Cambodia plans to restore Khmer Rouge site

Cambodia's Tourism Ministry plans to restore the last stronghold of the Khmer Rouge in Anlong Veng into a tourist destination.
The plan is to restore top leaders' houses and construct a museum complex with high-tech video displaying the workings within the Khmer Rouge. Those who were born to former Khmer Rouge members and who are not currently awaiting trial for genocide will be enrolled as tour guides of the site as they could tell "real stories" on the lives of Pol Pot, Tamok and Khmer Rouge soldiers after they drew off the final stronghold in Anlong Veng. The project is estimated to cost 1 million USD.

Cambodia uncovers hidden temples

Cambodian specialists have discovered seven ancient temples in Siem Reap are that had been lost to the invading forests and years of civil war in the country.
Some 15 kilometers from Angkor Wat, an ancient temple was recently found in early September. The officials believe it was a Brahman temple, dating back to the late 9th to early 10th century and unrecorded in any documents.
It was the villagers who found this temple covered by the forest while going deep into the jungle and told this to the officials.
Following the discovery, it is believed that many other temples may be still hidden in the forest. Meanwhile, it prompted the authorities to protect and demine the area. The site where the temple was uncovered is known by the locals as Ta Lar Taly, covering the area of about 40 square meters, and its structures reached 15 meters high. The other six temples, which were found in late August and early September north of Siem Reap, were deemed to have been built around the same period and were about 60 square meters.
Due to natural causes and looters who stole most valuable artifacts from the site, most of the temples found suffered dramatic damage to about 50 percent of their structure.

Cambodians urged to eat more dogs

Cambodians are being urged to eat more dogs as part of a crackdown on stray pooches wandering around Phnom Penh.
Dogs along with exotic menus of spiders, beetles and crickets are regularly found in the impoverished rural areas, but in the relatively sophisticated Phnom Penh, eating them is frowned upon.
However, the growing problem from stray dogs fouling around the Cambodian capital has prompted the city's special policy to control a number of these doggies and for city-dwellers, to throw off their traditional snootiness towards dining on man's best friend.
City governor Kep Chuktema tried to persuaded people in Phnom Penh to eat dogs as saying in Cambodia Daily newspaper: "Come on, dog meat is so delicious. The Vietnamese and Koreans love to eat dog meat. (Cambodians) don't have wine, but poor people can enjoy their dog meat with palm juice wine."
