Angkor Wat Light or Lie?

These few weeks the most disturbing and untolerable news that has stirred up my life day and night is concerning the Angkor Wat light decoration aiming at attracting more tourists to the country during the global economic crisis initiated by Apsara Authority.

Can this equipped light attaract more tourists to Angkor Wat and Cambodia as a whole while a leader of a country is incompetent to lead a country with transparency,  security, stability, human right respects, and yet committing corruption and dependent on alm and submitting to neigboring countries? 

Apsara Authority claimed that it is done according to international standard, consulting UNESCO and other related institutes.

As reaction against the light decoration, manny ordinary Cambodians, scholars, congressmen, and as well as NGOs’ representatives have voiced their concern over the affect of the equipped lights.

As a result Hun Sen government doesn’t only listen to Cambodian people who, if the our constitution is truly respected, are the master of the country, yet it has tried to silent all the critics.

Personally, the light decoration is untolerable and I think those who allows this project to be carried out is considered as a traitor and are untolerable.

Those people must think about the long term and should have done their best to preserve this most wonderful work of our greatest ancestors who have built this marvelous heritage for the world, for us and has become the soul, the spirit, and the pride of our people and nation.

More to be posted on this issues.

Is Hun Sen’s government different from those Cham and Siam in the past who  distroyed our beloved Angkor Wat when they invaded us?
