geovalin Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Prime Minister Hun Sen has called for all traditional ceremonies related to Dak Ben and Pchum Ben in pagodas nationwide to be reconsidered or suspended following Covid-19 cases detected among Buddhist worshippers in some temples over the past three days. In an audio message posted on his Facebook page yesterday, Mr Hun Sen expressed concern about a surge in coronavirus cases if people are allowed to go to pagodas. He said the discovery of Covid-19 cases among the temple-goers was a bad sign in the management and control of the pandemic as ‘We are still not out of the woods yet’ with cases still surging in provinces. He added that if a decision is not taken, it may lead to another wave of a new community outbreak, which will be disruptive to all the efforts taken by the government to bring the cases down. “I am really worried that after the Pchum Ben festival, the cases might just skyrocket causing many people to be infected and die. This is serious and not good for the nation,” he said. Mr Hun Sen has instructed the Economy and Finance Minister Aun Pornmoniroth, Health Minister Mam Bun Heng, Minister of Cults and Religion Chhit Sokhon, and other relevant authorities to seriously consider this matter and make an immediate decision. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50940793/pm-calls-for-festival-celebrations-to-be-reconsidered-or-suspended/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Another ridiculous fear mongering attempt by the failed leader. While he may not be responsible for Covid, he and Anutin made many poor moves which allowed the spread. Take some responsibility. Alot of this is directly on you. Not locking down the Samut seafood market area, within a 2km. radius, and and making sure nobody come in and out for 15 days, back in early December when they had 900 plus cases in one day, was a legendary mistake and amounted to gross malfeasance and likely blatant corruption. Not sealing off the border with Burma, with the use of the 550,000 soldiers who are supposed to protect the nation, (and likely do next to nothing daily) and allowing corrupt border officials to continue working their franchises, was another. Announcing the closure of construction sites in Bangkok, a week in advance of closing them was as bone headed as it gets. It allowed super spreaders to travel freely all over the nation, resulting in an immediate surge of nationwide cases. And the severe bungling of the vaccination program is absolutely unforgivable. You want me to go on? This is not Covid. This is Pratin 19! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, when one is speaking of failed leaders, or leaders who have failed their nations, one could be speaking of Hun Sen and Prayuth in the same breath.
