PHNOM PENH, June 25 (Bernama) -- Cambodia has yet to decide whether or not to host the Southeast Asian Games (SEA GAMES) in 2015, fearing the lack of human resources, Xinhua news agency reported, citing a top Cambodian sports official as saying Friday.
"Technically, it is quite tough for Cambodia to host it, especially from the NOCC capacity, but that depends on the government leaders who have clear and long vision on the matter," said Vath Chamroeun, secretary general of the National Olympic Committee of Cambodia (NOCC).
He said a number of factors such as human resource, sports structure, sport management, environment, and financial resource needed to be reviewed before a country decided to lodge a bid for the regional sports event.
It was reported that Laos had to spend about US$100 million to host the multi-sport event in 2009, according to Chamroeun.
A founding member of the SEA Games that was launched in 1959, Cambodia has never hosted the event.
Chamroeun said during a meeting of the SEA Games Federation Council in Jakarta on May 28-29, the Cambodian delegation was advised to host the SEA Games in 2015.

We all depends on Praek Maha Deacho Pracha Oudom Chhleavei Tak Sanak PleiTla You Ankveang Hork Ek-Oudom Hun Sen. Cough up with $ 100 million dollar is a piece of cake for PM Hun Sen. Represent just over 1 % of his Excellency's total income.
Not depend on Mr. Hun Sen or the Cambodian govenment.
I don't think, that we our country is able to organize that kind of event, because :
1.- Cambodia just need more time to develop and rebuild the human resources. Another important facts.
2.- Uur country are still lacking of high profile and good level of athletes for international competition.
Khmer is the poorest people in SEA, they don't have shit to eat. Laos already ahead of Cambodia for long time. Suckers
ohh! THE BUIDING AND ECONOMIC NOT GOING TO GET UP IN 5 MORE YEARS!
wHAT ABOUT THE STOCK EXCHANGE! CAN ANY ONE cook LIKE THE KOREAN!
Will Hun Xen, Sihanouk, Sihamoni and rest of CPP attending the game by 2015? Isn't next election 2013?
The excuse from being host is always rest at the lack of expertise while, in reallity, corruption and non transparency and naive of the dump government are to blame for all these absent. Cambodian Government no vision. they are only good at corruption and creating lawlessness in the coutry.
Everything is in the hand of Hun Xen!
Ah Hun Sen already sold out the historiacl olumpic stadium. you you see anarchy is surrounding the stadium.
