10 things banned in Cambodia
some might surprise even long term residents;
http://www.phnompenhpost.com/lifestyle/ ... ign=buffer4. Taiwanese and Tibetan flags
Even flags are subject to the Cambodian government’s scrutiny, as Prime Minister HE announced the banning of the Taiwanese and Tibetan flags this year. This is in line with Cambodia’s support of the “One China” principle, which asserts China’s sovereignty over Taiwan and mainland China, including states with separatist movements. Speaking on the policy, HE said, “In the case of Taiwan, I request that Khmer-Chinese refrain from celebrating Taiwanese holidays and brandishing the Taiwanese flag, as it is prohibited.”
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Re: 10 things banned in Cambodia
Funny article, but there are a lot more things not banned here than banned.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: 10 things banned in Cambodia
It depends on who you are and what you have done as to whether you get arrested here. Apparently it's illegal to smoke in bars and restaurants, and apparently it's illegal for Cambodians to gamble. Where is bong Eliot Ness when you need him?

Yeah, right, in their dreams.
Where would they source the hq steel?
And how would they layer it?
Journo should know better.

To be fair, that's pretty much the story in every country in the world, bar a very few.cptrelentless wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2017 4:55 am It depends on who you are and what you have done as to whether you get arrested here.

Re: 10 things banned in Cambodia
10. Marriage to Koreans
With the discovery of human trafficking rings intended to send brides to Korea, officials banned marriage between Cambodian women and South Korean men in 2010 for about a month. This is the second time the Cambodian government has banned marriage between Cambodian women and foreign nationals; in 2008, there was an eight-month ban of marriages to all foreigners.
They missed out no.11: Marriage to any foreigner 50 years of age or older. Or if younger, needing to hsve $2500 per month income in a country with an official GDP-PP of around $1000 per year: otherwise, BANNED
That's your racism, right there.

Re: 10 things banned in Cambodia
A few more for the list:
Sex toys. They are banned from the KOW.
Electronic cigarettes are illegal in Cambodia.
Adultery is also illegal (under certain conditions like if you are an annoying member of the opposition.)
Actually, many things are illegal for members of the opposition. Too many to name, and the gate-posts keep moving, so you never know.
Things like having meetings or gatherings without permission may also be illegal. Even weddings and engagement parties can be illegal
Making too much noise can be illegal too.
Sling-shots are illegal in Phnom Penh if I remember rightly from an old thread here. Guns also for most people.
And apparently, it's also illegal to chop down Cambodia's native forests and sell the wood to Vietnam.
