SOK AN , THE MOST CROOK & THE DESTROYER OF THE ANGKOR WATH TEMPLE
Saturday, June 20, 2009 Lighting Scheme Has ‘No Affect’ on Temples: Council (Photo: Dap-news) By Heng Reaksmey, VOA Khmer Original report from Phnom Penh 19 June 2009 Council Minister Sok An told the National Assembly Friday that a system of outdoor lighting at the Angkor Wat temples will not hurt the ancient structures and could be a boon to tourism. “The heat from the lamps is 50,000-times weaker than the sun and less than the moon,” Sok An said, citing lengthy studies prior to the beginning of the scheme. Critics of the plan worry the lighting, undertaken under the Apsara Authority, the government body that oversees the temples, could be damaging. Moeung Son, chairman of the Khmer Civilization Foundation, is facing a lawsuit for his public criticism of the lighting. The International Coordinating Committee for Angkor, which advises Apsara, recommended the lighting, on the entryway to Angkor Wat and along the famous temple’s northern bas-relief gallery. Sok An said broadcasters Radio Free Asia and Voice of America were distorting news about the lighting and were “the cause of the confusion of public opinion.” The lighting will enable tourists to visit the temple at night and is among several initiatives being developed by the Ministry of Tourism to attract more visitors at time when the economic crisis has stunted arrivals, Sok An said. Tourism is the second-leading economic driver in Cambodia, behind garment exports. Both sectors have been hard-hit by the global economic crisis. THE EVIL CHINESE CULTURE HAS CONTAMINATED AFRICA FROM CAMBODIA ( occupied by Vietnam in violation of 10 UN resolutions ) Friday, June 19, 2009 Cambodia police arrest 23 Nigerians in heroin case Left: The authority reviewing the proof; Right: The 3 Nigerian men caught with the drug (Photo: Koh Santepheap news) 2009-06-19 Associated Press Cambodian police arrested 23 Nigerian men suspected of drug trafficking as authorities continued to hunt for the ringleader and other suspects, an official said Friday. Police Maj. Born Sam Ath said the 23 suspects were arrested in separate operations Wednesday after authorities received information from a Cambodian woman about their activities. Three of the suspects were arrested while traveling on the road in the capital, he said, adding that officers found 1.5 pounds (0.7 kilograms) of heroin hidden in a bag of clothes. Police interrogated the three suspects and later arrested 20 others, Born Sam Ath said. Investigators continued to search for the group's leader and others involved, he said. He declined to comment on the identity of the leader and the number of those still on the run. The suspects were held at a police station and have not been charged officially, the police official said. Earlier this month, the authorities torched nearly three tons of an herb used to produce "herbal ecstasy" as part of a campaign to wipe out designer drugs. The bonfire destroyed ephedra, used to make "herbal ecstasy" pills that have been blamed for deaths in the United States and elsewhere, as well as another ton of the chemical thionyl chloride, which is used to make methamphetamine. "Herbal ecstasy" typically refers to a combination of stimulants - often including ephedra. Southeast Asia has long been a major producer and exporter of heroin, and in recent years it has also become a major source of stimulant-type drugs such as methamphetamine. Myanmar is a leading exporter of both heroin and methamphetamine, which are smuggled into and through nearby countries. Cambodia has increasingly become a transit route for drug smugglers.
