"In the past, events especially the information about military actions such as the actions at areas near Preah Vihear temple were classified as a sensational information and have not been provided clearly and accurately," Chhom Socheat said.

"And from now on, we will provide information from ministry and welcome questions from foreign and local media," Chhom said.

good idea. yes, everythings can evolve as the country progresses forward into modernization. ignore the old-school folks who only show skepticism and pessimism on everything cambodia do. it's their own personal problem, really as they seemed not to know how to deal with their own problem. hey, cambodia can always adapt, adopt, change, reform, etc., especially if we see fit and benefit to our country and people. nothing wrong with that, get used to it!

i think cambodia is starting to learnor adopt new idea or concept here. hey, they have spokesperson in every department in the USA, so if cambodia decided to create one, what is the big fuss about it? talking about suppression!
