Interior Minister Sar Kheng on Monday ordered provincial and municipal governors to speed up security preparations for the New Year, as Cambodia prepares for the Year of the Tiger.
During the holiday, Cambodians travel from Phnom Penh and other cities to their homes in the provinces, where they spend three days or more in revelry, in hopes of welcoming a year of prosperity and happiness. But it can also be a dangerous time.
“We must suppress the use of illegal weapons and explosives that can be dangerous to society,” Khieu Sopheak, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry, told VOA Khmer Monday.
