The event attracted more than 300 students and partners from other NGOs, business and the media. "It is great to have joined this event to talk about how to tackle corruption, which is very important. If Cambodia had no corruption or if people knew what to do to fight against it, there would be more development in our country,” said student Neng Pov, 22, at the launch. ![](/images/uploads/feature/TI_Cambodia_PhotoFrame_620.jpg "One of the students who attended the launch at the Cambodia-Japan Cooperation Centre in Phnom Penh.
