Cambodia ranked 112 out of 113 countries surveyed globally and dead last in the East Asia and Pacific region when it comes to the perceived rule of law, a new report released today states.

this is something to talk about at work tomorrow lol #GoTeam

Just in case you missed the details of this Rule of Law index: Singapore is the top marker for SEA, and Cambodia is the bottom (dregs) of the whole region - worse than the Myanmar junta, worse than the Thai army takeover, worse than Indonesia or the Philippines...

Food for thought.
