Ministry bans song from radio, TV for ‘insulting’ teachers
20 December 2017
- The Ministry of Information yesterday announced a ban on television and radio broadcast of a popular song by singer Chen Sai Chai for supposedly “insulting” and “humiliating” teachers, though the musicians have said their lighthearted tune is aimed at bettering society.

Produced by Town Production and written and composed by Yem Tasrong and Tho Meet, "Kru bong rien srovoeung sra", or “Drunk Teacher”, was criticised for portraying educators in a way that is “opposite to the behaviour and morals of teachers in general which severely affects the reputation and dignity of the teachers”, according to a ministry statement.

“The meaning of the song insults and humiliates teachers by saying they drink almost every day, drink during the day, smell of alcohol when they speak, display aggressive behaviour and beat the students when they are drunk,” it continues.

Signed by Information Minister Khieu Kanharith, a former teacher himself, the statement announces a ban on television and radio broadcasts of the song effective immediately, though online dissemination is not mentioned.

Highlights
"When you are drunk you are unusually mean, you use strange teaching techniques, you shout and you beat [us],” Sai Chai croons. “Teachers are supposed to be second parents.

"Some teachers work so hard and follow the rules, why is my teacher so strange? What happened to you? You drink every day which violates the principles of the teacher,” the lyrics read.

Is the song about TEFLers?

Are these the lyrics?

"When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who would
Hurt the children any way they could
By pouring their derision
Upon anything we did
Exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids
But in the town it was well known
When they got home at night, their fat and
Psychopathic wives would thrash them
Within inches of their lives"

Oops! That's not it.

Maybe this one then.

When the teachers are really drunk, they violate the principals.

They somehow slip by unnoticed. Some tales from long ago:

Weed: There was a Phnom Penh school (Regent College I think) that had a bamboo bhong in the teachers room.

Meth: One of the guys at the school I taught at was heavy into Yama / Yaba, he lived about 50 meters up the road from the school. At the top of each hour we had a 10 minute break. He would go home and chase the dragon, then back to school for the next 50 minutes.

Pedo: We had a teacher at school named Mal (violet will remember him). We all thought he was a little weird and unsociable. Nobody was surprised when his ugly mug appeared on the front page of the Cambodia Daily. His 15 years should be up any day now.

The Horse was an infamous character who did stupid shit like taking Ketamine before teaching, then having to be dragged out of class by a bubbly manager because hiding in the corner wasn't fooling the kids. Hopefully standards have improved a bit since then.
