Cambodia drafting sub-decree for awarding winners of sports medals

The Cambodian Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports was drafting a sub-decree to specify the amount of cash award for winners of medals at international sports events, an official said here on Saturday.

The sub-decree stipulates that winner of a gold medal at the Olympic Games will be awarded with 10,000 U.S. dollars, silver medal with 7,000 U.S. dollars and bronze medal with 5,000 U.S. dollars, said Mil Kado, deputy director general of general department for sports at the ministry.

For tournament in Asia, winner of a gold medal will receive 5,000 U.S. dollars, silver medal 3,000 U.S. dollars, and bronze medal 2,000 U.S. dollars, he said.

For regional tournament, player with a gold medal can get 3,000 U.S. dollars, silver medal 2,000 U.S. dollars and bronze medal 1,000 U.S. dollars, he added.

With the sub-decree, the government is trying to encourage the kingdom's athletes to improve their records, he said.

The sub-decree is prepared according to the order of Prime Minister Hun Sen, and will be sent to the Council of Minister and later to Hun Sen himself for official approval, he added.

I don't think our athletes have a chance, so why is this decree even drafted?

How about drafting a decree to close the European-owned bars and businesses along Tonle Sap riverside that discriminate against Khmer customers.

I went into Western-owned bar and was appalled to find out from one of the Khmer girls working that her boss told his workers not to act too friendly to Khmer male customers. However, the girls are encouraged to court white male tourists and to go out with them if they request.

Her boss tried to get to girls to believe that all Khmer men have HIV and the only way to have safe sex is with white men.

I can't believe our people are allowing this to happen in our own land. This is not a political issue so don't even start blaming. I think Khmer people in general tend to be very tolerant of the white supremacist foreigners and don't care if they treat our people like dirt.

You see what I mean, 12:02? The khmer culture are not very safe, now days.

The only solution to this is to choose MP that are Asian trained because Westerner trained people don't see this issue as a problem. Do you know what I mean?

4:44PM. Yes, I see exactly what you mean. I used to think that the Western-educated Cambodians are the more enlightened ones. I was completely wrong! They are so brain-washed by the Westerners that they're longer able to feel compassion for their own people. It's amazing. They're more corrupt than anything Hun Sen has done and if given power, they will turn our country upside down.

No doubt about it, 5:05, not only that they'll wiped out our culture within 6 months or so, but they will also turned our beautiful cities into a city of suicide bombers of Baghdad. By picking and pushing on our brotherly neighbors, .... . The region will be at high risk of destruction with their stupid westerner mentality and idiology.
