Phnom Penh bans rotisseries for inciting violence

Phnom Penh - Spit-roasting whole cattle on the streets of Phnom Penh has been banned after claims it glorifies violence in the Buddhist country, local media reported Thursday.

The familiar sight of restaurateurs across the Cambodian capital cooking bovines outside their eateries to entice patrons could soon be a thing of the past.

The government has issued a directive telling businesses to keep their roasts out of the public eye, The Cambodia Daily said.

The decision followed a meeting of the supreme council of the Mohanikaya Buddhist order late last year during which it was decided that roasting carcasses in public glorified the killing of animals.


'Grilling cows in front of the restaurants is a show of support for violence in a country that believes in the Buddhist religion,' council member Chhoeng Bunchhea was quoted as saying.

'It can instil the ideas of a massacre to a child and push them to commit violence in society,' he said. 'We want a nonviolent culture and happiness in society.'

The directive technically came into force last month but has been widely ignored, the report said, leading officials to plan to step up enforcement.

Support PM Hun Sen on this issue, but what about police and military beaten up and assassination of Khmer peoples. This has to be stop. I believe many bad thing that had done to Khmer people the PM was not fully aware, but sometime he does know and give a green light. Hun Sen still my first choice for our leadership but please PM can you do more to help Khmer peoples and her sovereignty. If you can do these thing you will be forever our hereo. Hun Sen is our strongest among all Khmer leaders present and in the past 20th century to now.

Khmer/Cambodian folks, please to make sure that it is not NEW HIDDENT/SECRET YUON/VIET AGENTS THAT FORM NEW KHMER ROUGES AS YUON/VIET PROPAGANDA in the blind eyes of foreigners and Khmer people again.

It is has been a Yuon/Viet trick and secret among Khmer Society. There are many Yuon/Viet born in Cambodian/Srok Khmer speaking Khmer language and their Yuon language. They may causes the problem again in 21st century.

We,Khmer people, should know that Without Khmer Rouges like Pol Pot, Ieng Sari, Khiev Saphan, Noun Chea (who had done the big mistakes and wrong, but they admitted that they had said that they had done something wrong and told the truth in ECCC about Yuon/Viet) including other Khmer Rouges Compatriots who care about Khmer National because they repeatedly heard about the trick of Yuon/Viet playing too many games and tricks to encroach the land of Khmer to overcome and satisfy Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh goals as their plans. So far, Viet/Yuon master-minded evil leaders have not achieved their goals so far until today, but they still keep trying and keep trying to play the trick. Now, Khmer people, you see that Hun Sen is the one that Yuon/Viet Communist Master-Minded evil masters are using him (Hun Sen, their dog) until today. SEE???

Just watch out, Khmer/Cambodian people and don't be fooled.

Wake up, wake up, wake up!!! It is a wake-up call!!!

Khmer Yeurng!
