Prime minister orders road to Preah Vihear to be paved

The ongoing dispute with Thailand over territory around the Hindu ruins lends urgency to infrastructure improvements

Bulldozers, excavators and other road construction equipment have been sent by military engineers to Anlong Veng and Trapaing Prasat districts to help construct an 80-kilometre road connecting Anlong Veng town to Preah Vihear temple as interest in the historic ruins grows.

"I got orders from Prime Minister Hun Sen to pave the road from Anlong Veng district town to Sa Em village, Kantout commune, Choam Ksan district, Preah Vihear and to finish it as soon as possible," said Kvan Siem, commander of military engineers at General Command Headquarters.

Kvan Siem expects that the road will take just over a year to complete.

"It is a very important road. We need it to be finished as soon as possible in order to make traffic flow smoothly," Kvan Siem said.

"The government expects more people to be travelling to the site and has ordered the road to be built as soon as possible," said one RCAF general who asked to remain anonymous.

While the amount of funds for the construction of the road has not yet been released, Hun Sen advised Deputy Prime Minister Sok An in a Council of Ministers meeting on Friday to use charitable funds, including money raised by the Bayon TV foundation, to pave the road.

Seng Savorn, director of the Council of Ministers, said that government funds will be used to pave the stretch of road from Anlong Veng district to Sa Em, and the funds from Bayon TV's foundation will be used to construct a connecting road up the hill to the temple.

Huot Kheang Veng, assistant to Hun Mana, Bayon TV's director, said that he is unaware of Hun Sen's order to use the station's foundation funds to link to Preah Vihear temple, an increasingly popular tourist site.

What Hindu ruins fool?! AH Sambath Teth needs to get his fucken wording correctly! It is Khmer Phrea Vihear temple on Khmer soil fool!

I don't need AH Sambath Teth to repeat what the fucken Thaicong had been saying which is to discredit Khmer ownership of Khmer Phrea Vihear temple!

It is certain that Sambath Teth lack the background knowledge of Khmer Phrea Vihear temple and he is not in position to write anything on the topic and he need to shut the fuck up!

I hope you are wake up for good. A lot more thing that you have to do

Never to late to do good stuff for your mother land. Stay away from your old king sihanouk because he never accepted his mistake and only wanted to do good thing for his family not your people.

Good luck.

Your good neighbor.

I don't think so. He is very clever king. he strengthen with china to protect khmer from youn and siem. without him youn also will not withdraw their troop back from cambodia in 1987. don't confuse, not because of UN. It's him who push chinese to invade Vietname and force Vientname to pull back their troops from Cambodia. His diplomatic skill is accepted by the strong country in the world.

I agree with 8:22. The Thai started to call these Khmer temples Hindu temples. These temples were built by Khmer kings and Khmer artists in the 8th to the 13th centuries. You do not find these temple styles in India. The Thai decides to fool the world about the origine of the Khmer temples by calling them Hindu temples. Shame on you Thai thieves.

I disagree with 8:22AM. We Khmers from rich culture and rich civilization and noble lineage didn't use those words like: Ah or F.. word. We Khmers are rational and noble no matter we are upset.

Thinking from that logics, 99.99% of the posers on ki-media are "uneducated" people. Damn! I thought you guys overseas get good education but when it comes to Khmer politics, almost everyone's level of intelligence and rational drops quicker than a prostitute. Too much personal feelings and one-sided information you all are accustomed to, much like how majority of American thinking is corrupted by their media when it comes to world politics.

MY small advice to Hun Sen:

Your excellency has so far built many schools, bridges, pagodas, and ect...........and put your name and spouse on all of them

How to get money to pay the road to Prea Vihear, it is easy and simple.

Sell only 15% of your wife diamond rings and necklaces stock along 15% of other top of your cronies officials wives jewelries will help to raise more than enough money to build four lance 80 km road. And your excellency can put your name and spouse on the road.


Good idea??????

My beloved Khmers!

According to my ludicrous opinion and understanding, Hun SenVarman won't be unselfishly and patriotically built the road, 'cause it ain't financially benefit his personal pocket..
Simply asking himself, what country can do for him, not what he can do for the country?

Do you think the Thaicong would give a fuck about your rich culture and noble lineage when they want to steal something from you? Of course not! This is not the time to act all fucken noble in face of the Thaicong naked aggression!
The fact is the Thaicong propaganda new media had been repeating over again and again and again the same old false historical evident claiming about Khmer Phrea Vihear temple as “Hindu ruins” or “ the Khmer Phrea Vihear temple can only be access from the Thaicong side” or “Khmer Phrea Vihear temple is located in disputed land” or “ how the Thaicong leaders can still retain the ownership of Khmer Phrea Vihear temple!”
There is nothing more powerful in this world than for the enemy of Khmer people to implant their thought and idea without the Khmer people knowing it and what is so dangerous is that the Khmer people even accept the enemy ideas and act on it which in turn will destroy Cambodia and the Khmer people! The Khmer people need to know that this is information age and everyday the Khmer people are dealing with the war of information which is designed to mislead, to misdirect, and to create misunderstanding which will create choas in Khmer society! Now I am beginning to see the so called Khmer noble fool such as AH Sambath Teth is accepting the thought and idea of the Thaicong propaganda and he is passing those Thaicong propaganda in the Khmer news media!
The behavior of AH Sambath Teth must not be condoned or allow to go on if he can’t write something which is in the best interest of Cambodia and the Khmer people and he must stop and shut the fuck up now!
I don’t need no noble Khmer people to repeat what the enemy have to say and I am smart enough to know the different!

it's about time to build good asphalt roadways all over cambodia. what took so long already? cambodia can not afford to leave a vast part of our border areas isolated again as this can create problem like border disputes. take thailand for example, they want to keep cambodia isolated so they can claim our land as their own. so, cambodia has to be smart about it by using whatever legality we have in order to justify our sacred land. believe it or not, it would a lot to have our people settle at border areas with all our neighbors because this way, we can mark our own territory legally. god bless cambodia.
