^^^

Dismissed on the authority of whom? Does it say on that decree?

Whoever wields that kind of power can also make the police do their job too. Let's see if glassing a female member of the Khmer HiSo gets a pass.

That was swift. Further to his removal from his post, he should be ordered to drink wine from plastic cups for one year.

This is a serious crime and shouldn't be trivialized.

The sad reality is that removal of someone from their position does not usually mean dismissal, but rather reassignment to another role.
This way action is seen to be taken whilst maintaining loyalties and relationships

The ex-deputy governor has been "removed", but there is still no mention of legal proceedings against him.

December 31, 2022
Kep deputy governor booted from position for violence, harassment against women
Prime Minister HE issued a sub-decree to remove Kep deputy governor Pho Ly for harassing and using violence against two women at a party.

The removal was made at the request of Deputy Prime Minister Sar Kheng, Minister of Interior. The sub-decree was issued this morning, December 31.

On December 29, the Kep Department of Environment, held a party to celebrate the inauguration of the Director of the Provincial Department of Environment. Ly and the women he harassed were present at the party.

Ly had drunkenly kissed one of the women. The situation escalated to him striking another woman, casing injuries to her head.

Witnesses at the scene said that after the attack, Ly wasn’t detained.
