SRP Litter Collection Is a Positive Thing

Battambang provincial authorities should not be worried by SRP youth supporters running a campaign to collect litter in Battambang town.

This action will not have a negative effect on society. It helps clean the environment and improves sanitation and hygiene, both of which help Cambodia's Ministry of Rural Development and Ministry of Environment.

Even if they were wearing SRP insignia, the litter collectors still helped raise awareness about the environment. We should welcome all youth from any political party—CPP, Funcinpec, SRP, NRP, and HRP—or NGOs who want to contribute to social work.

In the past the Cambodian Red Cross youth and Cambodian Scouts have helped in a lot of social work, such as being traffic guides on weekends. Social work in Cambodia is badly needed regardless of political affiliation, religion, or whether they are from the public or private sector, in order to improve society.

A group of about 200 SRP Youths were collecting trash at the Battambang market on Tuesday, as part of a one-day campaign to collect trash organized by the Sam Rainsy party. SRP official from the Battambang province indicated that the (volunteer) trash collection campaign was organized by the SRP Youths to set a good example to other youths, and to lead other youths to avoid the danger of drug addiction and gambling by contributing to the improvement of the environment instead. The trash collection by the SRP Youths met with some interruption when the cops circled the SRP party headquarters in Battambang with the aim of preventing these youths from undertaking their trash collection campaign. In Prey Veng province, some 600 SRP Youths plan to help villagers with rice harvest during this harvest season.
