Cambodia's prime minister has banned the use of state vehicles for anything other than official business in a bid to save petrol amid soaring world oil prices.
Prime Minister Hun Sen said in a speech on national radio some officials used state vehicles to drive their families around on weekends.
He did not say what the penalty would be for officials who failed to heed the new ban.
The state does not subsidise fuel prices in impoverished Cambodia, where pump prices are at record highs of almost 1.15 dollars US per litre.
