THE Ministry of Information has announced plans to build an internet cafe at it offices next year, with the aim of giving journalists access to information and resources related to their work.
"Some media institutions do not have the ability to connect to the internet for their staff to do research," Information Minister Khieu Kanharith said Monday. "We will put 20 computers in the internet cafe and make available many important [government] documents for reporters."
Journalists would be required to pay the ministry a small fee to use the resources, but Khieu Kanharith said it would be cheaper than commercial cafes.
Wealth of information
Seng Thai, a journalist for Radio Voice of Democracy, welcomed the idea, saying that it would open up a wealth of information previously unobtainable to journalists.
"Currently, I search for information on the internet at my workplace, but some documents are still not available," he said. "The Ministry of Information is the best source for all reporters, so it will be wonderful if this plan goes ahead."
But he was hesitant about paying to use a publicly-owned service. "If reporters have to pay, they will go to other internet shops that are better rather than spending time at the Ministry of Information."

This guy Khieu Kanharith can't be truth, especially when it come to sensitive information.
There is alway double edged blaze with what ever this guy is doing or saying.
Reminding to all,
Hun Manet is in charge of the Head Anti-Terrorist in Cambodia after his father,Hun Sen,had swiched him off of a MP seat at Siem Reap electorial site.
They like to control the all of Information that related to Cambodia.
Scarred-face Monster, Khiev Kanharith, is notorious for lying like a gas meter, sexual misconduct, sexual harassment, careless fucker and a hypocrite.
Hun Sen like him because he is a blindly faithful dog who is always barking at what Hun Sen says "BARK".
Khiev Kanharith is NOT an good Government Barking Spokesman. It is hard to understand his barking. It is always pointless. But His Master, Hun Sen, like him for his barking. This is a "Bird of the same Feather will flock together"
I guess the site will have two lines of information for the next five years.
My advice take a 1 min. long subscription or none at all.
Yea tell us something that we don't know about the CPP and Hun Sen.
With the internet everyone can itself to express.No need of the representatives of the human rights.
With internet, the government proves that it has not fear of the political opposition,
With internet, the government leaves to express itself the democracy.
With internet, the
government can check, exploit and orient as its wants all information.
Internet is fair democracy, and fair human rights.
This is an excellent initiative.
Yet, we have another dumb fucked running the Ministry of information to place a dumb fucked prime minister.
These fuckers are bunch of fucking losers.
Certainly, this is a good opportunity for these son-of-bitches to spy on their people.
All of you CPP members are dumb fucked son-of-bitches who think that we're dumb, but you people are the dumbest fucked on the face of this earth.
Shut the fuck up, Ah Kiev shit!
So, the journalists can access to those untruths
information from the government CPP.
Thank you Hun Sen.
but we need internet outside the ministry of Information! So, stop selling public buildings!
Gasoline is too expensive to travel outskirt of the city!
