Chan Sarun, the minister of agriculture, forestry and fishery, called on all Cambodian farmers to temporarily end the catching of frogs for consumption because they are useful in eliminating rice insect pests and thus help save the rice crop from being damaged by these insect pests. In an interview with The Mekong Times on Tuesday, Chan Sarun said that frogs at the main catcher of rice insect pests and they do it free of charge, therefore the farmers should not eat these frogs. He said: “We are not preventing the farmers from eating frogs, but we are asking them to stop this practice temporarily for one month so that the rice crop can grow strong first. Currently, the rice plants are still young and rice insect pests could destroy them.” Chan Sarun added that: “To protect rice during the early phase, I am calling all farmers to stop catching frogs and not to spread urea fertilizer because this fertilizer will make the rice plants look greener and they will attract the rice insect pests even more.

CPP go to Vietname !
here's a good advice, when gov't official tells people not to do something etc., make sure there are other alternatives for them as well as they are just trying to survive because not everyone is all rich and powerful. please keep this in mind if to be a good leader. this way, people in general will see that someone is a good leader for the country because they care about the citizens of cambodia.
Due to hyperinflation and dirt poor Cambodian population hit the hardest and they will eat anything just to survive!
How can anybody stop hungry stomach? How? Maybe AH Chan Sarun can answer my question!
