Prayers to be held for late King Sihanouk

[geovalin]

Prayers commemorating late King Norodom Sihanouk are expected to be held today on Memorial Day. The National Committee for National and International Festivals yesterday said the prayers will mark King Sihanouk’s achievements during Cambodia’s struggle for independence, national reconciliation, unification and development.

 

Phnom Penh Governor Khuong Sreng yesterday said all public and private institutions are required to display a photo of the late King. Mr Sreng said all institutions must also join officials in prayer, while monks will lead prayers at pagodas.

 

“All preparation for the mass prayer must be suitable to honour the King,” Mr Sreng said, adding that the municipal information department must promote the King’s story and highlight his achievements, while police must provide security and order as high-ranking officials pay tribute at the Samdech Preah Borom Ratanak Kod Statue near Independence Monument.
