Government Bans Two Songs Deemed Too Sexual
Government Bans Two Songs Deemed Too Sexual
BY KUCH NAREN | JULY 8, 2016
The Ministry of Information has banned two songs from radio and television after an outcry among social media users claiming the songs are too vulgar for broadcast in Cambodia due to the use of a crude word for “eat” that could be interpreted sexually.
The songs, “If You Can Eat, Please Take as Much as You Can,” by Keo Veasna, and “It Will Take a Very Long Time to Eat me,” by Chan Malis, use the coarse Khmer-language word “si” for “eat” in an overly suggestive way, the ministry said in a statement.
Chan Malis performs ‘It Will Take a Very Long Time to Eat Me’ in a video broadcast by the MyTV television station and posted online.

Does someone have an online link to Chan Malis banned song or is it too late?

Re: Government Bans Two Songs Deemed Too Sexual
Thanks for that UT. I'll have to check it out several times most likely. I have no or little problem with spoken Cambodian, but lyrics require more attention and concentration.

@Samouth, which song are they referring to? Is it the one I posted? It was posted on Youtube just 2 days ago.
