Cambodian PM calls for help on ASEAN rail


Editor: Li Xianzhi

PHNOM PENH, July 22 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Wednesday called for other countries to provide assistance for the construction of the missing link in Cambodia of the ASEAN railroad which connects from Singapore to China.

"We need help from other countries to construct the missing link in Cambodia of the ASEAN railway," he announced in the workshop of Khmer Art performing at Chaktumok Theater hall in Phnom Penh.

"The ASEAN railway will also provide the huge benefit for other countries," he added. "Therefore we need the help for that project," he said, adding that so far only china has provided the assistance including research study of the project. "China alone will not be enough," he said.

Missing link is distance about the 225-kilometer between Phnom Penh and Loc Ninh, a provincial capital in southern Vietnam. ASEAN ministers have agreed to build a modern railway from Singapore through Thailand and ending in Kunming, China, which will enter Cambodia at Poipet and follow the existing line along the southern shore of the Tonle Sap lake into Phnom Penh.

Sun Chanthol, former Cambodian minister of public work and transport said in 2008 that Cambodia need about 500 million U.S. dollars to build and upgrade Cambodia's stretch of a proposed railway of the ASEAN and it depends on the price of materials. The proposed Trans-Asia Rail Link will be completed by 2015.

Railroad conditions across Cambodia have eroded greatly in the past 30 years so much money is needed for reconstruction and upgrade.

I know Cambodia is poor but I think Cambodia should try not to beg for money. We should work hard to build ourselves up... Afterall, it is that mentality (ang) that got us down in the first place not to mention shameless.

Cambodia has the most ugly railway system. Though it has long history of railway too but the government never rehab this rail system.

We must upgrade the rail system so we can use this to commute throughout the kingdom.

About the news on "one of the PM's son started shooting into the air at the karaoke bar." It 's not a surprise news because " Like father, Like son." When the PM is gone maid , he shoots and his son is gone maid, he shoots too. One of the khmer proverbs said that " Trorkol sar Cheat, mearyeat sar Pouch."

justice dept said...

Hun Sen's Nation has LAWS?
The last time I saw Hun Sen's nation has his court, his Assembly, has 5000 boduguards and more. Hun Sen may be one of the world richest man to own a whole country.
