Anti-corruption law here is mainly to do with government at all level. I don't think that anti-corruption law shall apply to International NGO because everything shall be dealt by the government of the respective country they represent. However, the local NGO would not escape this law if they derived their funds from foreign emabassies or from Cambodia foreign-government funds projects.

The purpose of the anti-corruption law should be to penalize corruption that is taking place within the government. It is interesting that there is no transparency in the creation of laws that are supposed to encourage transparency and honesty. It’s all so secretive. It looks like it will be delayed further according to the Post. I think a law that regulates NGOs is not a bad idea though. However, it should be a separate law. Some NGOs do not seem to be doing much in Cambodia. Perhaps they are using their NGO name to collect money and perhaps not much actual work is being done with the money donated into their organization. For example, let’s say that the amount budgeted towards a single person’s salary is $2,000 US dollars a month. However, the amount that goes into “humanitarian” work might be only two hundred. That’s something that may be interesting to know – just how much money is actually being spent on the work itself and not the salaries. I have to agree with you.
