This is a political tactic of CPP. It wishes it get the committee approve the mgt plan within next year so as it attracts people to vote for them in year 2012
l'm not with CPP....Of course why not lets the world know that we've some more Temples in Thailand, Laos and Vietnam.
Khanti's Fobearance
more power to cambodia, the land of temples that dot the country of cambodia.
Temples do not feed people, nor do they protect people from diseases ,ignorance, poverty and greeds from ah youns/siems.
Please, stop worrying too much about Temples.
It is such a joke when I hear CPP to host World Heritage Comm meeting. CPP is working very hard day and night to destroy Khmer identity, heritage, culture and now CPP want to host World Heritage Comm meeting. CPP should host a banquet for Killing field instead.
This is cover up game plays by CPP.
