The deputy director of the Siem Reap provincial Registration and Driver’s Licence Unit at the Department of Public Works and Transport who last week pointed at the number plate of a car taken in for a technical check with her foot has been transferred.

Sim Sophat’s transfer to the department’s General Affairs Bureau came after social media criticism that she had committed misconduct and an indecent act.

“She has to appear at the General Affairs Bureau every working hour. The General Affairs Bureau, the Registration and Driver’s Licence Unit and Sophat have to cooperate to ensure the resolution is executed effectively,” states a letter dated Friday by Ky Virin, the provincial director of Public Works and Transport.

The Ministry of Public Works said on Facebook on Saturday that Sophat had been transferred to general administration for misconduct while providing services.

“If people encounter misconduct from Ministry of Public Works and Transport officials when receiving public services, please report it, attaching names, identification, times and locations, as well as pictures, video and any other evidence so that we can take action according to procedures,” the ministry said.

Ministry spokesman Kong Vimean said Sophat’s transfer had been an administrative move and that the Siem Reap provincial Department of Public Works would look into why she had behaved in such a manner.

If she was found to have committed misconduct, the Department of Public Works and the provincial hall would take further action.

“The Department of Public Works and Transport will continue to investigate why Sophat committed such misconduct. If we find fault, the department can send a letter to Siem Reap Provincial Hall requesting her removal,” he said.

So rude.
Burn the witch !

The foot fetish car enthusiasts will be salivating

Nice leg!

It amazes me sometimes seeing what Khmers decide to become outraged by.

Considering the utter avalanche of unabashed fucktardery going on at all levels in this country, this has to be pretty low on the totem pole, no?

#priorities

it's rather pathetic how thin khmer skins are when it comes to this kind of insult
I have plenty of "indecent acts" under my belt
not with the tip of my shoe though, maybe that's the difference

Driving that car is an insult to every poor person in Cambodia.

Maybe she just saw her new sandal for her colleague!

I'm with you Dunc, everybody hates an Audi driver.
Can't drive, in exactly the same way that old Volvo owners can't drive.
Wannabe Merc and Beemer toffs with the same sense of entitlement to cheat red lights but without the fiscal firepower to back it up.
All bitter and twisted inside cos they got suckered by the diesel emissions scam.
Nasty people. All of them.
Free the woman, hang the Audi driver from the nearest lamp post..
(the tuk tuk drivers outside will do it for free)
