gift. Everyone does it all of the times: New Year, Birthday, Reunion, ..., you name it. Furthermore, as long judge can do their job, that is all that count.

Hey people,

Be aware not to give out too much info about yourself or about another person because SPR and its Members will sell your info like they did to the poor young doc Khmer. The whole wide world knew about her personal life and her comings and goings. It's really sad when a person who tries to do good deeds is 'sold out' by SRP and its relatives and friends. IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT WITH ILL-INTENTIONED MISDEEDS LIKE THIS, SRP & MEMBERS ARE TO LOSE THE SUPPORT OF A LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE WITH BIG HEARTS.

At this moment the victim doesn't know about THIS SHIT YET, wait until she comes to know, IT WILL BE A BIG MESS.

Talking about court, myself, I have been to the court room many times. Sometime I went thee as a translator and sometime I went there as a jury and sometime I went there to support my friend both at district court and in high court. In developped country, they set up court to facilitate to their people for all disputes and all judgements. For all private disputes, they have separated cases from one dollar to 12,000 dollars at District court. In each district court, they many court rooms to solve all disputes. People will lodge their complain and pay a fee according to their level of complain. The court would charge everyone a fee. we don't pay any bribery at all. Areak Prey

Corruption is everywhere, not only Cambodia. In Cambodia, it needs to be cleaned up from the top first.

Yeay Ly Voucheng born in Chakangre, Kandal. Her husband was Cham-Khmer?? He was very dark. Yes Yeay Voucheng is Khmer of Viet decent. She does not speak Vietnamese but Khmer and Chinese a little bit.

The soon the ECCC can get some WMD, which can be rather messy.

It's much easier to just bring the mastermind killer (Ah Scam Rainxy) to the trial instead. We can get him within minutes effortlessly.

Change
In a quick thought, change seems feasible to happen; for example, people will just take off their dress, change with another dress with another style, and their appearance has changed. That’s change in appearance if we have to call. But what are the main ingredients to prompt people to change besides change in look?
Change does not come as conveniently as ones ever thought. Change in appearance with different clothes, for instance, can exist only when the person deem the change appropriate and fit with their preference and adaptation. The people must in quite a period of time observe, experience and taste the flavor of that sort of appearance before they really adopt the change. In this regard, change is what people choose, take excitement from and wish to experience. Their state of mind, their ego, their thought for socializing with others in events and their thought for manipulation from the change to gain more edges of competitiveness and the list as ingredients for change is probably even longer.
Now what does change have to do with Cambodia’s politik? Obama of America cites this word change in his election campaign and integrates change as the core in his policy. Cambodia from three elections so far does not make loud fuss about change. But one has to accurately and wisely notice the trend: Funcipec won the majority of votes in the first mandatory vote, as one main factor conducive to victory was the strong belief for change the funcipec might bring about hopefully as with symbol of their past prominent leader, king Norodom Sihanouk. The name and past achievements still remain in people’s memory and compared for any better Khmers people could imagine of during 1990s, people opted to vote for their past leaders hoping to live in regime with changes for better. However, khmer people have been disappointed and they realize words must go with their deeds; words alone do not bring about changes and they have ended political life of Funcipec eventually. From this experience, any party can conclude a lesson that: people are watching you closely and it is not wise at all to term people as ignorant.
Again what has to do with change for the extinction of Funcipec? It is noteworthy that khmer people during 1990s voted for Funcipec and they firmly hoped Funcipec would work hard, effectively, genuinely and fast enough to bring about better living conditions that meet their daily’s life changing demands. From one election to the last one, support for Funcipec has eroded substantially and rapidly, which as a result Funcipec gained just two seats compared to 56 seats in the first election. That’s pathetic and one tragedic result for Funcipec!
The lessons, however, Khmers can learn from all these phases of Funcipec are change is not new policy for khmer people-they are bound to change for better or worse so long as any leaders can win their sympathy and hearts (in the case of king Sihanouk calling his people to form guerilla fighting in Makis jungle); information is the driving power to determine people’s decision though widespread dissemination is not commonly practiced in Cambodia either in forms of news outlets, news broadcasting nationwide on TV&radio, discussing or debating with rule of law and justice serving as key benchmarks; social agents for introducing, initiating and delivering possible change are one of key elements besides the means to disseminate information that can bring about major change; conducting poll and survey or providing trainings with technicality and complexity, yet with made-convenient-easy-to-learn information and conduct, to meet with basic, urgent or constant demands of people in order to build strong foundation to win support from people.
The words must go with good, realistic deeds and ability to make quick, effective decisions to respond to new events and ability to tackle problems pragmatically and wisely, which all of these must be present in any potential, responsible leaders who want to adopt and achieve change in their policy.

Dear readers! all of you and i should not doubt about the appointment of this person, that person because this is the culture of unpunishment of this regime. The victim from that event is the the voters who vote 90 seats for CPP and then the CPP gives back with the corruption, eviction, land grabbing etc. 90-seat-voters, you should not complaint!!!

You are right 2:50AM. But in Cambodia only the powerful family and their relatives and friends are rich. Sometime the poor or weak people live to survive to feed their stomaches to be able to put food or have feared of getting shot. Yeay Vouchleng is not so much different the the unarmed civilians.
Natioanlists also have to eat.
