All Cambodian people are the owner of Cambodian territory, nation, culture, religion and so on. They have to know well about their own national heritages and they are definitely encouraged to visit the valuable sites, particularly the border-hugged temples such as Preah Vihear, Ta Moan Thom, Ta Moan Touch… because all temples are attempted to be controlled by the neighboring countries.
Soldiers and local authorities have duty to safeguard Cambodians, along with foreign tourists, who are visiting the temples where are in disputed areas. If Cambodians lost opportunity to see temples, they will not know the value of temples.
Recently, the senior government official refused request of entry to Preah Vihear temple to the Parliamentary lawmakers from July 29 to 31 in an attempt to find out the truth in the area, and also to visit the Cambodian troops who are guarding Cambodian territory, encroached on by Thai soldiers since July 15.
The Defense Ministry refused the visit in a letter dated July 26. And Defense Minister Tea Banh said that “I have not given permission because we are working to resolve the dispute. It is not necessary for [Yim Sovann] to visit the troops,” quoted by the Cambodia Daily.
The solution of disputed areas with Thailand is not involved with the visit of lawmakers to the temples. In fact, the visit is great to encourage all Cambodian troops stationed in the areas around Temple. Or the government intends to hide something happening in the area?
