Don’t Take Your Mobile Phone to Cambodia
I was listening to the BBC’s Dispatches program yesterday and learned of a new morality crackdown in Cambodia. Among the less likely targets are the newer cellular phones:
Along with other powerful Cambodian women, [Prime Minister Hun Sen's wife] Bun Rany decided that these cutting-edge phones would allow would-be mistresses to bombard rich and influential men with suggestive material, leading them into temptation.
“We are all very concerned that bad people will use modern communication and information technology in the wrong way, and this will have a serious negative effect on morality and social welfare,” said the petition from the group some have called the “Phnom Penh Wives”.
What’s next? Gameboys? iPods? The horror.
