TV Comedians have to be trained on HR

“Government Should Gather TV Comedians to Provide Training on Human Rights and Sexual Harassments”

Every weekend, local TV channel programs are showing and competing their entertainments on live such as concert, comedy, classic and modern musics, movie, football, kick boxing, tour-site guide…etc.

In those scenes, there are some offending points in the aspect against Khmer culture as well as morality that most of the acts committed by many comedians. Almost their performances are related to both verbal and physical violences and sexual harassments sometimes in order to make a joke they spoke and touched very rude and referred to both male and female sexes. When I watched their performances once I felt afraid and a shame as human-being and I think that it is not good attitude and educate nothing to young children and young people, on the other hand, it has been happened long times ago due to majority of audiences recognized that their performs are common for comedians to do so. In my observation, they have only narrow concepts about these performances and the main problem is because of these comedians don’t understand human rights and sexual harassments.

In my opinion, if government ignores their performances, young generations and some of the olds as well would learn more and may increase quickly and widespread the bad acts to practice in society such as gang fighting, domestic violence, sexual harassment in working places – karaoke club, beer garden and any bar. I think it is not too late to address this issue that the government; especially, Ministry of Information and Ministry of Culture should gather comedians to provide training on Human Rights and Sexual Harassments.

Honorary Doctorate as Academic Doctorate?

“Do Honorary Doctorate Call as Academic Doctorate Officially?”

Recently, there have been honorary doctorates were provided to high ranking and dignitary though the universities which were held during the ceremony of student graduation. These officials who received the honorary doctorates are called formally as academic doctorate during any ceremonies or on banners. The calling makes many people misunderstanding the graduated academic doctorates and the speakers fraud people.

For my understanding, the two doctorates are completely different. The academic doctorate candidates study very hard to exploratory with new hypothesis to complete their thesis at least 3-5 years after master degree; on the contrast, honorary doctorate person does nothing, they just received honorary from the university. So, government should not value and call the honorary doctorate as academic doctorate officially.

My concern on Conscription law

“Conscription Subdegree Draft Has to Be Released Publicly”

The Ministry of National Defense publicly has to released the military conscription subdegree draft before finalization in order to hear suggestions and some comments. I feel concerning on the law draft:

1) I strongly argue that the law must be volunteer because some of young people are getting involved in development of their study and working to find income to support their family.

2) I think it might be unfair between the high ranking and the rich children, and the poor children:
- Corruption might happen that the high ranking and the rich families will increase the age of their children over the age of the law such as birth certificate, family book, ID card, diploma, education documents, passport and so on to be proved. According to recently Transparency International survey said that Cambodia most corrupt Asian nation; so, these families can do easily.
- Looking back in 1980s, almost the peasant and the poor kids involved in army, A3 combating police and K5 (Kor Pram) in the battlefield. Whereas the most of the high ranking and the rich kids studied abroad or local high education, and running a good business with their parents. Based on this experience, the high ranking and the rich families might send their children to study abroad at least Vietnam or Laos to escape the obligation and when their children will age over the duty they will take them back home. Or they will be able to do fake marry to abroad and will come back when those children will get over age of the law.

3) Another worry is that the government might mainstream ideology to be pro-CPP (Cambodian's People Party) or use those military trainees to crack down democracy youths when they protest or demonstrate against the government.

Adultery Law is not urgent bill

I think it is clear that this case serves as the political motivation which the court charges the prince Ranarith early 2007. That is a berried of opposition parties that the government always makes busy and prevents them from politics by using media, court and threatening. That why the law was passed so quick by National Assembly and the government enforces as well at the moment, why it is too slow to approve the Anti-corruption law and Immigration law that Cambodian people waiting to fights poverty? Is it too difficult to discuss and pass the two laws?

Experience of China, one of overpopulated countries, was fiercely debated on selected or unselected sex children in the International Population Conference in France 2005 where they took it into account on sex ratio of Chinese population that numbers of males are very higher then females by traditional belief that men are received a heritage and men are valued. Hence, the sexuality problem have happened today between young men and old men who have not yet married that they feel aggressive each others due to big gap of sex proportion between males and females; So that, they advocate Chinese policy makers to reform that issue.

Whereas Cambodia, there is not too different from Chinese problem - the difference is just males to females - that adultery law was passed due to political motivation and jealousy. According to the Cambodia Inter-censal Population Survey 2004, sex ratio is estimated the overall sex ratio of 93.5 numbers of males per 100 females and this is based on the total number of population of 12.824 million, 6.197 million are males and 6.627 million are females. A large number of approximately half million of women would become single because of the pressure from the Khmer socio-culture about sex, limiting women's rights to sexual expression and further more the adultery law. Consequently, they would definitely miss an opportunity to get involved in sexuality a whole their life and they would upset and loose their natural sexuality rights as human being, how do they feel? Who help them? It’s so pitied to them due to the adultery law enforcement. So, in order to address this issue the national assembly and government should turn to pass the two laws and to reform her demography better then the enforcement of this unnecessary law.
