The city of Phnom Penh plans to inaugurate the statue of Samdech Sanghareach Chuon Nath, the former monk chief of the Buddhist Mohanikay sect, as well as the statue of Neak Phirum Pheasa Ou, also known as Kram Ngoy, one of Cambodia’s most famous poets, on 20 and 21 February. The Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper reported that the inauguration of these statues will be presided by Kep Chuktema, the governor Phnom Penh, with the participation of about 3,000 students and government workers. The inauguration will start with a Buddhist blessing of the two statues on 20 February. In the evening of that same day, a Bassac theater show will feature of the story of Preah Vessandara (one of Buddha’s incarnation before his illumination), followed by an all-night-long show of Chapey Dorn Veng, in the Hun Sen park. In the morning of 21 February, the official inauguration of the two statues will take place. These two statues were built since 28 September 2006. The statue of Samdech Sanghareach Chuon Nath is located in the Hun Sen Park, in Chamcar Mon district, and Kram Ngoy’s statue is located in the park facing the Cambodiana hotel in Daun Penh district.
