Prime minister Hun Sen called on all political parties to stop insulting and attacking each others during the approach of the New Year celebration so as not to anger the New Year Tevoda (angel). In a speech given during the inauguration of the Hun Sen high school in Kampong Popil district, located in Pea Raing district, Prey Veng province, Hun Sen asked all political parties to stop insulting and attacking each others so as not to anger the New Year Tevoda. However, he said that, should the Tevoda be angry, the Tevoda should put a curse on those (parties that insult and attack other parties). Hun Sen added: “Some say this and that, look, I am asking everybody: can you be patient until the New Year celebration is over first? Let the kids and the people have fun. I am saying this not to prevent anybody, let our people dance and have fun during this New Year celebration first, because this occasion arrives only once a year only.”
