Hands up if you never felt like unplugging those loudspeakers.

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Their country, their religion. Maybe time to leave? You know, back to Trump Land and the bible/gun belt?

I want to thank all the usual flamers/trolls, bottom feeders for the personal attacks on this thread, it gives everyone else a chance to pinpoint who you jerks are and shows exactly what disturbed adolescents can do from their parents basements.

"it gives everyone else a chance to pinpoint who you jerks are..."

To my knowledge you and you alone are the only one interested in pinpointing sources of unpleasant posts. But be of good cheer. A new voice has appeared on the horizon of this forum who will doubtlessly attract some of the flack directed at you.

This should afford you sufficient time to go to a firing range to zero in your weapons of choice for The Great Revolution when Trump loses. I have sent a copy of your resume to Commander Don King and he was highly impressed, especially with your culinary abilities. He would however like to know if you can cook soul food. Your age also seems to be an issue of concern.

Yours for an America great again,

Those tannoys have been around at least a century here, you can see them in old photos of festivals.
I unplugged one set up on my balcony one morning, the noise was insane and it was only a few meters from where I had been sleeping. When I went downstairs I noticed the coffin for the old lady who had died so I taped the wires back together. I later mentioned it being a bit noisy and they turned it down considerably.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

In indonesia surely in cambodia clearly not.
I have lived next door to SHV mosque for more than 5 years and have only heard them open their amp for the muezzin prier call 2 or 3 times.
I actually found it to be quite a relaxing melody also useful as a time frame, like european churches are with the bells ringing.

But i guess it also depends on the caller's voice. The son of the imam (or some other teenager) was in charge of the afternoon call and that was a hairs rising disaster.
This has been a topic of discussion in the Indo expat forum I go to, the problem is when 10-12 mosques try to out-blare each other with garbage screeching speakers.

Myanmar court jails Dutchman for 3 months

6 Oct 2016 at 17:23
WRITER: REUTERS

YANGON - A Myanmar court on Thursday sentenced a Dutch tourist to three months in prison and a fine after he unplugged a public address system that was relaying a Buddhist sermon, his lawyer said.

Klaas Haytema, 30, was arrested after he entered a community hall in the central city of Mandalay on Sept 23 and disrupted a recitation by Buddhist laymen.

Mr Haytema told a court hearing on Tuesday he was unaware a religious ceremony was in progress, but disconnected the hall's loudspeakers because they were disturbing his sleep, said Hla Ko, a Myanmar lawyer who volunteered to represent the Dutchman...

If you never experienced it you wouldnt believe it . I lived out in outskirts of Yangon in apartment 8 years ago. And you would get NO sleep at all on many nights . The loudspeakers just blaring away all night . Full volume . Im pretty sure the Buddha didnt have this in mind 2000 years ago .
