Cambodian Govt to Propose Law Against Inappropriate Dress

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Huzzah, I say.

As long as they ban the use of safety-shorts as well.

It's false advertising, these Khmer chicks waltzing around Aeon in impossibly short skirts, only to find there's a pair of Daisy Dukes underneath.

I bet that in the near future it will be the advocates of Western decadence that will be understood as ultra-conservative boomers.
btw. you are wrong, i'm not a conservative... rather, a leftist progressive.
Oh dear, now the old caveman comparison... The "savages" in the jungle with no electricity, and no clothes, eh? I rest my case.

Nah, I normally just yell at the 60/70 year olds with their gross old bods along riverside with no shirts on. Nobody needs to see that shit.

Thank god the almighty "Royal" Government of Cambodia is proposing a much needed law on inappropriate dress!!! Tourism (which was suffering prior to the pandemic), manufacturing and agriculture (oh hey, these two sectors were also suffering before the pandemic!), 3 out of 4 pillars of the lousy Cambodian economy, are in disarray... but yes, let's focus on what really matters. Shirts and skirts.... Clowns. Those people are clowns.

You can't legislate, because it gets down to personal interpretation. How short is too short? How so you measure it?

From OP post :mrgreen:
But Ouk Kimlekh, an interior ministry secretary of state leading the drafting process, said the legislation was needed to preserve traditional culture.
"It's good to wear something no shorter than the middle of the thighs," he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
As to how you measure it.....well... :stir:

Thousands of girls wear shorts, which are shorter than that. Are they going to make it illegal for girls to wear shorts?

They have not thought this through.
