Cambodian prime minister bans musical vehicle horns to deter dancing
Police told to rip out tune-playing horns and replace them with standard ones after young people seen dancing to passing lorries
Associated Press in Phnom Penh
Tue 19 Mar 2024 17.45 GMT. LINK
The Cambodian prime minister, Hun Manet, has ordered a ban on musical vehicle horns after videos posted on social media showed people dancing on roads and roadsides as passing lorries blasted rhythmic little tunes.
Hun Manet, who last year took over from his father, Hun Sen – who led Cambodia for 38 years, called on the ministry of public works and transportation and police across the country to immediately take action against any vehicle whose normal horn has been replaced by a tune-playing one by ripping it out and restoring the standard honking type.
He said the measure has already been implemented by provincial authorities, but he wanted to announce it publicly to make sure it was enforced nationwide.
He commented on his Facebook page on Monday that recent social media posts had shown “inappropriate activity committed by some people, especially youth and children, dancing on the roadside to the musical sounds from trucks’ horns”.
Hun Manet said such dancing affected public order and posed a traffic hazard that was a threat to life and limb, not least of all to the dancers themselves. One video shows three young people dancing in the middle of a road while a large trailer truck coming their way lays down a beat.

Hun Manet, has got his eye on the important problems of the day I see...

“Who would have ever expected this? Just a couple of kids on a tourist trip.”
Kids? They are 36 and 34, maybe you as their father treating them as kids cause them to act like kids.
Also as heard on NZ radio - Parents are local multi millionaire Business persons and the "boys" are in Thailand on a "Wellness" trip.
At least one of the boys reckons he's a MMA (mixed martial arts) fighter.
I'm reading this last as two boys, still living at home, sent overseas to get some life experience.
Mission accomplished, they'll be wanting to get home to their hipster lifestyle, pronto.

Fran Lebowitz - said - 'You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump' Link
excerpt: Lebowitz thinks the biggest danger of Trump is that he is a moron. “Everyone says he is crazy – which maybe he is – but the scarier thing about him is that he is stupid. You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump. You just don’t.”

and additional details:
Judge Arthur Engoron has ordered former president Donald Trump and the Trump Organization to pay over $364 million in penalties. New York Attorney General Letitia James said that with pre-judgment interest, the judgment totals over $450 million, an amount “which will continue to increase every single day” until the judgment is paid. This is in addition to the $83.3 million he has been ordered to pay E. Jean Carroll in her defamation case. So how will Trump afford to pay the staggering fees?
and:
... investigation into Trump’s tax returns which kickstarted NY AG Letitia James’ Trump Org. case.
... Trump’s N.Y. civil fraud trial ruling, including the case being redirected to the IRS for audit, and potentially to federal authorities...
... In addition to the $83.3 million he owes to E. Jean Carroll, the IRS audit of the Trump Org. could result in a penalty in excess of $100 million, which is “growing every day” with interest...
...“It’s a real issue… These are huge. And they’re not things you can put off for another day.”

*IF* I were to have a medical condition or mental impairment that would make driving a car dangerous to myself or others, my doctor is legally obligated to notify the DMV (Dept. of Motor vehicles) that I am not fit to drive. Yet *IF* a person is deemed mentally incompetent or violent, the doctor cannot notify the Justice department or law enforcement that that person cannot own/buy a gun. You see, that person has “rights…”
Similarly *IF* one has brain surgery, specifically anything inside the skull, that touches the brain, NZ Doctors are required to inform the Patient- no driving - 6 months. They don't seem to have any requirement to inform the Law.
Though after my surgery, no one said a thing. I was watching for it. Nothing.
On the other hand getting a gun license here, is a really big rigmarole, so much so, I haven't wanted one. Or a gun.
A compound bow, on the other hand, can be got, so long as you only ever use it an a law abiding manner, as with a baseball bat or a crow bar.

It's worth noting that the appeals court lowering of the civil trial bond from ~.5 billion to 175 million, does not change the judgement in this case.
Unless and until the appeal is successful, the original judgement of ~454 million + interest etc, stands.
Also the appeals court has not stayed, the two court appointed monitors, who oversee Trump and his businesses.
