A report indicates that Prime minister Hun Sen has ordered the reconstruction of the market stalls located near the staircase leading to Preah Vihear temple that were destroyed by fire during the 03 April clash between Cambodian and Siam soldiers. According to Tuesday’s edition of The Cambodia Daily, Suos Yara, the under-secretary of state of the Council of Ministers, led a government delegation to visit the stalls and the villagers’ homes that were burnt down, and also to evaluate the damage resulting from the fight. Suos Yara said: “The order from Samdach prime minister Hun Sen is that it is necessary that this market be rebuilt.” He added: “Samdach’s goal is that, between the heritage and life, he would choose life before the heritage. Therefore, protecting the interest of the people is a sure necessity.”
Hang Soth, the secretary of the Preah Vihear National Authority, indicated that the fire destroyed about 257 stalls in the market. The market was developed at the foothill of Preah Vihear temple during the past 10 years. Preab Tan, the Preah Vihear provincial governor, said that the new market will be rebuilt with wood, and the stalls will be styled according to traditional Cambodian architecture with tile roof. Keo Neang, one of the market stall owners whose stall was destroyed by fire, said that she now has some hope left after hearing this announcement.

If the Prime Minister Hun Sen orders to bring back the market, it has to be a full financial support from him. This also encourages people to go back to the area to live and to defy Thai aggression.
We need to be strong, good envision for our nation, proud of our dignity and stay united during a difficult time. Long live Cambodia!
ខ្ញុំជឺថាថ្ងៃក្រោយផ្សាហ្នឹងមិនអាចខួចខាតបាន
ដោយប្រកាណាមួយទេទៅអនាគត។
Good first step .. for the sake of his popularity befor election ?.. can HuN SEN do that at Khmer YOUN BORDER ?
PM. Hun Sen can do any thing for Cambodia's interests! That the reason him to lead the country today and future on. Great move PM. Nothing better than seeing active living around the borders. Lets go Cambodia.
I don’t think he’s doing for his political gain before election. It’s for his patriotic and in a name of Khmer’s leadership. Please don’t see it in a wrong way such as damn if he does, damn if he doesn’t. Let leave our difference aside for now and put our nation first.
This Ki-Media is so biased, there are two ways can be written in this report:
1 to be rebuilt only because it is an order from Hun Sen
2 to be rebuilt from an order from Hun Sen
whatever it is hun sen is still psychologically unfit for his job as he also has done more evil things than good to make many khmers suffer.

Thais government has rewarded 1 million baths for an arrested EX. PM Thasin.
How about I will reward 2 millions baths people who can arrested, convicted, General Anupong Paochinda, for crime against humanity.

That's right. It's only because it's an order from Hun Sen. If Hun Sen didn't order, it won't happen, right? Doesn't that mean this good thing happens because of Hun Sen?
Oh KI, you responded to me that you're just siding with Sam Rainsy or Human Right party because it promotes justice and goods.
How is Hun Sen's order to build this market a bad thing? It seems you can't even manipulate the sincerity of the work of other people now that it's too clear and to the bone like this.
One thing I know for sure is that Sam Rainsy has never ordered any construction of anything since his political birth in Cambodia. What has Sam Rainsy, the lover of Khmer, done in Cambodia for the people?
Name one school, one well, one road, one physical contribution that Sam Rainsy has done for Cambodia. It's a tough task because you ain't gonna find any from Mr. Khmer superhero here.
Very mean comment from KI.. sad
yes, don't let the siem intimidate khmer people living along the border. good to go back with a normal life again. they can't win with the law, really!
Actually, when siams does it again send some rounds into their towns as well...the bastard siams should pay for this, not the Khmer gov't.
We burned Thai Embassy, now they burned us. What's Hun Sen's strategy to protect these innocence people? Hun Sen can't win against the enemy' tanks, but he can destroy their will.
In this civilize community means the thai Army have to pay the compensation to the Khmer Citizen lives in Preah Vihear Temple areas.
ទេ! មិនត្រូវសង់អំពីឈើទេ គឺត្រូវសង់អំពីឥដ្ឋ។
Now Hun Sen is thinking like a leader. The Siam tried to erase evidence of Khmer people occupying that space by blowing up the market/ village and claim as their own. Hun Sen must rebuilt this place as soon as possible. We must show the Siam like nothing had happen to that place. Khmer had to think like the Isreali government.
Thailand wants more of our land.
Thailand cannot get enough of our land.
Thai military cross border into Cambodia intended to claims our territory.
Thai military occupied three of our temples and near by Preah Vihear temples.
Thailand have an ambition to claim Preah Vihear temples as their own.
Thailand wanted Prasat Preah Vihear temples to be call Prasat Khao Phra Vihan temple in Thai language.
Cambodia did not even take Thai's land.
Cambodian soldiers did not even cross the border into Thailand.
But ah Hun Sen give away our island Koh Tral to Vietnam.
Almost half of our ocean territory goes with Koh Tral island.
Almost half of our oil fields goes with Koh Tral island.
Thailand wants more of our land.
Ah Hun Sen give away our land.
This show that Ah Hun Sen have no interest in protect Cambodian territory.
Because Ah Hun Sen trade Koh Tral island for his power to Vietnam.
The Khmer peoples continue to have heartaches because Thai took our territories and our peoples.
The Khmer peoples continue to have heartaches because Vietnamese took our territories and our peoples.
This heartaches will go on for many more generations.
