After two hours of discussion, the king closed the meeting by praising all the members of the Council who had actively debated and approved the proposals.

Good, but see how far this judicial reform will go. I hope it will not be another ploy to sack good judges and employ cronies and family members. News coming out of Cambodia is that Chea Leang, who is Sok An's niece and is currently a prosecutor at the KR tribunal, will be appointed to a very high position in the Phnom Penh Court. Hehehe, this is what I mean.
