NGOs pose terrorist threats?

The PM intends to pass a new law to regulate NGOs

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said Friday that the new government will establish a law to manage the non-government organizations in the country.

"We have to know the sources of their fund. We are concerned that their fund could come from terrorist groups," Hun Sen said at the first cabinet meeting.

Terrorist groups could use the non-government organizations or associations as their shelters, he said.

Right. Because building an equitable society and alleviating poverty is the work of terrorists. It already takes mounds og red tape, palm greasing and several months or indeed years to establish an NGO. Many do work under the table because it is so difficult.

NGOs provide services that the Government does not or cannot. NGOs provide services while the powers that be grab land and sell off natural resources.
