Watch: Cambodian Human Rights Committee mistakes Singapore for Libya in warning video

We’ve never been to Libya before, but we’re pretty sure they don’t have the Marina Bay skyline nestled in their desert dunes. 

The Cambodian government recently issued an official video that warns its citizens against raising unrest and ruin — by somehow misusing civil rights. 
Titled “Using The Rights In An Anarchic Way”, the Cambodian Human Rights Committee seeks to crack down on dissent by human rights groups (ironic) by showcasing how Syria and Libya used to be thriving metropolises before the Arab Spring. 

Apparently though, Libya used to have Clarke Quay shophouses, the Maybank skyscraper, and generally the whole Singaporean Central Business District before folks started revolting against despotism, corruption and other issues. Damn. Maybe thats one of the reasons why Aung San Suu Kyi says she’s not going to turn Myanmar into Singapore
